Abusing Roshan Daily, Nightly And Ever So Rightly

Ok the title may be a bit inappropriate :/ I'll change it if I have to but plz mercy

So as we all know, [{Spectre]] is the best Aegis carrier in the game, but is one of the worst Heroes ever for actually taking down Roshan. That's ok, we have a team.

My idea was to build a gank-heavy team that can take Roshan basically whenever he's up from about 10 minutes, and use the gold from Roshan and ganks to snowball into a lead. If this doesn't work, you still have turtling powers with lots of counterpush. The good thing about my idea of a lineup is that it is very flexible.

#1 - Spectre

#2 - Storm Spirit/ Queen of Pain/ Night Stalker - you know, ganking mids.

#3 - Axe/ Centaur Warrunner

#4 - Dazzle/ Treant Protector/ Abaddon

#5 - Lion/ Vengeful Spirit

It's pretty easy to pick these based on the enemy lineup and any potential counters they may have. The lineup is strong at most things - ganking, ricing, fighting, turtling. Its major weakness is pushing, but Spectre is a natural Manta Style carrier anyway.

So, playstyle and items.

Spectre - Slahser's way, except **** Radiance. Terathiel's way! Urn into HotD into casual Point Booster (for a Skadi later) into Yasha/Manta. Pick up a Diffusal Blade if needed. The reason for the Helm is to give you a farm mechanism which involves jungle stacks and a Wildwing Ripper. Works boyz. Basically, you build cost efficient items plus some early tank and sustain to make Aegis relevant.

The Mek is bought by the #4, who can also make use of jungle stacks. They will also get a Medallion to assist with Roshan, unless the #5 is Venge in which case she gets the Medallion.

An Assault Cuirass will later be picked up by the offlaner, and a Shiva's Guard by the mid - except if you went Night Stalker, in which case he gets the AC and the offlaner gets Shiva's.

Weaknesses - the trilane is very weak. Hence, it might be worthwhile to ban strong offlaners that can mess up Spectre's farm, although it's not devastating as she will be getting a lot of gold from non-creep sources.

Against meta Heroes, it fares pretty well, with the exception of Troll - he would make a good first ban. (side note... a 6-slotted Jugg solo ults Spectre. 5 seconds later, she's taken 500 damage. I did the math. ****ing hilarious.) I imagine the drafting stage would look like...

First Pick
Troll
Tide
Storm
#5
Timber
Variable
#3
#4
Variable
Spectre

Second Pick
Troll
Storm
#5
#3
Timber
Tide
#4
#2
Variable
Spectre

If you can't get Storm before they have a chance to, pick the ****er.

I dunno, it sounds like a lot of theory requiring good coordination. Thoughts?

I've done it for you. I know you're trying to come off as funny, but that title was more than a little creepy. 8{(

Mine is much, much better. 8{3

Awrighty, accepted :D

My sense of humour is very unique, let's use that.

As we all know, spectre is not the best aegis carrier in the game because it is storm spirit. =D

Personally i think its way too risky. Storm needs a bit of items and can be a liability if shut down, spectre is easy to shut down and farms slow anyway, and the offlaners are dependant on getting blinks too.

Personally i like spectre more with a fighter in the mid who can win fights like brew, and in my personal experience spectre without radiance can be a bit underwhelming.

Best support when doing Rosh? Oracle the disarm and physical dmg amplification will melt Rosh on any lineup.
