Not particularly an easy feat. I'm wondering if things might have been different if TongFu attacked when they saw a failed fountain hook. 5v4 is pretty good odds no, with no risk any further fountain hooks for the next minute or so. Okay, people are really overselling the "coordination" of the fountain hook. You understand they can talk to each other, right? You understand Chen's send back isn't something he does in response to a hook? It doesn't require multi-person timing. Dendi says "send me back", Puppey doesn't just cast it when he feels an opportunity with his star sense. | ||

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 doesn't end up at home base. chen casts a spell and pudge has a small window to hook someone. after the window, he gets sent back with or without th ehooked opponent. if you hook someone and you finish the hook before the teleport, then the other champ doesn't get teleported either. | ||

Chen casts the spell on an allied hero and after a delay (something like 4 seconds I think?) that hero is teleported back. Chen stays where he is. So it requires some pretty technical timing (remember how many times pros actually messed it up that game). | ||

That's exactly was Tongfu was doing; they were winning every fight because Dendi kept missing hooks. The second Dendi started hitting hooks though the game swung immediately into Navi's favor because they instagibbed a Doom, Gyro twice (once with Aegis), and their supports a few times. | ||

The hook if latched needs to complete so the latched hero follows the Pudge back to base. Chen does not go back to base, its one of his skills to send a teammate or ally unit home. | ||

Doesn't matter if it worked, all that matters is that navi tried it in the first place. Every other team in the long history of dota would be too scared to pull this off in such a game. Not like any other team would pick PAJ in TI semis to begin with lmao. | ||

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. it was called fungal growth, except you didn't have to time it, it wasn't creative and it was just one ability. | ||

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. OH NO PEOPLE ARE PLAYING TO WIN IN A 1.4 MILLION DOLLAR FIRST PRIZE TOURNAMENT A BLOO BLOO BLOO :| | ||

As Draskyl pointed out Pudge can just tp back. And the force staff + hook range means chen is about 1500++ range from Tongfu. So i think the risk is exagerrated. It still takes coordination to execute though so props to them for that. Just feels like the old CK where he had that ridiculous crit My feelings is just like Maelk's. The feeling is that Icefrog left it in for novelty because it's funny ( just like chaos mode). But once it starts affecting competitive dota then maybe icefrog will take a second look at it. But as a competitor, do whatever you can to win. More importantly : Anuxi sets best sets. | ||
