Overload + (insert spammable spell) + BristleBack ult is simply unfair. Actually scratch that, Overload and any random spammable spell is stupidly good on ranged heroes. I don't think it's as good when it's on mele heroes because you can't harass people in lane, though it still works. Aftershock + spammable slow like goo. Fuck this combo. Infinite stun, no mana cost. Enchant totem on a ranged hero. Level 5 will have you chunking people in lane for 20% of their health. Simply ridiculous. | ||

And then my team had generally useless spells so they couldn't exactly clean up =p | ||

I'm sure 8/10 players most games do the initial ability picks, and immediately wish they could go try a new game because they didn't get anything great. | ||

And as soon as they noticed what was going on they just ff'd me down every fight. I'd almost always get the person I stuck on, but the other 4 would just throw every nuke they had my way. Went a tank build and still couldn't survive T.T And then my team had generally useless spells so they couldn't exactly clean up =p It kinda weird how aftershock work because toggling Mana shield does proc Fiery Soul. Thus you would expect that aftershock give similar affect when toggling ability like lesh ulti but it doesnt :/. Same can be said about voodoo restoration which doesnt proc after shock as well. I am not sure if they also proc fiery soul. | ||

I mean, yeah the game isn't infinitely deep like real dota but its got enough replayability that its always good for a laugh IMO. | ||

look at this game. we got crushed hard by lich carry, but it was hilarious cuz we ALL knew (all pubs) as a team that this mode is meant for laughs and potential for greatness. not the other way around. everytime we'd get a kill we'd laugh our asses off at how bad we were. http://dotabuff.com/matches/497865559 | ||

Nature's Guise + Magic Missile + Thunder Strike was dreamy since both nukes do over the standard 300 damage and have pretty managable cooldowns. It's so much fun just nuking teams without revealing yourself then watching them all scramble around trying to figure out where you are. | ||

Nature's guise, tinker rockets, essence aura, rearm. guerrilla warefare at it's finest. Endless stream of rockets from the trees. | ||

But my tendency to overpick passives and build for lategame led to hilarious ursa with no active skill (well ult can be). Fury swipes + corrosive skin + curse of avernus + borrowed time. Turns out everything you touch dies gets permaslowed and dies pretty quicklick, you dont die yourself and roshan is pretty easy | ||

I've done a Drow with Enchant + webs + Drow Aura + Drow Ult... and it worked, but mostly because of webs rather than effective use of the woods. | ||

Well 40% of 1000 is 400 so yeah those are some big fuckin' bashes. You've also made me wonder how stacking bashes are programmed in Dota 2. You can't have them normally because bash heroes just can't purchase basher. The best you can do is get MKB (which I believe stacks fully with everything, including itself, meaning you can proc a minibash on the same attack as another bash, a Headshot, or another MKB minibash). Also I had a Bane with Chrono, Void bash, and Strafe in a game today. He bought Shadowblade and Mjollnir. It was fucking terrifying. | ||

He did have a really high proc chance, but he was still kind of useless because he gave up all his other skills to do it and had no mobility. I'd say it's not really worth it unless you can get a blink and an AS steroid as well. I would assume they stack the way any other proc stacks; both roll and if they proc at the same time the one with higher damage triggers. | ||
