The title says it all,what is the dumbest builds you have tried on any hero.

mine was getting 4 euls and tranquils with techies so i could move around the map at 522 move speed and pretty much have unlimited mana after i picked up a random mystic staff.

The Stormy Storm Spirit build is pretty dumb. Build any item related to lightning (mjolnir and maelstrom, get both for double points) or storms (e.g. eul's - its like a tornado?) or otherwise is blue. Hilarity ensues.

I used to go radiance > skadi DP from time to time. The rest of the build was pretty normal, though.

I used to go MoM and 5 battlefurry on faceless void in troll games with my friends.

Big chronos with 4-5 stacked noobs were hilarious and our goal was really just to land this every time we could, hence the use of Magnus and Dark Seer as team mates!

Was even more funny when we sometimes failed (those failed RP!)
Another clue to my existence.

You're doing it wrongly. You should be ghost walking and killing them with radiance burn. If they tp, cancel it and ghost walk again.

Back in bnet pubs, kotl was my favorite carry given my inability to last hit, rush BoT, farm all over the map with illuminate, then skadi, hex, big damage items. I would get bfury on every melee hero : damage, cleave and regen, what can you ask more? Plus you could get that OP ring of health first with random gold! I was a bit torn on DK though as he's half melee/half range.

Ya killing someone with radiance with ghost walk is awesome feeling. Works especially well on someone like sniper with low HP pool and movement speed. Used to always do it in dota 1 when there was no MMR so you get match with extremely newby people.....ahh how time flies.

There is a lycan build that I've seen that's is random but it works.

Item build: refresher, manta style, 2 necro books, AC, vlads, rest whatever

You pop 2 sets of necro minions at the sametime (refresher lets you do this), with manta and wolves, you out damage back door regen and can take towers mega fast even with backdoor regen.

Just recently, I had a game where I built (Magic Stick, Mekansm, Buckler, Arcane Boots, Boots of Travel) on Beastmaster.

Buckler's armor bonus is really good for forcing towers, while I don't want to pop Mek until after the fight starts. And Boots of Travel on a hawk is great for map mobility, and with Arcane Boots on top of that I can pop in and deliver mana to a teammate in trouble.

I once went radiance on Naga Siren instead of a useful utility item like hex/eul's/orchid. It was surprisingly good, because I could farm a little bit quicker! But then I didn't have enough utility, even though I had a lot of gold and damage dealing items, we lost. Still a fun build if you want to get a decent bit of farm!

Made an account for this because you all needed to know.

Tornado Bear - Ursa

Core: Phase Boots, Euls, Yasha (morbid mask)
Followed by: Skull Basher, SnY, Vlads
Six slots: BoT, SnY, Abyssal, Euls, Vlads (HoT or Force Staff final items)

Great synergy with Pudge for those Euls hooks, plenty of move speed to run around cliffs in stead of blinking.

heh some of these are funny. My worst idea was probably soul ring/mask of madness on doom. I tried it a few games in a row, its pretty funny, you can run around nuking the crap out of people. Always mana/always full HP, easy to run people down when you doom them.

However right clicks make you implode really hard lool.

Right-click carry Lina:

Early game: Start in a farming role (either mid or safelane farm). Build Arcanes into Force Staff (every good carry needs an escape). Get a million kills.

Mid game: Flash farm with your nukes. Build toward Bloodstone, disassembling Arcanes to finish it. With Bloodstone, you have enough mana and mana regen to spam your skills all the time. Fiery Soul lasts 9 seconds, and every cast refreshes all stacks (it doesn't decay one stack at a time the way Warpath does). By staggering your casts, you can be at 3 stacks 100% of the time.

Late game: Build right-click, especially right-click that focuses on damage over attack speed. Daedelus, MKB, Skadi are good. Pick up a BKB if you need one.

It's = It is, where "It" probably refers to the "bloodstone + heart" build. "Its" refers to something belonging to "it", like "its legs". His grammar is fine.

There was once I was so sick of getting kited that I got a rod of atos for wk on top of abyssal blade. It wasn't really worth the item slot since I wasn't dealing enough damage later into the game.

There was once I was using a so called ''Thor'' strat with omniknight. The opposite team have no carry, neither do we, but I figured that our team needed one. ( was 5 stacking)

So I got Midas to help me get the levels and gold fast and easy.

Then get mom and stack 4mjonirs.

I was quite new that time and the latest Thor movie just come out so I figured why not have a little fun and we won that game about 1hour 15minutte in te game..

Ohh I was shouting.. FOR ASGARD all game

Now I think back, I could only face palm and my build

I once pondered radiance Juggernaut. Like, with Aghs, that's so much radiance damage while they can't touch you! And then you can go spell immune after for more burn, if you didn't do it before to clear the creeps before your omni!

GG right?

looking through the user "ahwstini" latest posts made me question humanity but this post basically tells me "if u want ur sanity to be safe, dont look any further"

now to be on topic, i believe a ranged hero such as mirana does not benefit that much from a bfury over lets say, drums+maelstrom

I used to go WK, get only the passive (who gives a shit about the stun) and rush divine (no boots). Aegis was a plus so I wouldn't drop that shit ever.

