OD is one of the best midder in the game it is normal to be in trouble agaist him. Then viper is a strong harrass hero but od with prison easy win. Vs od you have to use his lack of ganking and rune control, so gank other lane with good rune and call support to gank mid and if opponents supports don't react you win the lane | ||

Brew's so strong, because: a) Clap = big AoE damage + slow b) Haze = semi-Tinker's Laser (and does not disjointed with manta or stuff) c) Passive = massive evasion+crit-hit boost d) Ult = now there are 3 of you, triple the trouble! And with aghanim, earth got clap. Clap clap. How do you counter this hero? Well pretty easy to sum up this problem is: lock him down before he uses his ultimate. Brewmaster, despite the strong abilities he has, is not an easy-to-escape hero without his dagger on. You may form a lineup full of stunners, get a Silencer, make someone buy an Orchid, Hex, or anything, and you're good to go. To counter him with a carry hero: strong right-click heroes will simply win, even with his ult on. N`aix, Faceless Void, Slardar, Sven, or anyone can easily go toe-to-toe with Brew as long as he didn't use his Haze on you. | ||

Kill him at lvl 6 by using your ult after he emprisonned you | ||

He also didn't actually attack me, just kept prisoning me whenever I was about to get a last hit... | ||

@Erasme 1-1-3 seems notably suspect vs a hero that does 0 magic damage pre ult and by and large loses harass wars due to your orb anyway. | ||

1) How do I know when to level up which orb and what orbs (assuming I'm not trying to invoke something at the time) should I have up most of the time? The guides I've read don't seem to explain why we're leveling up certain orbs; probably because they assume I know 2) What spells should I be running early game the majority of the time? I'm guessing forge spirits, but but I don't know what other spell to invoke. 3) You see a lot of invokers in solo q go fast midas. Is this advisable for an inexperienced invoker? What should I be aiming for as a core? I see everything from Midas>Eul, Midas>Sheepstick straight Aghs rush, and even a radiance rush or two. I'm just not sure what I should be going for (obviously it will be somewhat situational to the game, but a general idea would be great). EDIT: Forgot to add this in; most mids I play have a quck wave push so I can go for rune.What should invoker do in the stead of having a spell like DK's breath fire or tinkers march that quickly pushes up the wave? What am I doing with my time? On DK I"m looking to push and get some fast towers, on heroes like ns, qop, etc I'm looking to set up ganks; but I'm not sure what to be doing with invoker. | ||

Does Witch Doctor see competitive play? I'm not really familiar with the pro scene. I just know that on my 2nd try with him (ever) I went 17 - 0 - 16 yesterday. Is he really THAT easy?? LOL EDIT - I literally just went straight Arcanes => Ag's => Refresher and used only Q and R. | ||
