I don't think you know what a holding company does


Which part is stolen? river ramp and dire fountain?

Only thing I have seen that looks stolen is item icons, but those of blurry off screen things. I really don't see why people have jump on them so soon.
 
Ah, I figured as much. I've seen her mounts. :)

If I wasn't so bad at manually aiming targets, I would totally rock Mirana. Dat stun is ridiculous. But like Windrunner, I just suck at targeting people from a distance.
Just start chucking them and learn how people react. If you have another stun on your team try being a follow up stunner. Very easy to hit a stationary target even from distance

Spirit Breaker might not see any pro play but he enjoys a lot of popularity in pubs. Poor SB nothin'. You want to talk about poor heroes talk about morph. Used to be picked in pro games but now no one wants him; he's like a leper.

Yo he could be played as a support. 3 second stun is nothing to laugh at and Waveform is a good nuke/escape as well. Not to mention the global presence you'd get from Replicate being able to follow someone else around and be there to help them out at a moments notice. Besides the scouting potential Replicate gives you.

Just go full strength and get support items and life is good.
 
Rubick is the most fun character to play with, I love his voice and his phrases... if you think otherwise, well, you are pretty much wrong.

Maybe in a pub.

Problem is that other supports are good early. Morph's stun is ass early and he has shitty attack range so it's more difficult to harass people out of the lane.

Being able to replicate and jump in at a moment's notice is nice and all but supports generally hang around near their teammates anyways. Split push is where replicate excels and as a split pushing support, morph doesn't seem nearly as good as a prophet.
 
Nope. There are obviously heroes that are better than others in competitive play but you can play pretty much anything in pubs (as long as you're not playing the 5th carry in a team or something like that)

Yes.

Then 2 months later it shows up in a comp game and it suddenly becomes FOTM.

Treant is bad forever though.

I see. I got the impression that IceFrog is fairly proficient when it comes to balancing so that's good to hear.
 
The only heroes I'd consider absolute trash tier are Skeleton King and Huskar. Everybody else can fulfill a niche, no matter how small.

Yes, Treant is viable. #dealwithit

Yeah, there's no-one who, given a decent team who thinks about how to compensate for their weaknesses, you cannot have fun and be effective with, at least in the pub scene.

Of course there's a massive assumption there. But when you get a good team its glorious
