I'd be down to join a party sometime. I like playing with other people who communicate.
I had just about the best Zeus game I've ever had earlier today, despite losing. It was a 'hard' bot match, and our Lifestealer started feeding hardcore right off the bat and quit at minute 14. Our Io was doing alright but then disconnected for 6 or 7 minutes before coming back severely underleveled. My brother was playing Crystal Maiden and did a fairly passable job at it. (Second time on the hero, probably 10th game ever.) There was a Lion, but right when we started turning the tide and winning at about minute 35, he bought literally 100 couriers. Yep, he farmed 15,000 gold and bought flying couriers to load with regular couriers and have them follow him. I don't think he said anything. Meanwhile, I beat Tiny in the middle lane and proceeded to farm like crazy. I jungled, I stacked ancients, I got kills, and by minute 45 or so I had gotten a full loadout. Level 25 with Boots of Travel, Linken's Sphere, Heart of Tarrasque, Refresher Orb, Aghanim's Scepter, and a Rod of Atos to slow people down and beat them up. (Zeus needs to go faster.
) Despite our best efforts, we simply could not break into the enemy base. As our base slowly whittled away, I was tanking entire mega creep waves, evaporating three enemies at a time, and so forth.
Health: 3,996
Mana: 2,230
Armor: 11.75
HP Regen: 16/second (97 with heart)
Mana Regen: 28.9/second
Damage: ~235
Plus some various auras from my allies. It was actually enough mana regeneration to continuously cast Arc Lightning, and I was able to spam every spell on cooldown (including Refresher Orb and the Rod of Atos) and simply melt everyone. I think that's the first time playing Zeus where I actually had more mana than I could possibly use. Normally I start with a bottle whether I'm in the middle or not, since Zeus eats mana and shits thunder. In this case, I sold my bottle in order to pick up an aegis (then replacing that with Linken's Sphere), and managed to never run out of mana again.
But even a few hits from a mega creep per wave stacks up over time, and there were simply too many.
