Yeah, because it's super easy to just walk up and kill him. It's not like he has 550 attack range, so he can lasthit comfortably from pretty far away, or anything.

And yeah, I try to not be in a lane against him, but lanes in pubs are not always super predictable. You can easily end up against him as a melee carry. Trying to organize a lane swap in pubs is also not the easiest thing in the world.

Also, lol LGD.int :D

Then I guess cry and hope for ganks. But seriously, what was your situation? You were safelane solo against him also solo I'm guessing.

No it was a dual lane vs dual lane. bristleback+Veno offlane vs Necro+a support safelane... I don't remember it was a while ago. It's a bitch to deal with, we even blocked the pullcamp I think, but it didn't matter.

Who would solo hard lane a Necrolyte?

The only reasonable scenarios where Necrolyte would make sense are 1v1 mid, safe lane solo, or as part of a duo somewhere.

Since the recent patch I have been getting graphical glitches. Specifically, certain animations show up as an explosion of red crosses instead of the correct art asset. I have tried verifying the game files but it did not fix it. Anyone know how to solve this?

I would post on the Steam tech support forum (dev.dota2), but when I registered and tried to activate it directed me to Italian pages and when I entered the code that they emailed me it did not work.

He also makes sense on safe lane with a dual roaming supports, or a jungler and one roamer/dedicated puller with attempt to get both t1 and t2 at 5 minutes with a 3:15 catapult pull. Same thing though.

If he maxes the aura he will indubitably push the lane towards your tower(especially with pull camp blocked). There should be no way to deny his own range creep(since his melee creeps will beat yours).
You just have to not damage the creeps at all for a wave or two.
Once you're at full hp and mana and the lane is in your favor, you can just go and kill him. Veno slow and bb stacking slow should stop him from fleeing and stacking damage from quill spray will outdamage his (underleveled) heal easily.

The right response is preparation for a kill attempt.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

Necro + "a support" is really not specific because TBH which support it was actually matters a lot in terms of how you play the lane.

For example, an Earthshaker makes pushing kill attempts hard, but he has no harassment/trading ability so you want to force small trades/bait early Fissures whereas a different support makes it easier to get a kill attempt.

EDIT: Also, Veno+Bristle don't complement each other as a duo offlane and they barely accomplish anything that Bristle wouldn't do on his own. For all intents and purposes, the Veno is just leeching the Bristle's XP. A support like Maiden or Rubick fit Bristle much better.

it'd be nice to see necrolyte in competitive games but i wouldn't really know how to make him go from a never picked to a situational one. i don't think he's atrociously bad either, just would be nice.

He already is a situational pick.

The thing about "situational" picks is that typically unless a team already has a player who is good enough at the hero, it's hard to justify having someone commit a lot of time and effort to learning the hero from scratch. But teams that already have a player who is quite good at the hero do use it sometimes (DK at TI3).

To be honest, there arent many melee carries you would solo hardlane either. I dont think its a matchup you can make much sense of either way.

Support OD + bristle, remember that back in the days as a pub lane?

I did not expect black to be on lgd.int, or freedom to continue playing up to enlistment in NS.

Sick news. Looks like a lot of teams do like SEA players and are willing to take them on

What are everyone's thoughts on random gold? Against better players I feel like it can heavily skew mid matchups (playing night stalker vs random gold QoP or Batrider = FML)
