Fave Dota hero

[morbidgolem]

Just here to mark the 300th post.

Also, Lich is annoying, he can own with so many items and I just can't decide on which to get between, Arghanim's Sceptre, Dagon, Lincoln's sphere, boots of travel... and in what order?
It's kinda like Skeleton King where he can own with many items like Ages of the Immortal, Refresher orb, Heart of Tarrasque, MoM, Divine Rapier...

wow this thread went drastically farther than i once thought.

My current fave is the sniper. Combo him with Guinsoo's and it is almost a gauranteed win for you.

Another annoying thing a Sniper can do is get 2 CBs. If he has enough range, he could just stun u for like 1 second periodically. This is bad when you have a melee hero and you are unable to get to him.

Oh God, any ranged Hero that can pretty much cut you down in seconds...Like bone clinkz, what a bastard in good hands...with SpiritBreaker, I managed to kill his ass once when he ambushed me and another guy, thank God for my Bash - this was around lvl 15ish, and he had great items, tore the other guy up pretty quick, kinda surprised I f'd him up like that.

Atleast with Melee Heros, you have a fairly good chance to get away.

Thats why i quite DOTA and stayed with what AoS game are left. Havent played in forever though.
Hero Builder grew on me too quickly.

And anyway, when the sniper has you targeted, even if you are a melee hero, your still screwed. I always liked the Zeus, when he was in the game. He was always a first pick on either side. Whoever got to him first was always considered lucky.

psh zeus sucks late game.. .only thing hes good at is keeping you underleveled by that cursed wrath of god.
Krikkit: riddle me this: if theres a tauren ghosty dude, whats his name/title? Leshrac the Malicious?

lich owns, i usually get a couple nulls and then get a treads then go straight for aghanims. if the game hasnt ended by then i get refresher (gotta love it when you kill all 5 heroes in 2 cf's )

i for one dont care for sniper.. he doesnt seem to be effective except for killing heroes that run away. but thats my opinion

 

[ChrisH36]

The reason Zeus gets so powerful is that:

Wussies can't kill the person themselves, so they are like "Zap", Zeus fires and you die at low life. It's almost like Zeus "Hero Farms" without soiling his own hands.

In situations where you can easily target him, say buh bye Zeus.

Riddle Me This: Why Don't You Read My Post?

 

[Dream_Walker]

that is no ghosty tauren dude, lol. thats just a spirit walker even tho he can disappear and reappear!

 

[Biske]

Well, I know that, but in the game they're Dead Tauren, so I made the connection, so sue me!

 

[Dream_Walker]

dead tauren = they die to you?

 

[ChrisH36]

He means that in ethreal form, they look like ghosts.

Give him guinsoo's so you can start a battle with an assasinate then smack him once or twice and when he starts to run away you hex him and smack him some more and finish with another assasinate. Yes, it's cooldown is that fast. If you want to be cruel you can also toss in either an eye or stygian but i'd go guinsoos for hex and mana regen.

 

[Biske]

Exactly. Ethereal, Ghostly, I see no difference.

 

[ChrisH36]

It still means ur ****ed if you are hit with a magical spell. Since you take 66% more damage from those kinds of spells.

 

[Dream_Walker]

40% dota wise. the spiritbreaker isnt ethereal either, but w/e.
ya i guess the sniper could be good if you get those items, but still, i repick him just seems a whole lot better at chances of getting TROLL (farm = gg) its as simple as that!

 

[Jenny]

Sniper farms faster than Troll.

 

[Dream_Walker]

im still better at troll than sniper, so its personal preference

 

[ChrisH36]

There is a point where sniper blows, and it is when you face up against strength heroes. Assassinate would do a fraction of thier life away and the attacks would be a while before the enemy falls.

 

[Dream_Walker]

still not my favorite :|

does anybody like the enchantress? i think shes one of the most ass kicking heroes out there... i mean, a ~175 dmg nuke that can be spammed for only 40 mana? thats awesome! i literally owned with her today, 33-5. and yes i have a replay
