- Recently. Almost 90% of my games end up with two 5-man armies running together across the map. Is there a way to counter this? I feel if I stick with my team, joining the 5-man army, it almost always ends up bad. - There are so many good players suddenly. And they pick heroes that are "easy" to snowball with. Eg. Slark, Ogre, Sky, and PA of course. ---- I'm looking for tips and strategies that are good vs these kind of games. (Yes the assassinate contract thing) NB: Sometimes I can barely leave my base. While my 4 teammates stand together by our T2, and they barely defend towers. And my carry does not farm. Desperate need tips | ||

Split push and TP in if there is a fight. Don't be a part of the group of 5. | ||

Tower and assist gold are somewhat unreliable, and if ES isn't a core then he doesn't really get last hits in lane. dont die. you can get a 20min blink quite easily just by not dying. this applies to any hero, but its especially ez with es because he only needs to do one thing and thats land a good fissure with the occasional echo slam. when youre not fighting, just take any free lane you know your carry wont/cant take, or as you said, just stack and clear with fissure+enchant totem. arcanes -> blink -> force/agh | ||

I saw zero indication they get any bonus damage and never have? Sorry I was wrong (and the wiki I checked was wrong) so what is their damage upgrade? | ||

That's my reference. Thinking on it, I now am unsure if it applies to one lane, or if it is megas specific. I thought that the last time I played they got the damage upgrade, but I'll have to test when I get the chance. Regardless, there is an upgrade to them, albeit not as dramatic as normal supers. I'll come back and let you know (unless someone else does first.) | ||

I just tested it in client and they do upgrade on one lane of rax. Also: they do call them "mega siege creep" now when all rax are destroyed but there is no difference in HP or damage. | ||

Yeah, it's on the Viper Strike tooltip, Press alt and mouse over it and it will say that viper striked heroes can be denied when they are below 25% health. | ||

Tooltips can be wrong. Go test it yourself in a sandbox game, you can't deny viper striked heroes. | ||
