[DOTA Revenge!] Get even with bad teammates

[Lizh0up]

I present a mini-strategy guide worth reading as well as expanding your knowledge of all things DOTA!

We all have played [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with bad teammates; the Zeus who only uses his ult to steal your hard-earned kill, the SA who wont break invisablilty to help you in a fight, the teammate who takes the regen rune in the river when you obviously need it more, allied Wind-walkers who ditch you at the first sign of trouble, the Omniknight who refuses to heal anyone but himself, players who call solo and cry if they dont get it, players who take any and all leavers items for themselves, (does anyone really need to have two treads?)

Have you encountered any of these bad teammates in your DOTA career? Do they make your blood boil? Do you want revenge? Its time to take a stand.........its time to shout....

NO MORE!

My guide will help you get even without resorting to dishonorable tactics (stealing allies items) by utilizing your superior knowledge of all things DOTA! The time is now!

Below you will find tried and true examples to kill your teammates in more than one creative way. Revenge is a dish best served DOTA.

If you are:

Furion: Someone really bugging you? Simply use sprout on on your teammate and watch them sit immoblile for 4 seconds while the other team pounds on them. If you have good micro you can summon treants to block your teammates pathing as he tries to run and laugh as the other team finishes the bastard off while you make like a tree and "leave."

Tiny: Level 4 Toss is the Equalizer. If you know how to use Toss effectively then don't hesistate to chuck bad teammates to hell! 5 enemy players bolting down on your mid tower while your teammate sits there and waits for you to tank the damage so he can greedily cleanup? Use that 1100 range and toss the jerk into all 5 of them. Now he becomes the tank and you laugh as he insta-dies before he even lands. Is your ally a coward and runs from major battles after taking 2 hits from a creep? Toss the bed-wetter back into the action! Toss him into the enemy firebush. If he comes into your lane to blatantly steal creep gold, Toss him into the creep pile. The possibilities are endless!
Bonus Trick: Toss is also useful if he tries to last hit your tower for gold. Simply toss the gold-digger into the tower and get the 400+ moolah for youself since Toss damages towers! Lastly, is he running towards the fountain with less than 100 life? Cut him off at base and toss him to kill him yourself! Carry a Tp scroll so you can always beat him home. "ROCK" on Tiny!

Chen: If your ally doesnt know how to command stop your teleport he will be doing some serious walking. Simply follow the jerk to any tower and cast your GG nuke spell on him and watch as he flies back to base. If he comes into your lane again, repeat as necessary. Works best on jerks who call solo lanes. If you want to spend a little gold to keep his butt in check stock up on teleport scrolls and clarity poitions and follow him to every tower early [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Laugh when all your allies and enemies are getting their ultimates and he's still level 1.

Earthshaker: Fissure rules. It has long range, good CD, good nuke damage and can block any hero including your bastard teammates. Is the jerk running away from a hero about to finish him off? Does he need just one more nuke or a couple of whacks before he dies? Simply block his path home with fissure and laugh as he looks upon your Berlin Wall before he dies. You can be pretty creative with fissure, just remember the golden rule: "Block the jerk-off's walk."
Bonus trick: At your [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] point you can toy with him some more by spamming a well-lined fissure from one end of the well to the other thereby blocking his healing path. 8 more seconds of him waiting is better than none.

Pugna: Are you facing a team of enemy nukers? Use Ethereal and make that bad ally dissappear! He will be slowed and weak against all magic spells while you ditch him and he tanks all the nukes. Is there a Lion bolting towards you and him with his ult and a dagon? Turn your ally into a ghost and make him the bulls-eye while you run to live another day. Also, works great when hes running with low health while being chased. Ethereal him and watch as the fast enemy Cheetas catch up and devour the slow turtle. Ah, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Bane Elemental: Give your jerk ally bad dreams with Nightmare! If you see a gank coming, Nightmare your pesky ally and run while he falls asleep on the job. He will have a rude awakening. Even better when he's being chased with low [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Nightmare him and watch as the enemy owns him when he wakes or your own spell damage kills him first! Once you get a large mana pool don't hesitate to spam him alseep the rest of the game! Sweet dreams are made of these.....(Eurythemics)

