Miss those days when he was just Obsidian Destroyer lol!

Earthshaker was about to hit our 1%-Health Ancient with Enchant Totem as he backdoored, so we had to use our Gylph.
We were still able to win 4 minutes later (One of the toughest 4 minutes in my Dota experience ever, since LC and ES can 1-shot our Ancient with their high burst physical attack damage, Shadow Demon kept spamming illusions to distract us or to attempt to attack the 1%-hp Ancient, and Mirana’s kept using sneaky invisibility and escape abilities to backdoor us repeatedly!), after Doom killed the 310-Duel Damage LC and the Earth Shaker (Bought Back to Backdoor again) with the Refresher-Doom, and Enigma Black Holing the others for a team wipe.

Doom and Enigma were also able to prevent the enemy from getting Mega Creeps, because Doom would keep hunting alone for the Split-Pushing Rat LC, whereas Enigma focused on deterring the 4 other enemies from attacking and distracting us from the Rat LC.

The another great part was that the Earthshaker was toxic in the chat early in the game (It was like a 20-7 Score, because LC got fat really fast), but the Doom helping us secure LC’s high-bounty kills helped made the team get fatter— especially Sniper and Silencer, so the ES losing was an even more satisfying victory.

One of the best matches I’ve had in years.
It’s also a Turbo Game, so it felt like an extremely long match.

Explanation: Ancient Apparition is the embodiment of the end of existence, or the “heat death”, wherein all the energy in the universe has completely been spread out or settled by entropy, leaving no more energy gradients to exist. Aka, no more stars, black holes, radiation, electricity, fire, biofuels, living organisms, etc.

Mine is Medusa’s: “Gorgons I have failed you”, and “Where is the justice in this?”…
It’s because Medusa is a tragic hero, who just wanted to save her sisters, and even traded beauty for power— to save them.

AM is a massive counter for Medusa due to the obvious massive mana pool & mana dependency of Medusa.

Doom is a massive counter for AM (Assuming he casts Doom on AM before AM disables him and burns most of his mana, or casts Counter-Spell), due to Doom’s break and silence.

Medusa is a massive counter for Doom, because Doom’s Heal & Health Regeneration Disable and Infernal Blade’s Max % Health Damage won’t hurt Medusa much— because she survives through Mana and not Health; and she doesn’t really need her spells and passives on a 1 vs 1 scenario with Doom during late game, and Doom can’t break Mana Shield.
