So guys, as an avid ability draft player, i was thinking what abilities will you pounce at if you see it up for grabs?
And another question, what ability combos do you want to get for 100% winrate in Ability draft.

Lastly, which hero will be ideal to have those combos or abilities on?

For me, it is actually Aftershock that iw ill pounce at and unfortunately that tiny grow tidebringer combo was banned soooo.

Anyways, what are your thoughts?
Go On, Feed Me.

I'll put aside the OP Sticky Napalm combo and use one of my favourites.

Poison Attack
Mirror Image
Howl
Shapeshift

kt;dr, triple wolf is OP, especially with the crazy base damage and the ranged orb.

If I get a melee hero, Split Shot is my biggest preference because you can pick up vlads with it for massive lifesteal. Otherwise, Essence Aura is pretty big and so is any illusion ability. If I can get split shot on a melee hero along with illusions, its pretty much GG for me,

A little chart a friend and I made up about the best spells to pick up in AD. Tier 1 = first-pick material, tier 2 = good, tier 3 = decent. Heroes are tier 1 based on special attributes/ultra-powerful (eg Silencer's innate passive), tier 2 is improved BAT or really good movespeed (eg Luna, AM), tier 3 = generally good stat gain.

Ok, apparently I can't insert it here so... anyone know a way I can put it online to show you?
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

A spammable spell, like Chain Lightning

Fiery Soul
Time Lock
Chronosphere

basically, use chainlighting 3 times, chrono, and then become the bashlord with crazyy attack speed.
