All random game-- double rook?!?

Just for kicks...

By yeahneil on January 3, 2010 8:11:15 PM from

So, I've been (and will continue) playing a lot of 'all random' games for the sheer JOY and diversity (hence the joy) that it brings. For me, it's the closest thing that I can do to play a variable game that is mostly unexpected and new short of: a complete favor balance, or super nerf of BoF (while those two may actually be the same thing).

Oh yeah, the OP. So the all random game turned out to be all assasin: my team [da, beast, rook(me)] vs. rook, rook, tb. At first I was thinking "props to those guys for not conceding." But after we won I kept wondering, could double rook be super-awesome-fantastico?!!!? Yes, I know, it depends on the opposing team demi and other team demi, but in a situation where all hope isn't lost, could the double rook dominate? We were 3v3 cata btw, and it was a fun game regardless.

Also, would you go two towers- one tower one hybrid- two slams? Which combination would be the most deadly? A giant tower farm in one lane or double slam in your face And please don't say "it is unlikely so why even discuss"-- diversity for this game is the only thing that makes it fun anymore, so I'm becoming more open to doubles and triples in games if it makes it more fun.

Double slam would be so overpowered it's not even funny to think about it. Not to mention 2 boulder rolls can lock you if they are timed correctly.

I join an all random game where the teams would have

1) random general

2) random assassin

3) random

Made doubles less of a chance and would make a better structure team.

Depends on opponents... I'd choose double towers. I'm a little bummed that the community hated (hates) doubles of the same character in regular games. It seems to be our 1 standing community rule (no doubles). I find those games quite a bit of fun.

Double hammer slam would be the most deadly, though. so long as you have the stuns, 2 1700 hp nukes should do some damage. But 2 tower rooks would be the most annoying.

agreed. all random games are sweet so are doubles /triples... but I prefer them through random myself.

double rook, the few times I've played it.. can be devastating. slam / towers. Each farm up a side gogo.

I agree. Doubles can be fun, perhaps mainly due to the fact that I normally don't play in a game with doubles.

A tower lane on each side with a third player (preferably a general) bouncing back and forth is pretty much unbeatable. Once you max out towers you start maxing hammer slam, I just don't know what could stop it if both rook were good.

Double Rook is actually a Competetive build. I used to play Oak(or UB) /Rookx2.

Double hybrid ftw of course.

yeah I agree Pacov, losers complaining about doubles or even random coz you know there might be a double:O

I think doubles are fine if there are doubles on both sides, otherwise it's kind of cheap.

LOL- we actually did almost ecactly this today (2 rook, oak- vs. sed, ere, reg) except...... both rooks weren't good (i was rook for fun, i'm not great with him). While we did win, both of us rooks died twice mid-late by being focused 2v1 or 3v2 capping their portal (ere stun and pounce low cooldown + my tp fake still needs work). So I guess it is very strong as long as the other player keeps it even or better! Man those towers went down quick though son!!

I'd pretty sure it's beatable but yes very powerful.

Minion builds would probably work, and a good queen would rape them.

Nope Its Hammmer Time!

QoT vs. Two slams = roadkill

Yum just had this double hammer= dead Da and Sedna...no chance to even heal lol

Edit: also went against double rooks they used towers so we couldnt even go near them

I agree the all random games are really fun. I usually try to join them anytime i see them. i had one game where everyone on our team was queen and it was so much fun. We dominated that game. It felt very overpowering.

The hammer rooks would scare me alot more than anything. If they got a good aim on boulder roll then its gg. Personally i dont mind doubles. I played in a game with a pre-made once, they had 4 regulus, all had snipe and all had heavens wrath. It was somewhere along the lines of 3k-4k damage just at level 1. We kept dying alot but we pulled it together and managed to beat them.

Be glad they didnt go with 24 mines

can you say deathzone?

ROFL. definitely did that shiro.. on exile, had 4 regs on our team doin some weird all random or quads can't remember. anyway, got the crystal flag that's closest to enemy base, set up 24 mines right outside of it, and proceeded to snipe down the citadel

We had our own little fortress and they couldnt do anything about it

LOL that sounds like fun the enemy were prob like screw you regs....screw you.

4 snipes, 4 angelic furies = instant death for someone 5 seconds into the game. If you could coordinate this very well, it would be a great team.

I reckon 4 of anything would be tough really lol

I reckon Rook is a really good character once you learn to use him... but most people cant >>

On a side note I started a game with 3 Rooks versus a TB, UB and Reg. But then it desynced
