well if ppl use 2 basshers, obviously not

 

[ChrisH36]

Bashers are bash ability in them. However, two bashers won't do the full 30% chance to bash, it depriciates a little. The only hero I know that uses 2 bashers well is Magina.

On range, the bashers have a less chance of working.

 

[ChrisH36]

Pugna and Rylai works well. Then again, Pugna's banish can be a good benefactor. Also any stun plus his life drain helps too.

what do you guys think of the recent discover of the secret boss icefrog? i think it is incomplete coding and maybe in the 6.3x version it will be revealed.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Hopefully it will be. It's amazing that some people still dont know about it.

 

[Wing Zero]

well ppl dont notice small details liek that

 

[micro.micro]

we'll i found out in forums so any dota player that is inactive in forums will probably not know about it until icefrog actually addresses it.

 

[Dream_Walker]

Yes, probably. But so far, he has remained passive on all of the topic discussion threads. If you want proof, here it is:

One way to find out, wait till 6.30 comes out.

omg i'm finished with footmen frenzy. so garbage. i hate how imba the archmage is. since i've been playing him i haven't lost a single game and when i don't pick him and other people choose him they never lose..... i think alot of the AOE spells like blizzard are way too imba. 3-4 hits and a tier 4 creep mass is gone.

 

[ChrisH36]

Maybe you will reconsider the whole archmage is imba shit when I make my Footmen Frenzy: Subzero. I am going to make sure shit like that and NONE of Hato's heroes (except Fox is going to be a Rock Lobster) will make it crappy.

But this is DOTA, not Footmen Frenzy! There aren't many AOEs in Dota, but they don't do much damage either.

Freezing Field, Nether Blast, Epicenter, Eclipse do tons of damage.

 

[ChrisH36]

Freezing Field the enemy needs to be within range, easily stopped depending on hero.
Epicenter is easily stopped
Crash near targets to take off some of the hits from Eclipse
Nether Blast not so sure how to do that.

-New heroes
-Bug fixes
-More items
-Possibly more modes


zomg cant wait!

there should be a hero that has no attack. ultamate support hero. it just has alot of life/mana and can cast some kind of dmg absorbing shield on his allies so that the ally has high dmg and goes in to fight while the support hero takes all the dmg to his mana/life. he would probably farm by getting a HoM + some kind of creep killing skill similar to sniper's scattershot.

should put a starcraft medic then :O

There was a hero with no attack once, it was the Tormented Soul

I think they should add all range and all melee modes. That would be cool! Possibly, we will get a Witch Doctor that DOESNT suck.
