I just did a Dirge trilane a few games ago and was fun as hell. His decay takes 4 str and some supports start off with less than 12? I think. One of my first Trilanes. Ended up fucking up though because I've never done a trilane and didn't know as dirge what I should be doing when I wasn't harassing. I'm guessing pulling camps while VS should've been ganking, but she was pulling which led me to kind of waddle around with my undead dick in my hands.

Was gonna try a trilane Siren/Dazzle/Undying later today. I think that has some huge potential to be ugly mid game. Does dazzle heal wave synergize with undying? I know it does with Siren Illusions, but can you imagine the area control with tombstone and weave. Maybe go SF mid sacrifice top and have DS jungle.
Do you idle in the FOH Channel? I'm always up for trying some crazy shit, my name there is famasfilms

Yea I idle as ZeroPen, but I guess I'll change it back to Penance. Ever since WoW came out that name has been taken. I got it from FFX PAL edition and it was much rarer back in the day. I'll probably be on around 5 EST

Jeeesuss, that Ogre Magi. You're in range of Fire Blast? fuckin dead.

Shame that the casters sound like they are talking through a tin can.
Audio is perfect for me. Probably an issue with your sound card/headset. Update Flash / drivers / Chrome if you use that.

I think we're going to start seeing more Ogre Magi since he is really good at tri-laning. He's super tanky and has a great set up stun, in certain situations he's better than someone like Shadow Demon.

Ogre always was a great hero. Great range on the fire blasts and liquid fire, bloodlust buffs your carries, and multicast (when it procs) does awesome damage. Plus, as has been pointed out, he is really durable even early on.

Ogre has 2 issues, in terms of competitive power. First, his cast point is fairly shitty. That makes his stun, while having good range and no projectile, still not THAT good against heroes that have quick escapes(AM, Naix's rage, BKB in general, blink daggers, puck's orb etc). The second aspect is that he's melee, and while that doesn't necessarily is that bad, it can be an issue when it comes to early game fights where autoattack makes up a large amount of your damage yet Ogre Magi will rarely contribute unless he engages very deeply and shit. This is seen for example when fighting as an agressive trilane at the pull or something, generally most supports are able to get 2-3 autoattacks off from range before the enemy makes it into tower range, possibly more, but Ogre Magi has a lot of trouble doing that. Another weakness I didn't list is if you're getting pushed early and losing, Ogre Magi does very little. His only AoE is pretty terrible, costs a lot of mana and doesn't do much dmg and not very fast, your only hope is that you Fireblast multicast a few times.

On the upside, he's very tanky(but so is Jakiro for example, with more range). The biggest strength of Ogre Magi however is Bloodlust, which is easily one of the best support spell in the entire game, especially lategame if you can make it to lvl 16(not that easy however if you're playing support in a trilane). But even at 11, you can generally keep 3-4people permanently blood lusted, and the massive move speed and attack speed boost makes a huge difference for about everything at that point. It's especially good on melee carries who can make great use of the movespeed to chase people down and stuff.

Overall I think he's an ok hero, he might trend for a bit but I don't think he'll become a stable pick.

This guy needs chest. I'm mainly looking for the wings for QoP so the white ones forget what they're called. But the brown ones have overall cooler shit in them.

Divine Shaper are the ones with the chance to have the ruby web wings for QoP. I gave up on opening the twisted wood chests when I got the Metal Gear hat for BH x 3 out of 4 chest openings ;/

I've heard of stories like this. I've actually been SUPER lucky and haven't gotten a single duplicate item from chests.
