General Discussionnecrobook strat OP or just caught off guard?

It's actually an OP strat. Just because of that Pugna suddenly became a top pick when he was an outcast. The fact that they can't be countered by Midas or HotD anymore means you gotta have a chen or an ench in your team who are now easily countered by BH. And you can just ban them as well. It's quite a popular strat now.

They can be countered by diffusal blades, Navi was close to win the game against necrobooks. But i wont disagree with you on the rest

Diffusal blade works with charges while necro doesn't and there are not even that many heroes who are supposed to get diffusal in pro games. Maybe PL Mirana or Jugg but all 3 are rarely picked anyway.

Mirana was picked yday almost in every game. Both sides. They had TA and Mirana with diffusals.

EDIT: All in all its a popular strat. But i dont believe that it can give you more than 1 win in a series of 5 games. They can counter it by banning certain heroes etc etc

and then they pick medusa that kills all necro creeps with one ulti and receives 3000 pure damage in her mouth.

Its tough, I came across it and almost won.... http://dotabuff.com/matches/365139778

^hahahhhahaha, volvo plz nerf

I remember a time back in WC3 where there was a limitation of 1 Necrobook per team.

If this becomes a thing Medusa/Gyrocopter + Omniknight will be seen more often.

Theorycrafting mode off.

necro mmmmeta <3 hopefully one day average game will end in 15minutes

@Dotafreak Its Aron someone who I feel is a decent player so I would assume so though I don't remember. The Agha upgrade might have been a option to burn a bit of the mana.

I don't feel this strat is too OP as it lends itself to a push strat and the tendency is for a team to die a lot trying to do this however that being said the higher kill count still might not win you if they are forcing a push this strong.

Even morp and weaver buy necro http://dotabuff.com/matches/367272271

Truth can u add me and invite to ur stack sometime please :x

void with necro/manta/agha. wreck havoc in sphere.

Look at the poor kda they got on mirana, they have no idea on how to play mirana lol
Just kidding lol

Necrobook has always been an op item, but they are expensive and high risk too.... as well for a team push to work you need at least two or three of them, that means it have to be your team carries's first big item... and they are pretty weak level 1

All that said, you cannot pick teams that have no counter pushing power like what alliance team deed in TI 3, pick a furion dog counter push lane and buy back all the time, killing all fun of dota lol

buyback has been nerfed to ground since.

Truth plz

forgive his forgetness.
prolly busy saving the world. ain't that the truth?

He'll probably reject anyways but at least answer me :(

don't see why would you reject unless you dislike someone on a personal level.

reject cuz of low skill ;P

honestly if I were to reject you, that would probably be because of your shit avatar.
