This one’s really niche, but it was so much fun back in the day.
In Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne custom maps (where DotA originated) there was one called Anime Fight, basically DotA without the buildings, the team with the most kills wins.
There was one area of the map for late-game farming, with a bunch of high-level mobs literally packed together as tight as they could fit, and they respawn constantly. Instant death even in the late game, but the rewards were good if you manage to take out a few of them.
Well, one of the character choices was Zero from Megaman X, and he has the ability Ensuizen, which has no cooldown. Not a great move normally, because you’ll just get kited in a fight, but take it up to that farming area and spam it as fast as you can, and you’ll take out one of the high level mobs far earlier than you normally could. Rinse and repeat until you’re taking out lots of them, getting super overpowered.
So from the other team’s perspective, it looked like I went AFK early on in the match, then suddenly came back with maxed level and items and started dominating the game while everyone else was barely getting started.
Very fun times.
Nah, I'll run to the tomes in the tight puzzle area at early level
