DOTA Madness

What kind of hero was considered a key hero?

Everyone had their own views, but in most people’s eyes, the key hero was the core late carry in the lineup!

That statement was technically not wrong, after all, the carry heroes were the strongest in the later stage. Once equipped, 1v2 or even 1v3 would be possible. With the help of their teammates, they could even destroy five opponents by themselves. In Zhao Dingguo’s opinion, this statement was somewhat narrow in a sense. -The hero who was the most important and indispensable in the team was the key hero!

Sometimes, even if there was no late carry, a team could still win the battle. But if you weren’t able to fight at all without a certain person, that person would be the real key hero!

For the Scourge, Earthshaker and Rhasta were their key heroes.

With his ultimate, Earthshaker provided an inestimable threat to the Sentinel. If he released his perfect three-skills combo, then Zhao Dingguo would push his keyboard away without typing. Rhasta with his many CC skills and the ultimate- summoning serpent ward were also very important. As soon as the Sentinel rushed to the tower, he placed it beside the defense tower. The cluster of crimson serpent ward, juxtaposed with the defensive tower, became the first line of defense to stop Sentinel!

As long as these two heroes remained alive, the Sentinel side would be difficult to fight!

Zhao Dingguo had already locked Earthshaker because his HP was drained due to the half shot by N’aix. As long as he kept up, it was entirely possible to kill him instantly. But after N’aix’s Rage ended, Earthshaker decisively used Fissure to escape. Rhasta’s response was also extremely fast. Seeing Zhao Dingguo’s intentions rushed up, he released Voodoo and turned Zhao Dingguo into a lamb!

On the other side, the Centaur who rushed into the battlefield was also silenced by Bloodseeker’s skill.

Without his skills, he became no different from a large creep. The Scourge side also ignored him completely!

Seeing that all Sentinel heroes were being controlled, Earthshaker realized that his opportunity had come. He took a few steps into the crowd and released his ultimate before Zhao Dingguo could transform back! Although his position was not the best and it could not affect everyone, it was just enough to hurt three of his enemies. After all, affecting all five was only possible with a Blink Dagger.

However, Earthshaker embarrassedly found that the damage of Echo Slam was not as high as he expected!

Due to the splash damage of the serpent ward and the attack of the defense tower, there were not many treants following Zhao Dingguo. And the damage of Echo Slam was directly linked to the number of opponents. If there were only a few heroes, it was actually very ordinary. Looking at the Sentinel side, Krobelus’s big move is a steady stream of output. The green evil spirits summoned by her flying all over the battlefield caused great damage to the Scourge heroes!

In addition, her AoE skill cooled down quickly and gave a steady output!

Such heroes, naturally, must be killed the sooner the better. However, the Scourge side did not mean to kill him immediately this time, but gave the next output to Zhao Dingguo’s butcher!

Obviously, they still remembered that gem!

Among them, the Bounty Hunter was undoubtedly the most vigorous one. He gave Zhao Dingguo his ultimate Track and began to attack hard. GoblinTechies also plugged in a Remote Mine and a Stasis Trap, and immediately detonated when the Sentinel hero tried to defuse!

If none of these methods could kill the butcher, he still had the last move – blow himself up!

As long as there are no gems, with his insignificant, Goblin Techies confidently could easily kill Sentinel heroes one after another!

This “focused care” treatment made Zhao Dingguo very depressed!

Honestly, unless the butcher could first catch an enemy hero by Meat Hook and pull him over to focus, his role in the team during fighting was actually limited. In any case, it was not enough to be the first target. But the Scourge side just did so. They ignored the threat of N’aix and Krobelus, and stared at his gem!

“Do I have that kind of taunt?”

Zhao Dingguo was depressed when he watched his HP drop rapidly.

Although Alleria’s Shackleshot nailed Bounty Hunter to a passing ghoul, she failed to save Zhao Dingguo!

On the other side, the Scourge side also paid the price!

After releasing his ultimate, Earthshaker was killed by N’aix. Earthshaker himself did not expect to leave alive, and after deploying three consecutive skills, he completed his task satisfactorily. However, what happened next was beyond the expectation of the Scourge. After killing Earthshaker, N’aix immediately rushed over to Zhao Dingguo’s position, and quickly picked up the gems that fell on the ground when he died!

Bounty Hunter, who was standing next to him, missed by one second, and became almost crazy!

N’aix with the Armlet of Mordiggian was tougher than the butcher, and he still had his ultimate-Infest. They could kill Zhao Dingguo in one round, but it would be difficult to kill N’aix again, and The reason why the Scourge killed the Butcher first was to grab the gem.

Now the Butcher died, but the gem remained in the hands of their enemy, it could be said that the fight was fruitless!

This made the other heroes of the Scourge feel depressed too!

However, the team battles had to continue!

