Well, all of tusk's abilities are narrow, offensive-only abilities (except his ward but that dies really fast if your opponents get to attack it so it is also best used offensively). While this makes him extremely powerful when ganking and playing aggressively (especially from a lead), it also makes him a non-factor when you can't afford to be agressive (AKA when ur behind). The proverbial "Snowball" hero (haha gr8 pun 10/10). If he could give his punch to allies he'd be a ton better. | ||

Funny! I made a smurf acc and was placed in "very high" bracket after 2-3 games, but most players were still terribad (other than some other smurfs). That you seem to think it's some kind of achievement or something to be proud of to be in very high bracket tells a lot. | ||

As easy as you think it is to just "not die" and only "feed a little," your friends will show you just how wrong you are. And then, they will do it again. edit: And then, they will blame you for not ganking. And then, you will find yourself driving down the road at 2am just to push that guy down the nearest flight of stairs. Happens when i play with my girlfriend constantly, always whines at me the second i am not ganking. Also when i "dont save her" if we are in lane together and shit. | ||

Take mid, spam illuminate on creeps until you get shadowblade/bottle. Run to side lane, hit them with surprise illuminate, shadowblade and finish em off. Recall someone else and now you can push a tower. Repeat in every other lane. | ||

 You win every harass war plus your opponents are wildly under-levelled all the time. Plus he has level 1 rosh applications if needed. | ||

I'm gonna make the argument that when 2/3 of your abilities require/revolve around units in melee range around you attacking you, and your ultimate also requires melee range, Axe is very much about standing next to opponents and being attacked by them. Obviously you'd like to use him as an initiator where you "disable" a large part of their team (through BKB no less) into attacking you while your team casts spells on them and gg's them, but often that is difficult to achieve in pubs. Battle hunger is a powerful ability and is quite good at punishing opponents who won't commit to engagements, but it isn't like that ability is enough to justify the hero. | ||
