1. turn on moba keys 2. hover mouse over enemy hero 3. Press DEW in rapid sucession 4. wait .5 seconds 5. Press Q That's pretty much all it takes to use the hero effectively The problem imo isn't too much innate brokenness, but a kit that abuses Dota2 engine and 0 animations in a way that abilities that should require some thought or execution simply don't | ||

It's broken when people has a clue at what they do, not that it's hard to execute. not only when the player has a clue...you also rely on your teammates and if you have teammates that go 0-10 after 10minutes and the enemy carry is really fat he doesnt care about ES that much. i had a game with jerax in which he had around 25-3 and we still lost because our carry and potm had no clue how to play (=zero items) edit: and please dont take winrate as the only factor that matters. reminds me of david kim and his approach to balance -.- | ||

And his chainable, AOE damage over time it's just icing on the cake. | ||

Batrider at least had to flash farm dagger for 9 mins before he became an unstoppable destroyer of lanes, es just needs lvl 3 to do the same. | ||

The missing element is that the average pubber has no clue how to play him to make it easy on themselves and get tons of ganks off, guaranteed. Its like...I dunno...Gondar maybe? Gondar does really well with Phase/Drums, maybe a medallion and whatever. And at low levels invisibility=invincibility so you should be able to gank consistently until they start moving as 5. But your average pubber builds a Battlefury instead, then wonders why they're not doing too much. | ||

It coumd be a nice start, an animation on the ston so you have to think a bit ahead of time where you want to place it instead of DEWRQ in a flash or whatever combo. | ||

Disclaimer: This is subjective and only applies to my low tier and own experience. I am sure since the majority here is 5.5k+ that he is a lot more abused there, esp when played in a stack and people coordinate mid ganks all the time (ES guarantees a mid kill almost everytime). After all those weeks I don't fear him that much anymore and I don't think he is Lycan or Centaur tier prenerf. Pls no flame me edit: TA is pretty good against him indeed in midlane. | ||

Often times when he is instapicked people will moan etc. and the morale is pretty low when he gets the first couple of kills. But it's Dota and you can easily come back from this when your lineup has atleast one farming core and you have the right mindset and don't give up early. LC with Blink and Huskarr are pretty good against him. I'd say in my bracket (4700+) he doesnt win games by himself anymore. But yes he needs another slight nerf like casttime for the stones (might be too big idk). . pls, 4700 is not trench  | ||

All of MMR is a trench. It's like one of those fractal graphs where you just keep zooming out and everything remains the same just in a different scale. | ||
