why are half the heroes never drafted? doom? TB? seems as tho its always the likes of viper, enchant, eartshaker, sven etc and maybe 25 others
|
I would like to see a tree with alchemist ulti, naix rage, blink, and some kind of bash, like slardar or headshot (dunno if headshot would work on melee though).

Played Tinker with Aphotic Shield, Poison Sting, Void and Bane Ult. YOU CANT RUN!

Heroes with skills that require more than four keys are excluded. I assume this is to stop people ending up with skillsets that need D and F twice.
I'm not sure why TB isn't in. Probably just because he's new.

Oh also a friend of mine made the classic ultimate pick mistake.
He first picked Luna ult and didn't have back to back picks. Of course the other team immediately took Lucent Beam away from him.

You're better off with viper or drow orb on Tree, it's brutal.

Ha, I was just gonna ask why you'd need Lucent Beam. I had no idea the ult was based on that skill. I learned so much about the game playing AD already.

Makes you wonder why he didn't just pick lucent beam to begin with. The only other option after that is that someone else takes a useless ultimate or you get the ultimate for free.

on any str hero, best on chaos knight (starting moving speed 325) pretty op since pubs could not handle much of invisibility
earth shaker's totem kunkka's tidebringer bounty hunter's jinada sven's strength of god
item build phase boot, yasha, blink dagger
other notable combos aftershock is crazy good with blink, and works good with no cd ult, i.e. chakram laguna blade, lightning bolt, sacrafice, decrepify for early game
|
Speaking of broken stuff, Mana Shield and Split Shot toggling is working with Fiery Soul and Essence Aura. Does it proc Aftershock and Static Field or was it patched?
|
^^ Dunno, but I do know it procs overcharge. Played a windrunner with mana shield + overcharge, it was impossible to lane against.
Also, one of the better combos I've seen : Tiny with Bladefury, Rot, and Razor ult. If he'd have somehow got sticky napalm too... D:

Ranged tidebringer is very close to the most busted thing possible in this game. Adding enchant totem is just outright unfair 
The only thing that denied me my 1-hit rampage was reincarnation 
Also I'm 1-0 Lifetime vs the Ran/DTB stack in this mode. Ez.

I'm getting over the what-if builds, unless they change ability draft back to how LoD was, it will never happen. You'd be lucky to get 2 of the skills you wanted.
Ability draft is trash currently, waiting on them to build on it.

Yeah its hard to get some of the more busted combos without others scooping up the abilities you want (and even just having them all in the pool tbh) but I did get Tidebringer + enchant totem (see above) once and it totally worked. Key is to be ranged though. Sure god's strength woulda been nice but Jinada doesn't even feel that relevant. Some other guy stole my jinada/walrus punch in the draft I mentioned and in the end I wasn't even mad.
BTW builds based around bash on ranged heroes actually suck in my experience. It feels really powerful until you realize that it only works if you are miles ahead in which case anything would have worked. Only attempt if you can secure windranger ulti (for the rosh permabash )
|
Bash on ranged heroes, maybe, but we had a game with a clinkz that managed to get fury swipes and LC heal (there was also overpower and strafe to choose from, so many +Attack speed spells!) and he just ripped through everyone. Ranged fury swipes is so ridiculously powerful.
|
Its funny how much better LC heal is when compared to shit like strafe lol.
Also clinkz is a terrible base model (Awful animation, stat gain, damage, everything except range) but obviously you can still make a good hero out of him.

It happens in normal games too sometimes when you get a Luna who gets aura+glaives then wonders why her ult isn't doing anything. But AD just takes it to a whole other level with potentially being unable to ever make it do anything.

I know. I don't think he realised that you need Lucent for it to work.
They really, really badly need to add in chat though. Its really hard to organise unless you're all on mics. :-\
As far as this Clinkz thing goes. Honestly I've always hated Clinkz's attack animation. Frankly I can last hit better on Lina than I can on Clinkz, even with her insane windup time.

Level 11 you auto crit over 1000 in a splash every 6 seconds. except you cant proc enchant totem ? are you thinking of aftershock or smth or is there some interaction with tide/jinada/enchant totem I'm not aware of

enchant totem gives you +400% dmg every 6 seconds get a blademail to counter...
