Simply saying Rampage is a horrible hero is just retarded. Every single hero in HoN has it's purposes, just because he doesn't have CC doesn't mean he's bad.
Rampage is probably one of the best heroes to take out another, single, hero. The fact that with Marchers and Elder Parasite you're hitting 150 + Insane attack speed + potential stun lock is just stupid, he hits SO fucking hard, at every point in time during the game.
Yes, in 5v5 he is no ideal hero, however, he is very usefull if played correctly, and can help cripple a carry early game fairly easy.
I recently randomed him in a 3v3 and decided to play him, ended up compltely destroying the other team. He's just too easy to get farmed with early game, and can pretty much own anyone at level 6 (ult + charge + potential stun = any non blinking hero dead).
I stand by what i say, hes a shitty hero. Yeah he can gank, and he can solo squishy heros, but theres prettymuch a 4/5 chance that the other team has something to absolutely counter rampage because hes just that crummy all around. It's easy to prevent rampage from farming because early game he has nothing to contribute to a lane. He's not a bad hero because he can't gank and carry, he's a bad hero because there is nothing being contributed to the team he is on unless you want to count his movement speed aura? Any decent player isn't going to get charge/ult combo-ed...In a 1v1 game rampage would do ok, but there are a lot of fucking heros that carry a lot harder and have a lot more devastating abilities. Scout can silence. Night hound can cloud. Magebane can burn mana/blink, dark lady can silence, pesti can stun proc, pred can magic immune ult and gain life per hit, etc
I just don't see how rampage is a good pick in any team composition. There is a reason he isn't picked in higher tier games unless someone is trying to cheese
