That Ursa pick just dismantled VP strategy

you mean

naix slardar weaver DK dismantled VP

xD


Lifestealer, slardar and DK wasn't bad at all. The problem is that they didn't need a weaver to bolster their lanes. Even Skywrath mage roaming around would be more disruptive than this. They needed a support with a lot of control as a replacement for Disruptor. Weaver needs Aghs to fulfill that role.

obviously slardar, LS and DK alone is not bad

but in the end it's not a 3 man game it's a 5 man game they picked 4 heroes that need farm + a really weak support like you are asking to get run over unless you and the enemy team made a pact to do nothing but farm in the first 30 minutes lol

a decent support duo would've made that work



I feel like we said the same thing. Weaver requiring Aghs is too much farm. Even though they didn't know they would face an Ursa yet they should've put him as a core and picked a less greedy support.

Their draft isn't even that greedy. They often pick a self sufficient core in Ramzes who doesn't need support. They just got raped hard by mid ursa.

TBF they've been running these types of lineups for weeks and they basically were destroying everyone while doing it.

wait really ? like this garbage draft not just the standard 4 greedy heroes ?

They have been doing this exact draft and basically nothing but this exact draft. They haven't really lost any matches since like TI.
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

yes. Look at their Summit drafts(or the Major Quals). They pick tanky cores that can fight, put pasha on an initiator (or Lil on Slardar) and then Lil on a 3.5 role.

That's probably why they gg'ed out so fast; they realized there was no point and they got outdrafted like hell.

problem was tree stifling aggression, getting a shitton of vision and the ursa/wisp lane destroying noone mid. The draft itself if looked at without regard to what EG drafted was a standard VP draft that had every chance of working out

Yeah, a position 4 core support is fine when you have cores that pick so early. It gives then plenty of pushing, but also gives you ability to compete lategame against crazy late game heroes like Morphling.

FWIW I think VP have been relying on the fact that their cores are phenomenally skilled and don't really lose their lanes. (Ramzes/Noone are probably the best cores in CIS right now) The issue is that EG matches them in individual mechanics (look at how OG just got completely destroyed in lanes against VP)

Yeah, the VP draft is really legit.

Shouldn't be judging it based on one game, their staple was the 3.5 weaver and this early run at you stuff.

huh that's interesting

so it just happens that 3rd pick weaver was predictable enough (knowing they'd pick that hero for support ) that eg immediately did a treant and picked shit that won't die to underleveled + underfarmed weaver rotations

but i still maintain my opinion that their draft is garbage and bound to be figured out

First-phase Sniper DOHOHO.

I don't like first pick Ogre though. He's nothing but a walking steroid past 15 minutes.
