-Em=Imba?

-Em=Imba?

Now before you all either flame or praise me. I dont mean that the mode is imba, i just think some characters are imba in -em mode. Heres a couple.

Juggernaut- He levels quite fast and has less need to farm with the 2 gold every second. He gets his levels rather fast and starts owning after the 20 minute mark if played with the skill of a semi-retarted child.

Ursa- The gold isnt much of a factor here but he gets very imba with how fast he levels, as you all know once he has overpower and fury swipes maxed, ur royally screwed. He often dominates pubs.

Huskar- He can spam his life spears at level 7 and in -em thats after about 5 minutes if you soloed. You can pretty much auto attack and get good items.

Troll- Wow this ones annoying. Farm decent for 20 minutes and everyone dies.

Sniper- Abuses range and stun like mad and has easy time farming. Survive early game and youll blossom into beyond godlike.

Gondar- THE GAYEST!!!
He is not fair in -em!
He dominates early with WW and shuriken
Dominates Mid With WW shuriken track and SnY
Dominates late with WW track SnY and Jinada (shuriken isnt too useful now.
People who pick him in -em always own.

Meepo- 80% slow. The trick with meepo is to over level, easy to do with the bonus xp from -em.

Kael (not too imba.)
He gets to level 25 faster than anyone with his regen skill, and damage skill (for last hitting)
And he is the strongest leve 25 Int type.
Hes not meant to have all 3 orbs maxed before 30 minutes.

Harbinger- Once you farm lots of int items your orb and ult is too powerful.

Viper- His downside is supposed to be the need to farm. But that is eliminated when u play -em.

Broodmother- Supposed to be weak early game, too bad in -em early game last 10 minutes.

Nightstalker- Has void and hunter in the night maxed by first night which= rape.

Weaver- He gets core items too fast! unstoppable once he reaches certain point.



The super IMBAS!!!

Mortred- Gets to level 16 too fast, and also gets items too fast. Once she has items shes blink striking anything she sees, and you cant see her.
"Whoa why is my health going down?"
Thats a common reaction from a mortred attack. SHE RAPES!

Void- Has levels in no time, and once hes got that treads 2 bracers and a MoM, ur screwed. He doesnt need to stay in lane and farm after about 15 minutes cuz he can rape anything!

Basically it is late game heroes that will own -em easily because what they need is just time to get their core items, which in non em mode ppl have to work hard to get to late game and own. But in -em the time to get the gold is almost halved and the gold gained to buy those items comes quickly.

Coco i always agree with you :P

This is sooo true,
You frogot one.. Luna only needs 3 items to make her own, PT, Dom, and BFly. Heros that usually have to work for items do alot better where they are given to them. AKA 2 gold per sec.

Yeah, unfortunately thats just how it is. That's why noobs mostly play -em coz then they get to choose late game, item dependant heroes and own with them.

OT: Wouldn't it be cool to see a series of league games played with some funky game modes and see how the pros would play them. Stuff like -em, -sc, -mm, etc.

i think i will agree to some extent, it has other massive downsides.
in non em you hero would be imba throughout early game...
BIG WOOP
you blossom for 10 minutes, 2.5 of which are spent waiting for the first creep wave.

i avoid picking imba heroes in em..
and i don't have the attention span to play to many non em games.

I see people come back from being owned early game all the time. Its just when they leave.

Like mortred goes 1-6 1 time right?
then she goes BG
