solo t2,3 towers and break backdoor protection in General Discussion
samin jr.

    Hi, so sometimes when i'm pushing towers I like to go solo like without creep help and take out towers so please tell me what builds can break through backdoor protectionwith heroes like drow or am...
    I think it works with clinkz with a basic build but I dont like playing clinkz...

      thats pretty simple. pure dps.
      minus armor, attack speed and damage.
      clinkz is the best hero for that, as his skillset provies him huge bonus physical dmg, stupid amounts of attackspeed and he naturally builds -armor anyway
      on drow, of you just build up enough agility you will cut through backdoor protection aswell. treads butterfly deso and a yasha will probably be enough

        U just don't break backdoor as am without a seriously gimped build

          Thanks melt. I always seem to avoid deso but i'll try with it.
          @numb yeah man I tried a couple times with ams usual manta abyssal build but it takes so little damage. a damage build with am seems like a waste of gold.

              lc with deso and let the enemy creeps hit you

                it heals 90 per second and takes 40% less dmg so you need to deal over 225 dps to a tower to break backdoor. Heroes naturally do only 50% dmg to towers so you actually need to deal 500 dps, and t3s have 19 armor which is almost another 50% reduction. So you need to do like 750 straight up dps (or reduce armor). That's a lot.

                  Not only the above ^

                  But in a game of 5v5 dota I don't realistically see this happening on a consistent enough basis to call it a viable strategy due to the following:

                  1) Enemy TP'ing in a hidden spot next to the tower you're taking and they insta lock you and you're dead while they take your t2/t3 with 3-4 of their team.

                  2) The enemy can just take another objective and get way more value out of it while you're spending all this time and expending your HP, they can probably go rosh while you're taking a t2 and then they can take t2 AND your t3 with aegis. You can't realistically go help your team because a) you're probably half HP by now and b) if you go help them then all this time hitting tower is wasted as it heals back up.

                  I think your time is better spent elsewhere unless you're just looking for a meme build.

                    ^it is viable
                    just on some shit like clinx who already has huge physical dmg, naturally builds dmg and minus armor
                    or alchemist + io
                    u got a desolator and maybe drums or some shit on io
                    u got an ac mjollnir and those dps talents on alch
                    u can melt through backdoor
