Pretty sure thats lina


Storms been good too.


Well yeah storm has been picked a lot. But lina is the most picked (26 games) and has 65% winrate


Winrate stats like that don't mean that much. It really depends on what teams have had the opportunity to pick it up, how the execute, and how it works into their strategy.

(Obviously in the long run if its significantly different than the rest of the heroes it might mean something, but I still think its depends more on the team that picks it)

I think the whole "Azarkon vs China" thing started when everyone at the west got traumatized by EHOME stomping through ESWC 2010. That's what started the divide between the Chinese Dota fanboys and those who hated them/thought it was a fluke.


Say, what actually did happen and how azarkon became azarkon that he is today?



ESWC 2010 was when EHOME showed up and Western teams were talking mad shit about how they were going to smash the Chinese teams with Slardar/mass blink strats.


Then EHOME showed up and rolled them with things like 7 minute daggers on Lion (MMY or X! at the time basically rolled over every mid player with his eyes closed),defensive farming tri-lanes (which no one had ever executed at that level; there were tri-lanes but they were aggressive all-in push lanes), and overall just superior mechanical/strategic play that whole tournament. EHOME was like literally universes apart from the EU/NA scene at the time. Essentially, you had pros playing against a bunch of amateurs. It was quite funny how bad the stomping was actually, only TEG managed to put up a good fight.

And somehow that alone caused 5 years of salt?


No. He has no idea what he's talking about. I was a fan of Ehome 2010. Those who actually remember me back then will know that.

I'm not going to explain because it's too long and I want to watch the game.


Please do explain what happen after game 1.


The funny thing is azarkon isn't lying about being a fan


He is lying about the whole East vs West debate, he was clearly on the side of the West.

anyone else think dazzle is such an overrated support?

if the carry can actually do something during the 5 seconds of grave, you probably dont need grave at that point and just require glimmer capes and guardian greaves, which other supports can buy (and probably easier too, since they probably have better farming abilities)

also dazzle has his poison touch completely ignored, meaning dazzle is basically a 3 skill hero that doesnt provide as much as say, a gyro does



His weave is a game fight winning skill if properly placed. And Grave means that other teams can't pick burst centric line-ups.

but my point is, grave can be replaced with solar crest and glimmer cape, meaning dazzle can be replaced with other supports with better utility, maybe even cm

magnus and invoker


Ye, Invoker is always fun to watch. Also what happened to Death Prophet?


you cant pick a mid who can do things only with ulti up , and towers dont worth the same so its less profitable to push early like it was before.


I'd actually disagree. I feel like DP could be a niche pick (similar to VG vs EHOME game 1) Pugna. If teams bring out the hero against the correct lineup, DP could still be a really strong pick.

i think it's also because of how DP's ult works

it's slow chip damage over time, not an instagib burst

DP certainly could be a niche pick. You would need a lineup that can stack like crazy and repel attempts to go on her. Maybe with a Naga support, and I don't know what else.

She's terrible in this meta because Leshrac does what she does a lot better but thing is, Leshrac can't be played.

Still, she's in a real bad place as a hero.

Thing is Euls is a one-item counter to Shallow Grave and is 100% core on Lina. If she's not setting up a kill with it she can finish one.
