Yea, Neki thinks he (Neki himself) is competitive. That is, until you see how far I can push myself over the cliff. When that happens, worlds explode and babies cry. Not funny.

Which is why I prefer calm, smooth games to have fun and try my best in, rather than to stomp or even win.

Dev and I were getting into it and I ragequit. It was uncalled for.

wasnt it you and devilesk who were raging against me when i was just trying to have fun?

Epic game is when devilesk randoms Jeraziah and we absolutely rape them in lane. Magebane + Jeraziah + Blink + Heal + Manaburn = kills for all! Also, I didn't realize how good Helm of the Black Legion is on Magebane, makes him a tanking beast.

Raccoon; I make sure all players are in agreement to have a relaxing game first.

It makes anyone a tanking beast, but that gives him essentially nothing lategame if he's going to carry, which is what he needs to do usually. If you're going for a midgame win, it might be more viable.

That is a very powerful combination to try out though, but would definitely take some coordination... and Jeraziah not getting banned. =D I'm up for it, though.

Hm, HotBL isn't very expensive, it's around 2250 gold? I can usually farm that up in the first fifteen to twenty minutes. It also gives him the greater ability to jungle, tank towers and not get blown up in team fights by other carries in like 4 hits. Also makes him very good at chasing past towers. If I go HotBL, I'd probably skip Runed Axe and go straight for a Geobane and then get more dps. His early game and mid-game dps is easily made up by his mana combustion ability along with his Master of the Mantra ability, that is why HotBL will work on him.

I've never seen a carry in a real game get Helm ever, nor do I expect to. After 40 minutes or so carries really do too much for a helm to make a difference of more than a couple of hits, and that's a piece of a Wingbow.

Fair enough, usually in real competitive games, carries will usually get Shrunken Head as their real first core item. But we're not playing competitive here, I can't really rely on my team to let me have all the tower kills, or all the kills, or to be babysat in a lane in order to get enough money to get a Shrunken Head. So I get what I can when I play, and HotBL has an easy build-up along with instant impact on my hero. Maybe if I ever got into the competitive scene, but till then, I will have to deal with you guys.

i like behemoth. but not in pub games, cause when i initiate, they run

Then you aren't doing it right.

When u initiate with behe, you're supposed to port n ult, therefore stunning them all if hit right with ur passive, then hit your damage upper, stunning again, then hit you're fissure to block them off from doing anything.... Therefore they should not be able to run away before being raped... Behe gets a ton of annihilations by just using his ult to begin with.

The quad kill and annihilation sound fx sound so wicked now. I still don't understand how IP manages to get all five kills in a team battle, that is ridiculous stuff right there. Hm, a team of IP(carry), Kow(support), Devilesk(support), me(Semi-carry/ganker) is epic. We would just need a fifth, probably some sort of initiator or tank. Maybe an Excalibur pestilence, or maybe a ForTheSwarm behemoth, or a Hydrolisk...uh...Electrician?

edit: also, Kow, have you found your niche hero yet? You're the only one I can't really put a hero to, everyone else is pretty easy.

Hellbringer is so broken, and Demented Shaman is powerful as hell too. 6-0 streak today. =)

I love babysitting/harassing with them too, it's fun. Pestilence+Demented Shaman combo is nutty, his stun does like 400 damage and my heal does 1000 after ulting. =D

Anddd Hellbringer has am 80 mana full heal, lol. Then double ult + fire breath plus his magic reduction for 3 seconds of stun and a shitton of magic damage, and a full heal.

I agree Faz. Hellbringer is the most epic initiator ever. You put down a life void, put down the DoT, put down shackles and throw down the ultimate and you're basically invincible for ten seconds. I once survived getting focused fire by their whole team because of life void. He's the more useful version of a Warlock.

So what is my niche hero ultimo? even i dont think i know what it is... I can also play electrician fairly well, i'm good at focusing when to stun and stuff, although his ult always seems off to me and i have a hard time placing it. Also, i find his item builds to be fairly strange, as you basically want to build him as high mana and high hp at the same time with mad regen, but i just havent found my flow as to his items.

Luck?
Life leech and repel and no team helping spells = I stand still and just rape without a care in the world.
And one of them wasn't part of a team battle, I just advanced and someone came from base.

Sacrificial Stone. /end.

Tanks and supports team.

Old sac stone was fantastic for elec, now it's pretty good, too bad he doesn't get +hp regen from it anymore. Though, it does make it easier to get charges for him now.

Frostfield is good too. +armor AND +mana.
