It's the 12 second rapture that makes the hero infuriating to play against. I kill that fucker in 3 seconds and have to stand around FOR YEARS afterwards

I like picking Bane or Tree against him. Gives people time to either TP away, or just fight him.

they're both fine in pubs, tb might even be stronger because you aren't as reliant on your team, and obviously is more fun than a BANANASLAMJAMMA gyrotrash hero.

unfortunately he's quite ass competitively coz all the meme picks rape him (qop lesh storm bs etc.)

Virot2's (I think that was his name) manta Tinker guide was the guide that opened my eyes to the hero. I don't remember a thread flaming BoTs on him though; I assumed people quickly figured out that was the main way to play him.

ya it was Virot2

iirc back then you could also have up to 3 manta illusions (rearming manta would spawn 2 more and only remove 1) which was neat

Nope didn't work that way, as others have said you'd need a separate Manta.

And he definitely advocated BoTs.

And yes BKB Tinker was so insanely strong.

He advocated BoTs after Euls tough.

One comment on getting Boots of Travel first: I watched the timer in the game, and when you were in the period where you would use Missiles and March until out of mana, then teleport home and restore mana, you spent almost exactly 30 seconds out of combat every trip home and only about a minute in combat between trips. Considering that you got Eul's later, I really think that getting it first would allow you to influence the game more than BoT did.


this was before bottle was a thing though

How do you handle people who love playing Viper?

Or does that question not really make any sense?
