super cheesy 10th pick “i’m so good xd” heroes:
broodmother
meepo
huskar
templar assassin
honestly treant is so miserable to lane against. he does so much right click damage and heal it makes 0 sense. And necro seems to be the hero right now, i’ve seen it in like the past 10 games. specs been broken and is currently the best carry hero u can pick. it’s pretty much free mmr if u had a decent start and the game extends past 30 minutes
i’d say it’s the opposite, every mongoloid can pick cm and spam their q while providing mana to the entire team. heroes like TA/brood/meepo requires the player to be at least decent
one is that many of them cause heroes to snowball way too hard
another is that a lot of late game talents act as passes to play like an idiot
one example is brew’s perma ult
either way they’ve ironically made the game infinitely more boring for me than it was previously
talents aren’t my only issue though, a lot of hero and item changes (some i’ve complained about previously, some i have not) were straight unnecessary and didn’t serve any purpose other than to buff heroes and playstyles that didn’t need buffs and nerf heroes and playstyles that didn’t need nerfs
the introduction of talents REALLY muddled how valve handles balance though. like, if you thought they were bad before, now look at all the shit they need to juggle to make the game playable. and so far they’ve been failing if you ask me
if you’re fine with this then cool, but personally all this did was alienate me from a game i’ve played for over a decade. valve has prioritized switching their game up sporadically to draw new players in over actually balancing their game, which i find really slimy. i was ready to leave anyway though
yeah safe lane is pretty bad right now I mostly played mid in other patches but the best lane to play right now is offlane for sure if the enemy support is a weak lane support it just ends up turning into either a kill lane or the enemy carry has to sit under tower. Spec is bullshit though I had a game where offlane beat my ass and all I did was go full ricer mode and hit r as often as possible to get that sweet aoe gold and the other team just couldn’t do anything past like 30 mins
Safe lane is just hoping the other teams carry gets shit on harder than you and hoping the other team forgets about you for 10 minutes after the laning phase is over
my smurf just went 5.4>4.5 because in 3 of my calibration games my pc crashed and i got abandons in all 3. also got lp after the last one. these are sad times
after losing ~600 mmr im just tryna play this game for fun (especially since the patch is so random).
I now only play pudge and if its banned i just pick whatever
I learned that pudge is broken as hell
heres a pic from 48 mins into my game
