Another day, another fun all random game to talk about. The great thing about the mode is that you constantly get weird games and you're almost always tossed out of your comfort zone. Such as this game:
Essentially my team got a very weird comp. Clockwerk, Omniknight, Beastmaster, Necrolyte and Lina. As you can see we had no carry, barely any pushing power, and zero dps. The enemy team was significantly better balanced with bullshit heroes like Batrider and Sven in the mix.
We kinda stomped the laning phase, which wasn't too hard considering we're all either gankers or supports. But the fun part was how we transitioned. At about the 10th minute we were all somehow grouped up together as 5-man dota pushing like mad. No one really said anything, guess everyone just realized that if we didn't push soon we were going to be completely boned.
Even more fun was how we would 5 man push straight into the enemy rax nonstop because we had so much heal. Necro heal spam + Omni heal spam + mek + 2 arcane boots = neverending push. So even if it took us so freaking long to kill towers... the enemy just couldn't stop us because of the nonstop heal. The many times they tried to stop us, it basically amounted to all of us running around in circles healing each other while they slowly died to whatever small amount of dps we could put out. So fights would take forever, but halfway through the enemy would realize they couldn't kill a single one of us but at the same time... couldn't escape. Not to mention once any of them got below 50% hp, Lina or Necro could instagib them.
So we did this for every single lane. It was hilarious. Neverending push with the all random heal sustain comp.
