Yay!
Lion King <3
Also, does the fact that this was released on a Tuesday mean we'll get 2 heroes this week? (because Monarch won't come off of EA, but we need a second EA hero, so to get a new hero, Gemini would be released for free for legacy player, while another hero would enter EA to be released 3 weeks after Monarch).

Too complex, OP, too easy, too straightforward, boring, underpowered, diva's hero, lycan port.
Ok, everything's there, now don't make the threads again.
What a surprise. It has a gap closer that cliffwalks, a stun, multiple slows and a free geometer.

A hero that scales as much with items as it does with skill, it seems.
How would geometers work on Gemini? My guess is it would be like this:
- activate without ult: 3 Gemini illusions (duh)
- use before ult, ult afterwards: 2 Gemini illusions + red & blue wolf
- ult, use on red (blue) wolf: 3 red (blue) wolves, 1 blue (red) wolf
Combine this, and you can get 3 red and 3 blue wolves running around in teamfights. Add refresher for more lulz.
Note: this is assuming that items get duplicated when ulting. The video doesn't seem to give too much information about that though, unless I missed it.

Free geometer? You realize you'll have to keep both the wolves alive. If one dies so does the other. Geometer gives you illusions, not twin versions of you.

Looks op, also looks like it this hero was just a poorly crafted amalgamation of DOTA's Twin Dragons and that LoL hero.
But good job S2, must have taken you a whole day to steal those ideas. Also, I wonder if you guys actually awarded Royalties to Cascada for using their song for Empath's original picking sound. You should have, Cascada's amazing and doesn't need people stealing their work either.

the split ulti having no time limit is insane. This hero is gonna boss farm so hard.
Also they noted nullfire is good with this hero. I can't disagree, but you can't use items when split, so i'm thinking we may not see as much geos with him as people may think, and if you want the nullfire for purge it may not always be there for you. Basher will be sick tho

You can't use items in ulti. Idejder said it in another thread.
Oh, so you can be split forever? That's pretty awesome, actually.
You lose stun time, nuke damage, item use and passive autoattack boost. You get x2 damage if you get both wolves to hit someone, and the stun becomes targeted.
You don't have meepo's root to surround someone and stuck them with minions.
why wasnt there any sneak peak of any avatar?:[

I just worry she'll be like MK and underused because of the difficulty.. I mean I know she's a carry, but there's a simple reason beyond the fact she's broken now that people dont play :ophe:, they don't wanna micro and she's complicated.

1. A Semi-blink that stuns (gasp!)
2. A Nuke that slows aka Jakiros twin breath (even the concept is ripped off)
3. Passive gives 2 hits per hit? Well it's new... and pretty OP. Enjoy vsing Gemini with basher.
4. An Even stronger version of Sil's ult. Yeah.
GG S2 (no re)
Wow, please tell me you are not that dumb?I never noticed that Sill dies if you kill her illusion, how could I miss that. Also Gemini cant use items when split into two, looses his passive double strike and stunduration on skill...
And geminis stats and statgains are awesome right? I assume you know because you are posting thoughts about balance. Doing that without knowing stats or any numbers on anything would be just plain dumb, so I assume you have inside info.
Oh btw, people posting similar stuff please read this blogpost by Nigma: http://nigmahon.blogspot.com/2011/10/it-only-does-everything.html Its so spot on :D

I don't get why people think this hero will have such a high skill cap, or being hard to play. Looks pretty straight forward to me.
Looks like fun though. The double hit thing was a nice idea, but I can see it being a bit strong on a agi carry. We'll see.

A hero that scales as much with items as it does with skill, it seems.
How would geometers work on Gemini? My guess is it would be like this:
- activate without ult: 3 Gemini illusions (duh)
- use before ult, ult afterwards: 2 Gemini illusions + red & blue wolf
- ult, use on red (blue) wolf: 3 red (blue) wolves, 1 blue (red) wolf
Combine this, and you can get 3 red and 3 blue wolves running around in teamfights. Add refresher for more lulz.
Note: this is assuming that items get duplicated when ulting. The video doesn't seem to give too much information about that though, unless I missed it.
No I would suspect the split wolves would have set stats independent of items, like DotA Panda's ult.

-DOTs on fire wolf still there after Gemini's ult.

About 1/4 of the people on the forum scare me that they are real people and probably allowed to vote in whatever country they live....

What a surprise. It has a gap closer that cliffwalks, a stun, multiple slows and a free geometer.
Yeap, my first reaction as well. Too much stuff in one spell. But considering most heroes have this nowadays I guess it's a must. :/
Still, i like the concept.. pretty straight forward.

How is he unkillable?
If one of his wolves dies, he dies.
He has a semi blink with low range, hard to aim stun.
He seems like he'll play like magebane. Can deal a decent amount of damage early game (people underestimate mana burn), needs a lot of farm, can escape, dominates in pubs.
So you just need to learn how to keep him down, two of his abilities are boosted by items (his split state gets stats, right?) so just don't feed him and gank him a lot. His blink is no where near as good for escaping as Magebane's.
He'll probably have pretty **** stats too, to compensate for the whole double attack thing.

