The ultimate way to swindle pubs, even if you suck

[Lethe]

This has to be one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen in my existence in dota/hon. Anyways, I drop by a game hoping for a normal AP game where i can fool around, but something is up...no agi heroes? Ok whatever I go deadwood, everyone on my team is a bit confused. Turns out the game is DU as well, and the other team picks 5 armadons.

If 5 permaslowing freaks isn't enough, Wait until quills stack in a matter of seconds, as we on hellbourne all found out the hard way. Additionally, No respawn timer is on, and item drop as well.

I really must give credit to whoever on legion thought of this. There should be nothing that beats 5 Armadons, especially with respawn timer disabled.

But in this game, luckily we catch on and realize that the only way we can win this game is non-stop turtling until everyone on hellbourne is strong enough that we can continue a sustained push without being worn down by the ultra-gayness that is 5x snot storm and spine burst. Absolute hilarity ensues, and my first annihilation in dota/hon ever after 5.5 years of playing :D

If the other team doesn't see this coming, your psr goes up so fast LOL. But luckily we caught on to their little ploy fast. Take a look, this replay is nothing short of ****ing hilarious

[ElementUser]

Yay for Spine Burst stacking from any allied units.

Also, who were you?

[Sync]

ROFL, that was awesome. Double Deadwoods is ferocious.

Great annihilation, as well. It's hilarious to see the pubstompers getting stomped. I only wish I could listen to their Ventrilo while this was going on. 5/5 :cheese:

Element: He was sr8, the Deadwood that got an annihilation.

[ElementUser]

I thought so, he was the 1 that seemed more skilled than the others lol

Also, I think the game mode included item drop mode...LOL

[Dionysus_]

So wait, are you advocating using the 5 aramadon strategy to swindle pubs?

[Reonhato]

because most HoN players like you are to stupid to look at the enabled options this might actually work..... actually it has worked in the past, been a few threads of ZOMG HACKS THEY HAD SAME HEROES!!!!!!

[Lethe]

If your team is remotely competent you could easily swindle any pub with 5 armadons. Luckily they sucked. They could have a fb easy with triple gank on any lane at the start for example, have 1 armadon solo each lane 2 roam, or something along those lines.

The snot storm thing is gross, 1 cast from each and you're instantly at 40% slow. Not to mention quills, within seconds you are taking 150 dmg from each spine burst (look at our poor soul reaper this game).

This is kinda half serious, half ROFL FUNNIEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. You could in all seriousness win any game you played if the other team didn't see it coming (which realistically they shouldn't). At the same time though it is funny since we beat them at their own game, all 5 of our heroes coincidentally being quite strong at stopping pushes.

[Grant]

The last line of your signature and the title of your post confuse me :p

[Pandabro]

Considering their items I doubt they were taking it very seriously.

Certainly would make for a very entertaining game though lol.

[izzmad]

if you pull that stuff right, 5 armadons is most likely to be the hardest mob to fight. i must say they were not very skilled ;O.
most likely they read about this here in other threads, 'cause by the way, we had this in several previous threads, one with discussion on which DU mob can best fight off 5 arma's.

[OMFGswashy]

Batteries fill up pretty quickly against a team like that.

[ThundrShock]

i played a 5 armadon game, and we won.
then we had the same group go on 5 pebbles. haha.

[SideKick1]

Batteries fill up pretty quickly against a team like that.
too bad it doesnt help

Something you should remember for next time, eat 4 trees using level 4 clearcutting and you negate the slow completely(through immunity). Other than that, nice idea, good thing for me I filter these options out XD

[Heavenlapse]

Legendary onslaught hat trick quad kill savage sick annihilation

[sr8]

meh i personally wont resort to swindling a pub like that but if u wanted to that would be a great way to it lol

[M4NT1C]

I think I played against the same guys 2 weeks or so ago but they went with 5 plague riders and we had chronos,hellbringer,pebbles and engie. There was a andromeda who started feeding cuz our loss was eminent, so we kicked her and proceeded to farm up and a barrier idol and refresher on my hellbringer later we forced the concession from the unskilled plague rider team. They failed so hard lol

[yezZIR]

it's completely outta the question to think that maybe this was just a friendly group of guys having some fun?

