Yeah, I don't know why EEL is so much higher than NEL. (Aside from there being a lot more euro players meaning it's probably easier to get a higher win% on europe there's not much logic behind it)

EEL was raised to 65 because of the massive influx of players wanting to join. NEL is currently at 60% after 250 games, or 60% after 40 games in ixdl-o. Although these are guidelines and don't guarantee a vouch.

@nevuk. EEL was 55% for the first week or two. Oh and also it's based off 600 games and not 250 like NEL.

I might have mixed some up. Sorry for that. I probably mixed up ixdl and tl because if ixmike at the time. All of the mentioned above based on win% is still retarded though. All it does is ensure that you need to get 40 or 250 games on a smurf account, as no one who doesn't have the required win% on their 1000 games+ accounts will have any chance at reaching that. While 40 is okish, I have no plans on wasting 250 games on my fake account just for some inhouse league that could easily have checked for other parameters to indicate skill value instead.

This was more true in the ixdl-i league, but NEL is a lot more strict and if you have just 250 games you will probably need to hit another of the two requirements which is the 40 games in ixdl-o or 3 vouch supports from good players.

I just checked Dotabuff, and found this guy http://dotabuff.com/players/118905717

He doesn't seem like a TLer, no mutual friends or associations with TL on his steam account.

Decent. Absolutely playable in pubs. Not good enough for tournaments or pro play. His initiation is just too slow, and its not really a pluss to have all your teammates bunched together inside a small space when initiating. Its a recipe for disaster.

Tusk is more or less an assassin style hero. If snowball ice shards punch doesn't get him kills he is really underwhelming.
He is really bad at playing from disadvantage, barring any stupid misplays(enemies getting careless).
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

He is the hero that I just do not enjoy playing all that much. When playing meepo, it ended up working well having Tusk since can ensnare so easily. Pretty much if caught, they be dead. But in overall, I always feel so weak compared to others.

I managed to have quit alot of success with a max frozen sigil second and to keep snowball at lv 1 ( the stunt and damge doesnt scale really well ) Frozen sigil is a deadly teamfight spell early on and i smashed alot of games by creating a good tempo early on

You have to control that sigil perfectly though. Any mistake results in a huge bounty going the way of the enemy team, and it does not have a lot of hp.

Your are right but team seem to not be coordinated to all focus the sigil and they get confused when you interupt them with snowball shard and ult

Tusk is master of diversion
