I'll explain what I like about Bristleback and maybe you can find me a better lol counterpart (I believe I played rammus... Hes the guy that charges people with his rolling move, right? To me that feels more like bara.)
I generally like tanks. I like being able to take a great deal of punishment. But tanks need to be focused in order for their tankiness to really shine. So particularly, your tanks need to have some way to instigate people to fight them. In dota, this is sometimes accomplished by buying a radiance (which I think there is a weaker analog in LoL). But what I find frustrating about spending your money on instigating is that this replaces money that could be spent making yourself even more unkillable.
Bristleback combines all of this into his abilities so that he is one obnoxious hero that, if left undealt with, can kill your whole team given enough time, through his quill burst. But then his bristleback ability, if used correctly, means that even when the enemy team wants to take care of the quill burst threat (since prior to the team fight I've been running around bursting quills on people), this only causes them to be in even more trouble. Lastly, the snot is the icing on the instigation cake. If BB isn't dealt with, the goo lets him go in for the kill. It gives a definite reason to kill bb before he has a chance to put insurmountable dmg on you. And this is all without his ult which gives you the position and bonus dmg to really seal the deal. All this means that you can spend all of your money on all of the tankiness you could ever want, turning yourself into an unkillable powerhouse with the dmg necessary to kill anyone you want and no one can get away.
Does LoL have a counterpart? A hero that has in its skills both means to tank, and reasons for enemies to focus him, while being able to take advantage of gold (more tankiness equates to more dmg). I want to be a tank and force people to fight me, and then be unkillable when they decide to fight me.

« on: April 05, 2013, 11:58:08 am »It's not like Dota 2 has had Bristleback for that long yet.
True. I had been waiting sooooooo loooonnnngg!!!!
I half jest. I played HoN much more back in the day and I basically played armadon (their bristleback port) almost exclusively. Now bb has been ported to Dota 2 so I can stop playing centaur and chaos knight and just play bristleback exclusively.
But in terms of the LOL vs Dota 2 think, my comment was only half in jest. I played LoL, I tried, but I was too used to the HoN/Dota style of laning and hero interactions, and I'm too old to learn all that AP/whatever the stats are in LoL, so I just stuck with all I know. Hell, I could be missing out on a hero in LoL that works like bristleback but is a million times better, but I'll never know.
I'm just sad HoN messed up the good things they had going for them.

So its my turn and everything looks quite safe... Somehow. Definitely no thanks to me!
So do we think that I should be setting myself up someplace nice. Should I clean up Madrid?

I'll just take 32, deploy the fortress in 26. Take 13 coins.
I wish I had these skeletons much earlier in the game.

I feel like I've been checking this thread, and didn't realize it was my turn... Pretty sure yesterday I went, 'geez who we waiting on, the game is already over anyway...'
Ooops.

Yuma for MVP. No question. Pulling off the LR claims was tremendous. Then the ballsy play of "we're both scum, lio, you choose who wins" for sure gets him MVP. No offense to Robz, but I dont think he did anything especially MVP worth to reign in the W for his team. Like he even said, he got to watch the scum he knew existed walk himself into a corner. Robz didn't win, everyone else lost.

If I was better at this game, I would have seen how weak my case was on Raerae, saw who was willing to pick up on the case, and then unvote right after arch put his vote down.

So if there are no scum games to reference, we have no idea if you wouldn't act the same way as scum. I would bet that you would.
