Unless both flags are the same, this also gives an innate advantage to one team; for example, if one guy has a health flag and the other guy has a mana flag... well, the guy with the health flag is going to have an easier time.
I...I honestly think this may be the worst build for UB I've ever seen. From going with Ooze and spit, to increasing foul grasp, to not getting a single point in diseased claw, to almost maxing out speed up but not getting acclimation (which is insane against spike based DGs, IE everybody who isn't another UB), this build is just bad all around. Of course, you don't know any better, so it's fine. Just check out the guides in the stickied topic, or Transitive's guide; they hav

[quote who="DeadMG" reply="1" id="2245066"]People don't run from Spit in the same way. You can't fail to cast Spit to keep everyone at bay. For the Rook, you can part-cast Hammer Slam endlessly, and keep melee DGs at bay endlessly. Once you've cast spit on just one opponent, that's it. Maybe he will run away, or maybe he will just accept the damage to just him and keep going or take a heal pot, and it's not burst damage in the same way. People run from Hammer Slam endlessly.[/quote

Actually, it is very easy to come back from a defeat on Cruciible. With just a little intelligent play, if the enemy bought giants you can farm up to level 20 and artifacts, lock your portal, buy giants, and win. As long as you keep your portal constantly locked, your health crystal is so close to your last tower block that you can easily spam AoE moves on cooldown, never die, and generally distract the giants too much for them to actually hit you. Basically... you simply decimate the enemy f

I remember one thing that happened last game... I was killing a Tower Rook as UB, and I was pushing him back into the natural towers. So I told my ally "Fireball now!" But he didn't want to get hit by the towers. So after potting, charging in, getting sniped, Wrath of God'd, Boulder Roll'd, and hit by towers and STILL barely standing, with rook at 300 HP left (800 when I asked for the fireball) he refused to fireball because he didn't want to step in the towers range for a couple seco
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="14" id="2244402"] Mines can be avoided? Yeah, if the Regulus is dumb enough not to throw them on you... Snipe is nice but it's not a 1v1 skill. Angelic fury is nice but it's not a 1v1 skill either. Snipe is good for people who are running, that's all. But you must've done enough damage in the first place to get them to run. And angelic fury doesn't get good till late game when your attack speed's high and you at least have a mage slayer/ashkandor.
Why is the minion with the health almost entirely green considered almost dead? The more green you have on a DG bar, the more health you have, so reversing that for the minions is dumb. Also, they should make the numbers on the HP and MP bars appear constantly.
[quote who="Falanx" reply="10" id="2244466"]Honestly the king of Synergy is a well played Erebus. Every single skill he has, short of his Night Walker ones, are easily just as beneficial to your teammates as they are to you. Bite is a massive debuff, and if you've got a team working together well enough it's pretty rare for someone to survive even it's 3 second duration. Also being that the people I play with play Oak and Sedna it's a quick way to drop a ton of damage o
[quote who="dgl-DalzK" reply="11" id="2244473"] Despite the fact that UB is generally considered one of the stronger demigods, it's Oak/Sedna that is probably the best 2v2 team in that situation. Why? Because of synergy. Thats really, really debatable.[/quote] Well, true, but I was trying to think of 2v2 teams where one sounded good but another was better because of synergy. Sedna+Oak can be pretty crazy in 2v2's, anyway. Unless you are saying Sedna and Oak aren't be
[quote who="ChromeWeasel" reply="21" id="2244451"][/quote] So basically, you are saying that my strategy will only lose to the enemy double-teaming me without any reinforcements?( all that does is open up a different (though possibly less valuable) lane to creep.) I'll respond with "No shit, sherlock." If I'm getting double teamed, I'm not going to keep the lane. But if I'm getting double teamed without an ally, it means either my allies can push in another lane

Dude, are you insane, or do you really just enjoy posting bullshit I can rip into so easily? Ooze is way better at creeping than spit is (obviously), and as for controlling a lane, it's pretty simple: Get ~3k gold in health items (not hard at all, that's easily obtainable just by creeping to level 6) and sit in the lane. That's really all

Well, you have to deal damage to get the gold, but the gold from early creeps is, while nice, still not particularly impressive (now priests, those things are like treasure chests of EXP and gold.)

All I know is that with spit/ooze, I'm not getting points in what I need, Spit is making most enemies fall back (making Ooze massively redundant) and I've got so few skill points in other skills I can't
