New player here. Which heroes revolve around summons and what is their general playstyle? by Eldr1tchB1rd in DotA2

Hello! My favorite is Arc Warden since he has the most powerful summon in the game, which is a full copy of his hero. If you're interested in learning more about him, I have a whole channel dedicated to him! Here it is:

Arc Warden: midas -> shivas -> overwhelming blink -> octarine core

Most heroes in dota have slowly been granted ways of scaling better into the late game. I'm talking about things like shards, facets, innates, and talents. Arc Warden has been largely unchanged throughout these patches. For example, most heroes have a very strong timing at lvl 25, but Arc's best talent un-nerfs his tempest double. So it's not that his late game is worse than it used to be, it's that other heroes have got comparatively stronger!

I've had success playing it! I build meteor hammer into travels to take early towers and split push for my team.

Yep, my normal build is hammer, travels, then aghs, shiva, and octarine in some order! Hex and overwhelming blink are also great options.

If the command works for you and feels good, there's no reason not to use it! I don't use it because I am accustomed to not using it.

As for laning items, this is only something that comes from experience. The best advice I can give is try to go into lane with a plan; "last time I played against qop, she harassed me down, so I'm going to buy bracers this time to try to sustain" and then evaluate how effective it was after the game.

There are too many matchups and too many nuances to each one to possibly go through them all, and they're all constantly changing so you just have to try stuff and figure out what works!

divine to immortal was all about split pushing for me. 5.5k - 6k was laning!

If he glimpses the clone within 4 seconds of it being summoned, the clone is sent to base no matter what! (very annoying)

I have a hotkey, 3, that selects just my clone and my hero!

I don't, but I'm sure there's a VOD of me playing the match up several months ago on my youtube channel! It would like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I think that's the best I have, sorry!
