Ember is not even particularly strong compared to a lot of old first pick heroes. Slight nerf would be warranted but I don't know why people think he's all that ridiculous.



Because he has crazy mobility, is pretty hard to kill due to said mobility, has huge range with SoF, has big burst damage early with Remenants, Bolas, and SoF, and can scale decently.

He's an extreme hero. His stats are laughable for a farmer and his laning is similar to Pudge's (though better) in that he loses most common MUs but punishes mistakes.

Doesn't mean he's really OP as so many seem to claim.

He's actually just broken.

Well he's certainly not hugely OP.

But if by "broken" you mean "unfun and needing a rework" then I can see where you're coming from. Personally I don't hate the hero but I can see why others would.

All of those heroes I listed are extremely high impact heroes with very low risk/high reward. They're also picked every pub game and it's ruining dota.

If he's so incredibly strong all game why does he have a losing record in pubs and a 51% win rate for pros?

Edit: Having strengths is not the same as being strong. Ember is a slightly too good hero, and incredible in some ways, but he's not that that imbalanced because he also has clear weaknesses. Now, you can argue strengths + weaknesses = bad balance, but that's a different point to claiming he's just straight up too strong.

Nice insight. Are you going to bring up pre-nerf earth spirit's pub win rate too?

Did you miss the part where I brought up BOTH pub play and pro play?

We knew that Earth Spirit was far too strong at top level play. We know that Ember is not far too strong at top level play. Pretty clear difference.

I think it's far too early to say that. There was a lot of experimentation, and still is, about builds and roles. We need more games and more granular data to make any sort of determination. It's entirely possible that that 51% is dragged down by Embers going Arc/Drums/Maelstrom and getting rekt. It's also possible that it's dragged up by rtz never ever losing on that hero not even ever. Needs more time.

People lose to Ember in the draft. There's really no excuse to lose to an Ember with the right lineup. I just don't think people are used to drafting around Ember yet.

Sure. And there need to be some tweaks to the hero. SoF only hitting units you have vision of would be one, and honestly that change by itself is probably more than enough.

Why is Bruno starting April Fools so early? Though I have to admit Pitlord and 6.81 would be a nice treat.

There's a difference between a hero that's strong in competitive and one that's strong in pubs.

Ember's a lot stronger in pubs than he is in competitive.

I think teams aren't picking correctly against ember, but I think he should be more considered a situational last pick compared to where we are now.

But holy shit this hero in pubs is amazing.

The broodmama is sad and needs the cold embrace of the frog to come back into glory. Ember Spirit is fine as is and shouldn't be touched.

So shush

The issue with old bm and current phoenix is that they just win the offlane unless you pick around them. Its no fun when one hero can win 1v1/2/3 vs. 90% of the pool