People cannot just leave well enough alone can they... complaining about how OP he is when Gemini himself is not even released yet...
Madman has invis with slow and nuke. Also crits and ulti that let him scratch your face off real fast. Not a stun, and mm is still strong even seen in competitive last time i checked some matches.
Soulstealer has 3 AoE nukes. Are you seriously saying that SS n ukes arent completely batshit insane, they do more damage in a aoe than a lvl 16 pyro ult at lvl 7, and the only reason SS is "balanced" is because you could potentially gank him all game long. Stop ganking him for a few min and bam he is back to 400 gpm.
Oh look!! Chronos has slow/blink. Built-in bash, chances to recover health on damage and OMG!! Stop Time AoE!! Yea and that slow blink is his strongest skill... Also since when is CHANCE to do something on hit good?Its retarded praising soemthing like that, on the other hand BLINK + STUN , is it comparable to blink + slow?
Valkyrie has a leap, AoE Nuke, Nuke + Stun that requires some skills and experience to land properly. And anothe one. Valk has a leap that gives you minor bonuses. Wolf has a stun leap? Valks nuke is a strong skill wont argue there, but also look at that, valk is one of the most use champions you retard, guess why? Because she is strong as ****.
I rest my case.
You just rest your case you ignorant prick. The heroes skills are broken by design, why do you think they removed the stun from madmans barrel roll? But well we dont get to judge that till he comes out and we got actual numbers and the feel for a hero. Still blink with a stun -.-.

Are you guys serious? Escape mechanisms? OP stuns? The only thing going for this hero is it looks cool.
I bought it because it did look cool and now i want a refund. Four games with it just for practice in No Stats and 1 kill. No joke even Monarch beats Gemini in kills (even though shes a weakling).
You basically cant really use the ulti as the only useful spells are on Gemini. Try to escape a team gank in fire and ice form literally doubles your chances of being caught. Besides this you use your stun in a team fight and being a weak 'agi carry' cant wait the stun's 14 second cooldown to use it to escape. Dont expect to survive if you get heavy lane harrassment either. The stun is quite unreliable as well with a very small area of effect which requires impeccable timing if your target is moving.
The two wolfes 'fire' and 'ice' you turn into when you use ulti are hindered by an activation time and the fact killing one kills you. The .5 second stuns and slows on each wolf dont help in the slightest. And even the teleport the wolf to the other wolf spell has an activation time and doesn't when the wolf is stunned. Im sad to say that this has got to be the worst hero i have ever played.

If you can't play him like a ganker play him like any other hardcarry FARM till u get imba and win.
he is indeed hard to play but ull learn eventually
went 20-0 my last game with wolfie still got lots to learn though but it aint impossible :)
The potential with this hero is quite huge, but the skill ceiling for it is rather high too. Basically you can one farm on 2 lanes, farm on 1 and gank on other, farm a lane while healing up at the well with the other wolf and so on. This makes this hero multifunctional and while he can be hard carry late game is very very decent ganker in early to mid game.
The fact it's quite hard to play brings the people who complain it's bad hero here, while I think it's a very good hero to have in the right situation - when the enemy has more squishy set up.
Thumbs up S2.

I'll paste a nice piece from Nigma's blog for all the peeps crying about new heroes being overpowered.
"It has a huge Nuke, a Stun, a Slow, Crit, Invisibility, a +300 attack speed buff, increased movement speed, AoE silence (goes through magic immunity), near permanent invisibility, free wards and counter-wards". Sound ridiculous to you? That's because it is- I just described Scout to you...The exact same whinefest was going on when Drunken Master was introduced: stun, disable, slow, leap, aoe damage, built in shrunken, movement speed bonus, HP gain, unkillable. I don't see DM being picked much after the initial "new hero, must pick!" phase ended.
tl;dr - move on.

This Hero has Everything
Blink, Disjoints, Nukes, Slow, Dots, Stun, Heavy Dps, Awesome Passive and all I see is nubs complaining about how shitty this hero is? HUH? WTF?
The Hero can Nuke you for 860 magic damage in level 9...
Just use Twin Breath and Twin Fangs in Wolf Form, Ult (Fire and Ice) the use each wolf separately Fire Breath and Fire Fang for Fire Wolf, Ice Breath and Ice Fang for Ice Wolf... It takes a little bit of skill and timing but any Experienced player can do it Fast and Easily.
So really... You are telling me that this hero in lvl 9 can do more Damage than Witch Slayer's lvl 3 Silver Bullet?
No worries my friends because this hero will get Nerfed unless S2 Games lost their minds. :wret::wret::wret::wret::wret::wret:
Valevo
11-03-2011, 06:58 AM
I agree that he's fun to play, has many great abilities and micro-ing the ult isn't too bad once you get use to it.
The biggest downside I've noticed which is something many carry heroes have, is that his blink/stun and ult definitely have drawbacks. Using the blink to initiate leaves him pretty open to get locked down. He feels squishy like many carries too, making frostwolf, shrunken, etc all attractive to give you a batter chance of walking after a team fight.
The ult creates more targets of yourself which makes certain aoe's hurt even more :balp::behe:. It's not all a bad thing tho, really makes the player have to think ahead in how the team fight will go. I'm still getting a feel for all the things his ult can disjoint. I.e. oh sorry there :bomb:, where'd your bomb go? I eated it?
All in all, I like this hero quite a bit.
