The Banshee
steals two mountain giants. Since mountain giants cost just as much
as a hero, and Banshees cannot target Air, this is economically the
best possible unit to possess.
Occasionally, a
hero may be fed so well that he is virtually unstoppable. These are
worthy of screenshots; many players post screenshots of
"stacked" heroes in their signature in the forums.
This is one of
the most dramatic screenshots. It shows Gondar in action killing the
opposing team. However, right after he killed Lina Inverse, he actually died due to her Scepter'd Laguna Blade and Light Strike
Array. This screenshot captures Gondar at the brink of death. Other noticeable
features include the 1100 damage critical hit and the number of
kills he has.
This is naix (on
the sentinel side), getting owned by his very own kind. Ghoul creep
surrounds him, trapping him, leaving him no choice but to attempt to
leech life.
This picture
shows the power of Lucifer (Doombringer) 's DOOM Ultimate spell. IN
this screenshot, there is an arrow pointing to a player using the
Stealth Assassin (SA) with 20 kills, 0 deaths, until DOOM is cast on
him, ruining his undefeated record.
Just an amusing
picture, this is Rylai Crestfall (Crystal Maiden) casting frostbite
on an Ancient Hydra in a SC (super creep) game. The block of ice is
gargantuan.
The old version
of Doombringer was the Pit Lord, one big slow lumbering hulk.
Equipped with Black King Bar, activating avatar makes him
ridiculously gargantuan; haven't seen a bigger hero as of yet.
Few characters
can get to 5000+ HP, but Pudge 2.0 can manage quite easily. With
dual heart of tarrasque, Pudge is one big flesh heap that's going to
take awhile to slaughter.
Nothing too
special here, but note that if both barracks are destroyed, then the
opponent's creep will be extremely powerful- look at the damage -
its hard to notice because your hero will die so fast if they manage
to surround you.
A screenshot of
the lightning revenant, with a decent record and items. First
screenshot from version 6.08, which features a different map
background (it's icy now, and more aesthetically pleasing).
A little story about this
game:
It seems that the scourge are completely obliterating the sentinel.
However, Razor, overconfident in his "godliness", decided
to just play around and kill heroes instead of going for the world
tree. What ended up happening is that, Razor killed enough sentinel
heroes to make all but Chimon_lee (Chaos Knight- Blue) leave. Note
that all the scourge towers were also all taken out, leaving the
frozen throne vulnerable. Razor kept taunting and calling the
sentinel side "noob", but Chimon_lee gathered up all his
heroes on his side (because the players left, he controls them all),
and charged straight for the scourge keep. The scourge lost.
The hero Azwraith,
the Phantom Lancer, can create illusions by attacking creep. This is
a screenshot of an illusion that was generated between trees! It's
stuck, so its rendered useless.
Featuring the
Naga Siren, the very instant I clicked her ultimate sleep move: Song
of the Siren, the "Defeat" message came up. However, it is
funny to see that her song was in effect even after she was
defeated.
The game was
dragging on too long, but the frozen throne was exposed. With not
much difficulty, Furion, the prophet, teleported right behind the
throne and destroyed it amidst all the creep fighting. You can see
that not all the scourge structures were destroyed and that the win
was slightly premature.
Note: Some people
consider this illegal and some rules dictate that Furion is banned
from bypassing creep and attacking structures directly.
In version 6.10
there was an addition that Roshan has a chance to drop a
"rare" item. In this game Roshan dropped an item that uses
the "Magic Sentry" icon, but has no tooltip. According to
the wielder, he says that it makes him travel faster and yields him
vision of Heroes he's attacking (sort of like Gondar's Track). Also,
there is a swirling blue aura that surrounds him. The hero is the
Paladin, and you can barely see him in the upper right corner
underneath the Player stats window.
DOTA is famous
for having tons of leavers that completely ruin the balance of
power. This screenshot shows a result of the scourge side where 4
players left, leaving 1 player to do the bidding. Consequently, that
one last hero becomes extremely buff, rendering it an awesome hero
killer, but no matter what, 5 heroes will always overcome 1 in
pushing power. This screenshot shows Azwraith, Phantom Lancer
becoming Godlike, while losing towers 8 to 0.
In versions 6.10
and below, when the host typed -ap or -allpick, it will show several
messages "An enemy has chosen zone indicator". This
screenshot shows an abuse of this by typing -ap many times. This
message was removed in version 6.11.
This screenshot
is pretty hilarious. Someone created the username
"Administrator" and decided to go in games and type the
message you see in the screenshot.
A screenshot is not enough to show this situation;
there will be a replay posted representing this.
The scourge has taken out the World Tree, resulting in the defeat
of the Sentinel and a "Defeat!" screen. However, I let the
game run a few more minutes, and the sentinel creep killed the
Frozen Throne, resulting in a "Victory!" screen to show
up.
Techies groups up stasis wards to block creep; massing
a horde of them to unleash them all at once for an insane push.
However, version 6.19 fixed this issue, giving wards no collision
size.
Occasionally you'll see usernames with the same name
as their character name. You would probably expect them to do well,
or else they're not living up to their name!
Stormassassin's Beyond Godlike streak was broken, but,
immediately after, he got a kill and his streak returned, even
though the streak count is only at 1.
Chen's greatest ability is the power to
dominate/possess uber strong creeps. In this screenshot, the enemy
just died to a stun from Chen's Centaur Khan. Apparently, he blames
the kill on a "neutral" but nope, this is no neutral creep
you're dealing with here!
With creeps
pumping at this rate from "Speed Line Tower Wars", few
computers can maintain their Frames Per Second. The lag at these
moments were just.... catastrophic.
This is an insane screenshot from Footmen Frenzy 3.8,
one of the most popular UMS maps after DOTA. Shadow Hunter's
ultimate, Big Bad Voodoo, allows all nearby units to become
invincible, leading to a swift death for the opponent. This is the
face of true horror and utter ownage.
