Most Overpowered Hero at Launch? in General Discussion
Clubs

    I got into an argument with my friends about this topic and was wondering what you guys thought: which hero was the most absolutely broken at launch? My go-to is Monkey King but I'm wondering what other people's arguments are.

      I heard Earth Spirit was a disaster to play against.

        Centaur Warrunner by far

        honorable mentions Elder Titan (w win lane), Monkey King soloing entire teams, Earth Spirit stun with E, Primal Beast as a whole, or Phantom Lancer Heart of Tarrasque Meta with invis W

          Patch 7.0 - Monkey King. There's no one else. Closest second can be anyone between - Grimstroke, Marci or Pangolier.
          He was over-powered for multiple reasons.
          - His skills were busted.
          - On his release, there were bugs with his skills, that made his skills ignore armor and do other crazy stuff.
          - He was the first hero with weird mobility (tree dance).

          Till now there has not been a single hero as over tuned as MK. Unless ofc, you go to Warcraft-Dota history, and there's Gambler.

                MK ofc was the most OP. Boundless strikes for 3 k dmg with 3 items.

                    Definitely Mars, i remember i was fountain farming heroes on my 1st game as Mars
                    dude was unkillable with front damage reduction and spearing enemies away from him
                    also has high base armor
                    It had 60% winrate on the first day of release

                      in terms of winrate like I said, day 1 centaur warrunner winrate was 67% global
                      you people don't remember how busted that shit was, you'd run with any STR item and half HP an entire team and stun them for roughly 2 seconds, then just f u c k i n g curbstomp them and you were an unkillable machine of death.

                      you could activate your tranquils, vanguard was on a slower dota with slower timings on a hero that basically shat on every single safelaner
                      there was no way to break his passive, atos wasn't nearly a good counter against him and was a shit item, nothing was a counter of that kunt except maybe 5 heros being thrown on him

                      Mars on launch was busted as shit but at least nu-dota has broken burst heros that can still one up him out, or you got riki builds that at least offer SOME measure
                      MK was probably the closest to how busted that shit was

                      this was 10 years ago though

                            monkey king and marci were the most broken

                            Altaire

                              Either centaur, arc, or earth spirit
