I think ES is just badly designed. As a core you need to snowball EXTREMELLY hard (because god knows his right click is shit and his nukes don't carry well into the lategame), as a support he's too squishy because almost all of his abilities require him to be up close and personal (unlike most supports who can just hang back)

His former iteration was OP because he just fucking SMASHED the laning stage. As soon as he hit level 3, you were dead. Now, not so much.

He's sort of like Clockwork, except Clockwork is about a billion times more consistent and easier to play. Clockwork also doesn't fall off as hard.

tl;dr Earth Spirit is actually shit

I think the state of balance in this game is probably the worst I've ever seen (pub wise). There's so many broken heros right now and games are hardly ever decent/fun. This is why I'm so upset about this stupid techies update, I don't care about that hero at all and this is the first major update in many months Valve's done but there's still no end in sight to how bad pubs are.

This qq is mostly about how fucking broken void is. You can literally lose lane/do nothing in the laning phase and as soon as you hit six you automatically get easy pickoffs/teamfight wins. There's also no punishment because the cooldown on chrono is so low for some mysterious reason.

Edit: secondary qq about how stupid and unnecessary the cm int nerf was, completely ruined one of the few supports I like, I'm not a fan of the balance in this game right now.

Eh, furion offlane is legit especially in a pushing lineup with Chen. Of course this hinges on the capability of the furion to solo offlane and creep skip/pull enemy waves with treants and shit. The pick itself isn't bad, but the triple midas probably cost you the game.

I had a game recently where the Disruptor said to report the Wraith King for intentional feeding. I also happened to review the replay of this game and found something rather different.

Pregame: Disrupter is supporting Wraith King against a defensive trilane. Disruptor places a ward that watches the jungle near the lane, but not the pull camp.

Setup: The Wraith King gets harassed a lot early, burns all his regen, and still gets pushed out of lane repeatedly. The pull camp is stacked and pulled into uncontested a couple of times. Disruptor gets first blood while Wraith King is out of XP range.

Death 1: Disruptor backs up to tower, leaving Wraith King alone at half health against 3 for about 5 seconds. Wraith King gets stunned and right clicked to death.

Death 2: The trilane walks right past Disruptor, chain stuns the Wraith King and right clicks him to death. Due to zone-outs and pulls, the trilane is all higher level than the Wraith King.

Death 3: The level 4 Wraith king, who at this point has 2/3s of his Treads and nothing else due to buying extra salves and TPs, gets run over by a level 8 Ember Spirit with a haste rune.

Death 4: Wraith King gets dove under his tier 2, with the tier 1 still standing. Disruptor, who was at base, decided to walk over to help instead of using a TP.

Death 5: Teamfight where Wraith King would have been fine if he'd had his ult ready. Unfortunately, he was still level 5.

I don't think Disruptor has any grounds to blame Wraith King for the feed, even though the Wraith King should have grabbed a Stout Shield.

You misunderstand what he was saying. He picked furion for the jungle intending to force Chen to solo support, which is pretty comically bad. (unless you're the Chen/Lich player, then it's tragically awful and the type of game that makes you want to quit dota out of frustration) The triple midases were just the icing on the cake of a 4 carry team all trying to play like carries. (I'm assuming here that this is the type of furion that jacks off alone in the jungle for 12 minutes, not the type of furion that actively tps all over the map to win his team the laning phase)

Every pudge matchup is easy until he lands a hook.

But puck is probably one of the safest heroes against him, yeah, of course.

Pudge's bad matchups mid are the ones where he's still in trouble if he lands the first hook.

Pudge's bad matchups mid are almost all of them, he's a terrible laner.

I took skywrath mid today, was very successful. I had a bad lina on my team who was mediocre except she was really awful with light strike array. REALLY bad.

So she bought euls scepter. And I swear, every time I tried to combo down someone on the enemy team she would windstaff them, and give them time for blink to come off cooldown, or negate the silence I just put on them, or even take them out of mystic flare.

We lost so quickly after that. Incredibly frustrating.

Edit: and no, she never actually pulled off a euls > LSA

Actually feel bad for that Leoric reading this. It feels horrible when you're a carry and this happens.

As weak as the hero is in the current state of the game she trashes pudge 1v1. I kept counter picking pudge with her, but got so fucking frustrated that our carries always lost lategame no matter the kill advantage i generated early on, that i simply stopped playing her. Since then i only play pushers and carries.
