[Discussion] AA, some blue dude with dumb lore that throws snowballs in General Discussion

    I have really taken a liking to this hero lately. He's amazing in lane, allowed to play somewhat greedy, doesn't really need much to function and hits like a truck. What items do you guys make? Your skill builds? I'm just trying to open some new doors. I normally play him in the 5 ish role. Tips tricks and suggestions?

      the only snowball thrower is and will always be tuskar, aa is just a wanabee.

          So he plays dirty lol, I don't mind. Why the rise of him being played in the professional scene. Just the lane presence? Or was his ult effecting something besides roaming alch >_> Where is relentless when you need him.

          Neme

            Sick hero vs lineups with healing core ( chen, enc, necro, dazzls, alchemist ) , great vs morf ( as he cant regain his hp ). Max your third skill ( so underrated in pubs ) after that max first or second (depends on what lineup you are against )

            For items. He practicly need arcane ( tranq ) , orb of venom, medalion and agha. That is aa six sloted.

            Worst Idea is to play aa as 5 core. He need levels, he need to be able to get that agha, so buying wards,dust, smoke isn't great on him, but when you play with 4 carry heroes, you have to do that. I'd rather play him as semi carry , the full time supdorf ( 4 ~3 role? )

              Just rush tranquil/mana boots -> aghanim, it's because of his ulti
              The one who picked the first time is Dendi, using this hero at mid.

                Orb/Medal? This is a thing? Ohhhh lawd...

                Edit: Opinion on Urn? Euls?

                Are phase or treads situation or just a theory. lol...

                  Euls is good, but it delays your aghanim, which is a must. 17 sec, of no reg? Trrads can be good, if your team don't need a lot of mana. Phase, I really don't know.

                  Urn is good item, but I hardly believe that on one will get it faster then you.

                  Also : when using ulti, use it, then immediately tp to a nearest twr/creep. Due to mechanics of your ultimate, it will his faster with visable part, which will make harder to evade.

                  Quick maffs

                    If i am not mistaken the lore says AA is the most powerful thing in dota universe.

                      AA created enigma with part of himself, we know that black hole > everything, so AA > everything.

                        Brown boots and wards. Euls is awesome on him, I also see a lot of people straight up rush Aghs and it works depending on lineup.

                          Yeah, the lore on this guy is pretty dumb lol. I remember when he was bottom tier support, and I read the lore on this dude, just laughed.... and then snap picked kotl because it was good at the time.

                            Is AA split pushing viable? My friend basically builds an escape item and when a teamfight arises in another lane he ults and hits them all, since he's very far away split pushing it's able to hit a big aoe and we get towers from it.

                              Dont get Euls! Get Atos that way he takes dmg before he gets frozen

                                Use it in a armor debuff/heal debuff lineup: http://dotabuff.com/matches/573148040

                                Very OP against a timbersaw/omni/ combo. We went all anti armor and they just silly melted all over the place.
