No, the bigger issue that game was actually the amount of the map PPD's team actually saw, due to the night pick. That last fight was completely decided by that. LGD saw them, they didn't see LGD, instant jump into everyone dead.

No it is a fear hero

it's just that they let it get too late, it's hard to beat TA+morphling

He went full support enigma which is not that good when the other team lacks of ways to disable his BH. Focusing a bit more on his ulti could have helped imo.

That game took a very long time for how much LGD won their lanes.


EG played inside their base for the last 20 min or so , but Zeus is no match for a TA as a core , TA bursts better & farms better and a BKB hero which destroys Zeus life , really nice draft from LGD and good execute , EG had their moments but they needed to execute to prefection to win this game which is hard to do with no vision vs that NS.

Morphling didn't do shit in that last fight. What are people even talking about. That was one big hit into two dead no buy back, both very important heroes.

there's a lot of time where the heroes aren't fighting. morph dictated map control and pigeonholed EG's movements.

The map vision is only relevant with the threat (morph) that can kill any hero. If not for that the nghtstalker's vision denial doesn't matter

i don;t understand what you are talking about

low cooldown stun from morphling, NS, wd is definetely not "lack of ways to disable his BH"

TA is solely the only one who didn't have something to cancel BH

Do you have problems with typing EG or something? It's always "the Americans" or "PPD's team".

LGD played really poorly. Like realllly poorly. I don't think people realize how badly they positioned in every teamfight that ET "won" it.


You think LGD even knows what they did/are doing wrong? They've been playing this way for a long time.

Man it's hard to predict that type of smoke into ravage play with night stalker vision. Very well played for LGD!

Not to my knowledge and I do think he is underwhelming despite being picked a lot.

4-8
vega, secret, lgd have won with him. lgd games were against weak teams and vegas win was an extraordinary throw

hmm i'm not conviced that he solely needed to go "focus more on his ulti" why he's a bad enigma player unless this is his only enigma then he's bad but it's not all the other games where ok

also a bkb-dagger rushing enigma is pretty bad .. you are making yourself ult reliant cannot go out alone and if you can't hit the ult if lgd plays smart then it's just a waste

you are assuming that lgd will just clump all the time conveniently for you to blackhole if that's how you think that would work if he went dagger-bkb rush

morphling kills without risk or sacrifice to his positioning/map presence. Any other less mobile hero would have been caught by EG half a dozen times

But that's not what decided the game. The fight that decided the game was the fight at bottom where they had to buy back three heroes, and the final fight. Both of those fights were not won because morphling killed a hero on another side of the map.

Regardless, I'm not saying you're wrong about the pick working well with morphling. Indeed, I'd say that it works very well in that it forces teams to stick together during night, which prevents them from getting a lot of farm against teams that split.
