I don't know where I've seen it but there's a video somewhere (couldn't find) of an Enigma ulting a whole team on the Radiant Top T2 Tower, Tide blinking in and Lich ulting. But someone popped a pipe (or more than one, can't really remember) and very little damage was dealt.Tide ult + Lich ult = tough combo in team fights. as long as the other 3 teammates are competent, #winning.
For the same reason its hard to use a Wiimote when you're close to the sensor. If you're clicking too close you need to be more precise about it. I can't phrase it right, someone with a better sense of math/geometry/physics should help me here.I know, but still it's frustrating. I don't really know why hooking at close range feels harder than doing it from far away.
And about the stun counter on alchie: if you play him enough you'll end up counting on your head anyway so it just screws the learning curve at first but later on you won't need it.
