I think this might actually be a goood choice, if it was bad enough to be disallowed on Pudge and VS

Reminder that Batrider could not exploit his skill and blink dagger to put allied heroes on cliffs.

Not really seeing how it's that much different

it wasn't removed from pudge/venge because it was "too good". It was removed because it was abusable as described above

Link to that post?

Draft was absolutely awful from DK, they lost everylane, didnt take the chance to ban pl or furion, well at this point point I was even expecting a smart counter from DK something alike "the play", but actually no :-/

Suddenly underpowered hero imo.



Hero is grossly overpowered with blink dagger, undeniable.

Then nerf him, don't break him.



Design wise impossible. Lasso and Blink dagger synergy is too strong.

napalm nerf, reduced fly speed when lassoing, etc

many possibilities


How does that affect blink lasso force staff combo

Revert the turn rate buff he got. Then when he blinks and lassos, he takes longer to turn back around, meaning there's a wider window for counter-initiation.

At this point, I don't even know why Pudge and VS aren't allowed to get that item...

So they don't blink up cliffs then swap / hook enemy heroes up there and blink down

I know why, Rubick, DS and Bat can do that even without blink, so what is the point?


Pudge/VS can do it with their teammates.

The initation range would be too insane on VS I guess, for pudge I really don't know, he really does not seem that strong.

Something about Alliance that just pisses me off. Its probably Loda. I can't help but hate that mans guts and his douchebag hats. I hate seeing alliance win these days. makes me annoyed more than i really should be.

Yeah. Everyone who wears a hat is such a fucking douchebag. God i hate hats.


he ALWAYS wears them, even indoors. Who the hell wears a hat like that indoors. never mind the fact of how he wears them. it serves no purpose but to look awful.


Yeah he looks kinda eurotrash but I mean, I just dont want alliance to win anymore. Its like BW Flash, its just boring atm

He wears the hat because he's going bald before he's 30 and is trying to hide it.

It's pretty interesting to see the staff installing and removing the players' gear. In SC2 that wouldnt be accepted by half the pros I feel.

What did dk ban? I can't believe they gave s4 bat again

Wisp and Lone Druid, like they have to.

No they don't have to -.- Batrider is far more important.

Chinese teams absolutely suck against Wisp, and giving Bulldog LD is much, much, much worse than giving S4 the Batrider.

Instant Bite into 100% hook seems quite scary tbh.

Not banning Batrider when Alliance has first pick...


Damned if you do, damned if you don't against alliance.

What else are the meant to do, give Alliance wisp or lone druid?

Lone Druid indeed.

Which people do not recommend Alliance's game out of pure hate? This was an exquisite game from them, just like the ones vs LGD...

You fucktards are causing people to miss some amazing teamplay because of your ridiculous bias, give credit where credit is due.

Cancer lancer + batrider vs a first pick spectre. Yeah... what a close game that was.

Why the fuck would u draft like that with so much on the line? Giving bat rider and spectre first pick are very dumb decisions. U could at least pick alchemist/chen 1st and Spec after 2nd round of bans (so u can ban siren), it's not like alliance would ban spectre.

How the fuck are we supposed to find the post when the design decision was made when the now-dead dota-allstars.com was still around?

Is it that hard for people to trust people who've been playing the game that long?

Sooner or later teams are going to need to let Bulldog get LDruid rather then just letting him get NP every game. LD may win a lane but NP wins games.


His NP got Roflstomped in game 2..This game was all about Batrider
