IceFrog recently released the 6.53 map introducing a new hero, Rattletrap, the Clockwerk Goblin. This hero has a lot of potential to become a league picked hero in the future with his tremendous capability & map control. Although some claim he is merely a gank hero with very little team work potential except for his Rocket Flare ability which gives vision on the map, enabling ganks. Here we will examine the new hero inside and out, show you the pros and cons to determine whether or not the hero can be used for competitive play.
What confuses most people is the fact that it's a strength hero and seems like a late gamer by a first glance, but he is not, even in despite the fact that he has high strength gain. He is more like a caster.
The most important feature of this new hero is his third ability, Rocket Flare, which could just be the next imbalance in competitive DotA. The cooldown isn't long and unlike Beastmaster's hawk, it gives damage! The Rocket Flare can be shot within a 600 AOE, making it a perfect skill to gank areas like the neutrals or river spots. You may also use it for keeping an eye on rune spots without the need to leave your lane.
Here's a short video, introducing the new hero, enjoy!
Lets hear what the players have to say about the Goblin!
