The copypasta started from the Dota2 subreddit where a user made a post complaining about Outworld Destroyer with Aghanim’s Scepter being broken because of how strong it is.
Other people then started using the copypasta template for different heroes and characters for other games.
I absolutely despise wd shard
I cant believe this shard is still in the game. Its contrary to everything dota is about.
Wd is a hero you have to focus/burst. No different than a hoodwink/es. He has a spell that completely disrupts most fights. He has ramping damage as well. You cant burst/gank his teammates if hes there because of ward so you have to kill him first . If not, he ults then melts everyone.
Guess what, lets give him a 40 second cooldown phase shift echo slam as a shard. Even better, its invulnerable to cc with no cast time so theres 0 skill required to use it. Last but not least, make it a pure damage so its not countered by nothing, not shiva, not pipe, not even guardian angel.
So now, he just buys that braindead item and cannot be bursted by absolutely anything except a 1v5 scenario. Go on his team? Die to ward. He doesnt even need support items. Great game design icefrog, next time give something similar to other supports so its consistent. Lion maybe? What about vengeful spirit? Im sure supports getting a unkillable skill is balanced.
Oh right, its countered by cc! Tell me 1 hero that has a good cc that can also dmg wd so he doesnt shard himself. Maybe ill go orchid pudge just to counter this heroI absolutely despise od aghs
I cant believe this aghs is still in the game. Its contrary to everything dota is about.
Od is a hero you have to focus/burst. No different than a tinker/meepo. He has a save that completely disrupts most ultimates like duel. He has ramping damage as well. You cant burst/gank his teammates if hes there because of astral so you have to kill him first . If not, he saves his teammate then melts everyone.
Guess what, lets give him a 90 second cooldown aegis abaddon ult as an aghs. Even better, its completely passive with no activation feature so theres 0 skill required to use it. Last but not least, make it a barrier so its absolutely countered by nothing, not shiva, not vessel, not even doom/aa.
So now, he just buys that braindead item and cannot be bursted by absolutely anything except a 1v5 scenario. Go on his team? Save with astral. He doesnt even need aegis. Great game design icefrog, next time give something similar to other glass cannons so its consistent. Sniper maybe? What about arc warden? Im sure glass cannons getting a unkillable passive is balanced.
Oh right, its countered by break! Tell me 1 hero that has a break that can also stun/silence od so he doesnt astral himself. Maybe ill go orchid viper just to counter this hero.
Also this mf can blink out after 3 seconds if u dont break his barrier by then. Even while doomed. Nice balance guys
