Deadwood isnt a complete tank like the new Treant, hes more Support and Physical Dmg dealer.

His ulti not very strong even if you stack out the -armour debuff on it. The reason why I say this is cause, it does 400 dmg at lvl 3 but does slow debuff which is good for slowing dwn fast running bastrds.

His initial Stats also make him a caster more than a straight tank, I was using Andromeda last night and another guy was using tree. 1 stun could drop his initial 1k something hp at lvl 1 to maybe greenish yelo or yelo depending wht level your at.

But his 1st skill is freakin dangerous if timed correctly he can wipe and entire team....the tree toss also helps with retreating heroes...again another support skill.

His tree walking (lawn mower skill) dominates the Treants eye skill. Plus it gves him a healthy buff to his speed making him runn like a rabbit with steriods.

*edit* Opps his utli also lowers the strength of Heavy strength users like treant as well. So overall his ulti is a very strong support aoe. But not competable with treants ult.

I'd take deadwood lowering your STR by 40% in an AoE over treant's 5 second lock anyday.

Tempest + Treant or Tempest + Deadwood?

I think the former fails more.

Keeper of Forest+Tempest+Deadwood+Behemoth=

haha new hero out? damn im oudated

yah. nasty tree.

his ulti is like witch slayer / pyromancer, except it is melee range, physical damage, stuns target for 1 second and slow down others near your victim.

his 1st skill is like a mini keeper of the forest ulti, and spammable also. cool down 14 seconds.

Keeper of Forest+Tempest+Deadwood+Behemoth+Plague Rider = 

Keeper+Tempest+Glacius+Behemoth+Plague Rider = Only Ulti
