Isn't Pit Lord like 7+ years old?

Apprently came out in 6.44 which came out 7 years and 12 weeks ago.

Which brings up another question of why the hell did it go from 1.00-6.44 in like 7 years and 6.44-6.82 in the same amount of time. Where is my version 7.00 icefrog

He's pretty old that's for sure. Also pretty boring to play. Although he got remade so maybe he's better now?

7.0 comes out when all heroes are ported to dota 2 (which is never :rimshot:)

I was all about the pit lord model in WC3. Love my demons. That said he wasnt amazing/game changing when he was introduced.

Blink Dagger nerf (yeah, sorry): it is split into two items, when you have only one piece it only travels a fourth of the distance.

Better build-up for the heroes that want it, but heroes that get 6-slotted (NP, Tinker, etc.) will not want to make the inventory space investment.

Also it is very DOTAesque in how random a mechanic it is ;)

I didn't think we could get worse suggestions than the previous few pages, but there we go.

I think the rest of the roster will probably be in by early next year. Techies before the end of the week, a hero or two for Diretide, a hero or two for the Xmas event, and then whatever's left if anything for spring. Pit Lord will probably be after Techies given that he doesn't seem to have any glaring balance issues.

Fake patch notes are fun and cool to read because you can play the "which one of these will come true" game, like with plague wards getting Veno's sting.

Don't say such things. I have fond memories of playing pit lord in old rear end wc3 dota and having a blast so if it turns out that the years have not been kind to the old lug then I'll be sad. :smith:

I can see a surprise double-ult if he just snagged a Refresher or something and you didn't know.

But a triple-ult? How does that work?

A level 25 player getting killed with Aghs Reaper's Scythe will be down for 130s, scythe cooldown is 70. With Refresher, there's still maybe 30-50 seconds of 3 dead and no buyback. Lategame, that's enough.

It was hilarious cause at the end we were about to save the game and I was defending at low HP cause I had no time to heal, Necro was dead and I could buyback anyway. Dude bought back, boots of traveled to me and ulted me again :saddowns:

e: Yeah I didn't mean 3 ults in a row or anything, just that we hosed up once and after that the lack of buybacks was the nail in the coffin.

People look down on Sven a lot but he's still a pretty okay carry with his crazy damage and fast stack clearing. I'll probably take him over a carry Alchemist or Luna, and you see those often enough.

He's just vulnerable to getting kited but looking at that game I don't think that was a danger.

Sven is a good 1. position carry when your team has 4 dudes setting you up for the Huge Cleaves.

Otherwise he's kinda garbo as a 1

I also pick him as a melee support, which he can do pretty well with his recently buffed base damage and armor. Basically just dive towers without a fear and stun dudes. Later on he can transition into a semi-carry with blink BKB.

Just pick sven because he's cool and fun to play at every stage of the game. Round out that perfect item build (4 S&Y, 1 blink dagger, 1 MoM) with a 7 slot refresher orb for "ultimate > feed > buyback > refresh > ultimate > feed" combos
