Gyrocopter

Aurel the Gyrocopter is a ranged agility Hero, capable of outputting a lot of single target and AOE damage, at a multitude of ranges. Earlygame, Gyrocopter is a strong ganker, able to output a lot of damage in a short amount of time if he and his target are alone. His defining ability, Homing Missile, is a long range projectile that forces opponents to either stop and engage to take out the missile, or run to a safe location before being stunned. Thanks to his third ability, Flak Cannon, he is also an excellent pusher, and with it can farm up big items in the midgame as his spells start to fall off in damage. Flak Cannon also allows him to hit everyone in a teamfight with his autoattack, and with enough damage items he can inflict a lot of damage to the entire enemy team. With an Aghanim's Scepter, Gyrocopter can become a global presence, able to push or gank from anywhere on the map with his low cooldown ultimate.

Gyrocopter is a quirky yet powerful hero who can dominate at the start and can eventually transition into a strong Semi-Carry, however he is very fragile with a short attack range, and requires good positioning to not get himself killed. He is recommended for intermediate players.
