Stalker Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 This is probs the most op item in the game right now. It's 2600, for Crit Chance, Agility and gives 100% Attack speed on a crit. It basicly costs 4200 (+1600 For exe axe) for you to kill any unit early game, i think it should either cost more, or lower the amount of wep speed you get for a landed crit.

ginosaji Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 It's only decent on Balrog, Boros, Nova, and Lurker. AA lurker sucks, Crit Balrog with Barb is very weak and doesn't hold up against a competent team. So that leaves Nova and Boros. On Nova it's decent if you can sit there and farm all game, but you usually wouldn't be able to do that as your team will suffer without you. On Boros it's not quite as good, but isn't terrible. The issue is that rushing it leaves you weak in the HP area. For about the same cost you could have Stun Knife and Pulse hammer. Basically, it's a snowball item.

It is very good on kerrigan IMO, as it gives her good farming, pushing, tower killing, and just good old dps for a decently low price that will be paid for by how much faster she farms and kills when she has it. However, I do not think lethal barb should be nerfed, it makes you very squishy, and only hero besides nova and kerrigan that I get it on is shade, and that is because it is the fastest way to snowball, as it gives you more dps than if you rush other things.

Rushing lethal on Sarah is a suicide. IMO on all STR(except heroes like cow) 1st item - COA/DST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is no reason to buy barb on kerrigan - Pyre or crit+speed item with COA is better later coz it gives MS bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just comes down to personal preference, but late game I agree that arcbound is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lios Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 25% to get 100% atk speed for couple of second, not that OP tho, with 100% first shot with nova is a different story. Compare this thing to pure which cost 400 more, it's nothin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mus Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 It's not 100% attack speed, it's +100% attack speed i.e your attack speed is doubled. This is not the same as reaching maximum attack speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a lot of people saying that pulse solves HP problems, when it only gives like +120? or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysi Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Btw, do you know max attack speed in game? I believe it's 400%. I.e, your base weapon speed is 1.7, divide by 4, your max is 1 attack per .425 seconds. In reference to Lethal Barb, I think it leaves you with very little actual damage. Not OP IMO.

Fastest game attack speed is..... 0,26 How? shadow with 6 hand of Mengsk while R is activated. Should try 5 HoM and Yamato reactor - should be around 0,2 Just for lulz.

Hitechgunner Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 AA lurker sucks, Crit Balrog with Barb is very weak and doesn't hold up against a competent team AA Lurker and Crit Balrog are simply alternative builds that needs to be practised to become good at. Both are very strong, as is the one your forgot to list - Kerrigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginosaji Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I hear a lot of people saying that pulse solves HP problems, when it only gives like +120? or so. It doesnt, You're Right. I Get Hatchet Machete On Most AGIs. Those Three Give Around 1100-1200 Hp, Which Is Acceptable Early Game. I Usually Finish FOE Very Soon After Pulse.

Apocalyptic Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 The only hero I ever get Lethal Barb on is Nova: hunter's hatchete -> machete -> stun knife -> lethal Barb. You have just enough HP to work with and an extreme damage output. Between your ulti and stun knife you have enough crowd control to get in, get a kill and get back out. I love that build, but even so and I end up selling the Lethal barb lategame. The item is decent on Boros, Kerri, as others have said but not good enough IMO to work into a build. I would not at all call the item OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFlame Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd just like to note that this is the 3rd (I think) thread for Lethal Barb being OP coming around in the last couple months. I doubt the item will be changed because of this. They already know people think it is OP, and I do agree. This kind of thing gets me annoyed (everyone says OP and no change, or worse, a buff).

ginosaji Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd just like to note that this is the 3rd (I think) thread for Lethal Barb being OP coming around in the last couple months. I doubt the item will be changed because of this. They already know people think it is OP, and I do agree. This kind of thing gets me annoyed (everyone says OP and no change, or worse, a buff). Not everyone agrees... I don't think it's OP at all. There are a few heroes it's viable on and then only under cetain circumstances. If you are a Nova, Kerrigan, or Boros and facing a non-armor stacking team (INT heroes), then it's viable to go Lethal. Yea, it's great for farming, but can you always bank on the fact that you'll have 10 mins to get the 2600 for Barb, then have enough time to farm to make it worth it? I don't think so. In my view both these conditions must occur... You need to be facing a low armor team and be able to farm for awhile and let your team take care of everything until mid or late-mid game. There's a narrow window in late early game where Lethal Barb is very good in team fights. This occurs before many STR heroes get their armor, as many go GP10 first. It also occurs before most AGI get any defensive items. It's particularily strong on Nova because of her crit chance and her 100% crit on first three attacks. This window is relatively small, as most STR will react with DST or at least Newtonian faster than they would have otherwise gone in their build. It's effective slightly longer against AGIs, but generally starts losing out to the effectiveness of Stun knife, especially in larger team fights, where a stun knife landed on an enemy carry can mean they are plucked/tossed/stunned and killed. So unless you can get fed early and snowball, Lethal isn't worth it in my opinion unless the scenario I described in the first paragraph happens to be the case for your game.

Spooky Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Lethal is very bad idea on Nova when u are playing against competent Akasha. His W+R combo will kill Nova very easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
