His Ult is so fucking stupid and how the fuck does it make sense to give a Strength hero that much Attack Speed.. Plus the fact that your teammates are Retarded doesn't help...Tinker Skills 2 points in Rearm before getting march , Doesn't build BOT and walks back to base every time he uses his q+w combo and suddenly finds all his mana zapped after using rearm at level 7..
On a calmer note , what are the Hard counters to Huskar..I figured out Blademail would do fine but what all heroes can go 1v1 vs him?
Nuke the **** out of him with any bursthero there is. He loses 50% of his hp after his ult. Also as yourself mentioned already blademail is fairly good. If he should get a BKB things become a lot harder ofc. Kiting still is an option, as long as his ult is on CD - Close to impossible with Aghs now. Herowise you can put your trust in necrolyte in case of a 1v1. His ult should give huskar a hard time. Apart from that the usual counters: Disable, doom, ghostscepter etc.
Necrolyte does pretty well vs Huskar. Let him ult you -> Heal bomb to get him lower -> ult him for instagib. If needed, you can insert a Mek + 2nd heal bomb to get him lower before ulti without dying yourself. AA ult is also pretty great vs him, as is AA's magic damage amplify (before he ults).
And, if you really must, Ursa can manfight him pretty well. But Ursa has lots of other issues.

Manfight is all I want Really...I just wanna Fucking Destroy a Huskar 1v1...I can't move forward in DOTA before i do that.
Faceless void doesn't have that high HP, so the ult isn't wrecking you, and you can backtrack it. Plus, you can fight him till he really starts hurting (around 25% HP) and THEN drop your chrono for an easy kill.
Alternatively, just buy a Heaven's Halberd every time you see him. The eHP from the item is extremely cost effective, and the disarm lasts extra long on Huskar because he is ranged.
Oh yeah, assuming you have even passable reaction speed, nyx's E does work vs huskar ulti.
I counterpick huskar with brewmaster. that 75% miss chance lets you 1v1 him. it gets a little harder when he gets bkb ofc, but even then its still helpful when his bkb is on cd. And then you have a great emergency button in your ult.
I almost never see huskars played anymore, lock them down when they are low hp and or nuke them. The only thing I think is broken right now is track gold bonus and maybe dirge early game. So strong before 20 mins, less than mediocre afterwards.
- If the enemy picks Pudge, he will fucking rape your team, no matter what. However if he should ever be in your team, he will hook nothing but creeps and your tide / SK / ES blinking in and pulling them back, resulting in their initiations to airball completely. - A team of 4-5 carrys will always win against you. There is the exception, that when your team consists of 3+ carries you will get roflstomped by whatever the enemies have within 15-20 minutes. No. Matter. What.
Yes I am mad and my hair just turned golden, while standing up high.

Played Lycan for the first time since 6.75, and for the first time in a lane (out of 10 games I'd always jungled). Was getting harassed and shut down really bad so I went up to top lane to get some farm, queue my team harassing me for 15minutes, even while I'd pushed every lane to the T3 during that time and got more than enough farm just because I missed one team fight. Then we win and everyone shuts the fuck up. Still 100% Lycan win rate.
This was supposed to be a qq but I don't have the heart for it
I'm new to the genre and assume my MMR is still as low as possible. Still, people take shit so seriously, calling each other faggots and retards. A game is supposed to be fun, not emotionally-abusive bronze league. I don't know what would motivate someone to call people 'gay niggers' during a video game.
Either the guy who used silencer didn't know how to play or Tiny with Centaur is one of the most op combos I have ever seen. Tiny throw + Centaur stomp + Tiny throws rock = Instant death.

Every online game will turn into this. Just the competitive nature of people + anonymity of online.

dota is a game where you can litterally screw your entire team over simply by not doing well. that being said it doesn't give people the right to be abusive. the mute button in these situations are a godsend

Agreed, I love the mute function. I'm always the guy who responds with "relax guys we're doing ok" and "we can still win this" and "stop fighting we're winning". It never does anything but it makes me feel better and helps me deal with everyone being a jerk.
To add some qq to the topic, a couple days ago I was playing Tinker and asked for mid early after i insta-locked (I said "middle please" instead of the usual "mid or i afk"). Anyways, last guy randoms Shadow Fiend and starts following me up middle lane. He pings and says "GFTO of my lane". I tell him I called it but he says "IM THE ONLY HERO WITH TWO ANTIHERO NUKES WTF LIKE IM GONNA LET YOU GO MID LOL". I just said whatever and went top with Venge who said "Don't worry man we're gonna dominate our lane!".
So venge auto attacks constantly in a random fashion, even after being asked to stop. It's so hard to last hit because of this (also because I'm still not 100% comfortable with his animation) and my travels take way too long. SF and PA start yelling at Venge for always "swapping the dead guy" and then PA is like "lol ill buy a rapier and dive their towers. Two kills are worth losing it!"
Thankfully jerk SF and jerk PA played pretty well, Luna got farm somehow (what a team comp!), our opponents top were terrible and I heard that Tinker player is pretty good.
As always, a positive attitude always leads to, if not a victory, a close game and a good time. This time it was both.

Dota 2 is worse since you can't just leave your game unless you're willing to get the Abandon. For better or worse, for the next 20~60 minutes you're forced to play together with your teammates - and as mentioned, if your teammates are bad YOU'RE screwed over.
watch from 3 minutes 12 seconds, P.Flax puts it nicely
