Bane is decent in theory but he's one of the hardest supports to play effectively and if you start telling your random pub teammates to pick him vs troll you're gonna have a bad time

Go-to support vs troll is wyvern imo

Enfeeble isn't specifically good vs. Troll. It's good vs. single-core lineups that rely on one damage point. But because of Battle Trance, its super easy for an early pick Troll to transition into a dual- or tri-core that Bane can't control.


sure, but wouldn't you agree that bane also has other upsides? even if he can't control a tri core with troll, what other support can right now? should clarify that i'm trying to say that you can't expect 1 support to deal with everything the other team has. unless you're earth spirit.

Clearly I need to put in some time with Earth Spirit and wyvern for MMR reasons. Plus ES fails are so hilarious.

You shut up about earthsaker, he is a totally balanced hero that just needs one item to be amazing. He does not need to be touched by the Frog.

I mean, aside from like the year and a half where everyone forgot about him because DotA 2 Fissure bugs, Earthshaker has been a busted since the dawn of time. And Icefrog clearly seems to be ok with that.

Clearly the only response is to buff the shit out of Tusk so we can have two flavor of path blocking heroes to choose from.

the problem with earth shaker is that whenever he's on the other team, my team stacks up for echo slam and he lands perfect fissure blocks.

when he's on my team, he levels enchant totem first, then proceeds to relentlessly feed with missed fissures left and right.

volvo, pls

good/lucky games with tusk are some of the most fun you can have in dota
you get a good period of time where you can one shot people out of shadowblade

always fun to send a unsuspecting storm spirit or qop back to the fountain
