How many people who follow this thread play LoD (Legends of DotA) regularly?

Just got back from a small clan get together. Played the shit out of that all night.. I've actually played that map for a little over a year now but last night reminded me how much fun it can be. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's a hacked version of dota where you get to create your own hero by combining skills from different heroes in regular dota.

Each player gets roughly 10 heroes as his pool and you can pick 3 normal skills + 1 ult from any of those heroes. There are some combinations the game doesn't allow though. In my last game, I tried to take centaur's return damage passive + alchemist ult + morphling's str/agi moprh but the latter two cannot coexist on a single hero.

If all the players know what they're doing, you'll end up playing some epic games. When a hero that has teleport/fissure/LSA/doom is typical, there's going to be a lot of kills in the game

Share some funny skill combinations. I'm ashamed to say that I'm not creative but my personal favorites are:

kunkka's cleave + vendetta
shadowraze + stun + blink (just fun for getting >1 kills per minute)
teleport + any roaming skill

Look, you can't type that and then drop that line in the middle of it. It doesn't work like that.

Anyways, your (not you specifically) stories from HoN makes me more cynical about Dota 2.

I'd have thought the dota community would have that base covered

*More* cynical. Typical Engie.

If DotA2 solves these problems somehow, I would be very impressed.

we used to play it pretty often, the problem is the amount of dumb imba you can get in this game because you can pick whatever you want, omg was much better because drafting forced you to be creative since you didnt have the whole pool to choose from and random was fun too.

feast, mirror image, berserkers blood, tinys ult, ravage, are all high tier abilities, plus waveform on any long ranged hero. some already imba combos were banned like tidebringer and enchant totem. i dont know if they banned it but life break + maledict is pretty much instakill on a single hero without magic immune, then theres also focus fire + bash with something like shukichi

edit:
overpower impetus is gay too.
