Much, much too srs.

If you want tho you can do an ability-tier type thing.

Tier 1: REALLY FUCKING BUSTED
tidebringer
rearm (needs a combo skill tho usually).
shukuchi
Tier 2: Always busted
every mobility skill (blink, leap, global tp, pounce, most invis, etc)
Tier 3: Busted situationally
castable orbs on melee heroes, walrus punch, enchant totem, busted melee passives on ranged heroes (jinada/mana burn etc), most busted ults
Tier 4: Filler but good
most stuns
Tier 5: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT
The rest.


I'm not thinking in terms of tiers, just because so much depends on combinations. I'm thinking more in terms of how to build towards accomplishing specific goals, how to itemize with particular skills, ways to get the most out of particular heroes and some common trap/mistakes. (And since March and Missiles will always be in the pool with Ream, Rearm has stuff to combo with.)

That's neat. Get Nightstalker, pick an ult with a good Agh's upgrade. Profit

My friend once drafted NS ult and other team drafted the passive. Most useless ult ever . Has anyone ever drafted something like Shadow walk + Shukuchi + Skeleton walk + Permanent invisibility? Rushing shadowblade mandatory

My build was amazing. Played POTM with Take Aim, spirit lance, leap, Impetus.

Had absurd range with agh scepter (like 1.2k?) and spirit lance gave me vision of the enemies + en escape. Really stupid and fun build.

Well thats 4 really good skills that also have synergy so... hax. I've always wanted to try take aim + imp but neither ability lasts long in my drafts

People don't realize how good lance is cuz its stuck on PL most of the time (who btw is one of the better bases for Ability Draft IMO).

Agreed on all three points. Take Aim and Imp usually go in the first or early second round in my games.

I managed to get Juxtapose, Phantom Edge, Moon Glaives and Untouchable on Axe.

It was pretty good, but I was sad to find out PL illusions don't get moon glaives.

i liked my skyrwath with..

svenstun-visagenuke-skywrathnuke(the scaling one) and wall of replica (well, there wasn't any dmg left).


sry for the names... But the first 15 mins of the game were hilarious... "nukenukenuke":.. To bad my stun was also the only stun on my entire team and everyone else decided to go for "antimage whiteout blink"-skills -.-

On the flipside, the aghs scepter upgrade doesn't work with the ult on other heroes.

I love just drafting as many disables as possible so you can chain stun people ridiculously just on your own.

had some epically fun games with this mode...

hookshot + thunerclap
snowball + slithereen crush
shukuchi + mana shield + poison sting (then just building linkens)
skeleton walk + nukes/stuns (calldown, frost nova).

also had a fun one with a bane with storm hammer, frost nova, shackles and death ward.

EDIT: and one with tiny with great cleave, untouchable, grow and a 4th i can't remember. Just the ridiculous base damage after lvl 3 grow with the cleave was hilarious.

Vacuum + boat is a fun combo to play.

And I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like Enchant totem + Geminate attack applies the totem to both autos of geminate?

I've found the best thing to do is focus on grabbing 2 abilities with synergy and working from there. Sometimes you get lucky and can grab more, but trying to make the most busted combo you can out of 2 abilities generally works best.

Also, never underestimate fiery soul. Most broken ability in this mode.
