Contenders include Bear, Bane, Brood, OD, SD, and Viper, who are all basically must-ban/pick status in tournament 1v1, and on an individual level it's hard to definitively call one of them better than the others depending on matchups. Viper is probably best solo safe lane, but he does want a solo. He's not stable enough solo or dual off-lane if the enemy trilanes. OD vs Bear, Brood, and Viper are all even or better for the other side depending on the situation (e.g. Bottle-Crow or Soul Ring allowed, OD gets crushed by Brood once Spiderlings reach critical mass because he has zero AoE to manage them). SM isn't on that list anymore? Interesting. | ||

He probably forgot to mention it. But then again, Yangobot doesn't forget... | ||

Jungle AFK split push lycan might win a ton of games without having to worry about the skill of your team... but if you raise your MMR by a lot, you'll be screwed when you want to play real heroes anyway since you've "faked" your MMR increase and you haven't actually improved to that level. Better to just play the game the way you enjoy it, then work on improving second hand. Having a high MMR is a reward, it should not be a goal, being good at the game should be the goal. | ||

Finally having a favorite hero to play that can't be immediately counterpicked is refreshing to say the least. Windranger says hi. | ||

The thing is, even though Viper is probably gonna have a little bit more damage than you, you can still farm with your skills and bottle crow the mana you lost/harass you've taken. Against OD, though, not only you are gonna have less damage, but even less mana to use your skills. edit: Sure, if you are in a hypothetical 1v1 situation with no runes and no bottle crow, we can all agree that Viper is one of the best, but a situation like this never happens so I wouldn't consider Viper a "nightmare" in the laning stage. Good ? Yes. Nightmare ? No. | ||

Kind of have an "all-stars" esque match in Ability Draft for a day, maybe replacing or adding on top of the one v one mid tournament and all stars thing. I think that would be fun. They could do so much trash talk during the draft, it would be amazing. It could be during the all-stars match imo. | ||

This is why you always have to toggle it on as Chaos Knight before ulti. | ||
