Dota 2 - Hero Discussion of the Day: Donté Panlin, the Pangolier (November 3rd, 2017)

Hero Discussion of the Day: Donté Panlin, the Pangolier (November 3rd, 2017)

Posted: 03 Nov 2017 02:45 PM PDT

Donté, the Pangolier

Donté Panlin, the Pangolier is a melee agility hero. Due to his aggressive and brawling-oriented nature, he is best played in a position where he can quickly get an item advantage over the enemy. Perhaps his most iconic skill is Swashbuckle, a trickster's tool for swordplay and mobility, and also the first and the only vector-targeted ability in Dota 2. Other tools in his kit include Shield Crash, which deals an area nuke and provides him with incoming damage reduction for each enemy hero hit, Heartpiercer, allowing his attacks to slice through enemies' armor, and Rolling Thunder, during which he curls into an unstoppable rolling ball which stuns and knocks back anything it hits, at the cost of a decreased turn rate.

Lore

The men and women that make up the Nivan Gallants live a life of swordplay, chandelier swinging, and tawdry romance. And while all adhere to their creed that "A life of adventure is the only life worth living," the exploits of Donté Panlin still manage to raise the eyebrows of even the most hedonistic of swordsmen.

There is no monster he won't slay. No creature he won't woo. No tyrant he won't stand against. And no noble immune to his silver tongue.

Spells

Swashbuckle

Pangolier dashes along thearget line, then slashes all enemies in the drawn direction with several quick swipes.

Level Manacost Cooldown Casting Range Area Duration Effects
1 70 20 1000 1000 N/A After dashing to the target location with 2000 dash speed, it damages enemies in the drawn direction for 24 damage 4 times
2 80 16 1000 1000 N/A After dashing to the target location with 2000 dash speed, it damages enemies in the drawn direction for 42 damage 4 times
3 90 12 1000 1000 N/A After dashing to the target location with 2000 dash speed, it damages enemies in the drawn direction for 60 damage 4 times
4 100 8 1000 1000 N/A After dashing to the target location with 2000 dash speed, it damages enemies in the drawn direction for 78 damage 4 times

  • Vector targeted

  • Physical damage

  • The slashes hit units in a radius of 125 around Pangolier.

  • Can proc attack modifiers apart from cleave damage and critical strikes on all of the hit targets normally.

  • Damage does not scale with Pangolier's attack damage or attributes.

  • Allows him to move over normally impassable terrain and through trees.

  • Can be cast during Rolling Thunder and will immediately cancel it.

  • Allows him to apply Manabreak and Cold attack to all enemies hit (Diffusal Blade, Eye of Skadi)

  • Allows for a stun from Abyssal Blade and Skull Basher, however, to only one random enemy if multiple enemies hit.

  • Procs Chain Lightning, however appears to proc only one instance, no matter how many enemies hit and how many times. Needs to be confirmed from more sources.

  • Does not proc Life Steal, but can life steal off of damage proc's from Diffusal Blade, Javelin, Monkey King Bar, and Skull Basher.

  • Counts as spell, hence allows for spell amplification.

  • As a spell, allows for Spell Lifesteal (Octarine Core)

The Pangolier's blade is even nimbler than his tongue.

 

Shield Crash

Pangolier jumps in the air and slams back to the ground, damaging all enemies in a radius. For each enemy hero hit, he gains a percentage of incoming damage reduction for a short time. Forward movement is maintained if Shield Crash is used while Rolling Thunder is active, and allows Rolling Thunder to clear walls or cliffs.

Level Manacost Cooldown Casting Range Area Duration Effects
1 90 13 N/A 500 10s Damages enemies for 75 Magical Damage and Pangolier receives 8% damage reduction after each hero hit
2 100 13 N/A 500 10s Damages enemies for 150 Magical Damage and Pangolier receives 10% damage reduction after each hero hit
3 110 13 N/A 500 10s Damages enemies for 225 Magical Damage and Pangolier receives 12% damage reduction after each hero hit
4 120 13 N/A 500 10s Damages enemies for 300 Magical Damage and Pangolier receives 14% damage reduction after each hero hit

  • Dispellable with any dispel.

  • The buff being active is visually indicated by 5 golden shields in a circle around Pangolier that are bigger the higher the block percentage is.

  • Illusions are not counted for the damage reduction but Meepo's clones are counted.

Only in the midst of his enemies does the Pangolier truly thrive.

 

Heartpiercer

Passive

Pangolier reads his enemies perfectly, deftly slipping his blade past defenses. Each attack has a chance to negate enemy armor and slow the target for a duration, activating after a short delay.

Level Manacost Cooldown Casting Range Area Duration Effects
1 - - - - 2s Gives Pangolier 15% chance to pierce his foes, reducing their movement speed by 35% for 2 seconds
2 - - - - 3s Gives Pangolier 15% chance to pierce his foes, reducing their movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds
3 - - - - 4s Gives Pangolier 15% chance to pierce his foes, reducing their movement speed by 45% for 4 seconds
4 - - - - 5s Gives Pangolier 15% chance to pierce his foes, reducing their movement speed by 50% for 5 seconds

  • The activation is visually indicated by a sword dropping into a heart above the enemy hero. The heart explodes when the Heartpiercer debuff is active.

  • Does not affect buildings.

  • Creeps are only slowed by the debuff while it is active. Does not affect creep's armor.

  • Heartpiercer does not technically reduce armor, but manually set it to 0.

  • It does also negate any negative armor on the affected enemy.

  • Thus it does not synergise with armor reducing abilities.

These fools know nothing of real armor...

 

Rolling Thunder

Ultimate

Pangolier curls into a magic-immune ball and rolls out. When rolling, he moves at an increased speed and can move through trees, but has a decreased ability to turn. Striking enemies knocks them back, inflicting damage and stunning them when they land. Colliding with walls or cliffs will cause a temporary pause while Pangolier reverses in direction..

Level Manacost Cooldown Casting Range Area Duration Effects
1 100 50 N/A 150 6 Starts rolling for 6 seconds with 550 speed, enemies hit are knocked back,** stunned for 1 second** while they also take 200 damage
2 100 45 N/A 150 7 Starts rolling for 7 seconds with 575 speed, enemies hit are knocked back, stunned for 1.25 second while they also take 250 damage
3 100 40 N/A 150 8 Starts rolling for 8 seconds with 600 speed, enemies hit are knocked back, stunned for 1.5 second while they also take 300 damage

  • Being disabled during the channel will cancel the spell and put it on cooldown.

  • Can pass through trees, destroying them in the process.

  • Pangolier can use items while Rolling Thunder is active.

  • Pangolier will continue rolling if he starts teleporting during Rolling Thunder.

  • When hitting impassable terrain, Pangolier will turn around and roll back in the direction he came from.

  • Spell immunity ends immediately after Rolling Thunder stops.

Where his ancestors sought only refuge, the Pangolier saw opportunity...

If Morphling copies Lone Druid and puts item on the bear, the items get destroyed upon the bears death.

Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:21 AM PDT

Items should be dropped onto the ground, which is what happens when Rubick puts items onto his bear.

I've lost all my games because of this.

How the heck did Moonduck get Kennedy Space Center to sponsor Midas Mode?

Posted: 03 Nov 2017 11:22 PM PDT

Kennedy Space Center hasn't sponsored any esports tournaments before. In fact, PCGamer ran an article about how unusual this is. Does anyone know how Slacks managed to make this happen?
