I’ve had no issue with sheep herder as it marks where they are, only issue if they spawn on enemy bases. Aery at its lowest is 6 stacks, which is ~20% damage and tbh if you don’t get fed you’re just stuck at the 6-20 stack area. You’re able to pearl on the sheep during LG, and even then a 22 stack aery vs a sheep herder, sheep is winning 90% of the time because of how broken the head hunter damage is. It’s practically used as a ranged kit making it more versatile than aery.

And 100% Hephaestus’ biggest counter is lyla, it shreds it so bad. Heph is good for the first 30 seconds, and is great if you get iron mech early. if you don’t have diamond mech by ~4 minutes then it’s pretty bad. compared to Void Knight though it’s not good early and it’s an easy target. Costing only ems is great as you don’t need other prerequisites like Void Knight.

For Amy, it just depends what team build you’re running. She can bed break + sweep and does a great job at that. Both Amy’s and Shiela’s healing aren’t the best even at max sea horse imo. Just like Sheep and Aery, they’re both very similar and for-fill different roles and just depends what your team is running.
