so mid shaker also has the same levels as (roaming) support shaker?
really?
you underestimate how devastating a core shaker with solo exp can be mate. by a lot.

its actually one of the biggest things for shaker that he can evade ganks pretty good with his fissure.
good positioning + wards and one fissure is enough to stop ganks very often.

You have more damage ofc, but I gladly take for example mek advantage from gold difference from lost midlane.


so you get your mek first. which means you pretty much have go on the lanes now and fight, so i have a nice time getting my dagger up.
otherwise your 2k gold lead (which is calculated WAY TO HIGH btw) is useless and the ganking mid won already.
as soon as you pressure the a tower, shaker can rotate and defend the tower with one of the strongest defensive skillsets in the game.

if the other mid ganks you have exactly 2 options.
1) you push the tower
2) you countergank.

just farming gets you way behind.
this is btw also the reason why a hero like dragon knight is a fearsome mid. he dosent win the lane, he isnt a good ganker, but as soon as you leave the lane, he takes the tower and from there on, every time he has his ultimate up he will do this.

how many times i had players in mid that dominated the other hero, pudge e.g. but dont understand that they have to punish the roaming mid for leaving the lane. so even if pudge died 2 times early on, he can still win the game, because he didnt get punished for his actions around the map.
THIS is the really important part of the story. i dont care about 2k gold deficite in mid, when my roaming completely sets the tempo of the game.

I know, right!? It's getting boring. =/ What also sucks is that when someone leaves a roster it's always: "it was a mutual agreement between all parties involved, we're leaving on good terms, good luck to player X in the future." or some other boring-ass generic garbage statement. That is sooo boring. I want the press releases to be honest, it would be much more fun if it said "we kicked him, because he sucked and didn't want to practice!" Or the player saying "I left because the captain is a piece of shit and I don't want to see him ever again!"

Thats what CIS Dota has been in the past. And now look, every singe CIS roster with some veterans in it is written off by the english community immediately. Just because of past statements like these and their "big egos".

it is pointless to discuss with you, as you bring examples of mid matchups that can not be won by shaker.

The discusiion was about ES vs very good laners, I agree that most matchups are decent enough for him to do well.

too bad shaker get fucked so hard by so many mid


so whats that statement???
there are a lot of mid heros that get stomped there, but win by achieving important things on the map.
pudge e.g. is one of them.

armlet on shaker is not a good idea though.
you need that blinkdagger asap. and armelt dosent give you anything you want.
yes ikts more dmg with the totem, but if you think about it, you have the level advantage from the mid lane
so you combo does already a lot of dmg, why would you delay your blinkdagger for that?

it is not your job to onehit someone. its your job do burst some1.
and for the shaker, he can bursat the whole team.

you can compare it to void.
people who play faceless void often think that they have to kill 3 people inside the chrono. thats just not true.
you need a good chrono where your allies can hit the enemys too. thats the real scary thing.
if your faceless void carry is able to kill 3 people inside the chrono, this game is over for 30 min anyways

the statement is that you'll get a blink later than if you were pulling/stacking/ganking so its beyond useless. It's just a freewin.

everything works against worse players than yourself yes, but against an equal/better opponent you're just asking for it

Not even Viper and Razor win. Nobody wins with those two heroes. Everyone loses.

"I kicked him out of the team because he slept with my girlfriend" sounds familiar. Now we know whats missing in dota to become the master esport.
Might have been "He kicked me out of the team so I slept with his girlfriend" cba remembering 4yo drama
