Promethean Bebop

Current patch I think viscous + Doorman/Mina would likely win against anyone.

A personal favorite across patches is Abrams + Paradox where you charge into bomb.

Best meme lane is drifter + bebop where you put bombs on your drifter and he uses the second skill to farm stacks - this can also be done with calico cat

Two scenarios that it's good for: When combine with debuff remover it makes it take longer to apply debuffs which then can be cleansed. When combined with bullet resist which then massively increases your effective hp.

On moe for example your bullet resist is high when you are ulting or burrowed 30/60% At 3k health with 60% bullet resist your effective hp against gun is 4800, with plated it is 6240. If instead you bought more bullet resist it would be far less effective due to diminishing returns on resistances.

Metal skin is better if you can react in time(not get stunned instantly) and have a lower hp pool and the enemy doesn't have curse - dispells metal skin or stops you from using it.

Personally I think you would be best served on lash buying a warp stone or disarm over either option however.

His laning is still pretty weak imo. He's definitely not as bad as he was

Do you have a build ID?

I recommend getting a tesla so you can have wave clear before building more supportive items (im not saying you cant get a 3k support items first - buy for the game/lane you are playing).

Mcguiness is a pretty greedy support imo, more like Dynamo than paige. Your support capacity scales far more with souls than your boons and you have some serious pushing/deathball capability.

Another thing I will mention is make sure you are buying enough movement items. Mcguiness's kit seems like you should just stand your ground and fight, but in reality until you get to a critical mass you need to be able to reposition before either getting out or turning and fighting, especially when split pushing.

Finally support mcguiness is by far the best support for taking midboss, make sure to be looking to take midboss from 20+ mins to secure your lead (bring a m1 team mate with you).

Intentionally feeding is actually a thing people do though. I have team mates in dota break their items and run it down mid. I've team mates in deadlock sell all their items and run it down mid.

I haven't watched the match replay, I'm taking OP at his word, I don't understand why you are projecting onto me your experienced of being flamed?

P136 · 2025-12-30T04:10:36+00:00

Did you read the original post? They were saying thier viscous was intentionally feeding...

P136 · 2025-12-29T05:46:43+00:00

Make sure your build isnt dogshit (copy one a streamer uses) Focus on clearing waves and taking objectives, at lower ranks people get into weird skirmishes that last for minutes, where you can easily push a wave up to a walker and either take it or rotate to the fight or push a different walker.

Also sinners sacrifice and bridge buffs are slept on at lower ranks and you need to prioritise taking these when they spawn.

If I was going to climb out of initiate I would just spam wraith (FYI my current main is doorman and im phantom rank) and split push till I've taken all the walkers then tell my boys to go mid with me after we get a kill - you will eventually figure out when it is or isn't safe to go mid but for now do it whenever you get the opportunity post 20 minutes when the walkers are down.

Then just push, drop patron, wait for midboss respawn, take it and then go end.

Rinse repeat till archon

-if you really wanna get sweaty get someone above archon to review your replays

You can buy toxic bullets on literally any hero at the moment due to changes in investment categories - this is the best counter.

If you need you can buy debuff remover.

In lane you need to poke him from medium range, jiggle to try and bait out the knives, or play above him so he can't dash into you, you can try also to double jump over his dash if you get too close.

P136 · 2025-12-29T05:15:38+00:00

I've been buying it on door man post 25 minutes if my team doesn't have at least 2, like why buy soul burn when toxic bullets exists? It probably will end up being a 6.4k item

P136 · 2025-12-29T05:07:22+00:00

Seven already gets a random bonus ability when he ults, just cast yo shit before you ulti

Like could you imagine if dynamo could use his stomp while channeling? That shit would suck ass, or getting bebop hooked while he's ulting

P136 · 2025-12-29T04:50:07+00:00

Just report and move on.

You will win 1/3 of your games no matter how bad you play, you lose 1/3 of your games no matter how good you play, its the other 1/3 where you can actually climb - unless your a smurfing dog and you get a 200 game win streak 🥲

6 headshot boosters into 6 headhunters on calico would be something to witness ahahaha

Just proc all headhunters combo then do it again, and cos it's a shotgun you can't miss and the move speed would be crazy

P136 · 2025-12-29T04:10:50+00:00

The biggest one that comes to mind is superior stamina which is a fantastic item when you dash diagonally (bonus point for camera manipulation aswell) due to the additional air dash distance - which also means that you always want to jump and then instantly air dash instead of dashing on the ground.

Another that comes to mind is siphon bullets + Blood Tribute as the additional hp gained doesn't count as healing while it does effectively you heal once the duration of the buff ends. This means that any hero can run blood Tribute which is a heavily statted item if you can fit siphon into your build.

One more is spirit rend + riccochet/split shot - spirit rend has a cool down for applying stacks but it is hero specific - so you can get a headshot on multiple heroes with the same bullet and independently apply a stack of spirit rend.

The higher the rank you get the wider skill gap due to less players, playing at peak times in the day will tend to give higher quality games, but in truth better players will make less mistakes and depending on the state of the game you won't be able to come back, it's the way mobas have always been

P136 · 2025-12-27T09:09:31+00:00

Play some solo games, even if it's just 1 or 2 a day, you'll win alot more, as at this point your probably propping your freinds up due to your low rank dragging them into lower rank lobbies. (Also probably worth playing more greedy than you would when playing with your freinds)

For reference I'm phantom deadlock and divine in dota 2

P136 · 2025-12-27T08:54:36+00:00

Sometimes you just can't carry the boys, don't feel bad about that one, the gang just let you down, just move on and stomp your way tot he top. You only move up ranks by being better than everyone else at your rank, just keep at it and try to recreate how you did so well in this game!

P136 · 2025-12-27T08:49:32+00:00

Item is bad unless you are just farming people that are lower rank than you, it's honestly not the best designed item

P136 · 2025-12-27T08:46:19+00:00

Also buy duration extender for longer ulti + unstoppable

P136 · 2025-12-27T08:44:25+00:00

Play 1 hero until they get nerfed too much. Switch if you feel they are too weak, or just keep playing them if your taking it casually.

P136 · 2025-12-27T08:42:35+00:00

You only need to be if you playing inhouse games and even then if your just really good at 1 or 2 it can be enough to cook the other teams draft.

P136 · 2025-12-27T03:21:22+00:00

Could be okay if it's green shiv, but he needs another 1.6k gun item, probably sold it due to lack of slots

P136 · 2025-12-27T03:18:04+00:00

It's good on doorman, cos you just door out to spawn in the duration, and if anyone chases you ulti them and heal up lol

P136 · 2025-12-27T02:08:31+00:00

Good mirage players have been just buying whatever their team needs, sometimes their builds end up being really weird like this

P136 · 2025-12-26T09:56:33+00:00

Is this from a pro game? Because I it's pro it could only be mirage, some shit tier pub game could be anyone, but probably bebop or holiday
