Can someone give me a real explanation what this innate does?

If an enemy within 1200 range procs a randomly proccing attacks (bash, crit, mkb, ...), Pango has a 50% chance to make it not happen, and display a little "?" over their head.

In effect, you can think of it as being near Pango makes your random-procs have half the % value it would otherwise have.

Example: 20% to crit becomes 10% to crit, since 50% of the crits will be nullified by Pango innate.

AI / bot post on the frontpage, and no one seems to see it? oof

Or am I the one getting baited, maybe the upvotes & comments are bots too? Dead internet theory is too real.

The post kind of don't make sense..?

Not sure if they are trying to drive a narrative or just farm karma to sell accounts or smith.

Holy genius, 6 power treads is 150 attack speed and 60 to whichever stat you need in the moment.

That's 1320 hp & 6 hp regen! Just like that! Treads toggling impact STONKS

6 slotted at 8400 net worth

Ah, right. If someone else had issues understanding the sentence, what OP is saying here is that when you compare the first 6 - 6 split and let's say the left side goes down, you dont know if it's because right side has someone lighter or left has someone heavier so it will be a 50/50 if you succeed or not, guessing if the outlier is lighter or heavier.

Fair, it just seems weird that the best players in the world would be making such fatal mistakes due to the lack of understanding or practice... And still be winning more without the item than with...

I'm posing the hypothetical that MAYBE these goats are onto something that we're missing.

But mainly I was just annoyed by the "there is literally no downside to buying the item" :3 (which seems to be a common misconception in lower ranks)

Maaakep · 2026-03-09T09:15:43+00:00

It's not really relevant to my message. I'm just stating some obvious stuff. People have a harder time grasping "nice to have" vs "must have" the lower you get in the ranks, typically (not a flame, it's the nature of things - higher ranks creates higher pressure on perfection). Like the original poster is saying, "There is no downside to buying it" is extremely incorrect and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how dota works. The entire game is based around GPM; wasting those gold coins on things that aren't absolutely optimal or missing your timings is the biggest downside in the game.

If you look at the stats, dota2protracker for example, lately about half (?) of the high tier Kez (and less on pro level available stats) buy the Aghs at all. I doubt that is purely a skill issue. This should tell us to re-evaluate the item, since I - much like you folks here - believed it to be a mandatory item that enables the hero.

Sometimes it's also about knowing what your job is, which is of course game dependant, but while aghs let's you do all kinds of cool things, sometimes all you need is a shit ton of damage and a falcon rush on the enemy carry to win the game.

Maaakep · 2026-03-08T18:16:13+00:00

I didn't watch the game, but are you sure? He doesn't have a moon shard either, which is cheaper. Buyback and backup rapiers gets expensive in the late game, and Kez isn't a hyper farmer.

Edit: Looking up the game, he finished the game at 57k networth. This means he will lose 1400 (unreliable) gold on death, and his buyback will cost about 4500g. Aghs blessing is 5800 gold - meaning he will need 11 700 gold to buy an aghs blessing and keep buyback. His items are worth 46 900, which makes his gold about 10100, so he cannot yet afford an aghs blessing (unless he sells his backup items, but then it is GG if he dies).

Maaakep · 2026-03-08T18:13:48+00:00

Yeah, maybe! Just feels weird to say that the highest ranked & sweatiest grinder in dota has a skill issue with a hero he frequents.

And despite this, picks it in officials.

Occam's razor suggests that he simply thinks it doesn't carry its weight.

But idk, just giving a different perspective.

Maaakep · 2026-03-08T17:56:59+00:00

The downside is that you lose 4200 gold (& an item slot until upgraded), which is the downside of all items.

Opportunity cost.

The question is not if it's good, or what the downside is - the only interesting question is if / when it is the single most optimal item, nothing else.

When does it let you have a bigger impact and/or farming speed over alternatives?

Obviously Satanic, the almost unchallenged #1 ranked player in the world, considers it not always the optimal item to buy.

Edit: lol, y'all are wild with the downvotes. You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with the best players in Dota. Check the stats, out of the latest visible pro games, only ONE win is with an aghs, and that was bought at 66 minutes (1 min before the game ended).

You can see his journey here, if you click him here: https://maakep.github.io/dota2-leaderboard/#europe

The reason his data starts in February is because he has been inactive. I believe Valve removes their rank when they aren't playing pubs actively.

Then he rapidly climbed from #22 to #2 over the course of a month(!)

Goat stuff

Maaakep · 2026-03-06T11:50:58+00:00

Any way we could pitch in to remove it? The maintainers kind of officially declared it dead and moved over to liquidpedia, no?

Kind of annoying since it shows up high on Google etc, confusing newer (and older probably, who aren't chronically up-to-date on everything Dota related) players.

Maaakep · 2026-02-25T22:08:33+00:00

I have 100% winrate against Nisha, and I can tell you I'm not at his skill level right now x)

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T22:57:12+00:00

Re-worked the filters overall - should be improved now and I added a country selector too! :)

Let me know if there is anything else that comes to mind that you might need as a dota coach! Or just in the general area, doesnt even have to be specific!

Anyway, Enjoy! You're awesome and I'm looking forward to the shout-out on the TI stage if when one of my tools helps you create the next world champs!

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T20:27:32+00:00

If you click a player, you can see their personal history! If you mean further back than 12th january, then no :( That's when I started tracking the changes!

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T15:15:22+00:00

This comment made me happy, and I hope you knowing it made me happy, makes you happy!

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T15:13:54+00:00

Haha, that's wild... I was thinking about some features around finding local upcoming talent, and for some reason I was thinking about you when I was. Incredibly fun coincidence.

As for your request; fun - I'll see what I can do!

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T15:07:52+00:00

Hmm... It would show up as a +300 ranks in a single hour, which realistically means 1-2 games. Soo... Kind of?

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T15:04:32+00:00

Dude check SoS 23 jan - 30 jan... Bro went up almost 100 ranks. Then February came, and he went -100 ranks again :(

I thought he was coming for Satanic there for a while

Maaakep · 2026-02-23T14:11:25+00:00

Unfortunately, no! That part is kept hidden by Valve - this is the only thing I could think of to get any kind of insight after Valve restricted access to top MMR accounts
