Whoops! Looks like a few errors slipped through the cracks again: - Slardar Aghs also adds one level to his Innate, giving him extra tankiness - Tidehunter Gush doesn't stun, but it does reduce enemy armor Note that like I said in the ending, I'm just one guy covering all of this on such a short timespan (internal goal of covering every Dota Hero AND League Champ before TI and Worlds respectively), inevitably stuff will fall through the cracks.

Not sure how you missed it, but Slardar's Aghs' doesn't just make the puddle bigger, it also upgrades Seaborn Sentinel, tripling armor, quadrupling health regen and granting 40% status resistance at max level while standing in water.
@@giogio51592 No, I wasn't really around for that era but I do remember when there were a decent number of Offlaners that could be solo and honestly stomp the lane hard. Come back to me Old Bristle ;-;
@giogio51592 Yes you are a masochist, and I'm with you the golden age of "my success is determined by the number of denies my enemy has", and if you managed to get a few creeps in a wave you felt like a god. come late game you would just play the danger lane or group and let your pos 4/5 do it instead now there's too much pressure for you to shut down the enemy pos 1 in lane and pressure their farm and gank and get a cs lead and group and play the danger lane and farm jungle at the same time
Well I played either Dark seer, sacrificing xp for gold by slapping an Ion shell on the wave and staying back so I don't die, getting gold but missing out on xp as the wave pushes into the enemy. Or I played Tidehunter, leveling shell and anchor smash, stacking my ancients and farming them on level 3 because kraken shell was busted as fuck plus it helped you stay in lane while the ancients were respawning. Or I played bristleback and 1v3'd. Rushed vanguard and then rushed the tri-lane and butcher them when i hit 6. Although I was mainly a pos 4 player back then, with occasionally swapping to 5 (they weren't that different back then honestly, the biggest difference was who bought wards/couriers and who roamed) or a pos 1. I wasn't a fan of the suicide lane but loved bulling offlaners. Now I'm an offlaner. Ironic.
Wr main here.tiny is bane of wr existence in early/mid game because of craggy exterior and inate damage block u just cant kill him with focus fire and he has a tonn of magic damage with ava toss
I mostly play support now, but when I started to learn DOTA, I genuinely thought Underlord was a support hero. Even now, I play him as a pos4. I've had a few toxic teammates , but with the utility of ult and W, he's so good with cores that want to fight early and carries that scale hard plus his ult is so good for rosh denies and pushing lanes going from bot to top after the enemy rotates looking for a team fight onky to lose two towers.
I used to be a visage enthusiast back in the day, he was mainly played as a support though but I played him as an offlaner sometimes too. On support you went mech and auras and on core you went medalion desolator and orchid. I haven't touched him in years, decided to play him a few months ago and I found out I suck at him now. And honestly I don't even feel like re-learning him again. At least my other main sandking is still strong (well they nerfed him into the ground but now apparently the invis facet is pretty good and he's seeing a lot of picks in pro play and high elo).
If you go right click instead of auras on Viper the hero does not drop off. He needs to keep his networth up, and his medicore farming speed hurts him a lot if he falls behind, but a farmed up right-click Viper can be incredibly tanky while also doing a shit ton of damage.
As a WR main, I consider offlaner as someone who should be able to complement pos 1 2 and 4 5. WR is the most versatile hero, at least top 2 with invo, so her being an offlaner is very natural & fitting.
funny thing, it's more likely to be permastunned with the Dust Devil facet since the ammount of spikes are the same but in a smaller area, making it more likelly to hit someone in the area, stun someone, use durade sandstorm, stay alive and have fun!
Not sure why you picked Genshin Impact's soundtrack here, but I'm not complaining, I love those musics, but I got a bit confused "Wait, I turned off the game, why am I listening to Genshin's music???" XD
yo dog don't say visage is good like that, we keep it a secret for a reason. Also dark seer hard couters your second facet because you cannot run away from your familiars, its the worse.
Please take this as a compliment, but I know jack shit about Dota. I have no idea what's happening but i think you're voice is cool and have watched all the offlaner videos.
I do agree with Visage being the best Noob friendly micro character. If you're new to microing. pressing tab allows you to scroll through your unit. this being said if you want to immediately stun an opponent. just spam tab+Q.
Aat this point I think it is kinda hilarious that the Support video is already kinda outdated not even a month in and with no major patches in between because pros are actually legitimately picking support morphling
You said Gust from Tidehunter wrong. It doesn't stun, but it reduces armor. Also how DARE you say Twisted Chakram is more consistent and fun than Chakram? Is literally just a generic skillshot and is too small and erratic to be more consistent. Chakram is way more fun to use! Twisted Chakram is not bad but I actually miss the second ult. I wish they make it less like a Skillshot. PD: Good Vid btw!
I probably should clarify that I meant Twisted Chakram is more consistent than the Shredder Facet since your opponent isn't always going to be near a tree lmao

Pair Disorder Arc Warden with Visage for a true nightmare. Luckily, you will never get both an Arc Warden AND a Visage on the same team.

I'm a new player, really like Huskar, played against Viper one game, cried.
Viper can counter huskar with his ult. Huskar's passive is what makes him strong and durable. Viper can mute huskar's passive with his ult.

This! Is literally why Scepter is so GigaSTRONG. Watching this video actually Made me think they removed the pasive upgrade in latest patch.
Contrary to belief, wolves do in fact need armor

Visage, my one true love. The true Universal hero where you can pick him at any role whatsoever.
If you go right click instead of auras on Viper the hero does not drop off. He needs to keep his networth up, and his medicore farming speed hurts him a lot if he falls behind, but a farmed up right-click Viper can be incredibly tanky while also doing a shit ton of damage.
Shredder is also the name of the unit he is based on in warcraft 3

yo dog don't say visage is good like that, we keep it a secret for a reason. Also dark seer hard couters your second facet because you cannot run away from your familiars, its the worse.
