I'm not hating on them because I know how Valve roll but damn man... Think about the millions of people in Asia who are waiting for this! It will also have been 3 years and a new expansion and SC2 still won't have all the features that the community wanted since sc2 WoL beta. I'd rather have a great release then an 'ok' game that needs a ton of work that won't really get done until 3+ years after the game was released. | ||

I am certain it can be attributed to my own terrible play but I am curious as to "work arounds" or suggestions. Thanks. If the game gets to the point where OD is level 23, he generally takes over the game at that point, barring harder carries that have specific usefulness against him. "How do I deal with level 23+ OD?" is essentially tantamount to "How do I deal with 4-item Void/AM/etc.?" Either you have a similarly farmed hard carry, or you have to build up enough of an advantage before that point to deal with him. | ||

Thanks. you really can't (besides avoiding the aoe altogether) unless you somehow get an ungodly amount of intelligence alternatively you can just kill him (with your friends) before he uses it edit: or what yango said | ||

As the previous posters have said, by that time you should have a sheepstick or bkb and sufficient damage to kill the <insert any hardcarry> or you just lose. | ||

By and large if you're dealing with level 23+ OD, the issue is rarely the need for counter-items, but the fact that you're trying to come up with a solution to letting a game get to level 23+ on a hard carry like OD unless you have a similarly farmed hard carry that can deal with OD. By and large, the best way to deal with OD is going to be to not let the game get to that point, as the hero's primary weaknesses manifest much more strongly during the midgame than the lategame (no AoE, no hard disables, no escapes, etc.). | ||

And at that point your BKBs will be down to 5 seconds, meaning that unless you have a hard carry that can handle him regardless, that 5 seconds isn't quite enough.

Assuming two similar farmed team, a team with 3-4 bkb on him will basically nullify Destro possibilities and obliterate him before the Bkb are out. OD may be an hard carry, but he's the only one that is countered easily by an item that every carry should get anyway. When your carry can attack 5 people and destro can attack only 2 you're in a pretty good position. He's good but his power isn't in the lategame but rather in the laning phase and in the midgame before the enemy team get mass bkb. | ||
