User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-120.22.141.205-20130121221133/@comment-89.67.154.36-20130122180301

I totally don't agree with opinion that Shadow Fiend is the hardest hero in DotA.

Man, have you, like EVER, heard of Invoker?

Only understanding his mechanics and learning the spells takes hours.

For everyone that is not familiar with DotA: Invoker has 3 passives and only 1 active ability: Invoke. Q W E are not abilities in the usual way. To understand: clicking Q gives you a stack/orb of it that floats around Invoker with a maximum of 3, clicking a button again overrides previous stacks, example: I got QQQ, then press E, now I have QQE.

What is the purpose of this? Every single combination (regardless of order) after pressing R (Invoke) gives u one spell (Meteor, Ice wall etc.) with a total of 10 combinations = 10 different spells. And you can have only 2 spells at the same time! To sum up: remembering that making a spell requires pressing 2-4 buttons, simple combo is around 20 buttons in 5 seconds.

You said something about hard heroes?
