General DiscussionCrystal Maiden as Carry role

5 things:

1) her attack animation is bad
2) her base dmg is too low
3) why would someone like to play cm as a carry?
4) go to 3
5) to to 4

BKB ulti!!!! LOL. Should work in pubs! :D

The fun you can have in normal bracket

build magic dmg

Ideas like these completely annihilate pub games in dota. There is not one skill, not one atribute of cm that allows her to be an efficient carry. If you do that, you will be flamed and hated and that will be justified.

Carry CM, going mid -> phaseboots for imba harass -> shadow blade -> bkb -> ult rapage.

I carried them, they would lose horribly without me

doing your job doesnt mean you are carrying......

Carrying means carrying the team to win and doesn't mean u should be a dps hero, but usually, only dps heroes can carry hard enough to be called a carry..

I think his point is that he wants to see troll games where people DID play carry crystal maiden, not that he thinks CM would be a good carry....

I think this video from Na'Vi will help this thread a lot.

That's is his point, but ppl take most things too seriously

If you're going to "carry" as a cm the only thing that's significant for a lot of damage output is your ulti since she cant really function as a dps carry.

So to use your ulti w/o dying or getting stunned you'll probably need bkb/ghost sceptor (depending on opponent picks), I don't think shadow blade is a good idea since a dust is all they need to stop you.
Sceptor for hp/damage, dagger/forcestaff for mobility.