Due to not having any restrictions this time, the ultimate of Krobelus swept through everything, making the hero of the Scourge quite uncomfortable. However, Rhasta’s Mass Serpent Ward was also constantly attacking Allerias and Krobelus. The state of both sides was not good, the victory depended on the one who couldn’t hold their ground first!

At that moment, Centaur who finally recovered from the Silence state began to show his might!

His Hoof Stomp could be said to be the most reliable hard control skill among the Sentinel. Because of his good position, he directly stunned Bounty Hunter and Rhasta together. The most vulnerable Rhasta was killed, but Bounty Hunter relied on the acceleration effect of Track to escape from the battlefield!

On the other side, Bloodseeker wanted to kill Krobelus so he could recover his HP and fight back. But seeing the situation on the field, he estimated that he would die before Krobelus was killed. Fortunately, some of the Sentinel heroes had less than 40% HP left, so Bloodseeker reluctantly retreated by relying on the acceleration of his passive skills!

The two retreated, but GoblinTechies who liked to clean up the mess did not.

Finding that he had the chance to do a suicide attack again, Goblin Techies rushed out. He wanted to kill Alleria and the Centaur, but unfortunately, the Centaur saw it and used his Phase Boots to speed up avoiding him. He got out of the self-destructive center area in time and only suffered minor damage. However, Alleria was directly killed!

“Withdraw!”

Seeing that the two Scourge heroes were still alive, the Centaur and Krobelus decided to play safe. However, at the insistence of N’aix, they pushed out the second tower in one fell swoop and then left quickly!

In that battle, the Sentinel took some advantage!

They only killed two and destroyed the defensive towers, which was naturally more profitable than the Scourge side. However, relying on Bounty Hunter’s Track, the Scourge’s loss was not as great as they imagined. Because once the Tracked unit was killed, the Scourge hero could get extra money in addition to the normal kill reward, and this additional reward was to be shared by everyone nearby, barely being equalized by the Sentinel side’s gain!

Next, because both sides had heroes who were waiting to be resurrected, they entered a short developmental time.

Although the Scourge wanted to push, it would still be difficult to defend at the same time, not to mention to take the initiative to fight. However, they were not willing to wait passively for the offensive. After discussing for a while, they decided to let the Bloodseeker and Bounty Hunter go first and try to gank off one person, making it much more convenient no matter whether it was about pushing or something else!

Coincidentally, N’aix saw that the bottom line was very good, and hence TP to farm alone.

Because the item slots were not enough, he returned the gem to Zhao Dingguo who had just arrived in the middle lane!

The Scourge side immediately set a goal and intended to shoot N’aix directly. But with Bloodseeker and Bounty Hunter alone, facing N’aix at this moment would be slightly insufficient. So they called Rhasta!

The three sneaked into the Sentinel’s jungle from below the river.

While N’aix was taking care of himself, the three heroes of the Scourge took the initiative to attack while collecting money on the line. The Bloodseeker gave him a Bloodrage from far away, followed by his ultimate- Rupture. Bounty Hunter, who had long been invisible to him, immediately struck a hidden attack and gave N’aix Track!

This skill not only increased the speed of your own units, but it also had extra rewards after killing with the addition of having the effect of reducing the target’s armor!

“Help!”

N’aix responded quickly. He immediately called for help in the voice channel and opened his Armlet of Mordiggian. This would add 25 points of Strength, allowing him to hold longer.

N’aix was going to make Assault Cuirass, and he already had a Chain Mail which increased 5 armor, plus the bonus armor from Armlet. In that way, N’aix’s defense was quite good, and his HP would be almost full. In addition, his passive skill Feast came with the Lifesteal effect, allowing him to 1 vs 3 for a while!

At that time, reinforcements from the Sentinel arrived.

Zhao Dingguo’s response was the fastest. When N’aix asked for help, he activated TP with no delay!

Three seconds later, Zhao Dingguo appeared in front of the lower tower. Because N’aix was not too far away from the defensive tower, Zhao Dingguo only needed to walk a few steps after landing. Seeing that the situation becoming very critical, without thinking, he immediately threw a hook away.

Maybe Zhao Dingguo ’s luck was really good that day, or maybe N’aix ’s luck, in short, this hook coincidently passed through the gap between Bloodseeker and Bounty Hunter, and pulled N’aix back at an extreme distance!! It has been said before that the butcher’s skill could be used on his teammates. As long as the timing was right, it could save lives!

At that moment, Zhao Dingguo rescued N’aix who was supposed to be killed!

“Good job!”

“Awesome hook!”

Centaur and Alleria who just landed saw this scene and couldn’t help cheering.

Not to mention how much luck was present in this hook, but since it was out, it could be said to be a classic! In this way, the enemy’s ambition to gank was resolved, and the morale of the other party was also dealt a heavy blow, which immediately made them retreat!
