Get blown up every fight and run out of mana after casting two-three Heals, let alone your Ult. Kinda feel like that's where I am with my Necro. It's like 2-6 with 14 assists. Just doesn't feel powerful or useful unless I can solo mid. But I sill love him for puzzling reasons. The item recs have been very useful. | ||

Seems like the ability suggestion forum is unavalible, but hero suggestions are. I read some allegations that Riot ripped off ideas from the ability suggestion. I wouldn't put it past them them but unless there will be some kind of proof there is nothing that can be done. | ||

But I sill love him for puzzling reasons. The item recs have been very useful. I wonder if he could get some burst farming done with massive jungle stack or two at lvl 5, though it's likely he doesn't seem to have enough damage without help to clear the stacks, unless it's something like only satyrs/wolves, maybe ogres. Considering he could abuse the unlimited targets of Pulse, but really the manacost will probably stop it from happening. Maybe early Soulring shenanigans... Easy camp should be clearable early when stacked, but might not give enough stuff back to warrant it, unless its some crazy Radiant dual mid or roaming support stacking it while passing by. I like to play with ideas, though I don't think these will turn out any good. | ||

THIS This is the equivalent of Dendi writing a Pudge guide. I can´t find words for it. I still remember reading the mechanics forum without end. Any question you ever had was in there, already answered. In that forum they discovered the pseudo random number distribution WC3 uses. Not by sifting through code, but by brute force. They wrote a map if I remember correctly, that had several dummies attacking each other and keeping a log of which hits were criticals. Multiple people did, kept those maps running over night. And why did they? Because of a hunch. Seriously, fuck Pendragon for destroying that. | ||

It only took ~15 minutes of browsing to find a hero concept in the hero suggestion forum that became a champion in LoL. http://web.archive.org/web/20090221034430/http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=128922 http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Brand Third skill and ultimate obviously don't make sense in the context of LoL, but first and second skill (and the "bonus effect when burning" mechanic in particular) were pretty much ported wholesale. | ||

The difference is that Dreamhack didn't want to abide by exclusivity, so they provided their own prize pool rather than taking Riot's money in exchange for exclusivity. As far as I'm aware this is not changing? | ||

Not only is he incredibly fun to play in public games, but he is considered so powerful that he is either a ban or first pick in organized games. Although he does not have an escape mechanism (more recently with the Dagger nerf), he is one of the few non-stun Intelligence heroes to see competitive play. Zeus is not too complex of a hero: He has insane burst damage early game, with great scaling lategame thanks to Static Field, and a global nuke that is perhaps one of the most annoying skills in all of DotA. It is amazing to go back in time and read this. I still remember reading this guide so many years ago when I was new to Dota. :D | ||

Well the art belongs to them, so it might just be for that. Regardless, as long as this doesn't affect DotA, I wouldn't worry. And if it does affect DotA, well fuck Riot's exclusivity bullshit. | ||
