Treant - Seriously Underrated!

Treant is an okish hero. Nerfed like hell , buffed a bit this time though.
He is a great support. Lacks in damage.

I usually go arcanes into a mek, followed by pipe. At this point no one on my team dies.... period.

This hero is probably broken.

He's so awesome...

Agreed, Treant has awesome Last Hitting powa, tankiness and can keep heroes alive from anywhere on the map. He seems like he would work well in fast pushing strategies.

Treant Protector is my favorite support, I always play him as hard support because Treant don't have to care about survival, when he can cast spells whole fight from invisibility, also free smoke-like ganks, + Living Armor making someone unkillable at lower levels is enough to love him. If you are dying as Treant you are doing something wrong or opposite team have wards/gem, but I know that people don't even think about countering Nature's Guise cause nobody uses it which is bad I think.

I like his denying power with 100+ damage, safe warding with invis, and invis ulti making enemy "why I can't move omgz why I died".

My fav build is E Q E W E R E Q Q Q R W W W, so you max heal/block first (using this skill for blocking dmg is even better than healing sometimes), then max invis to make it spamable and OP long, then W which I use mainly for slow. When I have money I build aura items such as Ring of Basilius, Vladmir's Offering, Drum of Endurance, Arcane Boots etc.

Blink Dagger is also completly troll (but not necessary) item on him, as you can tp from bunch of trees to another and use ulti when enemy is thinking that you wait on the other side.

Edit. Sry if something is not clear but I don't have my PC for like 2 weeks and im writing from my smartphone.

I'd only ever played him once with the old global heal aura, but Living Armor is much more fun :)

They had Elder Titan and Enigma, so I did eventually go Blink Dagger so I could position and stop the Black Holes more easily, together with Arcane Boots, Drum of Endurance, Vladmir's Offering (we had Axe and Chaos Knight) and Blade Mail (hilarious watching Clinkz trying to orchid gank that :)). Had a Pipe of Insight too, but found it a bit difficult to be in position to use it since I couldn't be too near the rest of the team in case of Black Hole.

He does pack a pretty serious right click with plenty of levels and equipment too...hardly ever see him picked thou!

I've just played a Treant Protector match with Elder Titan and Jakiro: our initiations were glorious. I would really love to see him played in competitive more often, even as a carry (maybe not the main one, but still someone who can have some impact thanks to his farm): he can both work as an effective carry in aggresive trilanes thanks to his Living Armor which makes tower dives easy as hell, or solo the hard lane soaking up experience if possible (though I don't recommend this).

I really like rushing a Necronomicon on him, it's very efficient in terms of STR and mana gain and helps a lot while pushing (as if your Living Armor isn't enough to solo destroy tier 1 towers); the Mekansm also works but I don't recommend buying a Blink Dagger as a first item because there are plenty of Heroes that can grant better initiations.

Right? I don't see why everyone says that he's nothing special, because he really is a good hero. He's the only hero who can heal towers, and he can initiate without having to invest in items, so you're free to buy wards and other team items without your inventory taking a hit.
