Crystal Maiden Ownage!1!!!1

Okay so I played a match with crystal maiden and it was my best match ever. Here are the stats and if you like watching matches please watch the replay. (p.s: I got an ultra kill, coolest part by far)

To be honest, against their lineup, anything would do good. But good job, seems that you are improving.

I'm pretty happy with how it went. Clockwerk rage quit after he nearly killed me but didn't quite. But yeah, I hope I'm improving...

You totally rekt their sorry ***es with your Carry Maiden :D

Haha! Yeah, the power within CM.

You were owning but didn't buy Blink Dagger? 8{(

Tbh I always screw up blink :P

Next time!

But I bet your "ancient apparition" never got an ultra kill >:)

I can get an easy Double Kill from the other side of the Map while I Farm Creeps. I don't need an Ultra Kill! >8{D

The impressive thing there is only dieing once while obviously still being present in fights. Have to put that down to good positioning, so well played.

Ah, a comparison between Crystal Maiden and Ancient Apparition. I was just talking about this with my friends the other day.

Similarities:

The have similar skills:

Ice Vortex and Crystal Nova. The former has magic damage increase, the latter has damage. The former's radius is smaller, but has a shorter cooldown.
Cold Feet and Frostbite. the former is a stun, the latter is a anti-blink and movement thing. The former needs setup or a dumb opponent.
Chilling Touch and Arcane Aura. The former boots damage, the latter boosts mana, thus the former is better lategame, and the latter is better early game.

Ice Blast VS Freezing Field.

PROS

Freezing Field A LOT more damage Slows Scepter upgradable.

Ice Blast Instant shatter if bellow a certain health Global cast range Relatively short cooldown. Prevents healing

CONS

Freezing Field Channelled Very high manacost. (Think Pugna) You have to be in or close to the middle of the teamfight. Longer cooldown.

Ice Blast Small radius if cast from close-range Long time before shot actually comes, enemies can see it coming and get out.

STATS

CM has higher Strength gain
AA has higher Agility gain
CM has higer Intelligence gain
AA has higher movement speed.
