Impossible Viking/No Rune Mage Geyser No Loss

[ckdamascus]

As a Soothsayer, I was able to use solo level 5 stacks to beat heroes with Geyser with No Loss

However, as a Viking, I used non-stop Rune Mage phantoming, level 4s, paladin and it felt a little dirty.

Now in hindsight, I'm not really sure how I'd win it without such methods besides just killing the enemy really fast and waiting for the enemy to burn away all his mana before doing the massive resurrection project with phantom/gift/chargers/runic word/turn back time, etc.

Now that Geyser supposedly deals both cold and physical, it seems hard to resist it completely with stoneskin.

What are some of your thoughts on this? I'm considering some new unique builds, but most of them would be very weak against enemy heroes with geyser.
