Team Ideas: Delayed AOE Ultimates + Setup Heroes

These ideas started with Warlock's Upheaval skill - a massive slowing AOE, designed to hold enemies in place so that other, delayed AOE abilities could hammer them.

Setup Heroes:
Naga
Warlock
Dark Seer
Enigma

Damage Heroes:


-        Disruptor (Static Storm)

-        Gyrocopter (Call Down)

-        Elder Titan (Earthsplitter)

-        Enigma (Midnight Pulse)

-        Crystal Maiden (ult also slows)

-        Witch Doctor (Death Ward)

-        Jakiro (Macropyre)

-        Death Prophet

-        Sand King (Epicenter)

-        Kunkka (Ghost Ship)

-        Keeper of the Light (Illuminate)

-        Phoenix (Supernova)

-        Shadow Shaman (Serpent Wards)

-        Tinker (March of the Machines)

-        Weaver (Swarm)



Slow & Kill Team Idea:
Witch Doctor/KotL/Veno + CM/Jakiro + Phoenix/ET (offlane) + Warlock (mid) + Gyro (carry)

(Multiple large ults w/slowing in AOE)

Heroes with Low-Cooldown Ultimates

This post started out as "teamfight ultimates", but the spirit of this post includes heroes that can fight frequently, and thus includes more single-target ultimates, and heroes in general with low-cooldown abilities.

At the time of this writing, heroes such as Slardar, Tusk, and Witch Doctor are popular in the Pro scene, somewhat because they don't have to wait on the cooldown of long ultimates to fight.

Heroes with Low-Cooldown Ultimates:
(Cooldown time shown in brackets)
  • Ancient Apparition (40), 
  • Gyrocopter (55/50/45), 
  • Timbersaw(4), 
  • Anti Mage (70)
  • Disruptor (90/80/70), 
  • Treant (70), 
  • Undying [Tombstone* 60, Golem 75], 
  • Witch Doctor (80).  
  • Troll Warlord (30), 
  • Skywrath Mage (60/40/20)
  • Leshrac (1)
  • Storm Spirit (Longest CD spell is Vortex at 21/20/19/18)
* Many players consider Undying's Tombstone to be his "true" ultimate.


Single-target Ults w/low CD:  
  • Sniper (20/15/10)
  • Wind Ranger (60) 
  • Tusk (20/16/12)
  • Spirit Breaker (80/70/60)
  • Huskar (12) 
  • Legion Commander (50) 
  • Lina (70/60/50)
  • Pugna (22)
  • Pudge (30)
  • Shadow Demon (50, 40 w/Aghs)
  • Slardar (5)
Honourable Mention (at higher levels or Agh's):
  • Lion (160/100/40)
  • Lich (120/90/60)
  • QoP (Agh's = 40)
  • Beastmaster (Agh's = 45)
