I'm still hoping to see one of the expert pangos get a force staff after blink to abuse rolling thunder even more. That shit is just hilarious. There's no way the frog isn't nerfing this next patch

why would you go force staff?
so you can hit them faster from a distance?
force your opponent away while they're facing exactly opposite?

force staff for the same reason its good on lots of initiators (clock axe tide etc) because the added mobility is often enough to keep you or a teammate alive long enough to escape

questionable on this hero since he seems to need +damage of some kind to achieve full potential

imo its decent on the 4 position but the hero is pretty slot dependent and not really beneficial to rolling thunder except to force somebody into a chokepoint

isnt he somewhat like an offlane slardar? from what i've seen of him being played so far(granted just midas mode and probably that one iceiceice game) he seems to be a really teamfight disruptive core that is really hard to kill yet annoys the hell out of people and if you just ignore him his damage starts to add up in teamfights.

so far blink seems pretty core on him just because in huge teamfights it allows you to reliably get a rolling thunder off, and allows him to reposition himself. imo the diffusal + basher + blink is pretty optimal on him now.

although why haven't people been using shadow blade on him? i just tested out shadowblade post rolling thunder, and it actually works. seems like it would be a royal pain in the ass to deal with when you just get stunned out of nowhere

EDIT: force staff in rolling boulder ignores cliffs. this might be really useful actually

Depending on the game force staff can be superuseful on any non carry but that's superobvious and not what I was talking about- I want to see Pangos force themselves towards cliffs/walls during rolling thunder to get more turnarounds on the same hero. I'm not saying that's the epitome of usefulness/efficiency, I just wanna see it for the pure assholery of doing that :D
In general the extra mobility should make for some awesome mo(ve)ments for the viewer.
edit: the stats on force staff seem to be pretty desirable for a pos4 Pango too

Hey guys

I've checked in the thread but can''t find it

So I have an issue.
With his 1st spell
I dunno how to "hit" in a direction after the dash.
The area appear only a millisecond & I always have to do it in front of me.
Is it me being autistic ?
Is it an option to change ?

please help

It's not an option, no.

You need to hit the spell once, then it will activate an UI element (a green column that you can move), and hit the spell a second time to validate your angle.

Basically hit the button once, aim, then confirm by hitting the same button a 2nd time.

I just click the point where I want to dash to, hold the mouse button, "turn" mouse for slash vector and release button. Seems a lot faster.

Yes, I actually do the same :3

Hit the spell hotkey, click left mouse button to determine the root of the shot (the green circle), keep the button pressed to angle it.

And either release left click to confirm or right click to cancel.

There are three options to cast it:

From Liquipedia:
Q uses Vector targeting.
- Upon left mouse key press, the dash point is determined, and upon release, the direction is determined.
- When using quick cast on key up, the point is determined on ability key press, and the direction on ability key release
- When using quick cast on key down, the point is determined on key press, and the direction can be determined by either a mouse left click, or by pressing the key again.

If you aren't doing quick cast, the proper sequence is press Q, release Q, click dash destination, drag mouse in damage direction, release click.

If you sequence it as press Q, click, drag mouse, release click, release Q you end up with a selection box that might deselect your hero.

Woaw thanks for all your answers.
Seems not complicated, will try tonight.

no, I sometimes stay in fog, have the point whereto I'm gonna dash selected and just move the mouse for a while to find the perfect moment and angle to hit.
Try it in test mode!

Yes, you have all the time you want to confirm the cast. You can rotate the green rectangle for as long as you want, by just moving your cursor around (left click still pressed).

Then either confirm by releasing left click, or cancel by right clicking instead.

Depending on the chosen options of course. He is the first hero for whom I actually started using quick cast. Still experimenting though.

One thing is still not clear for me: how to use W in ultimate to make these all happen:
1. deal ulti collision damage
2. stun
3. deal W damage

I suppose you refer to ending his ultimate with a crash + swash ?

I don't use it but according to what I've seen, it's just a matter of... doing exactly that. So you ult, you jump, and while you are still mid-air from said jump, you quickly use swash.

You should land at that spot, dealing ultimate bounce + ball crash + swashbuckle dmg and effects. And end your ult.

Just try to hit W on enemy on your roll path, you will do all those.

That ult crash swash combo does not do ult dmg or stun, only ball crash and swash damage.

Damn, I cannot find the video for the life of me, but I think you're right.

I think the trick was about crash cd, not ult dmg.
