[DotA] Replays~!! - Page 66

soooooooooooooo i'd have to say comparingly to admiral, windrunner is much more balanced. i think she can be tweaked some more but overral she's no where near as overpowered as admiral is right now. my opinion is she's like a sent version of clinkz, granted different skills but sort of the same concept; doing high burst damage after getting items. her ult is completely useless without any items to compliment it, because it reduces her damage too much, even level 3 ult.

she has good escape skills and support skills, so i don't really think she's capable of being a full carry, just a semi-carry. if she was agility based i think she could be a good carry but she'd probably be a bit too strong :x

so far item wise i'm thinking deso and buriza are two strong items on her to compliment her ultimate, factoring in -armor to make up for reduced damage and a quick ten shots which should proc crit at least once or twice makes for nice damage. i tried mjolnir somewhat and it seemed to work ok but she does more damage with deso, the +damage from mjolnir doesn't make up for the reduced damage, and the proc rate isn't like crit, you can crit once or twice and that would be a good amount of damage, you need more procs with lightning effect otherwise her ultimate is useless. with more items though it would be a good addition, but if you want an orb deso seems much better.

int items work ok, orchid especially because of soulburn or whatever it's called, i think sheep would help too so she can dish out damage without being interrupted. that's basically all i've tried so far. she has okay lane control, and good lasthitting like drow but against any sort of nuker or stun combo she has to be played really defensively because her lack of hp really works against her, and unless you lane with someone that has arcane ring you can't spam your arrow all that often, and if you miss it it's a waste of mana.

speaking of mana, her mana pool is okay for the most part but if you get into a fight you're going to run out quickly, especially if you use her ult. the one thing that discouraged me from using her ulti often is it takes so much of her mana pool and since all of her spells are situationally useful it can be a bad decision to use her ult, then end up running out of mana and not being able to get away, or get a last second popshot off with your arrow. if she was agility based she'd be in a constant state of no mana though, so being int based for once actually helps.

overral a good support/semi-carry hero, i don't think there is too much that needs to be changed on her. her arrow nuke isn't too powerful, and actually hard to hit because it has a pretty straight forward hit range. it's a little useless in later levels but again if a hero is running you can popshot them without having to go very far. her shackle spell is a useful ministun and if the situation is right a good stun too, though i'm not really sure how well the skill is written because sometimes it seems like it randomly will latch onto a tree or enemy but othertimes in a similar situation it won't. her windrunner ability is good, and if it was anything over five seconds i'd probably say it needs to be nerfed, but currently it seems okay. and her ulti is item dependant so..somewhat useless early game.

anyway done writing about a dota hero(loool). this is what BOREDOM DOES TO ME, I TYPE A FUCKING ESSAY ON A DOTA HERO. DAMN YOU TESTIE THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
