I think he's more likely to be a mid than an offlane, personally.

A bit of a rant, but when I first made the guides, I put him as "Middle" and you guys crucified me for it.

1. For needlessly creating two guides "and confusing players"
and 2. because he is not a middle hero and covering my bases is the reason I'm burnt out from creating guides.

Now you're suggesting two guides and one of them be mid?

A little unfuckingbelievable. I'm a bit salty because maybe it's 3AM, but it does anger me a bit because I said this a whole goddamn year ago.

I can't find what you're talking about so idk. If I said anything I assume it was along the lines of "well yeah but you still don't have support mirana so...." and that's not particularly different to my position now.

We know it's not a bad idea to start with multiple guides for a new hero. That gives you the most chance of picking up the first wave of subscribers when nobody knows how to build him, and that's a good strategy even if it's likely one will become redundant. I would still prefer it if you were willing to delete one after it becomes clear how he's played.

Regardless, for the same reason, you want those first two guides to cover as many situations as possible so that everyone will consider them. Hence, core and support, not offlane and support nor offlane and core.

Even if you think he's not a very good support, the first day will feature eleven million players asking their teammates "what does this guy do?" and a good number of them will be told "support" and go looking for a support guide. Imo you don't want to miss those people.

Also aether is not and has never been core on SK.

I'll move Aether back.

I don't see the hero being a support. That's more remnants of how he was played with his old abilities.
It can be altered the day of his release.

meta changes, SK used to not be played mid/offlane, now he does get played mid/offlane. Still super viable as pos 4, and who knows how long the current state will continue.

I've played the support version and always disliked its passivity.

I will try this one sometime this week.

I really dislike that build. It sucks up a lot of space for a position that should be generating space, requires the team to provide setup for torrent for basically the whole game, and usually ends up sacrificing the 3. It's super situational and panders to everything that pub supports already do wrong.

That said, everyone will want to try it now so you might get some subscribers from it.

Plus with 6.89 coming at some point, drastic changes don't make a whole lot of sense at this stage.

If you're still updating guides prior to the patch, I think it's now pretty clear which side of the dusa debate has won. The hero should definitely be going phase/roa/dlance/yasha into skadi (linkens)/bfly etc.
