The fountain hook

The cheekiest way to kill a hero: drag it right to your own fountain. Shorthand for a genius trick that later gets "fixed" by a patch.

Pro scene and history

• Dota 2 memes explained

Origin

• The International 2013, Na`Vi vs TongFu. Dendi's Pudge hooks an enemy while Chen teleports Pudge back to base — and the hooked hero flies along, straight into the fountain. Valve removed the combo later, though similar tricks have resurfaced in events like Diretide.

Example

• "Chen and Pudge on one team? Fountain hook incoming."
