Guess what> All of the choices above are wrong. The most imba DotA hero of all time is none other than the “old Spiritbreaker” a.k.a Astral Trekker. First released in DotA 3.0d (but playable in 6.59 AI map) Astral Trekker will pwn the shit out of any 5 of the above heroes mentioned in the poll combined. Why? Well lets look at his skills and stats : He’s a Melee STR Hero Well balanced stats : Strength – 25+3.0 Agility – 18+1.5 Intelligence – 16+1.6 Attack range of 128. Movement speed of 300. Now for his ridiculously overpowered skills :

Entrapment

Causes an enemy to be bound to the ground so it cannot move Level 1 – 2.5 seconds
Level 2 – 5.0 seconds
Level 3 – 7.5 seconds
Level 4 – 10 seconds

Cooldown – 12 seconds
Manacost – 75

No that is no joke. 10 seconds. This is twice as long as Naga Siren’s net with lower cooldown and mana cost, with the ability to reveal invisible units who have been netted (anti-Rikimaru, anti-Gondar, anti-Clinkz, anti-Phantom Lancer, anti-Invoker) even if they are Magic immune through Omniknight’s Repel skill or using BKB. And then the cooldown is 12 seconds, so within 24 seconds you can disable a hero (they have absolutely no counter to this skill) for 20 seconds. INSANE.

War Stomp

Slams the ground, stunning and damaging enemy units

Level 1 – 25 damage, 3 second stun
Level 2 – 50 damage, 4 second stun
Level 3 – 75 damage, 5 second stun
Level 4 – 100 damage, 6 second stun

Cooldown – 6 seconds
Manacost – 90 AOE – 250/300/350/400??

YEP. So untop of disabling you for 10 seconds he can now STUN you for an additional 6 seconds, and he can just continue stunning you till your dead because the cooldown is as long as the stun! As if that wasn’t too much nonsense the spell is AOE. So he basically has a AOE spammable 6 second stun that he can get before he is level 11. Earthshaker, Tidehunter, Centaur and Magnus have serious penis envy here.

Pulverize

The Astral Trekker strikes with such force that his blows deal bonus damage over small splash radius

Level 1 – Each attack adds 14 damage
Level 2 – Each attack adds 28 damage
Level 3 – Each attack adds 42 damage
Level 4 – Each attack adds 56 damage

Passive

Well this is tame compared to his other skills as it is no real game breaker. But its still overpowered BS as its basically Ursa’s fury swipes skill, except is 2.33 times stronger at level 4 and its SPLASH DAMAGE. Farming is therefore a joke with Trekker, and he is probably the easiest melee hero to farm with, better than Kunkka or Tidehunter, as there is no cooldown or % chance of pulverize being triggered, it is simply triggered each time he attacks.

Giant Growth

(Ultimate) Grants increased hit points, armor, damage and spell immunity

Level 1 – 250 hit points, 10 damage and 5 armor. Lasts 50 seconds
Level 2 – 500 hit points, 20 damage and 10 armor. Lasts 65 seconds
Level 3 – 750 hit points, 30 damage and 15 armor. Lasts 80 seconds

Cooldown – 160/130/100 seconds
Manacost – 150

The name of this skill should be STFUANDDIEHAHAHA. Its simply a BKB, but 5-8 times the duration, plus a HP buff, or heal if used right, plus a armor buff, plus a dmg buff, which you can attain every one minute and 40 seconds. Heroes this skill counters? All. Rhasta, Lion, Jakiro, Invoker, Ezalor and other reliable support and disabler heroes will simply die once this monster skill is activated for its out of this world duration of 80 f^&#$in seconds. You can push a whole lane in 80 seconds, with no spells being able to hurt you. So in summary, Wanderer: the Astral Trekker is the best support hero (16 second disable), and best carry hero (killing power is unmatched) who can also work as a tank (good str gain) and good dps (pulverize). EUL was the DotA developer responsible for this madness as Trekker first came out in DotA 3.0d. You can however play Trekker in the latest DotA 6.59 AI map downloadable here:
