Stuff that annoys you (In DotA 2): V. Riki + Good Player - Games

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;39364317]Viper is a weird carry because none of his skills scale with items all that well[/QUOTE] that's the good thing, agility heroes like anti-mage, sniper and viper (hurr rhymes) already have enough orb power to just augment their agility until the ultra late game, then you can go straight damage/tank depending on what your hero all you really need is a manta and BKB for viper

Yeah, it depends how you build him though, if you have shadow blade and orchids by 20 minutes you'll kill pretty much anyone that doesnt have detection [editline]26th January 2013[/editline] meh im kinda over viper's jewness, i'm only going to pick him for counterpicking lifestealer

Low lvl pubs with Bloodseeker, Huskar, Riki, Skeleton King and Ursa w/ everyone except Riki having 3 hyperstone + lifesteal.

when you're playing riki and someone buys gem on your team then proceeds to die to the enemy bounty hunter

Riki.

rikimaru

I just randomed Riki today and won the game. [editline]31st January 2013[/editline] I mean, I didn't win the game solo or anything, but still.

I just plaid a game against rikki, and holy shit. Wow. I have never seen a hero that broken in my life.

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;39438444]A good Riki won't blindly rely on invisibility and will wait for a proper initiation to jump in and cloud everyone. In the free time he will farm and farmed Riki is a pretty scary shit.[/QUOTE] I can agree to this. Holy fuck that asshole is fast and before you realize what happened, you're waiting for your 60 second respawn.

[QUOTE=Unisath;39120065]Bloodseekers who build Sange and Yasha and cosntantly silence enemy carries.[/QUOTE] I built sange and yasha and silenced spectre weaver and invoker ultra kill (undying thought he could tank me) a while later after all the silencing Slows annoy the shit out of me "COME ON RUN FASTER DAMMIT, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND!"

Luna. Just... Luna. She'a a Fucking cunt. I am so fucking sick of her. Nerf her stun, and I'm completely okay with her. that's it. JUST her stun.

Too bad she doesn nothing if you have illusions on your team

Whenever a really bulky fucking fed hero gets a Shadow Blade. Particularly Viper and an (exceptionally fed) Drow. It just pisses me off. We just need to kill them now and shut them down for a bit later, oh, they only need 100 more health. [B]*WOOSH*[/B] He's gone. Fucker.

Most players get overconfident when they manage to form a lothars. I had a game recently where 3 people on the enemy team had it. Sadly, the strategy 'TEAM INVIS' gets kinda useless when everyone in your team bought sentries.

i hate drow ranger

[QUOTE=bobster221;39481375]i hate drow ranger[/QUOTE] She's not as bad as she used to be. Now she's just another flavour of your typical glass cannon carry.

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;39481389]She's not as bad as she used to be. Now she's just another flavour of your typical glass cannon carry.[/QUOTE] 60% slow and 150 damage at level 7 still, and ludicrous attack speed.

Yeah, but it doesn't make her any harder to kill if you have some kind of mechanism to "get in" on her and tear her face out, i.e. blink / force staff. She's a mid game carry, I seriously doubt that will change. Late game she falls off and early game before level 6 she's one of the easiest ganks in the game. Gank with multiple people, she can't kite both of you. I mean, Shadow Fiend can have INSANE damage at level 7, but he's not over powered - he's just as easy to gank.

Drow has armor, slightly more base HP, insane slow, insane damage, doesn't lose anything upon death, and an AoE silence that has good range and lasts for quite a while. Drow can easily kite 2 heroes at a time at level 6, she attacks way faster than 1 attack per 1,5 second at that point.

Nyx.

[QUOTE=bobster221;39481375]i hate drow ranger[/QUOTE] i mean there are a lot of dickish heroes but drow is too much, i mean a carry with passive agility bonus and an aoe silence wouldnt be too bad but the global aura is silly in my opinion, the slow is just ridiculously too strong, and the amount the agility bonus gives is just fucked, +40 agility at level 6 is just complete bullshit. if her slow arrows were reduced to the original 50% at max and the double bonus was removed, she'd be fine

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;39481945]Nyx.[/QUOTE] Undying.

Phantom Lancer annoys the hell out of me.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;39482252]Phantom Lancer annoys the hell out of me.[/QUOTE] Because he's a bit op at the moment. Even if his team gets beaten up the whole game PL still carries the potential to turn the game around.

[QUOTE=uber.;39482529]Because he's a bit op at the moment. Even if his team gets beaten up the whole game PL still carries the potential to turn the game around.[/QUOTE] Because AM, Faceless Void, Morphling, or any other carry can't do that. PL is balanced.