NVM just saw a QoP going Maelstrom. Shit was useless

for a while i did necro3 on clock to have an arena of death.
did not work that well because necrocreeps spawned anywhere but in the cogs.

edit: i just checked my matchhistory and i have a total of 1 necro 3 clock game. guess it was even more horrible than i remembered.

boots > midas > rapier TA
battlefury stack medusa
Aghanim's scepter x5 shadow fiend
Blink QoP. Someone did this in one of my games as a legitimate counter to sniper, or at least that was his opinion. We didn't win though.
As well as blink on every other hero that usually doesn't build it, such as weaver.
some might call it silly, but I get a maelstrom or used to after midas before it got nerfed on warlock, just to farm aghs refresher faster.
Abyssal > blink sniper. Very good against melee carries.
Oh yea and refresher atos kunkka. Possibly the best new-meta build I have ever done. If a pro team starts doing it I hope they give me credit!

1.
Vanguard Viper might actually be viable now that it builds into Crimson........

Vanguard -> Aghs -> Complete Crimson -> Standard agi carry stuff

2.
Armlet Storm Spirit? (This is Arteezy's idea)

Dagon on Lycan for the drive-by dagonning.

We've also had a bunch of invis heroes buy dagons before (i.e. Riki, Nyx, Bounty, Clinkz, Voker) and just walk around the map invis in small groups dagonning people.

Not exactly new or my own idea, but I could recommend full "Life Break build" on Huskar for some laughs. Agh, Veil, Eblade, BKB.

Yeah you need that BKB to not kill yourself in team fights if you wanna do something beyond the first ult use.

I got butterfly on windrunner the first three games I played her because I thought she was green so butterfly looked good. Also, I used to go plain buckler on all the carry heroes because I thought the +5 stats and +2 armor was OP. (I guess buckler is good now since it can turn into crimson guard)

bf on dk for the cleave when ult is on cd.

Also one day i got into a discussion with a friend (he is a c9 fan) about not going dagger on sniper on one game we where geting stomped ( i do think that is a good item for him in some games but not all, just like any other item in dota).
Since his argument was "saw it in a pro game", i decided to go for a dagon rush on a safe lane wk into dagger -> max dagon -> eb the next game because "hboct did it".
I started to go into fights just after geting the dagon and carried the game hard while some guy on the other team kept calling me noob all game long for going that build.

not sure if it was actually good item that time lol

i think it 5-6 years ago.. the only reason we built the mass vanguard cause we lost to one

A friend of mine once did this renaming his brood into "boot mother". And it was actually super legit. The phase boots to run through creeps, mana for harassing, attack speed, teleportation - guess you don't need much more as brood.

Same. In our country, kids in comp shops are very easily surprised with non-standard builds. Then again, 2 vanguard, 2 blademail magnus isn't really that bad against nightstalker + lycan back in WC3 DotA. (when Blademail didn't have an active yet)

Boots and courier first, then stacking 5 blades of alacrity, 5 ogre clubs, or 5 staves of wizardry, depending on primary attribute, finally getting boots of travel. Used to be my everything go to build.

Let me tell you guys about carry Omi Knight, who I played with and against in two games in a row. Carry Omi knight would last pick his hero, to make sure this amazing strat was not countered. Omi went solo ring into boots into Skadi. No other items. Just rush Skadi.

Needless to say, I lost the game with him and crush him the next game.

Still works. The problem is that the skill of using BF on these types of carries has been lost as Dota 2 has changed.

That works really well on dusa,and is decent on int mids/ right clockers like qop or furion. Thats actually not that bad.

Ultimate Orb Shadow Fiend is legit.

Linkens - Replacement for BKB

Manta - Solid stats, replacement for BKB

Hex - You have plenty of damage already, so a disable is great. No MKB needed as well, and it let you spam razes

Skadi - Solid stats, good orb effect, make you tanky as hell

Add a Satanic/Butterfly as the last item, and you're good

Like, just got radiance on bear, stayed in base, and let the bear just slowly whittle their health away with the radiance damage.

I don't think I've done anything horribly crazy on purpose that was totally out of left field. The closest I've come from what I recall:

- There are times where I've been forced to build Venge (S/Y, Butterfly, Deso, etc) or Lina hard carry (BKB, Deso, Euls, crits, etc) in the absence of a true hard carry.
- I think once I built AC on Venge when our captain failed to draft a strength hero.
- Getting Deso and AC on Gondar because our Legion Commander refused to get these items and neither was viable on any other hero.
- One time, I remember getting Radiance on a Bristleback since the rest of my team decided to go rat dota (Furion, Pugna, DP, Alch). That's probably the most weird thing I've done, but it seemed logical for the situation I was in.

I'd say my main problem as I try and get used to more carries/mids gradually is knowing what to get when, what to rush, in what situations. Live and learn through experience I guess.

I think Mjolnir as it stands is good on almost any right click hero. Especially tanky ones that can take advantage of the active

I mentioned this a long time ago in a similar thread but I think its worth bringing up again as its semi-legit (even if it sounds a bit weird): Euls Slark. Its not exactly "dumb", just very unusual.

The background is that the other team had OD and Nyx, hence I had basically no mana. Eul's made for a cheap mana regen + int item to try to deal with it. But more than that the increased movespeed made it even harder for enemies to run and, best of all, Eul's allowed for very easy pounces against juking enemies.

except that i didn't know back then that Mjolnir was good and i was a fucking scrub who builds MoM over any rightclick carry

Bloodstone rush on Techies. Even though you'll have not many charges because of your suicides, every time you suicide in a teamfight you'll AoE heal everyone on your team. Also, bloodstone lets you get experience even after you're dead, falling behind in experience being one of Techies biggest weaknesses. Because Suicide halves your death timer, compounded with the bloodstone you'll be back up in no time.

Charge into the fight, hurt the enemy team, heal your own, be back in time to push a tower with land mines when the fight is over.
