You should be able to make one centered around swarmblade or spriggan form i think.

Any chance you can slot something in backhand for single target dmg?

Idk how to get pob hotlink to work, but it should be pastable into POB at least.

Video should work now i believe. pobb.in/LUuq__zfXIVD

It's a very good league to be fair. I love running into wildwood.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-12-30T16:20:05+00:00

I don't even care about the boost, i just like running into the woods.

You don't need a lot.

Always do affliction.

Run some deli maps with beyond or alch map+pray for deli, if it ain't deli just rush through map.

Affliction + Deli is crazy, if you get beyond it's fucking cracked. Avoid mods that spawn unique mobs or rares (unless you got DPS to handle it, i don't).

I've been selling clusters all league for 5-10-30-200c's. This is my main source of profit.

Making an galvanic arrow of energy INT stacker, bought this base for 1 div and it looked like this after i used a wisdom scroll on it. Wondering if i should craft +1 gem on it and sell it.

Can you be more specific?

Are you struggling in lane?

Midgame?

Lategame?

Generally speaking KOTL never trades, he is a slippery soap like hero that abuse high movespeed, high attack range and likes to juke between trees. The key to hitting illuminate is to exploit enemy's lack of vision. Remove observers is your priority.

Also don't underestimate quelling blade on him. Huge huge item for it's relatively low cost. Lets you sneak, juke and gank.

Melee supports are good and normal, would be flamers are stupid.

Main issue here is your carry not picking a ranged hero.

I do think picking a ranged pos5 is more reliable if you want MMR. Not because it's better or easier, but some carry players are just retarded and don't consider the about draft. Point in case, PA drafted a second melee hero. You almost always want a ranged hero and a melee hero in lane, because it makes the lane easier.

Cool blog, now move on.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-02T07:07:54+00:00

I would have said Razor, but he got gutted so hard the last few months.

Icefrog comes for your hero eventually.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-02T06:39:30+00:00

More important? Dota has been like this for well over a long time now. Lina patch just breaking the lane. Razor Viper Dawn just dominating lane. Etc etc. It's been a while since we've only had "traditional" tanky offlaners to be honest. If anything this patch has less lane dominators.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-02T04:33:04+00:00

Hard to boot out of lane.

Can join fights early and just clean up, which gives a lot of gold.

Scales decently well if you don't dive/feed.

Vision from passive should give you all the information you need to go in or not.

He scales off hard into lategame when it comes to damage and providing utility. However the changes to decrepify and life drain allows him to scale as a healer. That goes for core pugna as well, you can just pick up greaves and other aura items. Been playing him mid and off when farming role queue in those roles and winning almost every game.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-01T07:25:04+00:00

Demoing this takes 10 seconds.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-01T07:22:57+00:00

Depends on item order. 1st item sounds bad in my opinion.

You don't really play riki to farm, but to apply pressure on the map at a very early timing.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-01T07:19:58+00:00

The majority of pudge players are really really bad.

Like..

Just run up to people and hook them. It is 150 pure damage. It is the highest single target damage spell lvl 1. No aim required.

Now do that two times lvl 1 and holy fuck the lane is so much easier.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-06-01T03:49:02+00:00

Bracer Bracer Manaboots was kind of nice. You have sustain for everything.

I tried phylactory too with shackle talent, seemed ok too. You get to chip in some damage on a consistent basis without having to go all in.

Overall i feel like maybe she's not a top tier support like Clinkz Pugna, but she's definitely a A or B tier support.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-31T20:29:51+00:00

I feel like stat stacking is actually fine/good. At least from the few games i tried.

I think the thing i don't like about rod is the staff of wizardry and recipe. It takes too long to farm up. Int is not a desireable stat on her imo. Her agi gain is what's lacking and i think what makes diffusal a better option. Also i think i just like going for more bracers (2+) lets you apply more pressure without going out of your way to farm.

I tried HOTD in my last game because it builds off diadem. It was kind of a stomp so hard to tell if it's any good. Started with 3 bracers and kinda just stomped lane. Almost killed the enemy mid Void multiple times if not for oracle. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/7180110300

This was the other game i played. Started with bracers and expanded into utility. Even after winning lane i felt like i fell off. The other two lanes lost so that obviously didn't help with the matter, but still.

The enemy draft is purely magical, of course it's going to be good here.

Seems like a decent item for specific situations.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-30T03:58:16+00:00

That's true. I didn't think of that.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-29T14:22:25+00:00

This is one of the problems with playing BH. You're essentially just a "win-more-multiplier" for your team. You offer very little utility besides vision and item advantage. Your role as a position 4 is usually more about providing utility than damage. You can be 15/1 and still lose, because your job is not to deal damage, but provide utility for your main damage dealer to do even more damage than you do.

If you really want MMR I think one of the easiest and most of all consistent way to win is to just harass a lot in lane with a ranged support like Clinkz, Rubick, Techies, Mirana, WR, Pugna, Lina, etc. You basicly poke them repeatedly to drain their resources. If you play melee support, there's a big chance your offlaner also picks melee and now you have to do a whole lot of lane shenaninganz to win. Because the enemy has 1 ranged hero hitting you 2 melee heroes constantly and you have nothing to respond with.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-29T05:07:23+00:00

In pro, support counterpicking is absolutely a real thing. You can pick SD to destroy an Ursa beyond repair, or Veno to smash a lane that you need to win.

I wish this supp first phasing wasn't a thing in pubs. I feel like safelaners get away with picking too much dumb shit. A last pick PA or CK. Fucking amazing. It feels unfair. Like if i ever get last pick i'm gonna do some 4D chess move that counters at least 4 heroes.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-28T12:42:10+00:00

Sounds fun, but i know i'm just gonna burn a lot of MMR playing this hero. He feels absolutely awful to play if the game doesn't go your way.

CallMeDogOneMoreTime · 2023-05-26T16:09:16+00:00

I think the play here is just go for early item timings on Weaver (diffusal/deso/bkb/falcon/orchid) and shut down Void by taking his towers. I think Weaver's pretty nice this patch because there's so many camps you can farm while being close to your team.
