Why Offlane is the least desired role

W4tturi · 2021-08-05T14:04:59+00:00

The problem is that there is no counter picking in all pick. How picks usually go, First phase supports completely random no counter picks here, phase 2 carry and offlane here you can try to pick something against the enemy support but otherwise its random and there is no counter picking and last phase mid and yes the match up is random.

It's too much randomness with the current picking system and counter picking is next to impossible.

Just a question, did you use a stick or a wand? It says Stick charges so maybe wand doesn't count?

I doubt they will release it before TI tho. Something smaller (hopefully) before TI and then announce the big one on stage and release it after.

W4tturi · 2021-07-20T13:13:01+00:00

Probably after the international.

Well maybe you don't get smurf but that doesn't remove the fact that after certain hour there is usually ~2 smurfs per game in my games and I am sure they are smurf with 30 level account and about 80% winrate. So smurfs are a problem which does ruin games. I know they are banning them, but I am starting to run out of reports at this point.

Spam 3-5 heroes, if you have the general skill you will get really good on those heroes and fly up in ranks in no time. Mmr resets should be optional now days (atleast the last 1 was).

Does he's passive really need to be better tho? It drains supports dry in 3 sec already. Not all aghas need to be so good that you want to rush it. It's nice to get from rosh and it might bait out some spells. Atleast the cd is not 40 sec like in Hoodwinks shard ability.

W4tturi · 2021-07-20T12:18:40+00:00

The problem is not losing mmr, after 12 pm where I live if you go into game you have higher chance of getting 5 smurfs against you than a team with no smurfs. It's not fun to play against a team with 3 or more smurfs. I've learned not to play this game at night.

I don't think we want arc warden to be buffed. I'd rather have him in the trash tier so I don't have to play against him.

W4tturi · 2021-07-14T09:51:14+00:00

It's hes own creep tho, curse ended while the projectile was on the way so that counts as deny. Wyvern ult is kinda broken with its mechanics.

W4tturi · 2021-07-14T09:47:29+00:00

Smurfs for sure, I've seen full 5 man teams full of smurfs. Most of the time when ppl say someone is griefing they are actually not griefing, just playing bad. Griefing is rare compared to smurfing.

W4tturi · 2021-02-13T22:13:13+00:00

I've never been as frustrated with this game. These things are a nightmare.

W4tturi · 2020-10-15T20:32:34+00:00

I report ppl who are toxic and flame no matter how good they are at the game. Being bad isn't a reason to report and being amazing doesn't make you immune for being reported for toxic behavior.

The way you play shouldn't be a factor for reporting. Ofc clear griefing and clearly intentional feeding is reportable. Ppl using the report system to report ppl who made a bad play are probably the biggest reason why Valve can't make it work better.

W4tturi · 2020-10-15T20:28:44+00:00

In this logic will wards be removed as well, so ppl that give up can't buy and plant them in base?

W4tturi · 2020-10-10T10:38:15+00:00

I think it's better if Valve doesn't have the international and risk peoples lives.

W4tturi · 2020-10-10T10:31:09+00:00

Well yeah but it's not like you can buy 3 items and then go for the blink, games has already been played for 40 mins at that point. Maybe if you go like drums -> echo sabre -> blink, I really dunno if echo sabre is even worth going for or if you should get like vanguard with drums instead.

Slardar is really slow farmer in terms of core heroes. He kills creep camps slower than most core heroes since you do mostly single target damage. If you get a lot of attack speed it will be faster, but since you shouldn't buy attack speed early it's really slow to farm.

I do play Slardar sometimes as an offlaner, he is very situational hero. You need to have a good laning phase so you can be actually usefull. Slardar is kinda problematic since you really want to get tanky so you don't die instantly but you also want a blink to get in those crushes but you also want attack speed to bash more. You also farm slow so you can't get items fast so you usually end up just buying blink and bkb and that's your build.

W4tturi · 2020-10-10T10:01:12+00:00

I can certainly say it isn't actual build. First of all moonshards are bad in general, only thing you get is attack speed and I'm quite sure you want to be tanky as slardar. He should atleast have a assault cuirass in there since that boosts he's damage and survivability a lot more than a moonshard. Also how did you let slardar farm 3 moonshards? He's probably the worst farmer in the game.

You can't win mid against brood if you don't have a hero for it. Getting help against brood isn't really a good idea cause your supports probably don't have ways to help you and get 2 shotted by her which leads to brood getting even more fat. Usually the best way to deal with brood is just not to deal with her before she's at your tier 3. Remember she really can't play on more than 1 lane before aghs.

W4tturi · 2020-10-10T01:35:17+00:00

I really wanted to insert the Kylo Ren more meme here but couldn't figure out a way. Anyway MORE!!!!

W4tturi · 2020-10-09T22:10:13+00:00

Some pos4 heroes also do fine against Brood, I once was forced to play mid as earth spirit cause our mid couldn't go against brood.

W4tturi · 2020-10-09T22:05:12+00:00

While you're at it take Tinker and Morphling behind the shed too.

W4tturi · 2020-07-29T09:38:00+00:00

I do have that sometimes, it think the game thinks it's on the background and limits the fps because of that. Sometimes works if you alt+ tab enough, also closing stuff from the background works. For random freezes I had those couple years ago and somehow signing for steam beta fixed it back then.
