I find it kind of funny myself there aren't any items that up spell/skill type damage, probably just to not have mass fireball teams or something . I'm not going to get into the rest of your post,

Trying to solo Reg or UB with Rook/TB, I'm assuming using not much strategy beyond what a right click offers. Very efficient.

Rook can quite possibly meet both the movement speed and attack speed cap with the correct build and gear.  He is a much stronger late-game force than the UB can ever hope to be.

uh... rook is the slowest of them all. it doesn't matter how much speed gear you put on it, someone else is always going to be faster (specially UB)

As for late game, i find it to be quite strong (mostly for the tower spam and huge melee damage) but still with the same problems as early game - can't run, can't hide - so you better pray you can hold your position.

I think the point is that characters who rely on skill based damage are at a disadvantage after lvl 15 since after that point skills doesnt scale while standard damage keeps rising.

To say that it doesnt matter because the game should end by then anyway is poor argument as it doesnt explain why some of the heroes should be more powerful than the others.

The game is all about the gear. Thats what you have to get in the mind set of thinking... GEAR.  Correct me if im wrong but thats what DOTA was about also. Demigods are accually pretty well balanced, you just have to make good gear choices to stay on top of the game at that particular time, and keep at it. 

Its also a team-based game. Fight as a team at first to get your gold.  Then use that gold for arti-items and then go on a smiting rampage. Simply thats it.

Stack armor and hp/hp regen against +attack speed stackers. Autoattacks are mitigated by armor. Also there are different items that proc on being hit. There's a damage return, a heal, and a shield. The faster someone attacks you, the higher the chance they proc since it's not capped to procs-per-period of time.

If you or your team has died enough that the enemy has been able to buy that many artifacts, you deserve to lose anyways.

Different heroes shine at different times. Reg and UB suck early, get okay mid, and dominate late game. That's okay from a design perspective.

So far you got 2 gameplay choices for your items.

Pure offensive build = Max damages, Attack speed, Critical.

Pure defensive = Max armor, Regen Hp, Max hp.

And from what I've seen the pure defensive build is better than offensive. I you can get 80% absorb, and a 100hp/sec regen, you're pretty much invulnerable

You're absolutely right.  In my balance thread I've said the attack/movespeed need to get added together differently and some items need nerfed +IAS like mageslayer, ashkandor, and all father ring.

There isn't much point in even 1500 dmg skills when people are doing 750DPS+crits.

Are you usre you can get 80%?  Even with bulwark.

Either way I suggested bulwark needs a nerf too.

Anyways.  Using skills should be the predominant way to play.  Sitting there and auto attacking takes much less skill.  You get mageslayer and ashkandor on regulas and it can be pretty gg with that huge +dmg, crit, and ias to proc crit more and add more dps from the stacked ias not to mention their other bonuses.

The stun is long enough if they are close to you.  It's just not long enough to boulder, tele, hammer which was bs in beta.

I do think that hammer didn't really need it's damage nerfed though.. or not as much.  I never use hammer anymore now.

Um I disagree with this though.

Assuming someone else may have the same speed items as well, thats a definate yes.

Not only that, but UB and sedna gain speed on skills, wich may make them even faster regarless of specific items.

In a game versus UB or Regulus its often a good idea to buy armor chests instead of hp regen, getting their damage reduced to 50% is quite easy really.
