Every argument that 'this is hard' are ridiculous. It's not hard for the best players in the world since they do this every day all the time. Archon Toilet? The entire WoL PvZ lategame revolved around that. Also EMP + Nuke in BW | ||

It is extremely risky and should only be attempted if you are far behind + Show Spoiler + Or far enough ahead you can just mess around In the end, 2.8 million is at stake, this isn't just a pub match everyone have fun. lol hard to pull off. half of those were blind hooks. when blind fountain hooks connect it becoes a "incredible play" | ||

You're all about gimicky bs, "OPA DENDI OPA XD!!" like this hook or freaking Ursa and meepo ugh. What a ton of crap, that was a disgusting game and Na'Vi should be ashamed. But nope, everyone stood and screamed and clapped at such a shameful display, there was no skill, no team play just fucking luck. I hope Alliance destroys these people tomorrow, I look forward to it. | ||

Pudge uses a meat hook and then Chen teleports Pudge to their base, bringing the enemy all the way to the base? Chen ends up at the home base, too? Chen sends only the player he casts the spell on. So teleport on pudge, pudge hooks just before the TP happens, if hook lands it will drag the hooked hero with him to the fountain. | ||

People have known fountain hooks could do this for YEARS now. If it was overpowered as you state everyone would be doing it. Jesus, I don't go into professional tekken threads and start bashing player strategies because I don't know anything about the game or the scene. Why are you doing that here? | ||

Yeah sure it takes ALOT OF SKILL but what can the enemy do when the pudge can do it well? Low risk? If it does not work and your Pudge has no BoT you essentially give your opponents a big window to fight 5v4 for a time. It is a really strong combo, but extremely hard to execute, because without a setup the timing is really hard to get. For me it is not different to a vac into ice path combination, just harder and single target. | ||

Reading and hearing for 15 minutes how Navi got no chance at coming back and how fucking awful navi was delaying the loss. Suddenly all the space they created for Hvost showed in a 20K net worth alche choping everybody. LR thread made the game :D exactly TF left alche for a very long time .. and the BKB and speed hack of alchemist will just chop everyone | ||

I can guarantee though that if this becomes a common strategy theres gonna be lots of calls for fixing it. This is the typical kind of strategy that is fun the first and second time, not the 50th (SC2 achon toilets says hello. That was also awesome first few times). But thats the thing. Fountain-hooking has been possible for a long time and has NEVER been used to this effect. How can it be cheap or "low-risk" if noone has ever deployed that trick to this effect? Its like perfect immortal/warpprism micro vs roches, maybe wasnt intended from the developers but people figured it out and it is accepted because its a super-niche strategy that is fucking hard to pull off. | ||
