Most Annoying Build Ever

teamwork! and btw. not all demigods suffer the same from this build.

neverless it is a strong build but like all builds couterable. don't enforce your usual playstyle, adapt to the new situation. in this case don't try to catch regulus alone, trap pthers and it works! btw. regulus is not the only one with slows.

edit: forgot to mention that this build is NOT impossible to kill. as it seems it starts to be seen quite often the last weeks. most time i won against a team with such a reg. and no, the reg was not a nub.

we won vs the team with the slow reg too

reg is not the only one with slow, but the only one who can use it in this annoying way

ereb can slow, but can't kite, same for ub and oak

they also need to be close to trigger poisened dagger

reg can just shoot from a distance, massively slow you

when you try to come closer he runs back, when you run back to stay out of tower range he starts shooting you again

if he has angelic fury and / or some dps items you won't last long

if you make a small mistake, or even don't make a mistake but poisened dagger triggers you have a good chance of being dead, since it's not possible to escape when slowed that much

unless you're a speed build ofcourse, but then you have to realize in time the other team has a huge slowing reg

ereb can kite, minion ereb! of course he need to get close to trigger it, but thats all. he half ways kites and it is very effective.

of course you cannot catch up a good reg alone, no matter if he has poisoned dagger or not. only stupid regs wait for you to catch up. a good reg with fury and mines you will never catch alone as ub or oak. and even as ereb it will be hard. it is not the poison dagger. it only makes it a bit easier.

the benefit of poison dagger is when they play as a team! at the same time playing as a team yourself is the conter.

you are viewing this to much from a 1on1 perspective. let reg take anklet and then build like you suggested: you won't be able to kill him neither, nor flee from him. it is an anoying combination, poison dagger + this build, but it is not overpowered or similar like you seem to think.

you cannot kill him? ok, than kill the others or play defensive not being killed yourself. team up and set traps. end of story.

you want to kill him? buy wyrmskin (i think that were the gloves slowing) and skill slowing abilities + speed. he cannot slow you all at the same time. sure he can shot you all, but the dagger will not proc on all, and he will die in seconds when focused, slowed and only one of your partners being affected by the dagger.

use the advantages your other demigods have, like ubs dmg, erebs flexability, etc. and set traps where you can use your advantages.

edit: most times you realize the reg has poison dagger during the first minute. you cuold wait that time selecting your favor.

I've run into this type of build a couple of times.  The only nice thing is Reg can't stun you out of a teleport, but he can chase my beast out of the lane with enough kiting.  Even a Sigil won't last long enough to get you home safely on foot.  For DG's with no heal/debuff, that Reg is truly a pain in the ass.

lol your UB? your doing something wrong...

I played it it, but honestly its not THAT strong. For one it lacks power, and the speed debuff isn't an instant win, for your very fragile and it can fail too.

MotB is Regulus' most annoying skill. Maim is overrated. Snares may save you against other assassins but a well played minion Oak or LE will eat you alive.

The biggest problem with this build comes with teamwork

Sure the regulus can kickass 1v1, but as soon as someone else shows up they arent slowed to the same extend so getting to the reg isnt as hard a problem

Sedna + 3rd level heal = full speed
Oak + 3rd level shiel = full speed
Ere + mist = full speed
Ere +  mist + bat swarm + bite = dead regulus

Honestly, though, when I see a build like this, I just pick up a wand of speed.  1750 for a really useful item that pretty much negates someone's choice of Favor Item.  The thing is that most people just continue on with their normal build and don't adapt when a snare regulus shows up.  It is counterable, just that most people won't pick up the items to do it.

It's something that I'm learning to do.  If I go full support Sedna and find that there's a speed TB and a speed Reg on the other team, I'll buy speed items and pick up pounce earlier.  If I'm up against tanks, I'll stay full support and outlast them.

This build really isn't that good,  as stated before wand of speed totally owns that build.

My personal counter is to use wand and If I really get in trouble just TP out because reg can't stun.

Reg doesn't have any sort of interrupt or stun, so he gets a slow.  It's pretty evenly balanced.

Hmmm, so what is this to say about, UB, TB, Oak, and LE, they all have both...

DaBRUM

This is really old. Yawn.

I never said this build is OP or even good ...

I just said it's annoying as hell to play against!

Minion ereb w/HoB > all.

not really.

Oh, most assuredly.  Hammer slam Rook and frost TB are only two who stand a chance at pushing him back, even then plenty of minions are still to come after the next wave of reinforcements dies all around you.  Properly played, minion Ereb > all including slow stacking Reg.

Errrm, any minion build destroys AA reg, without mines, reg gets raped by minions hands down, doesnt haev to be LE, though he is the best ^^

So, to the OP, play any minion build, and you will destroy him, if he is getting raped by minions, he is sure as hell not chasing you to kill you!

DaBRUM

See my replay of my oak vs peters minions, hammer rook and tb aren't the only ones that can deal with minions.

To be fair this build sucks

But

It is as annoying as hell as THE F%"()£_= REG KEEPS SLOWING ME DOWN AGHRH!!!!!

okay so this build isn't annoying if you're a minion build (well it actually is since the reg will just run back to his tower and get all your minions killed in no time, then come harass you some more)

but it is really really annoying when you're a melee build

btw a reg with Angelic Fury does a LOT of dmg, I think a lot of you seriously underestimate him, he'd kill all your minions in a few seconds, even if they're fully upgraded!

yeodan, reg with fury indeed does quite much aoe dmg. and in fact fury is a very good way to go. but, its alle balanced, so what's the point?

and btw, the tower wont' help much. a mainly minion build in early levels rapes the reg just next to the tower faster than the twoer the minions

Fair point.  I didn't even think about minion oak.

the annoyance isn't balanced

being beaten in melee by far isn't as annoying as being beaten by a guy who hits you from a range, runs whenever you come closer and chases whenever you need to get out of tower range

I would advise everyone claiming this build is overpowered to try it for a bit.  If you make it to the top of the ladder, cool.  More likely, you will gain a deeper understanding of why this build is in fact terrible.
