Dat 3% slow.

*edit* I noticed in a game a couple days ago that a dueling LC will still attack if in Cold Embrace. Seems like a neat little bit of synergy to help LC initiate without it being such a death sentence.

I missed that, but it makes total sense because in DotA 2, Duel overrides all attack-disabling effects.

So LC+WW works in DotA 2, but for completely different reasons than in DotA 1, lmao.

oh you can't just make a comment like that and then not explain the mechanics for why it works in dota 1 :p

hey yango, why does LC+WW work in Dota 1?

Press the Attack is a triggered buff removal, so it removes Cold Embrace's stun without removing the regen/physical immunity.

Actually wait, DotA 2's Duel/Cold Embrace interaction doesn't make any sense then because it's a stun and not an attack-disabling effect, lol.

Well, according to the wiki notes:
Stuns the target and turns it immune to physical damage. Does not block other damage types or spell effects.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

That's...weird. Pretty sure I saw it in-game. Maybe it's just the LC passive procs that still go off and I mistook those for autoattacks?

Now I wanna go test it myself...

*edit* Tested, does not work. Either I fooled myself with Moment of Courage procs or it was bugged a couple days ago.

Sorry to get your hopes up :\ .

this hero is so good in the current meta vs troll/axe/jugg.
or face rush in general. on the same par if not way better than abaddon/treant as a defensive support.

they rush in, ice refrigerator. gg aggression.

Hey guys, time to talk about the new top tier support!

This hero is really fun to play and can turn fights with embrace and curse

What would you max first between Q and W? I usually go for W first because the damage scales well, but the reduced cd and the increased range on the burn is really good...

Glimmer cape is core on this hero, like all sup heroes imo

Arctic Burn does full damage at level 1, so it's better to max Splinter Blast first.
I like to max W>E>Q, although W>Q>E might be better in terms of raw damage.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

splinter blast max for definite, but i think Q>E after. the value point in embrace is strong enough

Sometimes if the game isn't going so well and my team is getting bursted too fast, I will go for extra points in E. Any little bit of healing counts at that point!

In most cases you should leave heal at rank 1 until the other 2 skills are maxed.

And I would say wyvern is quite balanced. Good pick against any heroes, but by no means an auto win hero.

If you wanna nerf the hero, I'd say make embrace purgeable. Numbers are fine imo.

Glimmer cape is actually super OP on this hero, you can pretty much make your target invulnerable unless the enemy has a timber or QoP (the big pure damage dealers)

It depends slightly on the lane, but usually I go 1:0:0:0 into 2:0:1:0 and then decide on when we are going to start teamfighting. I've seen pros who play the hero very well (fng f.e.) skip splinter blast entirely until they maxed q, going for 4:0:2:1 at lvl 7 if i remember right.

I think the decision should be based on how big you think your skirmishes are going to be. Arctic burn is a very good skill in the laning phase and in early skirmishes with small numbers (against two or three enemies) and splinter blast is a very good skill in fights with lots of heroes.

A thing to keep in mind is that Splinter blast is terrible against very mobile heroes as well, it is however very good against melee heroes and works nicely with winter's curse.

^not considered there is pushing/defending pushes

if you think the enemy will 5 man towers splinter blast definitely the way to go. as well as it being better spell if you want to push as well.

I personally find splinter blast build the much safer build, as if you do get behind the d-push and big teamfight damage are good for coming back. and around level 3 when you need to decide whether to go splinter blast build you don't know whether you will be behind or not several minutes later when finally maxing first skill.

games where i've maxed q and team has got behind i've felt pretty useless

I think ww has been the best support for quite a while and icefrog will probably destroy it next patch. I think its the range of her skills that makes her so powerful

I'm kinda surprised that with how much play WW got at TI5 there have been no posts at all about her

Tbh I think the hero's too good, she's currently balanced by the fact that the meta's bad for her. WW is bad early and shines late and the meta is all about early aggression. While she's ok as an early defensive support and laner, she's pretty bad for ganking. The thing that separates her before lvl 6 is her tool vs physical damage in a meta full of magic damage burst heroes (lesh, qop, lina, early gyro).

She would be extremely powerful in a meta like 6.83 f.e..
