This was actually discussed in the commentary for G-League.

N3komata said that after a lot of deliberating and playing the matchup, the consensus among Chinese players is that at mid level, where both players make a lot of mistakes, Puck has the advantage. But at high level, if the number of mistakes are very few, QoP has the advantage.

Have trouble against sf as puck. Unless you do really well early, your defensive abilities don't help him eventually massing up souls, then you just lose.

What? No, that's wrong.

You have solo-killing and gank-assist ability against SF at all levels. Only if you get lax and let him get souls he shouldn't does he catch back up. Otherwise if you control the lane well and abuse your solo kill threat, you can crush SF out of the game.

SF just punishes you if you stop playing the lane extremely tight, but that's true of SF vs anyone.

How's that different from bat vs sf (solo kill, gank assist potential)? Puck quasi-commits when he orbs.

Because Bat doesn't have harass to trade with (abysmal autoattack range, no ranged damage skills unless you level Flamebreak super early), so unless Bat can go all-in and kill, he can't punish SF going for lasthits. Which means he can't actually go on SF for a kill unless SF overextends ridiculously or you get a rune because you can't harass down SF's HP easily. Puck's ranged harass ability far exceed's Bat's with Orb and a much longer autoattack range (Bat 375, SF 500, Puck 550) so he's much more capable of punishing attempts to lasthit early game.

I mean the classic counter to Puck mid is night stalker (Puck does not like those instant silences) but that's if we're talking about things besides the laning phase itself (Night stalker should pretty much never straight up beat puck middle). Blood Seeker is a decent counter in lane and onwards but then you're left with basically a melee creep who can cast silence as one of your heroes. Rubick has been used to decent effect as well (instant cast stuns/nukes bother Puck).

On QoP vs Puck I would really assume it comes down to ping and rune luck (though I think it is easier to gank QoP after level 2).

Don't really think that's the line of thinking you should be using. More what can you do to deal with a mid puck. Most puck matchups are skill based where either party can win. Stuff like last hitting better and not taking unnecessary harass is key. A common hero used against her is qop since she can roam and have ability to win lane based on players.


qop vs puck is not fair at all for the qop. how the fuck are you suppose to win if the puck isnt mentally retarded.


You have better attack animation and mobility. It's more about who makes the least mistakes than anything else.

Also, Clockwerk vs Puck and Windrunner vs. Puck have been cited as favorable matchups for Clockwerk and Windrunner before.

So. A friend and I have run Tiny/Wisp combo quite regulary to great succes. But I got to think of something:
How do you guys feel about getting both tranquil and mana boots on wisp, so that he basicly is a walking fountian? manaboots on wisp are HUGE for tiny. instant full mana all the time, but the same could be said about tranquil. full hp basicly all the time.

Or you could run manaboots and urn. Assuming the combo is working, you WILL get charges. Or just run a bottle. Or run manaboots on tiny. There's a lot of options other than dual-booting your wisp which is not only expensive but past a certain point becomes quite redundant.

I guess it could work if you keep RoR+RoP in inv and have arcane so you can disassemble arcane and pick up tranq etc. Then later convert to a vlad+arcane. Actually having 2 sets of boots though sounds silly

Based on pure theorycraft, shouldn't nyx be able to well against puck? Get a pms and then nyx's skills should counter puck pretty hard, i.e you use carapace when he orbs you and manaburn him every now and then. Or does melee vs ranged and probably superior runecontrol by puck outweigh this? You can still choose to bottlecrow if necessary.

Versus puck, if you scare him into shifting prematurely, you can win pretty handily. The only problem is that the puck has to be good enough to be able to dodge skills normally. I find tinker vs puck to be extremely easy if I just cancel the animation of laser to force a shift, same with qop's q, nyx's and lion's stuns, etc

Any tips for last hitting with weaver? He has the worst attack animation of the whole game, seriously, you have to right click when the creep is at half life to have a chance to get the last hit otherwise he's dead, the attack is wasted on a dead creep & good luck getting the next last hit. The heroe is really fun & brings a lot on the table with good farm or just levels but this attack animation, even zeus wd, cm or any heroe with crap animation are way better than weaver to last hit.

Just practice, no fancy tricks. To me he has a really good attack animation, not sure why you're having difficulty.
