Most Overpowered Hero to exist in dota? in General Discussion
Peekaboo

    Dota 2 has had its fair share of Outright broken heros, from the infamous 80 base damage batrider too the Oracle ulti giving invisibility on a 20 second cooldown, From the Geomagnetic grip stun or the Cancer lancer of ti2, What hero do you think is the most overpowered version/patch in its 'HayDay'?

    for me, Centaur on release was the most overpowered hero to ever exist in dota. He had Double edge stun, stampede stun (for entire team, globally on a 40 sec cd)

    Peekaboo

      Honourable mentions

      Winterwyvern release - Winters curse was a Ranged Blackhole that killed a hero and allowed your team to still damage them on half the cooldown.

      Arc warden - Tempest double being able to hold but not drop rapiers (sit in base, tp the double and rat a base in 5 seconds)

      Leshrac - Magic damage meta (Octarine core release) Jack of all trades.

      WISP (io) - Teather Stunned for 2 seconds at level 1.. TWO seconds LEVEL 1

      Sniper - hoohoohaha Shrapnel damaged towers... Think about it for a second

      Troll Warlord - You could build 2 bashers on him

      Naga siren - Heros could still be effected by repositioning spells (skewer, vaccume etc) while slept.

      Gamebreaking bugs -

      Chen - Holy persuasion could control roshan
      Earthshaker - Could hide roshan

        any hero on initial release since ember spirit was OP af (im talking about dota 1 versions)

        Peekaboo

          @aggressive

          did you ever get to play pre6.50 Spectre? with dispursion reflecting 100% of incoming damage.. You'd A click mid and get fingered killing 5 heros for some reason.

            @HyperStoned

            Shrapnel damaged towers, but it had no charges, you couldn't cast it from very far, the damage was minimal and it, either didn't slow or the slow was almost inconsequential.

            Some reworks were hideusly OP. Stampede stun was one. TB having a 5 sec 40% slow that summoned an invulnerable copy of your target.

              I started with 6.49 but I dont remember that version of dispersion.

              Chiwa

                Sun ray unlimited duration + slows .

                Peekaboo

                  @tutayta
                  6.82 Shrapnel had 1800 castrange and while it had no charges you would walk down mid with 5 heros from min 7 and get a rax by min 12. If you have any heros to protect sniper from doing sniper things it was litterally game over with not alot of counterplay

                  i never really played alot of TB but that sounds balanced lol

                  @aggressive
                  Pre 6.50 - Dispursion before it got reworked - Pure damage
                  Gives Mercurial a chance to avoid damage and disperse it to an area around her. Has a minor stun effect. Can only disperse for as much health as she has.
                  Proc Chance: 4%/8%/12%/16%
                  Disperse Radius: 400

                    Monkey king infinite jingu stack time with 200% damage bonus, because why not.

                    Cashmere

                      6.86 Druid was broken as an offlaner with the introduction of savage roar.
                      But he was the most broken in 7.00.
                      Got a lot of free mmr that patch.

                      Tu tayta

                        It was a lot of fun to play against 3 or 4 heroes with respawn timer reduction talents who could defend high ground, right?

                        i follow Jesus.

                          lone druid after talents update
                          terrorblade when he was released/buffed for a slight time and had metamorphosis lasted between aegis/buybacks
                          meepo before winter wyvern

                          drow ranger is my favorite, 100+ creep damage at level 16 means you could afk in base and win the game

                          Sernyx

                            Patch 6.84...

                            Huskar - build 3 solars and you'e fucking invincible.

                            Bloodseeker - delete any hero on the map at minute 10 and snowball like a bitch.

                            Bounty hunter - bathe in shitloads of track gold.

                            Storm spirit - ridiculously low manacosts, buy bloodstone for crossmap zipzaps.

                            Shou

                              6.86 OD and also earth spirit release into CM

                              despair

                                Meepo, cancer hero tbh, the game becomes 9v5 when someone picks meepo

                                N4

                                  Troll in hoho-haha patch was awesome.

                                  Bonus damage in melee form and axes giving vision. Hero was limited by warcraft 3 mechanics.

                                    Alchemist around TI5 iirc, Greevils Greed is absurd, 8min Radiance was real

                                    N4

                                      I think the biggest bullshit was Spirit Breaker before his BAT was increased. After his charge was fixed to bash the target too.

                                      It was impossible to lose with that hero. I stopped playing him because it wasn't fun.

                                      6k animal

                                        Dark Terminator. A hero so OP he was only accessable by randoming.

