Though I think VG probably should have lost to TNC, though VG's high ground defense approach is still potent. | ||

though the casters completely ignored it, they were constantly getting slightly more than vp shouldve given them. they shouldve been down 5k more going into the first hg push given the lineups | ||

Lots of practice, I assume? | ||

If that's not enough to win vs a brood then VP might as well just firstpick brood and nothing would have changed. It's not getting an awful lot better and Eleven losing the lane is just not something that should happen. Bat loses to brood on the landing stage Brood just runs away when he fireflies and broodlings eat bat alive without firefly .. Oil stacks do nothing to the brooflings Dunno what games you play where bat wins against brood without help lol | ||

It's not getting an awful lot better and Eleven losing the lane is just not something that should happen. The Batrider vs Brood match is deceptively hard for Bat. The primary issue is that depending on the enemy 4 (and even with AA, you can get turned on with a support TP) you can't go max Napalm to harass Brood and maintain lane equilibrium. Meanwhile Brood can force out Firefly without any repercussion, which means you're done in the lane until it's off CD and he can push into the tower.

At the very least you kill the broodlings No, because Brood can dodge the projectile at range and you can't set up kill conditions without leveled-up Napalm stacks. He'll just heal up with the webs and dive back in. Additionally, you're crippling yourself when the laning stage ends. | ||

So we're not talking about some long range flamebreak but situations where the spiderlings are literally next to you and attacking you right now. You turn on firefly, you flamebreak and you get money. The alternative, not leveling it at all is what happened in this game (and swindlez also criticized during the game): you pop firefly, broodlings just run away, you can't follow quickly enough and then you're without firefly for the next couple seconds and just die (or get pushed out of the lane). | ||

Pro players won't fall for that and you're also upgrading flamebreak lol(nobody wants to upgrade that skill till later) Even if that happens somehow you still take shit ton of damage as bat of brood suicides the broodlings and after that you are in a downtime doing nothing cause brood can just run into you Have you seen fata bat vs matu brood ? It has nothing to do with matu being the better laner but just a really hard lane for fata If you want a hero that doesn't get wrecked by brood landing stage then timber. Batrider is a deadlane | ||

I mean while not a statement on the 1v1 or how the lanes would go, Brood is literally the worst hero in the game vs Bat according to dotabuff. Which again, isn't a statement on the 1v1 situation but rather on the situation of the game overall (as well as generally random pubs) but come on. | ||

What are you going to do when the brood player split up the broodlings into 2 groups so that they don't eat flamebreak all at once? Brood doesn't need many broodlings, he just need enough broodlings to tank tower hits so he can dive and chase you out of the lane. | ||

Flamebreak is a shit skill unless you upgrade it which would mean you don't upgrade firefly and oil(you're the worst batrider in the game that time if you die) lol. I don't think flamebreak even kills the broodlings cause most nukes don't actually kill broodlings who deal more damage than flamebreak And that assumption is even assuming that bat is invincible and won't die to massive damage that brood can deal which is why he wins most midlane matchup | ||

So we're not talking about some long range flamebreak but situations where the spiderlings are literally next to you and attacking you right now. You turn on firefly, you flamebreak and you get money. Spiderlings have 250 health and 50% magic resistance. They also gain regen from webs. The only way Bat can guarantee kills on Spiderlings is if he goes for something like 1/2/2. This is decent against the summons and horrible against Brood. It's also complete trash when he goes to rotate, so no Bat player worth his salt is going to sacrifice his jungle farm and gank potential for the chance to kill Spiderlings.
