How can people fuck up with ench that much? Ench is so strong :-o

IO is actually ridiculously strong in pubs provided that you have any remote idea of how to play the hero. The only thing you need is a carry who can farm even a little bit.

Max overcharge first and become the extra item your carry needs to really dish out the damage.

For best results I suggest LC.

ench needs a bunch of items to be relevant in the lategame (but greedy jungling midas -> orchid etc. often loses the game before you had any impact). The hero only works if your team actually pushes with you, unlike a lycan or furion ench can't really push much alone. You want to push early with ench, but often players are in the mindset that they are still in the "laning phase" and they don't want to gather and push with you. Also low MMR players have problems to control creeps.

Problem with alch is the people that play him. I see too many Alch carries. He doesn't work so well as carry right now, but he is still a good support or mid.

IO also requires the person you are working with to have the ability to quickly move the mini map and not be an idiot. This is a lot to ask of the average dota player.

Honestly the number of times that I relocate with IO per game is less than 3. Literally just overcharge and tether heals all day.

Yeah, I like IO and it is a super cool hero, just working with some of my trench carry friends is just to annoying. But these are the same dolts who refuse to play support and then let an unused BKB sit in their inventory all game.

Also, Techies has been as ineffective as I expected. Only one scary moment with stasis trap to report at point. But techies is no match for a mildly farmed BB with a hood.

anyone knows if they fixed the all hero challenge? I won my meepo game on the first try yesterday, just for it to not count, and I'd rather be sure that it's fixed before trying again

Alch is still one of my favorite mid heroes. People underestimate his damage output with level 3 stun and level 2 acid spray.

He nerfed so hard, you can't even win anymore
Jokes aside, pub win rates mostly dominated by people don't know how to play that hero.

Shadow Demon is hard to play and difficult to understand. He is no every man hero like EarthShaker. Its why when I am captain and someone requests them, I give it to them. Because no one requests that hero unless they know how he works.

And then he is a tiny god.

One of my favorite supports, but I'm still not all that great with him. Getting soul catcher placement right is so hard sometimes...

SD has some of the best set up in the game and I love having a good one on my team, but man that hero is hard. I can't play him yet and I am not willing to make my team suffer through my learning when I could just play ES and do work.

Plus ES super fun and a good ult can just make my day.

Honestly the two supports that I really would love to learn better right now are Kaolin and SD.

Specifically if I could get any semblance of how to play Kaolin I'd be fucking ecstatic.
