This game was a dual lane in the offlane with an Omniknight. Not my favorite match-up, but the heals made it work somehow. I went my regular build Tranquils, Aquila into Aghs and the timing was just fine. The other lanes didn't lose too much and we were against an Arc Warden which is always a good sign that we already won before the game even begun lol ...
Arc Warden has a 40% at the moment according to the Dotabuff stats lol. I mean never bet on an Arc Warden on your team, it's never a good sign in any cases. After the laning phase, the game went pretty fast since we got all the outer towers easily. We got plenty of easy pick-offs with the Kunkka X Mark The Spot ability. It was a pleasant game for sure. gg wp!!!
Tinker. Tinker. Tinker. It was literally the name of the game for the first 40 minutes. It was so hard moving around the map without getting jump by Tinker. For some reasons, the rest of the Dire team was not that hard to deal with. Weaver was beginning to become a problem, but we were already 55+ minutes in so it does make sense in that way.
I didn't expect this game to last as long as it did, but it did anyway lol. Dotka is still freaking Dotka in the end of the day. We manage to hold highground just fine and got some decent pickoffs on Tinker which were pretty hard to get, but it was well worth it. We could only push when Tinker was dead pretty much that is why the game last over 70 minutes lol ... anyway gg wp!
This game was our troll game pretty much. The classic Deadman Snowball (Tusk/Necrophos combo) and it was pretty successful in the beginning. It was slightly rough at some point when the enemy team got some levels, but it was alright all through out the game. We always Walrus Punch and Scythe the person been snowball on and it was almost an instant kill every-time.
Once Wicket! got her Desolator, the damage output was enough to kill anything on the map. I would play this combo again anytime soon xD ... I used to play Undying/Tusk quite often when I was on my Undying kick, but the Necrophos/Tusk is pretty legit on it's own rights. We close this game with some serious high-ground defense which gave us a nice networth swing to get the items to end the game. gg wp!!
Arc Warden and Drow Ranger in the same team ... Possibility the worst thing that could happen lol, but somehow it went just fine since Radiant didn't put enough pressure for some reasons. Needless to say with the Precision Aura and Necronomicons Aura, it was pretty easy to destroy towers and get super early raxes lol ... It was one of those I guess haha. gg wp!
Lich is a simple hero to play and I have been enjoying quite a lot lately (like a lot lol http://i.imgur.com/uPqUqHU.jpg). I enjoy supporting with this hero since it's really easy to control the creep equilibrium with sacrifice which make most laning phase a breeze. Also, I am a big fan of maxing the frost blast, because it does so much damage and help zone out the opponent quite greatly. Later on, the frost armor is always helpful to boost the team survivability with a big of armor and a slow.
I tried to use the Lich ultimate as much as possible since the cooldown low. So once I'm level 6, I always try to frost blast into ultimate if I get the opportunity which result in some really satisfying early kills on the board (most of the time). However, this game was relatively hard with an Abaddon/Axe lane since we constantly dive, but we manage to salvage the situation with some Zeus ultimate here and there. The heals from the Treant Protector really help against that nightmare of a lane lol.
In summary, Lich is an amazing support hero with good presence all game.
I am back on another Abaddon kick it seems. I'm just loving the shield ability so much to remove stun or silence at will. It gets pretty handy in tough situations. In this game, I was basically the front-liner for Sniper. I tank the Dire team and he ditch out the DPS we needed to win team-fight. It worked out pretty amazingly in the end all things considered.
I'm probably going to play a lot more of Abaddon. The Lich's kick is over for now lol.
The game started a bit slow, but it was kind of a mess in the mid-game I got to say. We managed to hold with Wicket! Carry Treant Protector. Which is her basically getting a fast Midas into a rushing Aghanim's Scepter on Tree. All that vision around the map was pretty obscene with the early Eye of the Forest, I like it a lot every time. No need to buy anymore wards for the rest of the game haha.
I went Aghanim's Scepter first since it's my favorite thing ever on Undying at the moment. I feel like stealing 10 strength for every decay is just too good. Beside, the Radiant team were all pretty tanky so stealing all that strength was nice enough. Later in the game, I went for the Octorine Core which reduce my cooldowns on my Decays so it was even more ridiculous lol. Undying what a hero xD ...
Anyway, good game well played! fun times. #AlwaysCountOnCarryTree
I will always Pudge picker and even more when they are on my team, but this Pudge did deliver a lot during the early and mid-game. My laning phase in the offlane as core Abaddon went extremely smoothly, because of it. Wicket! (mid Necrophos) got a good timing on her Radiance which made the game super easy from there. I made sure to always have my Lotus Orb and Aphotic Shield up so I can throw them at Wicket! in team fights. Anyway, it was a really enjoyable game overall. Ez game. Ez life.
