Yes it is high risk, but with extreme reward. U dont hit, u try again. U hit, u win the game. The 1st few hooks, I was impressed and excited. But after that, its too much of an abuse that its just not entertaining anymore. | ||

They literally tried it 30 times, has nothing to do with skill just luck. It was low risk in this game, if doom was a real initator it was really high risk. They abused a flaw in tong fu draft, not a game flaw. | ||

They will not be any more popular than they were before that game. | ||

They were forcestaffing pudge in. Pudge is automatically safe, and the rest of Navi was already falling back preemptively. Even if TF had wanted to engage after a hook (no evidence that they did) there's no way they can catch up to Navi without over extending and making themselves vulnerable. Navi won by stalling for the Alch to get big, but while fun in a vacuum it should be pretty clear that the total absence of counter play makes it abusive. It's pretty reasonable to question the mechanic when it let Navi instantly eliminate an aegis Gyro. -Note that I don't blame Navi for using it given their situation, just that if I ran the world it would be changed in the future. | ||

I could maybe justify it if DOTA had no fog of war. | ||

It's such a low percentage, high risk and spectacular play, be entertained! Navi played smart and crazy, fan for life :D What are you talking about low percentage high risk? Dendi had over 50% percentage on it. | ||

Anyone disagree? i don't think anyone else has the balls there's a reason no one else does this when moneys on the line. we've seen teams try it in online shit. it's really, really hard and risky. i can empathise with the wisp/bat/treant complaints 10x easier than this bullshit lmao | ||

They were only doing it because they were super far behind. When playing that far behind, you have literally no risk in doing it, especially if you are on your side of the map and by a tower. The fact that Dendi hit Hao when he had an aegis was a monumental deal; that swung the momentum heavily into Navi's favor. | ||
