In my previous blog entry, I tried to figure out the maximum amount of units you could cram into a single team, in order to maximize the damage of Earthshaker's Echo Slam. It was a lot of fun! Dealing with numbers that don't technically have a cap and seeing what their actual limits are is cool to me, so when I saw a comment about Lich's ult, I immediately knew the next question I had to ask.

Since it had been a while since I'd played a ranked match, I decided to go with my ultimate comfort pick: Lich. He may not be my BEST hero (an honor that goes to either Undying or Jakiro depending on which I've lost a game with most recently) but he's my most-played hero, and is one of the safest picks in the game, in my opinion.
