Gyrocopter

So you just randomed Gyrocopter and you only have sixty seconds to learn how to play Gyrocopter. What will you do? Never fear: this is DotA in :60.

Gyrocopter is a cute and cuddly grandpa with his head in the clouds and a finger on the trigger.

He's got four mechanical powers, the first of which is "Lead Poisoning" -- a vicious barrage of bullets designed to replace an enemy's innards with pure plumbum.

His second offering is the deceptively devious "Air Mail" -- an ancient prototype of a heat-seeking rocket that stalks your prey like a tiger. It may take a while to get going, but don't worry -- you can still get it up.

"Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lawn" hurls out buckets of bullets to drive back the young whippersnappers who get all up in your grill.

Ulti-time! "Bombs Away!"

With "Lead Poisoning" you can teach a quick lesson in biochemistry, with "Air Mail" you can send out presents like Santa Claus, with "Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lawn" you can stop the silly shenanigans, and with "Bombs Away" you can introduce the local populace to Little Boy and Fat Man! Whasssup!

So what about items?

He's got glaucoma -- think agility!

He's quite the dandy -- even pilots need boots.

Power Treads and Shadow Blade are the most popular, but if you want my advice Manta Style will turn you from a lone goose into a flight risk and catch a Butterfly if you can pull it off because "every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe!"

Thanks for watching this video, good luck in your match, drop some wards, do a flyby on the tower!
