    I'm not sure OP is the right word, but whatever.
    They certainly are some unique, high impact and trademark skills.

        The Sniper ministun on headshot and Spectre's dispersion when her illusions had the ability were probably also some of the most OP abilities in the game.

                  The other way is much more interesting in my opinion. If you look at pre 6.60 Sven you'll shudder.
                  -Stun is single target, less damage but better cooldown. Bad version of current WK stun
                  -War Cry was an aura that'd give 5 armor at max level, no MS
                  -Cleave had like half the reach and half the power (max 40%)
                  -God Strength gave only 100%/125%/150% damage and was PURGABLE(!!!)

                  While you could say, that in a way most heroes simply do become stronger with time, this is probably one of the more insane cases.

                      Everyone with at least one eye could see he was OP as fuck. "TBD" my ass.

                              Can someone explain this, btw? Unless I'm misreading it, isn't this still possible?

                              Prior to 6.77, Lasso allowed Batrider to attack the caught targets still, making it much simpler for Batrider to get solo kills.

                                ^attacking means right clicking in this case; before 6.77 lasso didn't disarm Batrider.

                                  @ Anomalina It's no longer possible. Batrider is disarmed when lassoing someone, but he could still use spells and items, which essentially means if batrider lassos a bkb target without any allies around, the target could just blink away when the lasso ends :P

                                  Anomaluna

                                    Ah, ok.. thanks! I didn't imagine that scenario, makes sense! And here I was wondering why Batrider's right clicks even matter..

                                          Sniper's ministun was horrible to lane against. But his 3 charge no CD shrapnel was so so bad, since it landed instantly or almost instantly. Now it has a... 1.x second delay and it gives you a chance at least to guess where he's dropped it and to try to get out of its radius!

                                                            and yeah, while phoenix was introduced (dota 1) the sun ray was really OP AF, it slow enemies up to 80% and dealing PURE DAMAGE without SKILL DURATION and COOLDOWN (which means u can use it anytime and as long as u need to kill the enemy) we can even suicide using it lmao

Prior to that, I really like spamming es since it is so "OP" like the article topic is. But then in some patch it change to geo grip do silence. It make him less popular for a while in meta

OD and NP were OP but what unstoppable were Chen and Io. Then post TI4 the meta changed dramatically and suddenly single lockdown heroes like Storm Spirit and Tuskarr stole the spotlight.

                                                                                hello there

It used to have its own mechanics and allow faceless void to evade actual spells such as laguna blade. It was the only evade that truesight didn't work on, so even buying a mkb wouldn't work. That was the reason faceless void used to be one of the hardest carry, with that evade he can go ham with 5 heroes and come out ahead with some luck and a good chrono.
