Almost lost a 5v3 with Magnus, Enigma, Tiny and Alch on my team, maybe I should just kill myself.

I've lost a 5v3 before.

Worst game I ever played.

We had a huge kill/tower lead in the early game too, game should have ended at ~20 minutes.

So much memories to this hero, oh TC!!!!

His intitial release form was way too fucking ridiculous. Then again so was Bat, but at least no one knew how to play him.


Bat had EIGHTYFOUR base damage lmao. And napalm was the same as now. The hero was so ridicolous in laning lmao.

lmao

And I thought he was stupid now. . .
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

To this day in the Icefrog era I still maintain that 90 mana cost Cold Feet was the most bullshit release Icefrog has ever done. I almost quit Dota over that.

Don't forget that at the time AA was also a 4 base armor hero and the ult CD scaled 44/32/20.

Was about to point them out. Also, how many times has Phoenix been reworked by now? I don't even know what the current one can do. Maybe Icefrog should give it up. The incarnation with the aoe 400 heal/damage was also pretty stupid.

Phoenix is still busted. PIS, 2009, Kssssss, etc. all refuse to play the hero in high level DotA 1 pubs because it's too strong.

IIRC 09 actually called the 6.75 rework a buff and not a nerf.

So what would you suggest the build would be:

Starter; 3x GG branches, salve, tango, clarity
Early game: Boots, Wand, Urn (?)
Core: Arcane, Meka, Hood (?)
Situational: Medallion, ???
Extension: Heart, BKB, Deso, Shivas

Who gives a crap about non-cm mode heroes... They're always weird, OP pr useless and change drastically every other patch... It's not even worth paying attention to them, imo.

THEY ARE WHEN YOU COULDN'T GO A PUB GAME IN MONTHS WITHOUT SEEING THEM.

That was a painful time . I have bad memories of phoenix's egg living on 1 hit .

Hood is a situational item in general. Deso is meh, AC much better. Pipe to situational. Maybe add a Drum somewhere in there as well.