I can think of much better lineups to griefing pubs.

[Fornozo]

Me and my friends tried doing this with x5 Riki and x5 chronos. Too bad it didn't work :(

[Drasha]

no 5 armadons is the best line up you can't counter it or stop it.

[Albane]

Hmm.. 5 tempest with 5 meteors and too many ults to stop them all! Surrounded by 30 water pets and finishing off any runners with stuns.

[Mellow]

There's much much better things than 5 armadons. For example, 5 pollywog priest. At level 6, you can just walk up to a tower and boom, it's gone. 5x torturer, everybody dies when they come close to you. 5x defiler, same as 5 pollywog priest, but now everybody's always silenced.

Ooh, 5x defiler. You could push their base in 10 minutes and there is nothing they can do. Basically have 2 ults going at any given time.

[Jeza]

I've been hearing for a while that 5x Armadon is pretty much unstoppable.

Just another part of your post, 1st Annihilation in 5.5 years of DotA/HoN? o.O I didn't play DotA and I must have had about 10-12 personally in HoN ;o

[Lethe]

meh i've probably had like 15 quad kills. The first time i almost got an annihilation in dota (or w.e the equivalent is) was with meepo but our techies suicided and then blew up mines so i only got a triple kill :(

5 Armadon is strong because of no respawn time. That is pretty key. Even heroes like PP and Tempest have high cd ults that are relatively useless in this mode. You kill them, whatever, they just respawn and slowly but surely wear you down with mass spine quill spam...just check out how quickly they take out kongor lol

[Passus]

This was epic game... They had a tactic buuuuuuut then came 2 deadwoods and paunched them...

A+++ game, would watch again! GJ on the annihilation too.

You can one-shot almost any lane at level 3. Not to mention Hellfire permastun

[SharTeel]

yesterday night my friends and I joined a no stats game
enemy team took: nymphora, soul reaper, accursed, jeraziah, demented shaman
I don't know what their intentions were, except being raped :|

[elevator13]

OJ at 7:40 and 22:20 (in teamchat) made me giggle

[Well_Shebber]

Not to put this down in any way, but this is not at all new. It's been done hundreds of times, the first one being a few months ago. I've done it myself 3 or 4 times.

Also, stack armor. Stops their quills and counters the armor debuff from the slow.

[Extreme_Cake]

5 Deadwoods is funnier.

[Lethe]

OJ at 7:40 and 22:20 (in teamchat) made me giggle

Yea I saw this too it was funny.

Now that I think about it 5 deadwoods is indeed prob better but dw is imba, at least for this patch o.0

[Charade]

:phar::phar::phar::phar::phar:

GLHF with 5 missiles at once

[ZyklonBro]

I can think of much worse than 5 armadons.
5 well built deadwoods would do it. The falcon punch aoes are a bit rough.
3 voodoos and 2 chronos or tempest. you can maledict 3 seperate spots and then triple boosted ult. guaranteed genocide.
hell 5 pebbles with port key you can all chuck then stun and their whole team is in the air getting hit by 5 sets of stuns for bonus damage. that's a genocide on most teams.

[Thysios]

5 corrupted decile is good too.

Bugged damage drain if you all use it on the 1 target. There is no time limit on the bonus damage.

Perma +200 damage anyone :D

[NinjaMoves]

@Charade: THE charade from the dotaportal.com?

[Eserem]

:sand::sand::sand::sand::sand:

That seems to me like a quite good lineup. It is worse now than before though, but you almost die just by killing them.

Not to mention their ulti is probably very strong when stacked.

They do seem a bit weaker with no respawn timer though.

