Shadow blade still works ok on kunkka I think. Its definitely nice having an escape mechanism and the damage is of course good on him. Obviously the old build up of shadowblade-->daedalus is much much weaker since the nerf, but im not sure what a better build up is, since daed is still core for pubstomping with him.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I mean, I know it still works, just the fact that it can't crit was...underwhelming. Screw it, i'm getting Shadowblade + Desolator + Divine Rapier next game I play.

Don't. Care. At. All.

Just go for the next level blink + rapier build. Blink for positioning and rapier for instant winning

My go to build on Kunkka is phase, shadowblade, double daedalus. If the game keeps going start getting rapiers.

So this is my second game in the past few days:
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

Facing 4 and 1/2 of the most annoying heroes in the game atm. How are you supposed to stay sane when this happens? Still, could have played it better. Way better.

Long story short, if you take a few days break from dota, have a shitty internet connection and are tired, SMURF OR BUST. Learned my lesson.

Yeah, medusa is awful. After 3 big items you still can't carry shit. You need to be at AT LEAST 5 slot before you can actually think about carrying, and your last slot needs to be an aegis too.

Also what is with medusa players who can't farm? Like, free farm in a trilane + stacked jungle -> ~30 minute linkens... :/

Skeleton king just needs mobility. Shadowblade on him is OPWTFBBQ. Almost as OP as not picking him




People play Dusa too much like a wuss. Once you have Linkens/Manta you can deal kids pretty easily with split shot images by just standing and delivering. Once you have Linkens/Manta/Skadi or Linkens/Manta/Bfly, you can pretty much destroy the whole opposing team.

Once you have Manta and Linkens you can man up and tank everything

and still you don't do any damage. Medusa has this gap where she is really weak, Medusa is actually really strong around level 7-11(the mystic snake is a fuckton of damage). However when Mystic Snake falls of she lacks severly in the damage department, even with Linkens, Butterfly and Manta she still doesn't do much damage relativly speaking.



Dusa's strength has never been damage, it's her ability to man tank sand king ults, lich ults, etc. and still stand while still doing damage. Her 'damage' is her ability to cover the whole fucking screen in arrows if you can't kill her illusions fast enough. She outlasts the opposing team, and does enough damage where teams have to waste CC on her or get clobbered into the ground. If she does get Linkens/Manta/Bfly/Skadi, she simply does not die, and outlasts your team. That's why Dusa was originally so good in the first place. Her ability to sustain enough DPS to warrent targetting, but the ability to eat ults to the face all day as long as mana burn isn't present.

Her problem is getting to the point where she can face tank and clobber people into the ground. It requires a complete free farm of 25+ minutes, which doesn't happen all that often anymore due to the way the game is played now.

if you watched the end of demons stream, it's actually possible to do so, but you need a qb and a set of wards. Then no troll warlord or you're fucked.

Dusa is alright but you cannot pick this hero early. If the enemies have no way of killing towers (which includes killing everyone of your team and right clicking them down,) and your team needs someone to pick up a lot of farm, it will work. 20 minutes of fairly uninterrupted farm on this hero is basically a free win.
