If you get a 20 kill lead at 25 minutes (don't remember the exact timestamp) and still barely walk away with a victory, you were outdrafted. They needed to get constant kills (which involves constant risk-taking), got constant kills and almost lost anyway. One mistake early on and liquid would have ran away with the game.


yeah, Secret played amazing, outplayed Liquid really hard and still never were ahead for the first 20 minutes or so despite being 20kills ahead.
If they play even just a tiny bit less amazing it's over really quick. They clawed out that victory when really they shouldn't have been able to. Not whining about Kunkka or anything. Secret just played flat out amazing to pull that out.

can't be disappointed with his kills on weaver. those were crucial but should not have happened from ace's view.

as for kunkka
[image loading]
let's see the WR go up in that case, you think it is so ridiculous to the point that it's stupid strong?
personally think it's a very limited hero IMO, the previous game showing that spectacularly in my eyes.
when are u ever going to get to play with 3 other disablers? or always safely farm lanes all the way up until 50m?

Guess what, you need to be a at a Secret level to pull this through.

Compare this to Gyro (LD takes some skill).

No, you don't need to be Secret level for an overfarmed hero to one-shot whole enemy team, stop saying dumb stuff. Mechanic is awful, Blademail is not good counter at all, it works when you see Kunkka, not when he cleaves you from one screen away from invis or with blink.

but the problem wasn't him cleaving people to death from invis or from a screen away. The problem was him cleaving stuff in big teamfights that had him well in range, almost dying and suddenly turning it around with one big crit that oneshots miracle, Matumba or whoever else.

It's pretty damn good for him that nyx never managed to return the damage even once in the game. Even that happens with the rapier, he oneshots himself just once the game is also over right there.

Except that he might just take down 3 heroes with him, so what the fuck is point of Blademails anyway? If he kills himself and he is Kunkka with 3500 HP, he will surely kill everything else as well.

Nevermind what a game secret had to play to get Kunkka to that point, you sound nothing but bitter.

I don't mind Secret winning at all, nor the way they did it cause you do everything you can that is allowed to win competitive game, but cleaves ignoring armor was there from the beginning of Dota (since it is actually WC3 mechanic) and it is still one of the dumbest mechanics. It will take PA with 3 divines longer to take something down that has 50 armor than Kunkka cause he will one-shot it by hitting something else. It is very stupid.

That doesn't always mean they're outdrafted. It's not like liquid was winning fights despite having incredible disadvantage cause they should be if they did outdraft them

I'm not saying core kunkka is OP, though some others are. I just have trouble with the reasoning.

he is basically saying it is so strong, it wins games with its stupid mechanic.
pro games trickle down to pubs and get people practicing said heroes, and with said heroes on their team. it's not a stretch to say veno, necro, slark, spectre, AM, ember's WR's all went up during their respective height of popularity.

moving on TL has a TINKER vs AW, LMAO

nah, an outdraft doesn't mean you have to win the fights.

A splitpush game that you can't deal with can be an outdraft even if you lose every single teamfight and still win in the end.
If you have to stomp 30-10 in kills to be EVEN it's almost always an outdraft.
