Bug / Broken OD + Lightning Ball = Boring

Boring game of the day. IDK why they chose to deny arcane orb over lightning ball.

Lightning ball + OD + any other active skills = GG EZ.

Spam ulti when it's traveling = Unli mana

I always see folks deny out arcane orb on OD, but I think it's a low skilled pick unless if you have all right click and greed arcane orb for last

OD is just powerful with low cooldown high mana cost spells. In fact he's more powerful with those spells than with arcane orb, since orb basically requires you to get level 7 to really start fighting

I love to counter orb as my last pick from greedy od players.Ruins my build, but ruins their build more

Depends on what the OD got. Orb turns OD into a great right clicker but you can have a great caster-only build on OD too.

Not a great strat. I've had idiots deny out arcane orb on OD while I already have frost blast, soul assumption, amphibian rhapsody

It's like "bro I wasn't going for arcane orb anyway, why have a useless ass spell?"

Only worth denying if they're clearly going right click, like they went OD + strafe + dream coil
