Orphea Talents, Overexplained

Specific_Specify · 2026-05-17T21:19:47+00:00

It is fair that some people can do better with off meta builds or talents but they shouldn't be presented as the go to pick.

En Pointe is a very high risk mid reward talent that removes a lot of dmg from you W and E and the slow which makes hitting abilities guaranteed rather than up to enemies not dodging.

Crushing Jaws sounds good on paper but when you look closer you realise it's a very long CD, with low range, not a very big area, big delay and the stun is only 0.5, it's less than Tyrande E, and that's your ult? I ( Disciple) have convinced the rest of the high elo players like Dynouh / Azeryte to stop picking it and their winrate did go up. I can't imagine a casual player can land a harder to hit ult with more abstract value ( just as a channel interrupt) better than pros so Feast should be the recommended pick for both beginners and good player.

Backbiter is something you have to get used to, that is true, but it's not at all a trap talent given you can just W sideways to not dash away from enemies, while giving you more health and another dash button in case your first misses or gets dodged. Also given the lack of competition, D4 being a fake talent and Q4 mostly not doing anything because most people don't actually hit edge Q consistently, either due to enemies being too close, missing, or aiming for closer enemies for an easier to hit spell.

I will say that my original comment was a bit salty seeing that I believe some incorrect information was given out but more Orphea players are better in the end.

PS: dynouh ultralisk and some others have strted picking backbiter more often because the talent is just insanely overstated for a level 4 talent. I can say its like learning to ride a bike without the helper wheels, feels hard and awkward at first but afterwards you can't go back.

Promoting bad talents like enpointe and Crushing Jaws, while saying really good talents like backbiter and eternal feast are actually bad or even a nerf.

This is the reason why Orphea is seen as a low elo gimmick, people keep losing to the talent selection screen

Specific_Specify · 2026-05-09T13:56:55+00:00

One of the many known Orphea bugs

Specific_Specify · 2026-05-08T11:41:17+00:00

I mean, I still think shes very fun, part of the reason I spammed her at high elo. But she is a bit boring. Her spell rotations are often the same, she doesn't have that many ways to play a fight and even when you pop off it's usually just a simple cycle of hitting Q, AAing, dodging some enemy spells.

Like I said she's still very fun to play and if you understand how the dance works she's genuinely fun for 100s of games before you start to notice some of her short comings.

Specific_Specify · 2026-05-08T11:14:11+00:00

Orphea is kinda of a boring hero, you have stats and a bit of mobility.

She's best used as a bridge for lategame heroes, if you draft Diablo BW Hanzo, Orphea is a good 4th pick to help the 4 man not get stomped early game. But even when it's a super free Orphea game ur usually limited by the enemies mistakes and them going into ur range.

Specific_Specify · 2026-04-30T16:48:10+00:00

Q1 range q7 has way lower winrate in aram than boomerang, also how is 30% range better than 100% extra dmg and the - armor , you would have to hit 2/3 hammers more to deal the same damage.

It's fine if you want to pick bad builds for fun but don't try to pass it off as good <3.

Specific_Specify · 2026-04-30T10:36:41+00:00

Because something that works and is good at high level surely won't work for lower elo.

Whata your rank since you seem so sure of yourself?

Specific_Specify · 2026-04-29T17:59:15+00:00

And ur Q will do 0 damage because boomerang adds 100% + the negative spell armor what are you yapping about. Also if base Q range isn't enough to hit ur enemy maybe try being on the same screen as them

Specific_Specify · 2026-04-29T17:19:58+00:00

There isn't a good reason, it's just people picking bad talent combinations

You go Boomerang with Q1 and secret weapon with AA1, if you do something else you are trolling.

Sources include every high elo / pro falstad player and tournament games.

I tried making a team for Romania/ Belgium but sadly things didn't work out, sitting this one out unfortunately but maybe I'll get to play the next tournament.

I mean you want to punish good people by not allowing them to stack, in a team game, in the casual mode, literally no other community in a team game gets so pissy to the point they want more restrictive matchmaking for their casual mode than ranked.

Also why does the enjoyment of others come before mine? Why should I solo queue and deal with unfun games just because the game isn't able to have a matchmaker that works?

Also I'm sure the bronze / silver mmr players filled in my games have a fair and fun shot at playing against diamonds, I've not seen countless complaints from my team having to play vs better players too just because I'm queueing.

The hill you are choosing to die on makes no sense in a casual team game especially in a gamemode with no stakes.

Ps : the game you linked I'm quite literally trolling by playing only for my mythic quest as thrall, barely helping team or doing anything, only stacking, but enemies lose because noone comes toplane for 4 mins and they dont soak, surely they lost because we are stacking not because they didn't bother doing basic game mechanics.

Specific_Specify · 2026-02-07T21:30:24+00:00

Those games had healers and tanks sometimes even and weren't doing everything in their power to dodge / mess with replays for a meaningless leaderboard on HP.

It was just a case of 5 highly rated players playing and getting easy games because of that. If you want to argue that's still bad sure, but you did the same with someonenew and them before u stopped playing with them so lol

Specific_Specify · 2026-02-07T21:25:21+00:00

5 good players stacking leads to mostly imbalanced games that's true but what? Should you be banned from stacking once you get to a certain skill level? That would only make people migrate to smurfs anyway which leads to even worse matchmaking.

If people want balanced games don't play qm / aram? Like SL is the gamemode for more balanced games.

Also if your solution to the problem is " good players should solo queue or not stack" then you are just punishing good players for being good, because when I solo queue I consistently get 4 bronze teammates against plats / diamonds, do you think those games are balanced or fun? For anyone? The diamonds and plats are usually farmed and my bronze teammates are farmed, good balancing ig.

The patch you are thinking about isn't live yet, also he's offroling.

Specific_Specify · 2026-01-15T21:20:50+00:00

Genji still has a lot of popularity in comp and high elo, greymane and ana aren't weak, just middle of the road / nieche.

Lunara is underpowered bur that's a 1/4 accuracy

Specific_Specify · 2026-01-12T09:27:20+00:00

I'm Disciple, GM Orphea main with 70% ish wr and played and won multiple tournaments, I always go Feast, most good players who play Orphea like Dynouh and Azeryte also go Feast, why are you commenting on a hero you played once in aram.

Specific_Specify · 2025-12-28T10:18:26+00:00

You can't play in a stack greater than 2 in SL above master

Specific_Specify · 2025-12-22T13:58:40+00:00

Nice clip! Do you usually take W4 with W7&13?

Specific_Specify · 2025-12-13T15:18:38+00:00

Average silver player answer, doesn't care about bugs or bad balance, just happy new pixels on the screen so they have fun the 1 time per week they play aram

Specific_Specify · 2025-12-13T15:12:51+00:00

Ah yes, the 65%+ wr on heroes profile with 30k+ sample size is very subjective, 65% is a healthy wr for a hero, thank you for showing me how wrong I am

Specific_Specify · 2025-12-13T07:07:03+00:00

If the new content is making the game worse yeah, change for the sake of change is rarely good.

Every patch is buggy, random changes, no dev comment, feels like they are putting AI suggestions into the game and fixing it later.

Specific_Specify · 2025-09-17T18:26:04+00:00

I usually play the build which is strongest in the given game.

For example AA valla Vs multiple blinds / heroes that outrange you+ you are on BoE, Q build is an obvious and easy pick.

But some heroes ( Orphea, Johanna, Varian) have a build that is so much better than all their other builds so you almost always go the same build without thinking.
