21k/24k/19k hero damage that's nearly double anything the rest of my team did, the reason?

March of the Machines

every single team fight i was able to get off at least two Marches right on the epicentre of where the team fight happened.

and this is my question...

what ability has the potential to do the most AoE damage ?

for example

i read a blog on here about the potential of Earthshaker Echo Slam and that was pretty crazy damage.

then im thinking aghanims Leshrac would have some crazy damage as well up in the 5 figures?

what other abilites would have this potential?

Arc Lightning + Static Field can Kill most Heroes in about 10-14 Casts, because 9% of Max HP x 15 * 0.75 == dead! <|8{D

its current hp btw Xyrus not max hp. so technically the damage would just decrease and decrease and decrease. till the most damage would be done with arc lightning.

but i like your thinking :D maybe if he cast 5 times in a team fight with people close to him he would do some serious damage to them so say 5 heroes at 1000 hp he would do 450 damage which isnt that much actually though i guess the higher hp the more painful that becomes haha

My most damage done ever is with visage at 50K, It is probably because of his spamable super nuke and his super hard hitting familaiars.

@Mastadoom
Familiars only deal a ton of damage for the first ~6-7 seconds then it falls down to a measly 10 damage per hit. So really they only hit hard once refreshed.

But to answer the original question it depends on the "what" do you mean by a single ability or a lone hero at lvl 25 or a 6 slotted hero at lvl 25? because really carries should be up there hence why they need the most farm.

Imo; aghs Lich if the other team doesn't move apart it has the capacity to whipe out all except one hero. Crazy shtuff.

I vote for aghs Enigma, casting Black Hole right after Midnight Pulse
It can deal (4*7)*2 in the duration of Black Hole which is 56% max HP + its damage, and the midnight pulse still continue for another 4 seconds, so if all goes well it can deal another 28%, totaled at 84% max HP without counting any other damage.
Or just buy Refresher Orb, it deals 112% max HP then.

soooo

if we say max hp is "k"

(4*140)*2+((7%k*4)*2=?

k=1000

so we have 1680 damage on 5 targets.

and if we get the full duration of Midnight Pulse

we get 2660 damage per person.

wowza

though that is over 11 seconds.

hmmm so if we look at potential damage over 11 seconds.

march of the machines does on average 704 damage to a hero if they stay in the march for its duration.

so it takes 1 second to rearm.

6 second duration.(i wont take into account the animation of 0.3 for this).

so if we start at second 1.

1/6

we get:

Zeus + Refresher Orb = a lot of hero damage.

I agree with Agh's refresher Enigma... Its a guaranteed kill if you get the full channel off.
