US EAST - ID Dota Group

[BodyHammer]

Yes yes, I know Dota.  But I don't want this to be yet another stuck up Dota group.  This is just a group to screw around with and have a bit of fun outside of ID.  So if you would be interested, please reply below with the realm you play most often on, your account name so you can be contacted and the Hero's (If any, experience not required) you prefer to play.

Everyone. <3 Pudge though.

[BodyHammer]

Awesome, have any of you played the A.I. map yet?  We could get together one time and screw with it, I can host, just to come up with a general idea for in game if you'd like.

The A.I. map is awesome in that the A.I. is actual well above that of the average pub player haha. 

[Red]

add Red-

[Rczapla67]

AI too easy in 3v3 or less. Even with insanes, extra gold and exp.

[Aflacduck]

The AI don't really think or abuse things like the damage - per - distance on Enchantress.

Nah, just hero's I'm capable enough at playing to pick.  We all need to get together at one point, possibly update the top post or meet in game, and pick one or two hero's.  Try to come up with a semi-permanent group.

Clockwerk imba.

New N'aix IMBA.  "Insane Massive Bad Assedness"

[ChronoSphere]

i like the old n'aix better.
even though it was heavily imbalanced.. (avatar+slowpoison=gg)

[Striker]

New n'aix isn't really imba. and it depends on what mode you play/hero match ups for naix to be imba. if it's em any hero can be imba.

[Zen1400]

All em does is make early game heroes alot more useless, since everything goes faster.

that video had awesome quality.
i wonder how he got some of his views...

 It was a joke, hence the changed meaning of Imba which I put right next to what I said.   Still, he is bording that actual imba line.

It's not so much his skills, which I'd say are simply very powerful, but certain items on N'aix overly synergize with his abilities.  The only way to prevent N'aix from slaughtering even the strongest of melee characters mid and late game are harrassing the hell out of him early game, something which can even then be avoided by jungleing till around 6 and assisting in the lane as needed.  The first big item to get is the hardest, a Satanic.  But with the strength bonus, the life leech, and the unholy strength from it, PLUS your rage, PLUS your version of life leech, PLUS the extra leech from Open Wounds which stacks with normal leech, you are literally unstoppable one on one.  At that point stuns are still your biggest problem as N'aix can't chase well until you max open wounds, and even then it's not enough for any hero with decent speed and a stun.  Which, is why you get an item with a disable, or you rush the hyperstone/stun combo. 

As a pub stomper late game, You can charge into 3 heros and take them out one at a time without fear.

I loved old N'aix, but i think the new is just more fun to play for me.  I love jumping into an enemys creep or neutral, waiting for them to come  by, and BAM, surprise ghoul eating your face.

[BodyHammer]

Also updated top post, I'll go ahead and just make East our official realm since everyone seems to play there.  Also Rc, what is your account name?  And anyone else, if you are interested, please make sure you include your account name so I can add you in the first post. 

I'd like to meet up with at least some of you tonight if you could, I have a little bit of free time tonight for once.

roofl satanic naix nubie.
go armlet/treads/sy/cuirass.

roofl satanic naix nubie.

I have never been a proponent of s&y, the bonuses are simply too small for the gold you invest. 
15% ias? You have treads and should have a hyperstone/curiass, plus 80% from Rage.
Maim?  You have Open Wounds which is slightly less useful, but comparable.
15 agility?  Negligible on a strength hero.
15 strength?  Satanic gives you 25.
15% move speed is about the only real redeeming quallity. But you will be slowing them with Open Wounds anyway, lessening the benefit of choosing it over another heavy gold item.


Armlet and Cuirass as nice items, however, situational.  If you have an Armlet, you are even furthering the futility of S&Y, with the Unholy Strength, and another 15% ias.

Satanic is invaluable. 40% leech, 55 damage, 5 armor, +475 life.  Not to mention the benefit that Helm of the Dominator gives you in jungleing early game before you finish the end item.

[Murs]

ok go 1x1 i'll go my naix build you go yours.

[BodyHammer]

Depends, are we just testing Satanic vs S&Y?  If so, I'll even throw you the 850 for the healing salves you're going to need. haha
