Dota 2
I remember building mechanism on spectre when i was new to dota to increase damage from dispersion. Won that game because the opponents were also noobs.
I played Witch Doctor mid buying zero regen and rushing Midas. I actually crushed my lane. People always get caught off-guard against early high-level Maledict.
I also recently hard-committed to a pure strength Morphling. The game went on forever and I was actually able to make some big plays pushing people out of their base. We wouldn't have won the game without me finding a Book of the Dead though.
I remember when pure STR support morphling was actually super viable. One of my favorite supports at the time.
I enjoyed a lot Riki supp in the last patch, so I miss dart so much and the first thing I thought is to buy atos first item as pos 4...it actually works pretty well if your team doesnt need something else as soon as possibile. Nothing comparable to dart but upgrade to glepnir in late game feels pretty good.
I mean, atos first item on Mirana isn't too uncommon after all.
Can't think of anything interesting I've done myself, but my friend did go for a tank sniper build in protest of our offlaner picking a 5th squishy hero as our last pick. Went for radiance, heart, strength blink, halberd
We basically won, but we lost the game because the 5 of us all died while diving fountain. Twice.
This is only stupid to an extent actually. There's many games where going Satanic early on sniper can be the correct answer, and there was even a video explaining how to consider it. Like for example, if you're being jumped by a QoP, yes, BKB will save your ass from the Witchblade and Orchid damage, but you will still lose the right click war. Satanic does the same and makes you win the right click war.
Still, I only ever did it once, and wouldn't recommend it.
That doesn't sound bad, but i don't think he even had a satanic
A long time ago, we were four stacking and came across a super toxic SF. We were probably around Archon rank at the time, and so my friend and me accidentally both built mech. SF notices this and begins to flame us. We were already losing at that point so we decided we may as well just all buy mech to fuck with him.
Best part is, we started winning. SF went from pretty active BM to being pretty quiet. I can't remember if he eventually quit the game or not, but I do know it was the most satisfying win ever and the "build" I'll remember most
blademaster build, i've done it on several heroes in turbo but have only fully completed it maybe once or twice
-sange & yasha
-yasha & kaya
-sange & kaya
-manta style
-heaven's halberd
last item depended on the patch, sometimes silver edge (when it was built from sange), sometimes bloodstone (when it built from kaya, but i don't think i ever completed that build), and currently it's ethereal blade
