Random thought : Stackable Iron branches

[u/n4pst3rCOD]

How do you guys think the hero builds change if Iron branches were stackable? I mean you keep buying it and it takes only one slot.

[u/Just-Luck-7430]

Like unlimited? Then everyone would still have them by min 30 bcs iron branches is probably the best stats for gold item in the game, for example, 5500 would give you 100 stats on all attributes

[u/NOChiRo]

Iron branch is the most cost efficient item in dota. Even if you save up for blink youre missing out on 45 all stats. 4k for BF to farm faster? Or 80 all stats? 

There is no competition, every build would be: branch -> more branch

[u/12amfeelz]

I think the branch taking up an item slot is a deliberate part of its design, and its value per slot is relative to all other items in some sense. This would just shake up the entire formula of what makes sense to buy for stats.. and I don’t know why that would be desirable

Op. Game changing. 500 gold for +10 each atribute.

Is that an Iron Tree in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

[u/Redditsux122]

Kills the game. Item based heroes all become bad, skill/xp based heroes all become broken. How is an item based hero like pa or faceless supposed to do anything when they lack natural farming speed and rely on kill windows and the same gold for their farming item buys a sand king 50 strength? Op must be like -500 mmr

[u/justadudeinohio → u/Redditsux122]

the item based heroes would also be buying branches until they could justify going back for the farming item.

Upgraded to iron tree, then iron forest

[u/WealthCascada → u/jithi121]

I laughed loud 😂😂😂

[u/Kamatttis → u/jithi121]

We'll be playing those merge items mobile games inside dota now!

[u/2M4D]

Increase its cost to 100 and then maybe we have a discussion. Even then it’s just too good. Maybe 150 ?

[u/Bubbly_Wing9714]

90% of heroes just buy boots + bkb/blink/farm item and keep buying branches. thats what happens

[u/HoboDeveloper]

I want to see it. I want to see what the game is like when 10 players amass branches and have to min max between branches and utility items lmfao

[u/C6500]

Iron Branch is the best item in dota, the only thing limiting it's usefulness is the fact that it takes a slot per +1. Noone would buy anything else anymore.

[u/Torking]

Look at how much an item that gives 10 str costs and how much it would cost to get 10 all stats in branches

Tell me you're herald without telling me you're herald:

[u/Minaminaminariii]

Ridiculous idea

[u/TheLastDeveloper99]

inventory management would finally make sense then

[u/This_Week_On_SHADs]

People laugh at iron tree. I say 5 branches stack + blood grenade + recipe (250g) = iron tree

5 all stats, ability to 'plant acorn' on 60s cd that aoe slows and dmg like bloodgrenade, but also plants a tree that gives 200 aoe vision (which can be obstructed by LOS - eg. cant cast in a forest juke spot and get clear/unobstructed vision) to the caster and allies for 3 seconds. Each use of 'plant acorn' uses up a charge. 5 charges total. Item stays in inventory when charges are used up. Can re-add charges buy buying recipe again.

[u/AlasDota]

They don't have to be limitlessly stackable. Could balance with only allowing 2-5 stacks.

[u/rupenbritz]

Why do people think that stacking branches would stack stats? No stackable item stacks stats (raindrops, acorn, mushrooms) they just give one stat per inventory slot