[Regomantis]

I ran into something similar where the entire legion team picked thunderbringers at the last second. We came out with the win only because they sucked and we had good picks. Me and the friend I was playing with had armadon and devourer. Needless to say we stacked magic armor on hp. :)

[AzrFlameKite]

we faced 3 slither with an amazing push wish Soulstealer and engineer. We only won due to patience and our Swiftblade gettting hard farmed

[TheSleek]

:succ::succ::succ::succ::succ: and :succ::succ::succ::succ: with guest star :chro: are pure win

:sand::sand::sand::sand::sand:

But the other team wins before they even hit level 6. I can tell from personal experience. Well if the other team sucks real hard you might get there, but there are better lineups.

[radiodank]

IF you had 5 chronos' wouldn't that be like 2 minutes of disable

[zero_shot]

5 pharoahs are ridiculous as well. early game souls when timed right wreak havoc. their ults all hit hard as well.

[Flouyd]

no 5 armadons is the best line up you can't counter it or stop it.

To bad its me black... ah Void Talisman :VoidTalisman:

[KARTlK]

5 HB would DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY 5 Armadon if their boil's still stacked on top of each other.

[SUBS]

5x madman or 5x Torturer is pretty epic

[Llama]

We bet that once with 5 defilers with void talismans+powersupplys. Throwing in one shaman there probably wouldn't have been that bad either now that I think about it, that or a a plague (snot sets off sheild)

[_Aphotic_]

We fought :witc::witc::witc::pyro::pyro: and they used their stun advantage to exploit kongor

we had :zeph::ramp::poll::succ::swif:

at the start it was looking pretty bleak but they let me farm as zeph and spinning blade raped them, then rampage and succ got shrunken head and they conceded

[Quickfix]

Basically 5 of any hero would be pretty rape. Except maybe Rampage.

If you're talking about greatest chance of winning and dominating, 5 Bloodhunters shouldn't be beaten. Permasilence.

[coolstorybro]

You wanna know what the best lineup is... 5 thunderbringer's and pray they don't get magic armor.
All you have to do is use your ult's at the same time and they all die. This has probably been done before

No, I have fought 5 TBs around 3-4 times and we have won all of them. First of all, no one is stupid enough to NOT get magic armor, second of all, :pred::mage::arac::jera::devo: and anyone with a bkb or shamans would completely own the tbs. Also, silence the tbs and they cant do **** :dark::vind::defi::bloo:

There?s too much counters for TB for a 5 TB strat to be viable.

[Beroya]

5 corrupted disciples are truly unstoppable. Generally moves faster, single target spells result in 100 damage taken and a short slow, and as a previous poster stated, conduit gets bugged if two disciples use it on a single target. They have a mix of magic and physical damage, and their ult stacks. At 16, it means a teamfight can result in the lowest health opposing hero losing around 10 armor per second.

What's even funnier is when you're against a hero lineup like 5 armadons or 5 TBs. They have to practically get a headdress just to use their spells.

[Svendetta]

People dont understand why 5 arma is unstopable, all they need to do is press w once each at level 1 and you are dead. The quils stack with quils from other armadons for the increased damage

[WalrusTusK]

I wanna test that hypothesis Svendetta.

brb

[ShredderIV]

Wow, a game against 5 armadons and none of you got a void talisman...

:arma: is very dissapointed

[Lethe]

well we can theorycraft 5 x hero all we want but you gotta try it out lol.

But from the looks of it 5 CD or 5 Pharaoh should be pretty rape too.

[SideKick1]

True true but it could really pown some noobs but the problem with any 5 hero setup is that whatever counters one counters them all
anything can beat noobs

[Crashh]

Me and a friend do dup heroes sometimes in 2v2 and we went double Devourer and it's fun pinballing them around with hooks but your ulti's dont stack, and decay doesn't either, so it's really not that fun... but it was still funny cross firing hooks haha

[igotmunchies]

5x thunderbringer is equally as entertaining

5v5 all scouts is actually very epic

It really is, hell I'd buy that game. Clash of the scouts. It's THE ****.