Pudge: This one takes timing and skills but once you pull it off it will be the ultimate revenge!. Once you have level 4 hook stock up on a few tangos and a tp scoll. Eat yourself into a dead end with tangos and wait for the trees to grow back blocking you off. Do a bit of acting and pretend you are a noob. Ping yourself and say "WTF?" "Im stuck!" The jerk ally will come to you and laugh at your noobiness and flame you being worse than him. While hes typing bad words, launch that level 4 hook and reel him into your deadend! Simply use your teleport scroll and return home while he becomes stuck the rest of the game. If he's a KS/item stealing bastard your other teammates will not buy tangos and free him. Laugh to your hearts content as he becomes stuck in jerk-prison (wind walkers can't escape from this one ). If you want to have more [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] tell the other team to check the woods where he's stuck and get a free kill. This will free him of course and hell be wise to your trap so only let the other team kill him or free him yourself if he bows down and says "Please be merciful, your name here."
Bonus trick: If the guy you hooked into your deadend knows the -unstuck command, quickly run back to him as soon as he types it and hook him out of the trees. He will be a sitting duck for the next minute and any nearby creeps or heros won't hesistate to rape him. If you have a large mana pool, spam that hook and continue to drag his carcass to anything that will kill him including neutral creeps and towers. Also you can use his body to tank creeps or a tower while you get extra gold or free tower hits. Remember to let him die before the -unstuck command teleports him back to base.

Bloodseeker: Ah, a silence ability that works on allies as well. Best used when that jerk Crystal Maiden on your team rushes in and tries to unleash a freezing field thinking he will get double kills. Turn the tide on this guy and cast a well timed silence and watch as he rushes two heros and creeps with his normal attack and laugh as he stands there and gets his come-uppins. Works even better on a suicide Techies! Silence the bastard and laugh as he gets destroyed before he can blow himself up.

Vengeful Spirit: Nether Swap is a two sided die. Once you get it maxed dont hesistate to run into 5 enemy heros pushing your lane and quickly switch yourself with your jerk ally. Type "l-o-l" as he takes the full brunt of 5 enemy heros. If you are low on life and running from enemies chasing you while your teammate laughs as you die ,doing nothing to help, teach that bastard a lesson and swith places with him. Who becomes the bitch now?! Now its your turn to laugh as he gets owned. Also, works at the enemies fountain. Simply run into the firebush and switch places with the bastard and watch him get toasted before he knows what happened.

Terrorblade: How could I forgot something as simple and great as Sunder? I cannot stress how great this spell is. Are you playing with stupid allies; the kind who never fight unless you tank the damage for them or break WW only to steal your kill? Make them useful and sunder the cowards when you get low on HP. Sunder has some many creative uses to get even and will even help you single-handedly win the game for your team. Use those images and push those towers! Once your life gets low run away to that jerk ally who would rather farm while his team does the hardwork and sunder his ass. Continue to push and laugh at the jerk as he curses you all the way back to the fountain. Is there an SA who follows you everywhere, leeching your exp and kills but wont break invis to help in battles? Make him your very own mobile regen and sunder him when you need full HP! Remember, if your teammate doesnt make good use of his hitpoints, you can!!
Bonus trick: If you see that jerk ally trying to tank the tower damage to get your tower gold, make sure you have low life and sunder him. Watch as the tower focus fires on him instead and he dies or has to run away while you get last hit gold!

Obsidian Destroyer: Be creative with Astral Imprisonment. Use it to make that pesky ally dissappear while you run from the enemy team and watch as he reappears to a full onslaught of angry enemy heros. Also, you can use it to deny him Exp from hero kills and creeps and tower gold since he vanishes from the game for a full 4 seconds. Fun stuff.

Faceless Void: The greatest thing about Chronosphere? It stops everything including jerk teammates! Use it to block your ally's pathway and watch as he runs into the corner edge and gets stuck for 3-6 seconds! Best used when the enemy team has lots of ranged heros and nukers since everyone can beat him down. Even better if he gets poisoned. Chronosphere him and help the enemy out by beating him into the ground yourself. Bonus points if he gets poisoned and you Chronosphere him perfectly so that you and all your enemies are kicking his ass at the same time. Simply Timewalk away like the sneaky ninja you are and live to type "l-o-l."
Bonus trick: Is that jerk ally coming towards your lane to steal your tower gold? Dont think so! Chronosphere him and the tower and laugh as you become the only one able to last hit for +gold. Even better if you Chronosphere him near HIS tower and steal it for yourself!

Other Tricks to get even....

