not every hero needs to be able to 1v1... there are almost 100 heroes in dota... dont you think it would be fine for something a little outside the norm... with a NEED to aim multiple heroes rather than a solo one? It would add a new dynamic, most heroes have some 1v1 potential, but there are none based solely on this sort of ganking or teamplay...

There is a reason why not even 1 of the +90 heroes is based SOLELY on fighting 2 or more heroes, and here is the reason.

It doesn't work. It simply doesn't work. Your team ganks 1 enemy hero - you are useless. You are attacked by 1 enemy hero - you are useless. That effectively means you would have to stick to your teammates all the time to avoid such situations, and you would be useful only in large teambattles. That simply doesn't work. I appreciate the idea, but it doesn't work.

Everyone's beloved Lich, Kel'Thuzad is actually hero that is created to fight 1vs2 due to his ultimate CHain Frost. It jumps from one hero to another, so is you catch two heroes alone (without creeps) => Double Kill.

Best regards, Genn.

But his spells CAN work on a lone hero. I''m saying there is no hero made ONLY for the purpose of fighting 2 or more enemies. Heroes like Lich, Leshrac, Earthshaker etc are made for teambattles, but they can also face a lone enemy and actualy do something. This hero can't.

IF you use the example of lich, his spell is made for more than one hero, but if it hits one, deals very minor damage and is a waste of an ultimate.
This hero, you could use the ultimate on a sole hero, it would still deal 250 damage to this sole hero, and yes would be a waste of an ultimate, but this is the same concept as lich. And the 40% increased damage? That is something that would work against a single hero, and if used with the ultimate and/ or a spell from an item, does significant damage. He CAN do some thing 1v1, just not very much, which is like some of the heroes you gave examples of.

BAM!