[KleinAberOho]

Our clan once did a 5 Armadon vs 5 Vodoo Jester match.
Armadons raped early, Jesters won the match.

When I played dota, a team of 5 jereziahs (omniknights) is completely unstoppable. 3 get mana rings, the other 2 try to rush refresher orbs.

Hell you have 30 seconds of near immunity at level 6. Only can be countered by 5 electricians :)

On topic: that was a hilarious replay

[Phobio]

:jera::jera::jera::jera::jera:
unlimited magic immunity and 35 sec physical immunity is enught to push at least 1 tower every 2 min
but easy counterd by elec or nullfire
don't know if inner light dammages towers, but 1800 true damage every 12 sec is just l0l
edit: wtf didn't see the previous post:(

[sirroMrM]

won a game against 5 armadons with a team of 5 slithers

ward spam + mana ring = insane

[JelloBoy]

no 5 armadons is the best line up you can't counter it or stop it.

5 Armadons blows, try fighting 5 defilers, you won't win, that is by far the most rape team, and 2nd to that I would say would be Jereziah

[FireSoup]

because most HoN players like you are to stupid to look at the enabled options this might actually work..... actually it has worked in the past, been a few threads of ZOMG HACKS THEY HAD SAME HEROES!!!!!!

Ever tried 5 Behemoth? RAGE MODE!

Me and my friends did that in a fun game (it was clearly written in the title) where everyone went mid all the time. Though we chose to go all Behemoths after four in the opposite team went the obvious route and chose Armadon. The last one was a valkyrie (which sucked pretty bad actually >>).

We got first blood, but they managed to rape us early with spike-spam until some of us got ring of sorcery and began to spam them back way out of reach xD

Ended with three leaving (after being killed multiple times) and the other two getting shrunken head and raping us at first, before we started shutting them inside our fissures and then waiting for shrunken to end xD it was hilarious.

[zxpr0jk]

Try 5 Demented Shaman and 10 minute raxxing.

[mRm0NTAGE]

If you know they are going for 5 armadons. get a vindi and a puppet and a deadwood. its pretty much the counter. vindi espech, whenever he is around, the armadons have to chose do i snot or spineburst every cast.

[Lennic]

5x madman or 5x Torturer is pretty epic
Man 5x madman should probably get 1 hit by some aoe damage, haha

ive had that hpapen to eb before vrs 5 armadons, it was a rough game. i went to solo mid at soul reaper and 5 armadons cmoe from behind my tower snotting and quill spraying me :( we had a good chance but our legionaire quit and we eventaully lost, was a great game tho

[MuffinFTW]

Lulz, **** 5 Armadons. 5 slithers own that ****. Wards = UBER PUSH TOWERS! Moar slow + slow + slow + slow. You can't even def your tower. God damn 300 wards raping it, and going near = YAY POISON SPRAY + TOXICITY + Wards damage. :D

[NiczorN]

Lol, I'm gonna try this when I get home from school. Haha :D

[Innate]

I played a 5v5 against 5 slithers once, in a game I randomed warbeast cause I didn't realize it was duplicate hero and they picked at the last second. Was one of the most hilarious games ever (ended up being a 4v5 in their favour, though they weren't exactly top tier players). Trying to do anything for the first 15 minutes of the game while they pushed towers with over 9000 wards was pretty impossible, but once I got a vanguard (for the ward damage), and a few other items they were all so underleveled from being in the same lane the whole game it was like playing whack a mole anytime I had ult up.

Haven't tried it on 5v5 but playing 3v3, and doing 3 behemoths against some friends (they did 3 armadons) was some of the most fun I've had in hon. We spent most of the game figuring out ways to block people in with fissures. Perhaps we should have spent more time figuring out how to actually kill people, though.
