Yeah most nukes don't kill spiderlings and that's assuming you start at level 5 so that you can kill them immediately. Which you don't start at level 5

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

Flamebreak has 25dps lv1 (Firefly has 10dps lv1 btw), and it upgrades to 30dps on lv2.... I don't think that's a skill I'd call "a shit skill unless you upgrade it". It's literally the opposite and a lv1 value-point...

It's doable we have visage and uberlord to draw attention then miracle void to do stuff but it's certainly harder to execute and alot less flexible than TNC's straightforward draft.

TNC lineup probably scales better

Go play bat max flamebreak then and see if you can be effective in teamfights or in the early game in general lol

Have you not realized why nobody maxes that shit cause you know it's shit. That still makes him unable to kill broodlings or brood himself even with broodlings natural hp and magic resistance.

FV carry feels more like a chinese hero. Liquid usually plays fast tempo and also good wave clear heroes that can get map control.

I literally said the opposite goody... you're not even reading what I'm posting. I said you don't need to max flamebreak, it's a valuepoint you keep on lv1. And you're telling me to try max flamebreak despite noone ever arguing to try that

It's still a good 1 position hero for miracle since it can farm, splitpush, contribute in fights. It's a pretty well-rounded hero that can do alot of stuff.

Now that i think about it i'm not sure which lineup has an easier way in fights since liquid just needs to stand and tank shit while void cleans up with counterinitiation

Valuepoint flamebreak doesn't still do shit against broodlings which was your point on how bat beats brood on lane, right ? It just doesn't deal enough damage like every other higher damage nuke before level 4

Also there's no reason to pickup flamebreak cause upgrading other skills other is just better for bat in general.

That so called value point is going to set bat back even more when he is chased out of lane. Bat skill points are pretty flexible but realistically bat players are only going to add an early point into flamebreak only when they know it is going to let them net a kill.

TnC has better engage and disengage but Liquid has an easier time guaranteeing kills with Ice Blast and the consistent damage from Familiars + Firestorm.

I don't know if visage is going to be relevant late game. Tiny avalanche has multiple damage hits to wear off most of gravekeeper clock.

Chrono + firestorm + iceblast kills everything though.

Yeah i think they also have an easier time when TNC is the one going at them. They have decent counterinitiation and relatively tanky/dodgy heroes apart from AA(which is never the ideal hero to catch)