If your opponent is:

Lucifer, Phantom Assasin, Queen of Pain, Venomancer: Once your jerk ally gets Shadow Striked or Doomed anything goes! Beat that bastard to your hearts content and force attack him while hes poisoned or doomed. Very funny if its early game or anytime he has full hitpoints and he doesnt know whats going on. Wait for him to get SS and hit him to your hearts content. Send him to the fountain and get more exp yourself. If you happen to be Sven, pump up that Gods Strength and go to town as you beat his butt into the ground. Even better if you happen to be a blinker like QoP and Antimage or anyone with faster move speed. Once he realizes that you are kicking his butt, chase him till he dies.

If you are Omniknight and he is Sven: Simply cast repel on him after he uses Gods Strength. Goodbye ultimate. Laugh as he tries to tank damage thinking he does more in return.

If you are Banehollow and your ally has a Double Damage rune: Let loose that Howl in his vicinity and laugh as you instantly nerf his DD for less bonus damage.

Kill the chicken.....

Chicken killing is a very honorable tactic! Do not be ashamed or feel sorry for your jerk ally's chicken. These tactics have worked in the past DOTA verisons but may be nerfed now.

Tiny: Toss that chicken into the air, where it lands, what do you care? Laugh as the toss damage kills it outright.

Bane Elemental: Give that chicken bad dreams of landing in a bucket at KFC. Freddy Krueger would be proud as the Nightmare damage kills it.

Bloodseeker: Turn that chicken into a bloodraged killer then laugh as he dies from getting too pumped up.

Pathblocking....

Pathblocking is a trick everyone can do to slow down or stop a fleeing jerk ally. Summoners such as Syllabear, Furion, Banehollow, Keeper of the Light, Broodmother and Fat heros such as Centaur, Tide, Pudge are especially good at blocking a fleeing heros pathway.
Be creative in the way you block and laugh when he tries to run past you but dies as the enemy heros catch up and finish him off. Keeper of the Light is quite good at this since he can Teleport his fast, huge glowing Ignius Fatus anywhere at anytime. Once you get level 2 ult with Keeper send both Igniuses to block his path and tell him to "eat balls," when he dies!

That about raps it up right now. I encourage everyone to try some of these strategies on people who deserve it (especially the Pudge one) and post replies. Also, please post strategies I may have missed as they will be greatly appreciated. I take full credit for my Pudge idea (although i'm not the first) and hope it helps you get even with bastard teammates.

Remember! Revenge is a dish best served DOTA!

I thought you could only sunder your opponents?

[monkeyninja]

j00ber runner.

You can sunder allies.

I thought you could only sunder your opponents?

Lol. Yeah, it works like Vengeful's Nether Swap.

i think this would make their temper even higher...you see,Majority of the DOTA players get angry when one of their teamates fails to do his role in the game and vice versa - majority of DOTA players are nicer to those who do their role using the best that they could...

One more thing - DOTA is made for making friends with others - it makes teamwork and a lot of fun - i think that even how cruel a player is, he/she is still your teamate and you should pay respect

What are you talking about? This is a thread about getting revenge and yes, making they lose their temper is what we're talking about here.

One more thing - DOTA is made for making friends with others - it makes teamwork and a lot of fun - i think that even how cruel a player is, he/she is still your teamate and you should pay respect

That doesn't apply in every single game. There are games that are bound to be a bad one, added with flames from players which think of themselves being better than others, I can see no respect for those kind of players.

Well, Lizh0up ,when talking about stradegy I some of them also. Like creep stopping. Get what I mean? When start, in 1:30 min ,creep start getting out ,you're ready to slow them down to gain more experience. Try to stop them down from the first of ur base tower until to the middle. Mainly people din't think of this, stopping creep helps u gained more level than enemy. When u creep were in mid, your tower is hitting enemy creep already. Thats mean it helps you to gained level even help in pushing. I noticed this when i was playing with Malaysia player (not a wcg player but he is one of the player who is a malaysia god player,a player who go play dota through the country with the name of Malaysia,get what i mean?)

[saint]

What the hell does creep stopping have anything to do with getting revenge on teammates?

[Sonata]

lol tiny u can trap ur own team mate behind the fountain u need 2 ppl, 1 with blink eg anti mage, toss an allied hero to anti mage and his stuck there xD. havent really tested dis, but i think it might just work?

Its nothing related to DotA Revenge. And btw all people in b.net already know this thing.

It will work if your friend is willing to help you or there is a leaver anti mage.
