What would a $6 Echo Slam look like?

[@erikjansen6911]

Ever heard of earthquakes in Germany? Like that I suppose...

We've all made at least one :(

Let's be honest,everyone tried at least ONCE to say "There are many earths but only one eartshaker" in the earthshaker voice

[@EXADragaon]

Yeah and to be honest, I can't get that line out of my head everytime.

[@davidrazo106]

Funny Story actually: I was playing Earthshaker when I was playing DoTA with my friend and it was during that string of earthquakes hitting in California. Everyone paused the game and 'flamed' me for it.

[@22duckys]

one notable change you missed, at somepoint they buffed enchant totem to grant true strike, making coreshaker much better versus heroes like PA and Alch

[@crislouiedomingo4340]

i think its just the same in dota 1, theres no changes happened to shaker enchant totem.

[@lazerNeo]

Fuck I remember that. So to speak, ES became even more picked than he already was.

I took a break from dota... You brought me back not to long away thank you. reminded me why I love the game

[@user-ir4jh9wl5p]

Fun fact, when ES came to Dota, I remember his aftershock ability to be in effect with items, and I remember I had full active items just for the aftershock skill.

[@evulse619]

Also , an important note is that Enchant Totem can never miss

[@MrDreamer121]

Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into the making of these videos. Thank you.

[@harshsawant4936]

Overwhelmed by the noteworthy mention of people clapping in sync with earthshaker at TI. It is the more important thing which gets least attention but it sure made my day! Thanks Dennis!

[@buttqueef9900]

Idk why I haven't subbed till now. Really love the vids, super knowledgeable and clever. Thanks Dennis Wennis

[@13lazz]

What would you do if we echo slammed under a brood mother's web?

[@DennisTheTall]

Haha jk...unless...?

[@l3m0ntea]

Do you know? In wc3 Dota, when you buy battlefury for es, his attack animation will change. :)

[@samaelcares7183]

How about the quelling blade on kunkka HAHAHA

did you know that in dota 1 buying maelstrom on pugna you can attack decrepified units with a different attack animation?

Orb of venom on Razor will turn his blue lightning attack to a instant Red lightning attack that appears on target heroes

That happens to almost everyone tho. Axe, juggernaut, phantom lancer, and more, I can't be bothered to list all lol

[@AniOleh]

Great video, ES is my fav :) At 16:32 you should have mentioned this change was due to the abuse of stacking creep waves at the radiant offlane.

[@vanillathesixth]

"Even if you hide, you cant escape an earthquake. Trust me on this" ... i felt that.

I waited so long for another video.. thank you little man. :D

[@jansolo4628]

Thor in SMITE also has an impassable Wall that stuns but doesn't deal damage. Along with this, he is more of a dive assassin, but his ulti does have him fly into the air before crashing down at a target location and stunning enemies upon landing, along with giving himself a damage boost so... Maybe?

[@jhanmaripiedad4274]

Veeeery nice sir! Ive been waiting thiss for soo long buuuut its very nice...cause i always play ES sooo goodjob!

[@incognitonotsure909]

I thought spirit breaker was just a skin for him when I first started.

[@kindlesstraitor5587]

Thrall from HotS has two ultimates similar (-ish) to Eartshakers Fissure and Echo Slam. 1. Sundering is literally Fissure which inflicts damage, knocks backs a bit and stuns targets hit. (Ok, nvm, he makes a wall on lvl 20 talent now, good thing I checked.) 2. Earthquake is a long radius Echo Slam. It deals some damage, but applies very strong slow to enemies if they're inside the circle. He also has an attack reset, that gives him attack speed. Sure, this isn't bonus damage on next spell like Enchanted Totem, but still :v

[@dexterrr9163]

[@gungisgrand225]

If he kept his tree removal he could be a situational counter to TimberSaw

[@awsomebot1]

16:37 lets not forget this change was made because before it, people would use fissure to funnel offlane creeps into an alcove in the trees. ES would do this for a long time while someone like lone druid would tank & kill all the enemy creeps. finally es would release the funneled creeps in a huge wave, usually causing in t1 & t2 dropping.

probably Fissure became able to stun roshan and ancients at the same time when in dota2 they changed ancients to not have spell immunity anymore, but just a very high magic resistance percentage (like 80ish % now i think?)

[@xxEchoDecayxx]

Earthshaker offers you a *GRAND SLAM COMBO* from Denny's

[@GranMaj]

i mean enchant totem is perfect earthshaker kit. its to balance the the fact that he is a caster so he most likely not building damage item and the ability is just there to synergies with aftershock, since all of his skill besides ench totem have a long cooldown, and he is a type of bursty mage i think how ench totem work is fine by me.

[@plokplot8900]

they should make fissure, echo slam destroy trees that are in their radius. even sandkings epicenter should destroy trees and have some damage to buildings.

[@MilkJugA_]

16:34 It's the opposite. People used to quelling trees and constant fissure to make creeps be stuck in the trees, denying experience.

[@shanepote]

Sorry if dumb, since bkb allows you to not take damage from echo slam, does it still consider you in terms of overall DMG out put ? So if you in cluster but you have bkb with your allies still get effect with extra damage due to you being there?

[@PokemonJack333]

The closest spell to Fissure in HotS is an ult... at max level.