                                        Drunken Brawler-At level 4, he had 30% evasion and 10% chance to deal 6x crit damage.
                                        Wind walk-At level 4, invisibility, 100% more move speed, 100 bonus damage on attack for 30 seconds.
                                        Blink-Global blink. Yes, global blink. 60 second cooldown.
                                        Reincarnation-280/230/180 CD reincarnation.
                                        Imita[tcffffcc00rion (yes that's what it was called)- "Confuses the enemy by creating illusions" Illusions deal 100% damage, takes 100% damage and lasts 60 seconds.

                                        ETd

                                          ^What patch was that?! 5.xx !? Damn you're a true Dota vet

                                          Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                            The 7.00 Ebola Spirit mid still gives me nightmare. The 15% spell amp at lvl10 is ridiculous. With veil of discord, he can delete you easily with a triple remnant. The 15% cd reduction talent on lvl20 synergy with his skill and the annoying +2s searing chain at lvl25 talent. Godbless Gaben for nerfing this hero.

                                            The 6.82 Phantom Riki is a scary ghost, waiting for the right time to murder you and escape w/o a single damage on his health. The up to 5 blink ultimate left you no chance of escape. And since the Diffusal Blade debuff (including dust), a Ghost Scepter wont save you. He can solo kill any alone hero whenever he wants to.

                                            The 6.81 mid Leshrac won every lane on every game. His lightning offers a 75% slow with a long cast range and 4sec cd. Lvl1 split earth AOE is already big compare to now. No mid laner can survive with his nonstop lightning harrass to live the tale.

                                            Honorable mention:
                                            The 7.02 Necrophos one hit Reaper Scythe + Ghost Shroud = full and hp
                                            The 7.00 unkillable Lina with her -25 respawn time + bloodstone.
                                            The 6.84 Storm Spirit madness because of the Bloodstone buff.

                                              does no one remember release earth spirit ? by far on the top of brokenness

                                              just remember his ult was not dispellable with euls or anything ? the grip on allies without aghs or talent ? boulder lvl 1 5 second silence

                                              u can go on with this list and u realize what this shit was

                                                i was so so bad for most of the truly broken shit, tinker ancient farming vs ghost huskar vs release kaolin vs stuntaur I have no idea of power levels

                                                Mikaela!

                                                  Shou

                                                    Remember pre nerf spirit siphon?

                                                    TheMaverick427

                                                      A few others i can think of off the top of my head:

                                                      That single minipatch where all of spectres illusions got Dispersion. Back then dispersion reflected its damage after the illusion bonus damage was calculated so if you throw in aeo nuke into several illusions you just died.

                                                      Phoenix when Fire Spirits used to heal and the laser used to slow. If the fire spirits expired, they would explode around phoenix damaging enemies and healing allies including phoenix.

                                                      The time when Venge aura crashed games. It was right when they introduced the ability for enemies killing venge to gain the negative aura which reduced their damage. Problem was towers weren't coded to have auras back then so if venge died to a tower the game didn't know what to do and it crashed for all players ending the game. So whenever venge's team was losing she would just intentionally die to a tower and the game wouldn't count.

                                                      Also the Sniper headshot ministun. Kinda obnoxious.

                                                        Oh I forgot, there was one patch where Slark gained permanent agility for each kill.

                                                        Clippy

                                                          What about bloodseekers old ability, Bloodbath I think it was called.

                                                          glhf/ggwp

                                                            i hate the arc warden when he was released. 4 second slow with purge, infinte salves/clarities on your tempest double and on top of that a always 10 second bkb. "balance of power" patch, yeah... whatever :-D

                                                                    Dog

                                                                                            i have to add that imho meepo is the most op hero in the game, but i guess there is no mind capable of playing him to his full potential. i mean, who in the world is able to move every meepo like he is controlling only that meepo oO

                                                                                            Shou

                                                                                              GRANT MACDONALD

Jungle gave good farm too. You could come out of the jungle at 6:30 with treads, HOTD, level 6 and then just ult to the safelane, double-kill the support and carry, take the tower, then go back and farm a necrobook while your ult was on CD, then do it again.

                                                                                                It was complete cancer and I got from 1.8 to 2.6k largely because of it.

                                                                                                i troll

                                                                                                  does anyone remember silencer's aura on lane ?

                                                                                                  lowercasenospace

                                                                                                    JDF8

                                                                                                      Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                                                                        does anyone remember silencer's aura on lane ?

                                                                                                        I remember that. Good old dota 1 days, where every hero that cast around him will be silenced for 1/2/3/4 sec. But I don't think its enough to be called OP, coz his other skills are trash (if we compare to Sniper mini stun headshot, Razor stormseeker, etc)

                                                                                                        We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
