Ogre Magi is a melee intelligence hero who is played as a support or a ganker. At first glance, he appears to be a basic spellcaster with nukes, disables and buffs. However, what seperates Ogre Magi from a simple spellcaster is pure luck, due to his Multicast passive ultimate. If he gets lucky, all of his spells become much more powerful. Fireburst turns from a stun to a powerful nuke. Ignite becomes an area of effect skill that will burn away enemy health. He can also buff multiple allies with Bloodlust if he does get lucky. Although a hero that relies on luck might seem weak, a good Multicast will make you regret going up against him.

Fireburst damages and stuns the target. It is a rather basic stun, and the damage it deals is nothing to write home about. However, with Multicast you can do a lot of damage in one use, up to a maximum of 1100 damage from a 4x Multicast. You can use it to stun threats or hope for a Multicast when using it for damage.
Ignite
- Ability: Target Unit

- Damage Type: Magical

Ignite causes the target to combust, making them take damage over time and getting slowed. It is a decent followup to Fireburst, letting you do additional damage and slowing them so that you can catch up and finish them off. Multicast makes it a good AoE spell, letting you do damage to groups of enemies in teamfights.
Bloodlust
- Ability: Auto-Cast, Target Unit
- Affects: Allied Heroes
- Duration: 30
- Move Speed: 10% / 12% / 14% / 16%

Bloodlust increases the movement speed and attack speed of an allied unit. It is a pretty basic buff that should be used on strong physical damage-dealers like carries and semi-carries. Multicast lets you buff up multiple heroes near the target, which helps make your whole team stronger.
