No more Dota Part 1/2

A couple of weeks ago, I've decided to stop playing Dota. I'd still like to comment on these great Dota vids that I've seen.



Arch Enemy – Nemesis

- We’ll assume Earthshaker has lv4 fissure, lv1 enchant totem, lv4 aftershock and lv2 echo slam
-
- Naix is pushing the bottom Sentinel lane
- Earthshaker comes in and stuns naix with fissure, follows with 2 hits and an enchanted totem hit.
- Naix uses avatar. It looks bad for earthshaker who decides to run.
- Spectre uses haunt/reality and joins in on the chase.

- Key mistake: Spectre gets in naix’s way thus preventing naix from slowing earthshaker with poison sting.

- Instead of waking up and left back to base, Earthshaker runs in a circle thus stalling for 15 seconds (the cooldown for fissure)
- Earthshaker stuns both naix and spectre with fissure and uses echo slam.

- There are 3 scourge creeps along with naix and spectre. Assuming Lv2 echo slam, that’s 275 damage followed by 225 echo damage. Throw in the fissure damage (275) and 2 aftershocks (115*2 = 230) for a grand total of 1005 damage and a well deserved double kill

The rest is either extreme luck or more likely maphacking BS (chasing tree to the outskirts of the scourge base and sniping him with fissure? C’MON!)
