Why would you do such thing ? at the start of the game, i guess i left that out. so basically bought sentries somehow without the gold, sold them to get more at the start. You mean his teammates pooled him sentries and he sold them for gold? yeah thats an old known bug I think. Generally you can punish the NOBODY HAS ANY ITEMS AT LEVEL 1 strat but I guess sometimes not. I thought they fixed that bug with sentries and clarities :/ I don't recall there ever being a patch note for it being fixed. I thought I remembered watching EE's stream while he complained that he couldnt do the clarity trick anymore. Could be wrong though :p Whoa! A pro complained not being able to exploit a bug? Darn. Hahaha! Creative use of game mechanics. No, pooling has basically always been illegal. Not meant to be able to sell other peoples items. It isn't even useful since you can already pool regen. 50% efficiency plus startup cost makes it not worthwhile regardless probably. Unless you're EE.

its ~2k gold if everyone pools their sentries to a single person i think there was a video of it with a pudge buying blink right off the bat
pretty useless if you ask me

well, for one thing pudge literally cannot buy a blink dagger. For another, its 603 + (4x600/2=1200) = 1803 gold so... unless randoms it isn't even enough for stuff like midas.

The person getting pooled has to buy a sentry ward as well so that the bug works.

i'd just give minute 0 midas to alch and let a fair amount of the gold remain especially for the mid laner. draft someone like prophet who doesn't actually need items to go up against a trilane besides a few clarities at most and you just pretty much won the game. hell, even doing something like giving a soul ring to Brood would basically win you the game. level 1 bottle plus wraith band for Shadow Fiend? level 1 oblivion staff for qop or storm? shit's scary.

pudge can't buy blink.... It was a bug before that you pool the player then he repicks to pudge. Look at Na'Vi's Tricks and tips on their youtube

Yeah, TBH @ level 1 the most important thing in the game is XP, and while midas *does* give you an early lead in that you can't even get a midas @level 1 unless there are some randoming shenanigans going on. MAYBE lvl 1 rosh with a pooled medallion or something is the best strat I can think of but really just 5-man TP for that shit if you are so coordinated I think.

Level 1 Soul Ring is pointless for Brood because in virtually all circumstances she won't even get Spawn Spiderlings until level 2, and it won't be good to spam until like level 3 because the first rank isn't that good--it's damage at rank 1 is equal to its damage gain per rank.
If you really feel the need, you can pool her regen. Beyond that, there's not much excuse for Brood not having her Soul Ring by level 3 unless it's a 1v3 lane where the Soul Ring doesn't help anyway.

Virtually all of these are less effective than stacking level 1 Rosh XP onto a single hero while also requiring a far greater investment from your teammates.
A QoP or Storm who is level 6 in 2 minutes is scarier than one that has a 0 minute Oblivion Staff at the cost of all his teammates.

Pooled medallion for lvl1 rosh with a non-traditional rosh lineup actually sounds kinda cool lol (if abysmal obviously).

All I need to know is: Are the new items out this week? Can I buy the weenier dog when I get home?

Valve never official states when patches will go live. Typically it's 24 hours after they hit the live realm, but patching on a Friday doesn't seem like a good idea. Valve normally does test realm Wednesday and then go live on Thursday night.

Would much rather buy a PMS then get pooled regen. Insanely hard to kill brood like that.

I've always wanted to see a level 6 zues from Rosh XP when the game starts.

In a tournament we did that once with tinker. The mid laner raged so hard lol. Insta kill every time he comes into lane.

If only zoos wasn't virtually the worst lvl 1 rosh hero in the game lol. Like, could he even out-dps rosh's regen to get the level 5 @ 0 mins XP if all his buddies left with rosh @ 1% or w/e?
