I thought pitlord is a non-cm hero, isn't he?
I think he could fit the current meta quite well. He's good for mid with high damage, armor and an aoe nuke for bottlecrowing, he's got a big disable, the aura seems strong for lategame teamfights, and his ult could be really strong with splitpushing being so prevalent right now.

Would you level it up, tho? I thought you would rather take firestorm to spam down the lane and have damage for fights and pit of malice for the disable. And since the aura is percentage based on damage, it should be fine taking it later.

You should get one point in it, since the damage gained from things dying is the same at all levels, and it is already 30 second duration at level 1.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

well yes, you only need one level of it to make a huge impact though
an 18% damage reduction to 50 damage is -9 damage, then with the increased damage you have at least +5 damage to work with, not a lot of heroes have this kind of damage differential

and his base stats are very good already

Ah, makes sense. So the damage reduction works like anchor smash damage reduction? That would make a morphling very sad, when like 90% of his damage comes from stats even in lategame.

Firestorm deals negligible damage at level 1, but it's powerful enough for head-on fights or pushing at lvl 3-4. I think that dumping the first point into pit is pretty essential at the side lanes, unless you want to go into last hitting mode in middle lane with the aura. Either way firestorm should be maxed by level 7 imo.

Pit aura at lvl1 is legit since that remake, help any lane that you go to. I miss pitlord so much.

So I totally have to ask. Recently I've been seeing morphlings replicating their manta illusions. I swear this was changed so that you couldn't do that way back in dota 1 cause it was op. Did they seriously never implement that mechanic in dota 2?

You can't replicate your own illusions in dota 2. Could you link a clip/replay where you see this?

Xiao8 confesses to this girl who has always been a major fan of LGD; going to their competitions live etc on a reality tv show but gets rejected. Probably because the girl thinks xiao8 can't do anything outside of gaming and that gaming doesn't have that big of a future but that's my guess.

You can replicate SD and darkseer illusions still, afaik. It's a pretty clever juke, not many people expect it.
