When ever I see someone get sniper, I always cringe. I swear, it must have something like 5% win ratio on him, the hero just seems so ehhhhhhh.

43% winrate. I mean, he's no Ursa, but he isn't an insta loss. Also note the significantly higher sample size on him compared to a lot of the other heroes around him. He gets picked by new players a lot and the recommended item build for him is terrible.

I'm guessing it has more to do with the low sample rate. 162,204 vs 360k for Sniper for instance. People like to be dwarfs that have a KS ability. They don't like being walking ults/aura machines.

I think it's more like his aura is actually very, very good in all lanes, his survivability is insane with his pulse, invis, his ulti is great, and there really isn't a bad way to play him. Also, he is very underwhelming to look at, so n00bs don't pick him because he looks cool/has cool abilities/raped them last game.

So, what do you all think of the new visuals for Lunas and Lifestealers skill animation? Strike for Luna looks nicer since it has an actual impact, whereas the openwounds is much brighter and more obvious.

Edit: I think open wounds looks a little too pronounced. Needs to be toned down a little bit I think.

What luna needs isn't the animation, she needs the wc3 glaive mechanic back
due to the method of handling variables in the wc3 engine, moon glaive will only remember the targets hit on the last glaive, therefore once your attack speed reaches a certain point, your previous glaives become able to hit the same target more than once

in a 1v2 fight, this would add something around 90% of luna's damage distributed among the 2 targets
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Pudge is the most commonly used hero, can't say I'm completely surprised lol. Very fun, if not difficult to play welll.

Pudge is most played because of Dendi probably.

And noobs like sniper because other noobs can't deal with him. I'm guilty of it too. My first 3 games were as sniper, and I won all 3, because I just autoattacked the other heroes and they didnt notice how much damage I was dealing I guess. I thought Sniper was a god.

fair enough, but was motly commenting on just the subtle animation change. Does not really change anything, since most wont even notice the changes.

It has very little / nothing to do with Dendi, it's just a fun hero to play, and has been the most popular pick in pubs for at least 5 years.
