League play is a joke. I havne't played dota in about 6 months, but do hella people still insist on plying -rd and -em? lol
Also, if you don't blow ass, having an AoE 6 second stun that you can plant, and get another down before the stun breaks is just rediculous. Not to mention, if you're actually playing hard you can do about 2450AoE damage in a matter of seconds. Combine with pretty much any other AoE setup ftw.
