Gaara power... OVERPOWER!! PROOF THAT FOC IS UNBALANCED!!

OK! so I recently started to use Gaara. After around 4-5 uses, i saw how fast he grew
- Level 16-18 Before the first DUEL!!

He can also get by without killing 1 single boss!

So... There is DEFINITELY imbalance in this game.

In version 8.1ze, His sand sky ability has been nerfed to around 5 seconds initially. (possibly connected with sand coffin???[first ability]) (Although it still says 10 seconds with 40 sec cooldown) but later it becomes 10 seconds..

Additionally, In regards to shiki, If you know how to play with him, he can also farm dragons/big skeletons (2000 gold). Because of his item/agility bonus, and if you know the right items, he can be strong. Also his critical ultimate does 76000 DAMAGE!!

Those are just 2 examples, also if you count Kill-stealing, and End-Game boss Kill-Stealing.

I'm sure there's more..

Just destroy gate of infernal and don't let him train, they aren't lot of pro who focus someone. Gaara imba? I don't think he only has trap just use wood or blink before you finish the spell, if you are very fast you can dodge.

I've not understand :/

Nope shiki can be counter if he was imbalanced, they would ban him.
Against pro shiki can kill 4 or 5 maximum, just need be far too him (1000 range best)

Hrm, the gate has almost nothing to do with the level-up. this is jumping from level 10 to like 16 with 1 move of his lv 10 skill.

Just don't let him spawn if he does kill him you wil search lvl 16 before he uses

you dun get xp if u die u know?

so just kill him and no lvls for him.

juz get a teammate with aoe nuke. and nuke wherever he sands assuming u do have an aoe skill to spam too

I suppose but it's kind of hard when he's invisible. Also, even though you die you resurrect fairly quickly. And there's global exp gain for your own kills.

There's also invisibility...

the time u die + the time u spawn takes bout 7 secs. That's more then 3/4 of his xp gone.

to counter invi.....well an eye costs a mere 500 gold and unlike dota it won't drop when you are killed......

if you REALLY want a good counter to him then use lancer, hitsugaya or any of the 2 image heroes.

lancer as his v (the one which forces you to move back) cancels his net when used (works on gilga's net btw). His ubw also helps him to survive gaara's sandpit since it gives him bout 1.5 sec invul AND recovers his hp when activated. He can also at least disturb gaara's farming from dragons with his ulti as that knocks em out of the pit

The below only applies to ver 8.1i onwards though :

hitsu as his bankai is imba. You ain't even able to net him when he is in bankai (says something bout unable to use on air units). Sandpit also doesn't affect him meaning he can just walk out of the sandpit or even just farm whatever is inside the pit!!

Either the image heroes work as when u split u get out of net. Morever kisame is a MUCH better farmer then gaara is so he can outfarm gaara np. As for sandiame.....well although not as good as a farmer but if u know how to use his shield (r hotkey), whatever mobs are in that shield DOESN'T TAKE DAMAGE FROM SKILLS OTHER THEN YOUR OWN. Meaning gaara don't get xp and can't farm if you use the shield right as he pits. It also takes up loads of space so creeps can't get into the pit.
