get any long range hero
then get
Psi Blades(lanaya) + Overpower(ursa) + Take Aim(Sniper) + Impetus(enchantress)

just get levels and wards then kill your enemies from afar.

pretty sure you can only get one ulti.

but rearm + rocket flare would be pretty gg lol

I need to try rearm+rocket flare. Sounds like you can play the entire game from the fountain.

holy shit never thought of this .. with level 16 rearm it is assured that all your will receive damage non-stop if you press fast enough .. you could also add beast master summons(since the change allows you to not resummon units)

You will get abandoned if you just sit in fountain* and spam, someone was complaining about it on reddit earlier.

*Unless you're level 25 I guess.

The 5-second thing messed me up in my first game last night. I ended up first pick and it randomed my first ability because I didn't realise how short a time I had.


Fortunately it ended up working out. I had Clinkz with Slithereen Crush, Windrun, Mana Burn and Focus Fire. And I was dual-laning with a Lina who had Wraithfire Blast, Spiked Carapace, Doppelwalk and Reincarnation; it was surprisingly effective, no idea how but it was.

Incidentally ranged Vendetta is hillarious.

Well I really like this mode. My only downside so far is that I've been either 1st, 9th or 10th drafter (being matched with stacks) in all my games, meaning I have to draft twice in a row very fast every game. And of course, all abilties I've eyed have been taken just before me. Anyway, will keep on playing it for now.

My first game I got Ursa and didn't understand I only had 5 seconds to pick abilities, ended up going mid with furi's tp, dazzles heal, od's aura and venge ult. That was versus an od with ursa's passive, game was not fun

You need an ulti in there, I tried an all-normal-ability draft and it doesn't work.
That is not dead which can eternal lie...

That's not what I meant by tryhard. More like telling teammates what to do, complaining on global chat and getting all serious when its the most un-serious mode in the game.

Its been really fun, but every now and then there's always a couple of guys that take it a little too seriously. Like why aren't they playing ranked?

Or you could *GASP* turn on smart casting... gosh I can never get used to smart casting... but this might be the first time I'd think using it~

EDIT: I realize I sound kinda rude... No offense intended... I guess not sleeping through the night has made me a bit more bitter in all my comments~ also I just hate smart casting

...I just realised something.

If you take Nature's Guise and Witch Doctor ultimate you can do the "Invisible rave party" trick from level 6 rather than having to build up a Lothars. Couple that with an Aghs rush and you've got a very potent, quick to get, teamfight weapon.

Bonus points for taking Fatal Bonds as well and using it beforehand.

Which flare?

Rocket flare one already been mentioned but surely you get a disconnect from being in the fountain? (Only way to keep enough mana for it over and over is to just sit in the fountain.)

Mystic Flare you can't have two ultimates.

gotta say. had some of the most fun games i've had playing abilities draft. carry disruptor with shallow grave, germinate, juxtapose and alchemist rage. had manta, skadi, 2 bashers and bots in 30 minutes. i usually don't post boasting posts but these games were insanely fun. had a naga with shukuchi, time lapse, flesh heap and rot lol.

Rocket Flare from Clock...I had a good early game and got lv2 rearm.

I got Lina with her Light strike array? (stun), Rocket Flare, March of the machine and rearm.

Got BoT, TP'd left and right and if they ever push I just TP back to fountain and spam flares at towers. Only downfall to this strat was we snowball'd with an insane Tusk build (Abaddon shield, Omni Heal, Huskar's ulti..can't remember last skill) so they were unable to push any T1s


edit: waiting to get a range hero and do some magic
