Riki's ult + any spells

Just played a game as S.Mage with Hook, Thunder Clap, Static Remnant, and Permanent Invisibility. A lot of fun, but pretty dumb too.
Easy doesnt fit into grownup life.

Could you sacrifice Eidolons over and over with rearm for infinite experience?
or something

how does DK ult work in AD?
i just played and a slardar took it, but he delt no dmg when he was in ult-from. he basically just placed snot-baals in the air which didnt move at all.
but right now on wagas stream there is a naix who can use DK-ult and gets ranged attack and dmg.
Ooooh, look at it go

DK ult is weird, it sometimes works, sometimes it bugs out like that. It depends on the hero and I don't think there's any logic to it.

Sadly you can't sacrifice summoned creatures. But you could sacrifice your creep waves pretty quickly.

That sounds like the ultimate cheese build, rearm sacrifice and teleport to sacrifice all your waves denying the enemy any xp or gold from lanes.

WR: Untouchable, Spell Shield, Empower (could've done better here), and Impetus

The random ET I laned with top let me farm and I ended up going 22-0-28. I don't have much experience in this, but picking multiple passives (maybe defensive passives in particular) seems to work well. Impetus seems super strong.

I jsut played my first ability draft game after a month break of dota,

For some reason every hotkey was fucked, poisin sting was R, sonic wave was C... How do I fix? I use legacy... I unticked/ticked legacy box and doesn't fix it.

Will this always happen if my keys clash? I think because I had corrosive skin which is meant to be C, it just fucked every skill. Not to mention my timberchain was E, what a fucking nightmare.

edit: 2nd game, even without key clashes, hotkeys are retarded....whyyyy

Yeah legacy doesn't really work in ability draft. You will have to switch to static keys like qwer.

Your hotkeys on legacy will be the legacy hotkeys of the hero model you have. I'm guessing you were playing axe? Call (E), Hunger (R), Culling (C)? There's no way to fix this other than going to the QWER setup. It annoys me too =p

I was OD lol... R for orb (that was sting, true)

So annoying, I purposefully pick skills that don't stack hotkeys, but still fails. Pls be more accommodating to the veterans

Then it would be an advantage to use legacy keys over QWER though. Although the best solution would be to do what you said, and have the original skills to prioritize mapping to the correct QWER key as well.

The amount of times I've had my hero just walk into 5 heroes (followed by "is this guy retarded?") because I was trying to press E for rocket flare on clock and instead it was on W... (because I picked it 2nd instead of 3rd)

When its on a different hero its not so bad, its just when its the original skill on the hero.

Logged in for the first time in ages to post this..

I don't know if it's just at my mmr or whether this is widespread but I am starting to get frustrated at this mode (which I enjoy greatly).

My question is, are somewhat standard games/strategies actually completely void in this mode? Or is this just the mundane thinking of some players who see gank oriented drafts and just want to run around killing people/fighting with their fancy new custom made hero?

The reason I am asking is because I have had several games recently where I have drafted late game/farm oriented spells (e.g greevil's greed, or a viable jungle build), only to have my team abuse me, tell me farming/jungling is useless in this mode and if I want to farm I should go play all pick, report me and tell the other team how useless I am (even if we won/I end up carrying).

It seems like almost everyone I see in this mode is only interested in disables, nukes, escapes and attack modifiers (which lets face it, are all fun/highly valuable spells in their own right.. But there are perfectly viable builds outside of drafting a 2 stun, 1 escape 1 nuke hero).

Just to throw an example out there - one of my favourite games in this mode was where I ended up with Lina (march of the machines, sadist, inner vitality and rearm). Went mid until travels and soul ring then basically had unlimited rearms/march of the machines due to soul ring/sadist and inner vitality without even having to return to the fountain via teleport/rearm..

tl;dr is nobody else interested in the viability of strategies/concepts in this mode outside of bash and crash teamwipes until someone wins?

The attack range on Dragon Form is larger on Lina than DK himself? I didn't know

I think it is because it effectively gives Dragon Knight ~500 -600 range (from melee to range) so it gives Lina 500-600 range too

except Lina already has ~650 range.
