Yeah, Wings are incredible. And they're so unorthodox. Just looking at the drafts, you'd never think they'd win, but they're just that good.

Once again bloody fucking hell wings. Shadow Demon and Elder Titan plays their part as support like very well. Medusa is also on point with his stone gaze. Fuck people who votes Huskar for MVP.

But seriously what the hell is wrong with ppd today. This isn't the ppd I know. I could feel the desperation when he picked Ns. EG had their own style used against them and they didn't have a plan B. Wings have completely obsoleted the Eg low commitment turtle strategy with big Aoe teamfighters with lower cooldowns. Using tide as a poor man's (low farm is a good thing) void to make it impossible to defend was very creative.

A leak from China claims that Wukong will have these skills

Q. Low cooldown Aoe stun similar to tiny avalanche

W. Toggle that increases range of melee attacks in exchange for slower attack speed. Making your range shorter increases attack speed and movement speed

E. Ride a cloud to get flying movement

R. Turn into any npc, neutral, rune or tree. Infinite duration. Temporary double damage when deactivated. Can be revealed by Aoe spells

I hope it's nothing like the HoN version of Monkey King, that was overpowered as FUCK when it came out. It was kind of fun to play for awhile, though.

Dammit DC, why you play so good, my all Asian final is gone.

That's not really an exciting set of skills for a carry/semi-carry. Probably will makes him a very good ganker though.

Valve teaser gave me the impression is another illusion based hero.

After this TI, I'd be surprised if Icefraud doesn't rework illusions to do even less damage to structures - at the very least SD illusions.

Siege, something that should be exciting and a war of attrition, is made boring by just throwing SD illusions at the defenses mindlessly. This actually goes for all illusions, but especially SD ones because they are too strong.

I'm not a big fan of it either, but luckily the meta this patch is very flexible. Not every team does does the illusion spam.
