Well, the old evaluation for scaling cores assumed 4 protect 1. The ability to win 1v5 isn't really that important anymore.

failing to see direct relevance of your statement

im just assuming the gamestate is the hero in question is around 25-30k networth at 50 minutes, the enemy carry hero is around there, and then the teams are about equal otehrwise too

obv exceptions for heroes that naturally rice faster like alch tb naga am sven etc, they'll hit those networth values at 40 minutes or faster in a good game and win...?

idk its weird to talk about the lategames of those heroes alone cuz whether or not theyve farmed well and had a decent game relates to whether or not its still even a game at 50 minutes

I'd probably give him a B, he's always more underwhelming than I think he'd be come lategame. In games where you're able to split push effectively, I guess an A. Idk, on paper he seems a lot better than how games turn out with him.

Opps, I'm like did I not rate Naix yet, because I didn't see him there, so I wrote it, sorry.

he's terrible at 50 minutes, like 80% of team comps just start killing the bear too fast at that stage

Any chance this is just an aghs farming alch? SD, Nyx, PotM and weaver aghs are all incredible. It would be super risky and gimmicky in an elim game, but possible it could work.

Lone druid is an awful late game carry. It's a terrible argument that just because you have a 12 slotted hero means it'll ever be good.

Even in a dream scenario where you actually get 12 items, you're still not doing impressive damage on either sylla or his bear. Bear doesn't have stat growth or survivability and Sylla even slotted with the most expensive items doesn't do enough damage.
