Toos + rupture, after the combo was revealed you can see the confusion in the opponent after I ruptured one lulz, even better than hook + rupture haha | ||

Got richer than Bill Gates Prime. We got a DC and they actually got to our ancient fast because it was 4v5 (or 3v5 because my early game sucked). After that they went Full Rat Dot[A] to try to finish us off, but I was making so much bank that I had AC, Heart and 3 Rapiers and would wipe multiple waves of mega-creeps and their entire team in one shot. So convenient! Every single time we moved out, their team would race to our ancient. So I would stay back to guard the fort while my team mates would push towers down one by one. I would just enable flak cannon and one shot the megacreeps, and inevitably their team trying to backdoor would just die. After team wiping them for the 10th time in a row my other team mates had enough farm to kill T3s and the Ancient in one push. The 4v5 win would have felt really good if it wasn't for the cunt on our team that would global chat "noob team" while we were losing, and then gloated after the win. | ||

Burning Spear gives you a ranged attack, but only if you cast it manually. With normal right-clicks you're melee. Burning Spear doesn't trigger Fiery Soul, but Sticky Napalm does. I don't think Sticky Napalm and Burning Spear interact, but still stuff was dying very fast. What's interesting is that you don't need mana, but your stuff costs health. Obviously that's similar to how Huskar plays, but more interesting in my opinion since there's the melee-ranged duality, you have more clicking to do and you get supercharged by casting spells, not being low on health. | ||

Anyways still is a blast. Cool that Silencer keeps his int growth (it'd be fun to have flesh heap + duel on silencer and just go maximum snowball mode). | ||

In the normal game the two are balanced based on abilities (and then some), but when you're in Ability Draft it's night and day. Having 5 melee heroes vs 5 ranged heroes is just sad. Of course the mode is 0 balanced anyways, but it's supposed to be imbalanced from the abilities not the hero shells. Anyways still is a blast. Cool that Silencer keeps his int growth (it'd be fun to have flesh heap + duel on silencer and just go maximum snowball mode). Then you get an orb on a melee hero and you end up with a hero with a high damage, instant and invisible projectile. You can do some absurdly OP shit with a melee carry. | ||

Casting spells doesn't reveal the invisibility, so he just walked around all game nuking to his heart's content and dealing damage with his aura without ever being seen. That is literally amazing. | ||

Timewalk, Rot, Static Remnant, Viper strike. Worked pretty well, all low mana cost, insane slow and during mid game anyone I jumped on died in under 3 seconds. Besides Pudge timewalking and spamming remnants looked cool as fuck. Won that game 4v5. Someone who had Furi TP and ravage was also pretty funny although didn't work that game as well as it could've. | ||

Also Death pulse+anchor smash+sadist+invis Eul's Shivas Dagon. You will never have enough gems. PA still complains over my >New Meta lycan build. Looked like a KwarK smurf. | ||

Adding Bristleback(the passive) wasn't even that necessary. The worst combination I saw has to be Laser, March Of The Machines, Scream Of Pain and PL ult on Pudge. He was slow and could barely cast 3 spells because of his small manapool. | ||

Ya, I went to ability draft because I thought everyone there would be doing it for laughs, nope, same old whiny bitches just migrated over. Even if they are on the other team, they rat on some poor player on global chat and I tell them to "go play ranked". I can't believe these kinds of people even live on this planet. Ironically the most unserious game I played was on ranked, where we did a 4 man conga-line around the map and had really awkward bromance conversations over mic while alllied clock would spam his ult into us putting it on permanent cooldown. I then bought two rapiers and we won. | ||
