Ya their supports were massively underleveled and couldn't fight at all, so iG just get steamrolled because LD and Tinker aren't ready to anything yet either. I guess they thought Ravage would help them hold off for long enough?


They almost had a couple kills with it; if those work then they aren't completely dead in the water.

These games are happening quite a lot among better teams, one of the team has draft advantage, gets momentum and just snowballs out of control.

honestly, before today, i didn't think ig was nearly as bad as na'vi, but seeing this draft happen made me consider otherwise

Na`Vi isn't bad either, you are a fool if you are judging one team because of one game. IG lost one game to Mouz at ESL, score was 30-4 for Mouz or something, but they had won the whole thing after all...

It just happens that teams have bad games, miscommunication happens, outpick happens, oversight happens etc.

there's outpicks and then there's drafts where i think "this draft is bad against most decent drafts this patch," this game's draft was the latter and makes me think ig doesn't udnerstand the game as well as i thought they did

ChuaN has played a really sick Mirana, so it's pretty hard to question that tbh


When it works it is great, but when it doesn't you end up with this game. Newbee were prepared and warded the map to deal with it.


You can apply that logic to every hero. Please.

You don't know what is shut down spectre if you think this one was.

Well Tinker was winning his lane and I know Specter needs a lot of farm which he wasn't getting, I guess they made up for it with all those kills and towers.

best case scenario, they drag it out to late midgame where tinker starts dying to spec again and ld's bear starts dying, then they lose in the lategame

I've just very rarely see a game where a draft with Specter wins, and if they do it seems like this ridiculous hero that needs 30 mins of uninterrupted farming to finally join fights and do anything. Never seen such a short game with Specter, pretty cool I have to say, other teams must be playing it wrong lol.

laser/desolate has a weird interaction. Desolate still hits even if spectre doesnt

Not weird, Desolate hits before Spectre's attack hits, she will always do Desolate even if her attack is missing.

Some clarification on this:

In DotA 1, Desolate is triggered to apply damage the moment the attack STARTS (several other triggered on-attack abilities also do this, notably Riki's Backstab and SB's Greater Bash). Because of this, what spiritofthetuna described where you start your autoattack and then immediately cancel it actually does have some limited applications, particularly for chasing people before your attack speed is high enough to necessarily finish the complete autoattack (particularly when trying to hit people trying to juke you in trees). It's slightly more useful for Backstab and Greater Bash because Backstab's damage scales, and Greater Bash has the secondary Bash effect

However, this is NOT possible in DotA 2. In DotA 2, all three of these skills apply damage when the attack LANDS. As such, canceling your autoattack to get Desolate/Backstab/Greater Bash damage and not your full autoattack is no longer possible--you have to complete your autoattack to get the secondary effect in DotA 2. Desolate still maintains the property that it still does damage on missed attacks, but Backstab and Greater Bash don't.

The dagger levels seemed really smart in hindsight maybe?

With Lich giving extra XP Spectre has levels so the 200 dmg of dagger comes online pretty quickly and at a point where fights are still blowing up heroes so it's probably more dmg than desolate.

spectre actually has a decent pub winrate and she's not really that useless once she gets her ult up, i think you think of her as harder (i.e. weaker early and midgame) of a carry than she is. as for your last comment, there are sometimes games where a team with a carry wins the earlygame so hard that it becomes nearly impossible to win for the enemy team, these include naga spec morph and am (except for mouz lolo), and usually when they win earlygame its because the other 4 players on your team outplayed the enemy team, not because of the hero itself

The drums/diff build definitely changed spectre a lot.

That is the most false statement if I ever saw one, especially as the guy who plays Spectre a lot and tried out a ton of builds with her.

Don't pick supports that have zero recovery and accomplish absolutely nothing in the early game. Is that better worded for you?

That's basically it, in this game it seemed very flexible and good in early game. Sort of reminded me of some old [A] games where Loda's Gyro or whatever was getting very little farm and they made up for it by winning some team fights in the early/mid game.

Chinese teams have run support mirana for months now. I think the bottom line to all those attempts is that she's extremely risky without proper setup. The setup doesn't need to be a bane/sd, in fact with roaming mirana it seems to be more effective to have a mid with setup (Kunkka, OD, DK, etc.), but you do need something. The hail mary 'let's hope they can't dodge arrows' support mirana fails more often than it works.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
