Any full-out woods builds?
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.
I had reactive armor + counter helix on earth shaker (also had dragontail and borrowed time but they werent really relevant for jungle part obviously) I had VERY efficient jungle, finished treads mek before 9 minutes and just got my team to push with me, tanking everything ezpz. Was very fun had vanguard in few minutes after that, then went shivas into heart. Ult was complete waste but its all that was left.

I got qop blink and scream to go with earthshaker ulti and passive on lion, and went like 18-4 with a ton of assists. That was a really good combo.

Jihada + Enchant Totem + Drow Aura + Drow Ult, on the enemy team Vengeful was pretty dirty.
Came out just one-hit critting for 1500 at lvl 11, somehow we won though, felt great:D Popping blademail vs her was funny.
Oh and I blindly stole Rosh with Pugna using fissue, like a bawss. Only in AD, and ya i was just checking rosh
|
Life Break + Fury Swipes + Berserker's Blood is pretty sick.
|
I was phantom assasin with Slarks leap, Voodoo restoration, web and slarks ulti.
I had such high HP regen. It wasn't a great build but we won. being on webs counted as being unseen and activated slarks ulti.

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. Its true, 8/10 players are pretty fucking stupid and can't figure out how to draft sweet-ass heroes. 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.
My main problem seems to be that its always someone on the other team that builds Megatron while the randoms on my team (haven't played it in a full stack yet) almost always end up with useless combinations which don't make any sense and take up otherwise strong ultimates. While I'm stuck with a decent hero (not quite overpowered or at least not as strong as Megatron) and do decently until the laning stage ends when Megatron proceeds to destroy our whole team and by the time the team has realised that we need to focus him down we are already so far behind that it doesn't matter.
Maybe I have just had bad luck or something, I think I'm about 2 wins for 8 losses so far in ability draft.
Edit: I do agree that it's a game mode that should be good for some laughs, but it's kind of discouraging getting crushed so many games in a row.

I'm noticing how big a deal it is to have dip abilities that work with only one point. If all three of your non-ultimate abilities need to be maxed to be effective, you don't really come into your power until levels 12-14.
|
Oh man I just remembered the Earthshaker who had Untouchable and Berserker's Blood. It was the funniest but most frustrating shit ever. COULDN'T DO DAMAGE TO HIM.
|
The only gripe I have with this game mode is that people want to fight waaaay too much.
It seems like once the laning phase is over, our opponents just 5 man push the mid towers for the rest of the game. There's just no time to ever farm up / I get pinged at and insulted constantly cuz I don't sit at the tower for minutes in case something happens.
Otherwise this is a ton of fun. I can't see myself playing this alone tho. If you're with 2 or more friends, the likelyhood of you getting really strong combinations is so much higher.

4 days ago i was trying out this mode for the first time. Mainly getting crushed in my games all day. So i decided to talk it up with some teamspeak mates.. and visit tl.net for some insight ^^
Yesterday i played like 7-8 gamez or so. In 1 of those gamez I got tinker in 7th position i think. I was sure im not getting rearm... but hey. Too much good heroes were available. So i took rearm as my first choice. They also allowed me to get the following spells: Overwhelming odds, Press the attack, Curse of the silent.
I was teleporting in, hammered the arrows into the enemies, cursed them fools, healed everyone on my team that needed it. And ported out. It. Was. Fun.
One game erlier i had bane. Gave him the combo sticky napalm and overload. Nice laning i tell you ^^ But that was not all. They let me have rocket flare and ice blast, too. When i wasnt wrecking the lane, i was kill securing(xD) everwhere else. Glorious killing - much fun.
Last game i had dragon knight. I thought to myself, lets gank! xD Got: Ice shards, Flak cannon, Sadist and Elder Dragon Form. I didnt build BKB, cause than it would have been too easy. But the combo Flak Cannon + Ulti was so much dmg....
Ability draft really motivates me to play more dota2. Even though, 9/10 gamez are either "we wreck the enemie team" or the opposite, while 1 game is close and takes at least 45+ minutes.

Just mute them, ability draft is for fun, you don't have to follow their orders. The reason people do that though, is not surprising, they want to test their ability combos. If they wanted to farm items they would be playing normal dota. I'm sort of the same, I play WAY more aggressive in ability draft, picking nice stun combos and so on. Doesn't mean I'm being an ass to people who want to farm though, so the guys are just being pricks, mute em.

Oh I mute people really quickly, too bad you can't mute pings but meh I can ignore that.
I just wish people would pick their fights more intelligently in AD sometimes. I love to go for crit- and/or aoe-heavy passives, a combination that needs +attack speed and a basher since I don't have any stuns. So with a build like that I need a couple of items. At the same time, I don't want to just farm up while seeing my teammates lose in 4v5 scenarios so I often end up not farming and being too late for the fights T_T
|
That's kind of the point with AD though. There's a natural bent towards early aggression, because that's the obvious result of allowing people to choose their skills.
Every hero gets - in theory - even better at what it's supposed to do. For the gankers, teamfighters and pushers, this generally means that they come online sooner and harder and are more difficult to deal with. As a result, everyone is incredibly efficient at killing things and the game moves much faster.
Comparatively, for a multi-passive carry, your 6-slot becomes unreal... but that doesn't help at 15 minutes when the other team's OP wombo combo is in full effect. 4-protect-1 is tough enough in normal dota right now.

Try Sacred Arrow on Brewmaster
His model is slightly skewed to the left of where he walks, meaning the Arrow shot gets skewed. Having to shoot the right amount to the left of where the hero you want to hit is, gives skillshotting an entire new meaning.
|
Just a note: if you play nighstalker and you get aghs, you still get the aoe vision around him even without his normal ult.

is THD's duel breath bugged? seems on synderens stream, the first 'breath' doesn't do damage, whereas the second breath does (from memory, theres 2 higher blasts of dmg then damge over time)
he's zeus, dno if that has any significance,
doesn't look likes synderens picked up on it either.
