Wow that focus mode is cool, since when do you have that in articles?

Excellent article on an excellent hero. Really hope she doesn't get major nerfs, as I'm pretty pumped to see a once-dominant hero return after some absolutely crippling nerfs.

Yeah I meant TI3 profiles only. Just two?


I intend to write a third profile, though it might be finished too late to be included in this stretch of coverage. If TL has moved on to different things at that point, it'll still be available on dotametrics.wordpress.com and announced on Twitter (@dotametrics).

For now though, Emu's right that this isn't the last you'll hear of Naga here, and yes, Roshan's going to figure in quite prominently.

It was implemented late last year for some BW articles ( thanks to Hawaiianpig). And we have been using it in every Dota 2 article since January of this year.

Totally called that support naga would be a thing. Restoring cd on rip tide helped though. Still no blink dagger support naga is disappointing though.

Great analysis. I would have expected most teams to know how to counter naga by now. Maybe her ensnare is just too overpowered though.

Yes. Although for our upcoming Alliance feature we will be expanding a bit on this Naga Profile, specifically EGM's use of her.

does that coincide with EGM also finding a use for Heaven's Halberd?

Heaven's Halberd was never really a useless item, it just isn't really a comfortable item to build on a lot of heroes. It has always been a strong item though.

useless is not mutually exclusive with powerful. it had virtually no use because in just about every situation another item was better but the niche for it did technically exist.

It always had a few uses for heroes such as DK, maybe clock. Not many heroes are suited for it, but definatelly not useless.
In TI3, for example, Naga was responsible for 8 out of 26 times the item was built. A very relevant number, but not exactly dominant.

D'you guys think Heaven's Halberd will become super popular once Legion Commander is released? I mean, he (/she?) kinda did rely on it to win duels reliably in dota 1 iirc.

I called for the naga resurgence prior to TI3, she made me proud. She is so much more effective in position 4 to initiate and counter initiate. Riptide helps with pushing too. Overall, excellent utility hero when used right.

Really Tide is going to be Tide. He just out of meta right now since laning for Tide is to expensive for mid solo or offlaner
but too slow for a position 4.

Dat EGM Naga! I think Naga is a great support especially for greedy supports since they can get some items on her to help in the late game.
