http://www.playdota.com/forums/blogs/icefrog/ I'm really excited about the new drafting mode.  1- Captains Mode: There is a new ban and pick system for CM in 6.68. Instead of 4 bans and then 5 picks, now it is 3 bans and then 3 picks followed by 2 bans and 2 picks. Information about the exact drafting order will be detailed in the changelog. | ||

Never mind split image or bkb, a fucking tp rapes him so hard. SkelKing is fine imo, his stun is short and effective; I think its because his item progression isn't that good and the AGIs and Ints have better effective ceilings as a result. Armlet is trashy for it's tier, like there's nothing to build on that Armlet efficiently (like a Manta equivalent or a Guinsoo). TC needs to be played as a semi-carry, think too many people still remember his bullshit version and try to play him as much, but to me he's a melee STR version of SF and needs to be played/picked as much. I thought caster TC was carry TC I mean if you can farm up an arcane/shiva/guinsoo + refresh you win pretty much every teamfight | ||

He could farm those pretty damn fast too thanks to the aura and spirit. | ||

I personally suck with him but he was like the first version of Alch except he would dominate heroes, creeps, and team fights along with tons of farm with that stupid HP pool. | ||

I'm curious to see what IceFrog plans to do about the melee heroes. I mean chinese dota has reached such a level that picking any kind of melee that isn't semi-op (ds, alch, bm, kunkka) or earthshaker/sven will cause you to lose lanes and ultimately the game. IEM will be interesting, I expect to see Sylla reinvented | ||

Damn fun with the aura and getting +300 damage. I need to experiment more with himOn July 23 2010 17:14 Dead9 wrote: I thought caster TC was carry TC I mean if you can farm up an arcane/shiva/guinsoo + refresh you win pretty much every teamfight caster TC is bad TC, getting arcane is about as useful as getting arcane on ES (near useless and a good indicator of a noob/stupid build), and shivas does nearly nothing. the only item he really benefits from there is guinsoo but its not a good item overall, like judicator said he should be played semi carry to abuse his movespeed damage ability and long semi-stun | ||

I think his biggest weakness is the fact that his slam takes time to do making him very reliant on the team and possibly a bigger strain than thought also i dont remember if the aura is really small? | ||

The reason I say he'll work well is because that aura reduces base armor and armor gained from +AGI. He won't be a initiator for sure but a pretty nasty follow up. Like pair him with a skilled Invoker; wouldn't so bad mid game, late game his aura only gets better against the popular items, Manta, Skadi, Linkens and Icewall can cover BKB any day. Throw in your Deso for some minus armor against Curiass (or make a Curiass yourself), it's pretty nice damage. | ||

TC can work with just his aura and relying on his team to help so since it works with spells too. The reason I say he's like a melee SF is because mid-late game SF provides direct damage and uses Requiem/Blink/BKB to pick off a support instantly/quickly, the same goes for the TC except his aura scales better than anything SF has to offer. | ||
