Illusions and building damage.

[Wicky]

Just curious about how everyone thinks about illusions damaging towers?

Was just in a game where it was pretty fun you know, but then the enemy TB literally just sat back and let his ability illusion and manta illusions with metamorph just completely shred towers. i understand you gotta build around illusion users but it's kinda scummy when they wait 2 minutes into hero picking phase only to pick tb so they don't get counter picked.

Does anyone else think illusions shouldn't be able to damage buildings or is what i'm saying completely propostrus

Illusions use a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of damage against towers. The can only use base damage, can only use a portion of that base damage, and can only deal 75% of that portion of base damage against towers so it is fairly minimal, granted TB does have a lot of base damage and high illusions damage usage but you can still prevent his pushes. Preventing him from gaining lots of agility/manta will greatly lessen his pushing power as well as, also get an illusions popper like lion, pugna, or legion so you can lessen his damage greatly in fights.

what you are saying is indeed preposterous and would require many heroes to change their kit enterily. TB would need change, manta would need to offer something more, Naga would be almost useless...

scummy or not, i think you should let your emotional issues with illusions aside and see that you are not giving a very good suggestion to the game.

if illusions were not able to damage buildings, you would completely destroy :
naga, terrorblade, phantom lancer from the start and heros like luna and drow that usually get a manta and those hipsters who get manta on zeus
