When a new version comes, expect for change logs, bug fixes, and of course, another bug on a hero. Do you enjoy using the bugs you know and use it to win? I used two bugs before on different versions, I forgot the exact version. The first one was on lord of olympia, when you have a cranium basher equipped on him, the hammers he throws will be bigger and a higher chance of stun than on melee attackers wearing the same item, that was on an old version of 'Defense of the Ancients'. Another one was on obsidian destroyer, when you equip the power treads, this bug is on the version with new requirements for power treads (the one with +10 changeable attribute). With that bug, you can use your auto cast skill as your main attack without consuming mana . As you change the attribute of power treads, obsidian destroyer regenerates mana (this bug seems better than using arcane ring). Keep on changing the attribute of power treads and it seems you have unlimited mana.
Can you share some bugs on heroes that you used? Have a nice day!

if I use the bug to win, it seems less desirable because they can not beat something with infinite energy. However it might be fun, it stun can not escape.The most annoying hero is Zeus, if you see someone who is dying they did not hesitate to deadly issue stance. I though I forget what hero have the bug, I just see someone using this bug for destroying the enemy mountain.

Yeah! Zeus has the most annoying hero because of his skill because there is no word Escape on this hero. His last skill is for those wounded one that who want's to survive in battle and regenerate life again. To be honest may2k8? At the first you will really enjoy playing a hero with bugs on it. But after a while when you finish the game, you will no longer find it good because when you use again the bug hero. There would be no challenges for you to encounter. The talks would be just for Win,win and win. Which is not good because for every battle it is not true that you will just win and win. I'm sure you need to experience sometimes to be a loser. In this case you will became inspired for you that you need to give your best as long as you can for every battle. I'm sure you will also choose to be lose on a particular game with a good match, than winning a match with untrilled game.

Yes, having Zeus in team fight can be an advantage sometimes, especially when equipped with good item built and when the player is good in handling of this hero. It is an advantage for team battle because when your allied hero is trying to kill an enemy then suddenly got escaped when the hit points got low, they can call Zeus to cast the fourth skil to give the final blow against the enemy, that was a sure kill when the hero has less hit points and attempting to go to their well of life in order to regenerate. But behind the strong skill of lord of olympia, he has low hit points and armor at the start because he was an intelligence type hero so the item build at the start should be perseverance for hit point and mana regeneration or vanguard for regeneration and armor. About the bug, where the normal attacks has a higher chance of stunning the enemy, there is also a chance that the enemy cannot escape when the attacks are purely stunning, similar with troll warlord's attack when equipped by two cranium bashers and under rampage, causing the enemy not to escape because of fast attacking and most of the attacks are stunning. When the target enemy of Zeus escaped, it is now the time to cast the fourth skill, the enemy can't even hide with it so there is no need to chase the enemy. About obsidian destroyer, it also depends on the player who controls the hero on what items must be equipped and on how to use (or shall I say abuse) the bug. Yes, that could be hard to defeat when the hero seems to have infinite energy, but it still depends on the player how he/she manage on casting the skills.
That could be fun on the first few times you use the bug on a hero but on further games, you will find it has no thrill in it because you experience winning always. Losing is also a part of the game. The real thrill on the game is when it is played fairly, both teams had done their best to fight without cheating and most of all, being a good sport or accepting defeat is important because it is just a game.

Hello there! You have a point, it is not suggested for young children as they might not take seriously about violence. Children playing fighting games are observed to be violent so games has also age limit, almost similar in rating for movies. Yes, thinking of someone as you are attacking in the game could also be fun and it helps to focus and win the game. The effect of cranium basher in DotA is to stun the enemy for a few seconds, causing the enemy not to move for a while, so it is a nice time to attack as the enemy is not moving until it is killed. Thanks for responding.

Hey friend? I agree with your comment! If child will have a chance to go near in computer games which is too violent it will change his/her thoughts regarding life. That's why other kind of games must be avoid to child and the right games for child are Tetris, text twist and etc. Well, I believe the tetris is a good kind of game that will help a child to develop mental and ability of thinking.
By the way, let's go back again in our topic regarding Dota-allstars. Well, hero who have a skill of bash really dominate the game like troll. If I'm not mistaken if troll already have a item of black king bar, monkey king bar, boots of travel, butterfly, satanic and buriza de kayo. I'm sure no one can defeat this hero and he will be the most storngert hero than the others. Troll have the ability to stun that's why there would be no one who can able to move when troll is attacking. Besides troll have the most fastest attack in Dota-allstars, that's why he really deserve to be the strongest for me. So if you will imagine if Zeus can able to have a chance to stun, it will surely hurt the enemy and will make a good way for them to be defeated. By the way, if I'm not mistaken my cousin told me that Troll can be able to be defeated by Davion Dragon Knight when having same item and there would be no avatar for two of them. I do not know if it's true because I haven't see that match.

You are right. The games that a child can play must be choosed wisely, in such cases, games that can enhance thinking is suggested for children. As you had mentioned, text twist, tetris, and other puzzle games are recommended for them. They can only play other games such as DotA when they are on the right age, when they understand about violence and on how not to apply it in reality. Yes, the bug on lord of olympia can be compared with troll warlord in a normal game. When troll warlord has two cranium bashers and under rampage, it has also a high chance of killing the enemy without escaping surely, the enemy can't run away due to the stun effect and the fast attack speed when under rampage, causing troll warlord to attack fast and makes consecutive stunning attacks so the enemy can't escape, surely. Talking about the bug on lord of olympia, it has also a high chance of stunning the enemy, when the enemy got away, he can give the last skill that brings damage to all opponent heroes in the map, similar range with silencer's 'global silence' where all the opponent heroes will not be able to cast any skill for a few seconds. I haven't watched the fight between dragon knight and troll warlord but I guess, it is true that Davion can defeat troll warlord. Based from my observation, when Davion is transformed to an ice dragon, the last skill at level 3, he can make the hero slow down even the enemy is under the spell of helm of dominator, which makes the hero to speed up. It can be concluded that the normal hits done by ice dragon can make troll warlord slow down even under rampage. If it is, that could be an advantage for Davion to win against troll warlord.

Well there was one bug with Windrunner's ultimate that was devastating. We did it in some pub games for fun. I think it eventually got fixed.
