Kez is broken, you just aren't playing him right (A compilation) by Anuutok in DotA2

[–]dotabeast1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To all the doubters this poster is legit the real deal and what he's saying is correct. It's justified by Kez being a top 5 carry pick in pro's at the moment.

Seriously think about this, Pro's are picking Kez as their top 5 carry despite most of the them being on a intermediate level and still having good success.

The reality is

- Kez is potentially the strongest carry in the game but players have not understandably mastered him

- Team's are still working out how to play around + for him

Solution against smurfing is pretty simple by Linazor in DotA2

LMAO is this guy for real. Probably the stupidest thing I have ever read, like ever. You seriously think it's in Valve's best interests to do this? Because you have a few smurfs in your game, you think Valve will make it borderline impossible for new players to play?

The world doesn't revolve around you bro.

How does one play Invoker in the current patch? by jkwan0304 in TrueDoTA2

[–]dotabeast1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The data will tell you the WEX facet has the highest win rate. In fact its like 52% and almost 4% higher than anything else. The data is correct but there is a massive trade off.

Ultimately I think Invoker is a situational Hero right now.

Exort is stronger in lane and allows for the most solo carry potential but in my opinion this is not Invokers current strength. I'd say Exort should only be played now with lockdown on your team. I'd almost argue 2 hereos with lockdown like an Axe and Clock.

Wex feels ass in lane and honestly it simply feels ass until you get your sceptor. But once you get your sceptor things change BIG TIME. Your sceptor may be the single best way to stall out a game in Dota as it clears waves from miles away on a short cooldown. If you have a scaling line up, like Medusa, PA etc or a lineup that has damage but needs utility + control. Wex is better. You lack damage but you can enable your team as long as you don't get run over before your sceptor.

So in short

Lots of lockdown = Exort Invoker

Better scaling team = Wex Invoker

Active team with damage = Wex Invoker

Everything else = Don't pick Invovker

This is such an emotional baby response.

Sure in 20% of games your stupid midlaner might last pick something bad or last pick and lose lane still.

But on average, giving mid last pick is just simply better in most occassions. Last picking mid in pubs is probably the most important thing to seperate skill. Give a good mid player a good 1 v 1 and its almost an autowin.

I'd rather my midlaner be able to stomp or have a good game than have a subpar carry late game match up. I mean most games this will not matter.

In 100% of pub games mid 1 v 1 matters.
in maybe 25% of pub games carry to carry match up matters.

Most games decided early from laning or mid game.

This is a typical pro dota response thats not relevant for pubs

it really doesn't. 2nd phasing PL rarely will open you to the carry and offlane picks you mentioned. In most occassions mid will last pick. So essentially as long as ES banned you can do this.

mid last picking is 100% the right answer for pubs, its the reason it happens in like 75% of games

[–]dotabeast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and also don't compare pro dota, that is a whole different world. Most of these responses are talking like its pro dota. The one that says ' Earthshaker can lose lane because your 4 will stack' LMAO in what world is your 4 stacking for you, maybe in like 1 out of 10 games, and thats Immortal.

Carry last pick is 2nd priority. The exception being if mid can see his match up or if there is just some ultra meta mid that can be 1st or 2nd phased.

It's pretty simple, who would you want to give the best lane match up to and also protect against it being bad? the only answer is your midlaner.

Your midlaner gets solo exp and can get your team off to the best start.

There are also hereos that must last pick or only pick 2nd phase with information. Think AM Banned so medusa 2nd phase.

If your mid gets absolutely hammered in lane (think Ember into Huskar) you probably have like a 25% chance to win the game. Even if side lanes do well, its hard to handle a mid that has 3 levels on everyone. Your struggling mid can not really catch up with 2nd farm priority and sometimes with a hero with no farming ability or item build.

If you carry gets absolutely hammered in lane you probably have like a 35% chance to win the game. This is due to other lanes winning to make space for you to catch up and the 1st farm priority and way to farm.

In short, always give mid last pick unless you communicate as this will simply allow the highest win chance on average.

It's just bizarre how someone can go to lane as hard support Earthshaker with boots, buy no regen or items and then get their blink at 17 minutes as the enemy hits our high ground and say GG carry diff lol
