I never understood why he was named Lion in the first place.. He looks like the yellow bastard from Sin City, and the new one just looks like a cat who is furious someone shaved him

I really think they could completely scrap Lion and do a total remake and it'd be for the better.. his visual design is just plain bad.

That line on its own got my roommate into dota. He heard it come out of my speakers one day completely out of context and died laughing.

He looked like a guy who had gone through hell, and that's pretty much Lion's whole gimmick. Not everyone can be a handsome demigod like Invoker.

you're supposed to get pooled regen, then you should win the lane handily


Regen will not save you from double entangle. Sylla should be able to 100-0 you off that.

Not hard lane vs. safe lane--he'd have to dive to force the kill and Gyro's team would have to straight up ignore him for him to die to that dive and not counter-kill the Sylla.

I haven't played the matchup but Erasme is probably right that Gyro with both pooled regen and safe lane advantage probably should be enough to win. It's not quite the same if it's mid or if he doesn't get pooled regen.

I think bulldog druid killed burning gyro in the g1 league, twice that way. Sylla got counter killed maybe the second time, but who cares.

Nope, it was vs lgd and he had enchant support. Though I have seen him solo kill gyros, maybe dreamhack.

That was with no pooling and the advantage of coming to lane with a level 1 Rosh (remember that was the game with the Alliance 5 TP level 1 Rosh strat). Bulldog was halfway to level 3 before he even came to lane.

This means that Bulldog hit 5 about a minute earlier than a Sylla would in a "normal" game. Coupled with the fact that DK also lost the aggressive trilane (357 died at virtually the exact same time that Burning did), this means that the supports did not have enough gold in time to TP counter the dive at level 5 when in a "normal" game they probably could.

EDIT: Checking the VOD, Alliance even gave Bulldog the lasthit on Rosh. So he came to lane with a 350 XP and ~400 gold advantage.

Since I normally play support (SD in the current game) how much should I pool the gyro? 1 tango / salve? both? more?

1set of tangos from each support should work
but that matter only if your team is capable to win the trilane with that disadvantage and if your gyro actually knows how to play dota


Thanks!
So 1set of tangos should do on my noob (normal) level
Most of my gyros already win the lane (with the tangos they should win 99%^^), but sometimes they have questionable (imho) itembuilds like arcane boots & aghanims (but I dont really care).
My trilanes are normally at least able to draw even since I seem to be the only one who pulls the hard camp as radiant on my level *shrug*
And sentries to deward the dire camp spot are completely unheard of

Lion and slardar could both do with a complete remake, imo.

Being ugly isn't a problem in-and-of itself, but there's menacingly ugly and pathetic, squat waddling ugly. Lion II was the latter, and that doesn't really make you want to play the character.

I'm not an enormous fan of the new one, though. The rest of him is still the same, and he kinda makes me think of bristleback now.

I'm not sure they would do a remake of heroes who already have cosmetics on the market, though. I always assumed that's why heroes like SF and VS have no items; because they're in "we're not so sure about this model" box.

All things considered he was a clown in Dota 1, looks fine to me right now and it even did previously. Slardar needs to be way more menacing though, he is kinda moe right now(esp with that lightbulb).
