players of equal skill, puck > qop. ezpz.

This was actually discussed in the commentary for G-League.

N3komata said that after a lot of deliberating and playing the matchup, the consensus among Chinese players is that at mid level, where both players make a lot of mistakes, Puck has the advantage. But at high level, if the number of mistakes are very few, QoP has the advantage.

Have trouble against sf as puck. Unless you do really well early, your defensive abilities don't help him eventually massing up souls, then you just lose.

What? No, that's wrong.

You have solo-killing and gank-assist ability against SF at all levels. Only if you get lax and let him get souls he shouldn't does he catch back up. Otherwise if you control the lane well and abuse your solo kill threat, you can crush SF out of the game.

SF just punishes you if you stop playing the lane extremely tight, but that's true of SF vs anyone.

Was very curious to see how Dendi's SF would turn out against the mouz Puck.

So SF got outlast hitted early (8 to 4), eventually Chen helped him. But SF died twice to ganks.
But however, even by then, SF had so many souls that puck couldn't even 1v1 him with his ult. And SF ends up being one of the last hit leaders, 6-10 minutes in.

if it's just a 1v1 mid type thing I think QoP could just out CS/deny to the point she gets way more moneys. If it's a real game it's hard to say if puck plays perfect QoP shouldn't be able to kill and if QoP plays perfect she should never be over aggressive to be killed by puck. I think in both scenarios with perfect play QoP should out CS/Deny. Real game too tough to judge in a vacuum though because of ganks/zapports etc.

Puck outtrading QoP is also reliant on her committing or making a mistake (either throwing a spell into an easy Phase Shift or walking into an Orb). Both sides punish the other for committing/making mistakes, but on pure lasthit fundamentals, QoP will win because of how much better her animation/projectile speed are.

Haven't seen the game yet, would like a VOD link.

8 to 4 lasthits is already better than expected for an SF on the first 2-3 waves, honestly. And if Puck can't just 100 to 0 SF solo after 2 kills, then something happened that you're not mentioning.

EDIT: nm Puck got pooled too

It was Bone7, not Fata though. That makes a diference.

I'm not sure I'm seeing how this game is representative of anything. The Chen creep's help at level 2 basically burns Bone7's Salve for free and the 2nd Chen creep forces Puck to wait for Tango healing at ~200 HP when he's 1 creep from Bottle. Dendi basically gets to lasthit the subsequent 2 waves for free because of that. At 2:30, Dendi is already even with Bone7 on lasthits. That has nothing to do with how the Puck/SF matchup plays and everything to do with Chen helping + Bone7 misplaying against the Chen creep help (he literally walked ON TOP of the Centaur to attack Dendi, which let him get Centaur stunned with creep aggro on him).

Everything else past this point is a foregone conclusion from the fact that SF has 11/1 creeps at 2:45. The first gank didn't even help Puck because he didn't get the kill, the XP was split 4 ways, SF already had his Bottle, and he still had more souls than he should even counting for the 6 he lost on death.

The theoretical 'who wins mid' isn't exactly always accurate when talking about outcomes in pro games.

If you look at most of the better mid players currently, like f.e s4, if he's in a disadvantaged match-up he will almost always get a drive-by courtesy of Akke or someone to weigh it in his favor.

It's just funny that he mentions Puck not being able to 1v1 SF "later" when everything that was done to lose the lane happened in the first 2 minutes.

I didn't watch that particular game but I just commented because we very often see someone win mid and the community or commentators will say "he's playing well he shouldn't win that match-up." When even like a tiny bit of harass from supports that burns consumables or sends them back to base can really screw someone over. (let alone having to play cautiously to avoid that harass, or getting killed)

Does the new bloodseeker silence remove living armor? If it does, it might be a legitimate counterpick. How do you lane him, tho? Can he handle mid? I don't think its a good idea, because he will just forfeit all runes and generally not have a big impact on the game for a mid hero, I think. I guess you could run him as a "support" on the safe lane and just pull jungle with him. Also, pray they don't agresive trilane, because if they do, you're fucked.
