The most BROKEN support in Dota 2 right now
@ZQuixotix Abaddon Aghs every game! This the second patch they nerfed it in a row. Before your whole team could run into the fountain and live no problem or 5 man no deaths an axe call jakiro ult combo. lol I healed 90k from one game because Aba Aghs was OP. Not sure if its worth getting every game now though.
Bro has the cat cam
cat cam is such a dub bro. You earned a hell yea from me lol
Heck yeah! It's me! The buff is for me! The one Visage player
I made an audible "oh no" when I saw the 7.36c because I instantly thought about your pos5 tier list vid xD
idk if they just forgot to put this in the patch notes, but Veno's Plague Carrier facet doesn't allow the wards to attack neutral creeps when they're on a hero. I can't tell if it's intentional or not
Commenticity to make for unlucky timing in the 5 video
how do you play against lone druid's unbearable?
Kataomi of Entity was the first to play Sven supp in pro play, I believe. Seems natural that he'd do it again; and probably more with this Heavy Plate buff.
That forsaken facet on spectre is vad, ones you commit your ulti and kill heroes you can't back to the lane you came from. If you tp back its a lot of gold to spend also if you not fet the last hit, do I still prefer a twist of the knife but still a good buff
That Pudge nerf hurts. Still need to Nerf Naix more.
You cant play slark again now, hes good only with willow with bedlam, slark needs a teammates with burst damage, so sad
pos 4 tierlist please
Aren’t they tired of constantly killing tinker???
The cat’s name is Hephaestus right? I thought you called him Asbestos at first😂
The pudge hook speed nerf was 100% needed You don't realise how op it was, it was the second speed buff in recent years and if you were a low turnrate low movespeed hero like underlord/necro/viper, at the start of the game before you had boots or windlace the new hook was essentially impossible to dodge. The pre boot/windlace timing of the game was just terror against that facet.
Aaaaaa even youuu say that medusa dont need hp/lifesteal…! I cannot believe it!!! Mana shield is just to not get bursted.. not to sustain omg.. that facet is so great and any medusa with manaboots shall be reported
Treant shard bonus movement in trees is dumb. You still get bonus movement by 12%. Hammer is still good. Belam yes it's anerf but I like how it is now just press the key while getting ganked is easy to cast
Yeah, WD is Gutted!
I'm the one Visage player lol
A bit of boots-on-the-ground suggests that the WD nerf is a lot harder hitting than the numbers would suggest. In particular, going from 700 to 600 at level 1 puts you in a MUCH riskier position, and makes it less likely that you can safely tag both enemies without getting beaten on in return. The reduction in self-heal is huge because WD is still at the end of the day a squishy low-mobility support. Early on, that heal is the only thing keeping you slightly more durable than a creep. Your theoretical "ideal" DPS hasn't changed at all, but your practical ability to execute that ideal DPS has been severely hampered.
i really enjoyed this pub oriented video format more than your previous tierlists! i didnt mind the extra length at all
I have 8 games as Naga pos 5 with 6 of them being wins. I usually duo with a pos 1 with a CC. Deluge > root > WK stun is almost a 5 sec lockdown in lane. I rush shard if I have a lot of HP on the team, otherwise aether lens, force staff or aura items are good imo.
Best Dota channel by far - no others are even close
What a non-patch
As someone who's been playing phoenix for a long time, this is a great time to learn it. My wr is ~60% all time but in the last 1-2 patches it's been upwards of 80%
+1 for the standing desk
O:15 Hephestus sounded like Asbestos 😂
You can't ignore half the hero list and then spend half of the video speaking about heroes you personally like. I don't play clockwerk, also CK was really strong in b, and you completely ignored him. Hopefully this criticism helps you make better content in the future
The CK nerf is entirely irrelevant, he lost 0.1 strength gain and 2 strength on his 10 talent. It’s 5 strength at level 30
It feels like this new patch: they're giving carries a way to become support, and support characters to become carries
"I was at the receiving end before, and it sucks" 4:33 😊
Mark my word- Snapfire Core is going to be strongest
Not sure why people bitch at WD, you get instantly jumped and killed, ulti does so insanely little damage that is laughable… even glass cannons just sit around chilling, waiting for you to come out of your ward form to kill you in 2 strikes. Veno is more of an annoyance these days because now poison does close to 0 damage, and in general supports became so weak and useless not only in mid and late game but in early game as well, that carry don’t even bother helping anymore. It is literally a miracle if a carry bothers to attack the player attacking a support. I am yet to enjoy a single game in current meta. Not exaggerating, I am playing since 2012 and there is not 1 game that I enjoyed. Even if we win, is like my carry won, supports did shit, except buying wards and feeding while putting them.
Absolutely delusional perspective, I’ve been queuing all roles (I’m not even a support player) and I’ve won 9 of my last 10 ranked games, there are a lot of supports that have huge impact right now. Skill issue
@@tyharris14 yea, I am sure forgot 12 years dota after an update. I was a veno fan literally for the last 5 years and out of the blue i forgot to play it over night. I went from extremely rare negative kd (and yes that is important even for supports, nobody asks you to have 30 kills but you should NOT feed) from constantly die 7 times, over night. Nothing works anymore, nothing have an impact, you just go put wards. If you got stuns then you may have an impact but that is about it. Last night, I was playing Undying, and also had CM. With tomb, with me getting their stats down, with CM ulti un top and the enemy were just chilling. They were "yes we move a little slower, but we were not in a hurry tu leave anyway" around 20% hp each they lost from all that. 4 patches ago there would have not been a living soul left in the that AoE, but I am sure it is just skill, they did not take damage out of pure skill, not because of the cringe update.
@@kurt120032002 lol? Undying is kind of weak but has always fallen off late game, and veno is strong right now, but only with the patient zero facet. If you took the ward one, no surprise you fed. Also, heroes with stuns are inherently valuable, just…pick one of them.
@@tyharris14 oh yes patient zero, spreading slow... that does literally close to no damage. Only noobs get scared from that. those who realize they are getting no damage, and carry on with the fight, can't care less. Yes I use the patient zero. I just won a Veno game, like 3 min ago. while i did not feed, I was doing 2/3 of the damage I was doing for years.
@@kurt120032002 you’re utterly clueless. It isn’t just a spreading slow, you’ve misread the skill. It only doesn’t do the impact damage of noxious plague again when it spreads, it still does the max HP as damage, and it punishes the enemy for grouping up because they’ll spread max HP damage to the whole group.
Aba was really good igot sooo many wins on pos 4and 5
10:27 if you lose the duel you lose your soul
LOL OP CAT stream, need NERF.
whole dang kitty camera!?!?!
wtf bedlam not castable on allies thats 2 nerfs whyyy
willow is dead
WTF whats the point of having Bedlam as spell even if you cant cast it on allies...
she was originally a mid hero, they are trying to bring that back
@@jrg-qc9yq That's why they removed the 25 talent with +100 atk speed?
Scattershot pos 5 support sniper, all im going to say.
Since watching your videos and applying/learning what I got from your insights, I've been slowly climbing the ranks. Thanks! Sure, I'm a herald V right now, but I'm confident that I can win most of my games using these information you provided.
No clinkz nerf ty icefrog
Gotta love going on a 30 minute brake and seeing a new patch video dropped
omg cat
The patch changes are snall, I'd really like to see the 4 tier list
never watch your channel but i got hook with cat cam and detail explaination
my boy kotl still dead :(
What the fuck were the devs smoking buffing LC? Are they stupid? She dominates every single match she's in in my archon games. The venge changes are also bad. Core venge needed nerfed, no support.
more cat in every video thanks
