U can eat one with that tango change. Also I'm assuming like a tree it blocks movement so you can potentially gank someone or save yourself by blocking your retreat behind u as u flee

[Syobon]

It works for shackleshot and presumably Timbersaw as well.

[iamthelordhitman]

i presume it should also work for treant and natures prophet if he feels like making a single tree

[Syobon]

I was watching sing strim and arc warden seems like the worst cancer ever.

Midas plus necro plus manta = pushing god

[Misterme7]

Seriously Icefrog what

Also Huskar is now complete and total garbage tier mostly.

Interested in Riki ultimate, guess I'm going to have to be a Riki picker for a few days to see what it does.

Midas plus necro plus manta = pushing god

He was going midas octarine radiance manta interestingly.

Edit: Forgot an important part, Boots of Travel. This is definitely 100% core.

[iamthelordhitman]

Radiance is interesting but octo core would mean his clone is a lower cd along with midas and lower bots.

I really like him a lot I just gotta git gud with the micro

[Syobon]

Yeah hero is pretty hard to play optimally. Keeping up the E spam and microing the illusions while taking full advantage of his split pushing is pretty intensive.

I think this hero is broken for sure though, no way he is getting into captain's mode like this.

edit:

[iamthelordhitman]

i really do wanna see him get into cappin mode tho like this with some real strats behind him

necro push is really strong but i watched a game before with a good arc warden who was doin everything push wise right, but the other team was able to stop the snow ball and just farmed his necros.

the visage got like 2k alone off them

[Syobon]

That's why I think necro might not be the way, it's better for finishing the game fast but it's late game where this hero shines. He should be played like Naga on roids.

The hero is weak in the laning phase, but with his long auto range and W he's pretty safe mid and can catch up with double midas.

[iamthelordhitman]

ive seen him do well at times in a gank simply because of Q and E in the early stages. if hes got vision and anyone on his team with a stun the gankee is basically dead if they dont have backup but i suppose thats the point of him.



jesus christ i just had a thought, if he does get farmed to dicks and gets refresher he can make 2 copies of himself, then with manta 2 more each totaling 9 including the real one. with a diffusal thats worse than anti mage

THE POSSIBILITIES AHHHHHHHHHHHH



oh lord i bodaciously just did some testing in the demo mode. butterfly, manta, divine, bots, refresher, daedalus. throw in a bkb stead of butterfly once they have mkb or have serious lock down cause each one can hit bkb IFUCKINLOVETHISGUY

[Misterme7]

Arc Warden looks like he could be good.

Now I need to not be shit at micro.

[iamthelordhitman]

pudge + kotl+ bs = very very dead enemy team.

666 pure damage hooks flyin every instant from chakra

[Misterme7]

Aghs aether lens Arcane Rune Pudge.

Tried Timbersaw again due to random draft and someone wanted to jungle. I do like him. A lot of it is that the enemy underestimates your damage. If they dive you at level 6 and you've been smart with your mana, you can nearly always kill them. Even when I was playing with people several thousand MMR above me, I got a few early kills because people underestimate the burst from Chakram+Chain+Whirling Death. Strength heroes especially. Tanky strength heroes like Axe won't be used to it, and if you don't get called you can kill them, and if you do probably force him to fountain at least before you die.
