Has Meepo ever seen competitive play in more recent metas. I know he was a top tier pick years ago, but to my knowledge he's since dropped out of favor. On July 27 2012 12:46 NB wrote: TC? he is being remake... stop dreaming. He will came out after techies for sure I thought Icefrog's intention to remake him was prior to his surge in popularity in the Chinese dota scene. I'm not sure Icefrog will go through with his plans to remake TC unless he shows himself to be completely broken, which doesn't seem to be the case. | ||

I play Dota often with my Taiwanese friends and their playstyle is very similar to the Chinese (if you think this statement is false, then say so kindly.) TC is usually picked as a ganker/semi-carry, and is sent to a duo lane to either harass with Ancestral Spirit, or use his Stomp to allow teammates to get in a nice position. Tauren Chieftan will often get a Battle Fury/Orb of Venom/SnY to add to his HP, physical damage, and attack speed. | ||

The only game TC game I've seen was kuroky, and he was trying to do this weird carry build. Solo mid is the most common, followed by solo on the unsafe lane. Items are like arcane boots + mek with BKB. When TC is picked together with ES, it's pretty deadly for teamfights. This is a game where they just used TC to stall out for AM's farm: Another game where LGD was owning with him: And LGD shows how abusive they can get with AOE: | ||

TC is a great laner with Ancestral Spirit. They usually build him tanky a support-ish build since he already does tons of damage due to Spirit and his ulti. | ||

If that's the case, then I'm not too sure :S I thought he was talking about pub games and the general style between normal players. Sorry about that! | ||

my first game of dota was on dota2 I choose BS because he looked cool, went mid because everybody say that's where I should go, give up first blood, ended up 3-18-15 with Tranquil boots, stout shield, Ring of Aquila, Crystalys and Wraith Band. surprisingly, not a single abuse. Just 1 guy telling me to 'dont get balsy' when Im getting low health. the next couple of games however ...... | ||

Mek/bkb's a pretty weird item combination. I'm a little surprised they can dedicate a solo mid lane to TC against very dangerous carries like DK, panda, ck, TA. By which I mean they must really think he can do a lot. | ||

I'm a little surprised they can dedicate a solo mid lane to TC against very dangerous carries like DK, panda, ck, TA. By which I mean they must really think he can do a lot. IIRC Chinese teams consider TC to be an incredibly strong pick against DK. DK relies a lot on his survivability lategame in order to get his full usefulness in fights, but TCs aura is incredibly powerful for putting DK in a position where he can't go all-out because he's not quite as tanky as he'd like to be. As far as laning goes, TC is quite a formidable laner. Particularly in melee matchups, Ancestral Spirit is extremely powerful, both in letting you farm, as well as in harassing and trading with the opposing laner. Ranged matchups can be somewhat less comfortable though. That said, sidelane TC seems to be a fair bit more common than solo mid recently. | ||

I hate people like you who can't play at least 2-3 bot games before playing against other people. | ||
