why is kunkka so fun. i hated him in dota 1. but in dota 2 he's so satisfying, maybe it's the sound effects... or maybe it's that i can land boats really consistently.

very helpful tool for changing the shitty 'recommended' items Valve would have you default to.

dotahut was pretty decent for guides but they seem to have died off in the past few months, or at least are not anywhere near as useful for any of the new heroes (they had various pros writing guides, many of which are now outdated).

Riot is proud that 90% of their roster is used in their season 2 tournament.
But the reason for this isn't because everything's balanced, it's because everything is changed every two weeks, so obviously the picks will change often and everything will seem viable.
I much prefer IceFrog's way of doing things, he allows players to figure out what to do, or the meta changes so a hero falls out of style.
And yet, a lot of different heroes are picked in DotA, they work in certain lineups and strategies, almost all of them, it's just that some are a lot better for the current meta.

actually i'd say there isn't a single hero in dota that doesn't have a lineup that works well for them and that they couldn't easily be replaced by another and have the lineup work the same. Unlike lol who have a ton of redundant characters. it's cool that way.

I'll agree on this to an extent, but i still believe, that untill proven wrong, blood seeker and spirit breaker have no place in competitive games.

Bloodseekers problem is that BKB is really strong against him and he himself can't use his buff when BKB'd. His spells are decent, thou not exactly great for competitive play. Long silence is great and rupture can really hurt supports relying on good positioning. Both him and Bara have no Aoe and what they give to the team isn't good enough to pick them over better lategame heroes. However, since they are so good against single hereos, they completely wreck pubs where people suck at positioning .

Their pro guides are still fine. Even heroes which changed since the guides were only changed a little for most the part. They don't have every hero done, but its not like LoL where a guide is out of date in 2 days
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Exactly, blood seekers only scaling is fucked up by him getting a BKB, which most heroes will need, especially melee heroes like himself.
And his silence is good, but the problem is that if for example, you're against a morphling and you want to stop him from getting away, you can't really use BS silence because, odds are he'll just turn around and melt your face since you just buffed his base damage, massively.
Silencing is great, but giving a huge damage buff isn't.

I just feel he needs a rework to work competitively, i don't believe it's about buffing the numbers, same goes for bara.
I don't personally know about huskar, i don't see him as a very good hero competitively, but his low BAT and such makes me wonder if he could have a spot in certain strategies, but i doubt it.

I wonder if bloodseekers buff going through BKB on friendlies would make him much better, and on the bufing enemy carries part, you only do this when you are sure you can kill him fast enough and it's really deadly in early game when even 80% buffs are not that big of an issue when you gank a morph/am as 3

TBH Ghost Scepter fucks up Bloodseeker more than BKB does. Or at least, does so at a practical cost that supports can afford as well.

And then you're Bloodseeker without Rupture or Silence, and you spent all your spells on a support that you can't actually go and kill because of Ghost Scepter.

It's not practical for supports to buy BKB, and it's a hell of a lot better to have Ghost Scepter than nothing at all.
