the last update was so terrible simply because you couldn't switch rooms in game anymore... whenever we pubbed i would just host in na2 and use gold member to switch to usa1 or something but now you have to have everyone in the same room. i think the switch rooms thingy fucked up the ladder pretty hardcore though because all the people in na2 wouldn't get any ladder points or anything, lol.

Well, for starters, AA is fragile. He needs some kind of defense mechanism from items whether it be movespeed, blink, disable, whatever. AA needs/prefers (?) fast lvling for his spammable ults and shitty stats. So you have 2 options if you wanna lvl AA: farm creeps or gank heroes, and neither option seems good for him. Right now, his role is unclear to me. He's good at.... nothing? except finishing off heroes with a dodgeable ult.

As for slark, I don't know which part you're saying is a built-in BKB but he too has low enough HP to make up for his other imba features. I'm not sure if they fixed it yet but when slark first came out and I tried BKB on him, the 'C' skill turned it off and I was so pissed (random comment). Slark falls to burst dmg lineups I think. In the right circumstances, he can be imba but in a match against the lineup I described, I have a hard time picturing how slark's going to slip in and do his thing.

Nitrogen: lol, that game's such a mess

AA is fragile, but there are a lot of other heroes that are fragile so I don't think this is a weakness in the big picture. I think like you say, he doesn't excel at anything so he depends on his lane partner/team too much. His ult is dodgeable, but it gets bigger and it goes pretty fast and once it hits there's absolutely no way to get rid of it or heal it off. I have some trouble dodging it even against pubbers so maybe this means I just suck...I just imagine in the hands of a good player it is ridiculous. Think invoker solar strike, or potm arrow which has the effects of aoe culling blade.

Slark built-in bkb I'm referring to the skill that gets rid of all negative effects. Granted its not a bkb, but timing it is pretty easy and you can jump into the fight not worrying about what disables are thrown on you since it removes all debuffs. I think the best thing about slark is that you don't have to go back to spawn, therefore any time you aren't farming [ down time ] you are able to scout/gank with runes/and find wards etc. There's no other hero in the game except maybe a levelled alchemist that you can do that with. Invis is always annoying but the max movespeed and insane regen is what makes him ridiculous to me. With a vanguard or str treads you easily catch up to the hp that most str melee's have. The other reason I think he's close to broken is because the gamestyle right now has lots of skirmishes where heroes get away with very low hp. If slark gets away with low hp, he can literally wait 5-8 seconds and he'll be ready to go right back in to farm a lane [ even if its far away ] with his 522 ms or just go back in and ensnare and grab low hp heroes.

I'm just trying to say that with his 522 ms and regen, his area of farm is much greater than other heroes. This translates into faster items like vanguard or linkens which makes up for his low hp. High level players have not really messed with him too much. I think in the hands of a great farmer he would quickly be an instant ban. Think about it, if you see enemy heroes on the minimap, you are free to go check the rune. They will never ever beat you to it. You can also take alternate routes and regen while you are running to catch a low hp hero after a team fight. His stat steal is pretty much ridiculous and as much as I don't like quelling blade, its very hard to out-last hit when you have him and a babysitter.

It's almost worth mentioning that his ult is a ward detector lol

hi I just started playing last week and people tell me to use the skeleton king cuz it's hard to die with it but I think it's an ugly hero and pretty useless, what's another cooler hero that I can use? If by hard to use meaning having to do a lot of actions that's fine cuz sc players can all probably cast two spells at once I hope. I just want someone that looks cool and has awesome spells.
