When your ancient dies, you ALWAYS lose the game. Right?

Traitor mode-- is that like randoming Mirana/Meepo/Medusa/Axe/Bloodseeker/Nightstalker and not repicking?

traitor mode is when one guy on each team tries his hardest to lose the game for his team. Can't courier feed (I think) and after three deaths he has to sit at the fountain.

...

not sure why you would lump NS/Mirana with all those other heroes.

Axe gets useless really fast as his abilities starts to dwindle. He can be ok in a midgame dominant type of setup, but people in pubs use him as a carry.

Medusa is the exact opposite. She's best at the 50 min mark or so. People in pubs generally doesn't have the skills, coordination and teamwork required to pull her off.

So when you see someone pick medusa or axe, you know you're in for a shitty game.

In the progaming scene, they do have certain attributes that makes them viable in very specific scenarios. But in general, they do nothing that other heroes of the same type doesn't do way better imo.

Axe is extremely matchup dependent. He's a great counterpick to many heroes.

Lately, the pick Axe blindly and go jungle guys seem to have disappeared from pubs for good, most likely they kept losing.

What would be good guidelines for picking and laning Furion? He seems so item dependent the further you go, it seems like it's good to participate in ganks in the early game and then get Lothars and split push to death.

thats pretty much what he does. gank and split push. how you build his items is a huge factor in how he is played though. for ganking oriented furion, you opt for orchid/hex for the single target disable. however, for hardcore split pushing/carry, you might opt for other items such as maelstrom. i personally prefer the maelstrom build because pub players are terrible at defending split pushes, and the farm you get from it is enormous, allowing you to outcarry their hard carry in most cases.

They're all good pub heroes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with new Medusa, but there's no context to really judge her in because she's not popular in pubs and isn't in -CM yet.

Pubwise? all heroes mentioned are good enough. I think you mean a that guy playing IO, Elder titan and does not know what he is doing

Or back in Dota 1 techies.
