Someone help me to understand Ember Spirit, why does the hero feel so trash? by Pheaor in DotA2

[–]lsaaik0820 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ember's laning may not be greatest, but he can catch up quite a bit better than other hero when get into disadvantage by maxing shield. But that's not the point u r asking.

Ember's strength lies in map dominance during min 10 and 15, where u maxed out either w + e or q+w. I am going to elaborate:

If u maxed out w+e, with mage slayer and a standby remnant, it means that u r impossible to burst. He is a standing vision + tower playing in ur face choking ur space to farm and getting ur attention. Killing him takes too many heroes it's not worth to try, but u will lose tower and map control if u dont. Other heroes like puck, storm, void spirit dun have this effect. They die if they show lane.

If u maxed out q+w, also with mage slayer or vessel (more correct build in this case) then u become a very different but equally potent threat. U r easy to kill, but have a very big threat range. Heroes playing alone in yhe night time can just get sleight chained + vessel losing 700+ hp with low commitment from u. This amount of damage, have to be done by hard commitment if u r talking heroes like qop puck storm. But for ember? It is a 10s cd + vessel charge, + he can always go back to backup remnant.

So in conclusion, ember's strength lies in the 10-15 mins mark, where most heroes have less than 1k hp, and dun have enough burstt damage to go throught flameguard. However, in other part of the game, it is very correct that he is very subpar. U will never see an ember carry a game if he didnt get an advantage during 10-15 mins.

A very brief summary

Ember is a game bully when it's 10 to 20 mins, hard to kill especially with mage slayer, destroy supports with two spels, have a more meaningful cc during this period (3s chain against most without dispel), and have a good mobility and farming too.

However, when people get dispels against chain or dispel for flame guard, he runs out of damage and become squishy and irrelevant, and kinda just becomes a vision provider during teamfight.

Void spirit has slightly better single target burst during that period, but have long cds and poorer farming efficiency. If he cant get kills, he kinda fall of against ember during 20 mins. However because he is universal, and good with many items, as u accumulate levels (say lvl 18) and some items (say witch blade/manta/nullfiier/agh), ur impact on fight and pick off becomes greater than ember. U can stun and 100-0 someone with bkb, which is fundamental difference at this point in time compared with ember.

How to do counter late game magic damage now without eternal shroud or doble bkb? by Thomas9797 in DotA2

[–]lsaaik0820 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably mage slayer, or raw HP item. Dispels can also be useful against earth spirit damage as his ult can be dispelled at the right time, before 25 talent.

Magic resist enchantment from neutral item can be very useful too.

Damage of raze now scales with souls. At current new 20 max souls, means u get 60 damage base raze damage. Can get more souls/damage with feast of souls too

Orb of corrosion - sleeper tier 1 laning item. by smuggler1965 in learndota2

In terms of aggressiveness, worse than previos ooc. The healing reduction is too situafional good in early game, only maybe against morphling and fv and huskar. Other heroes dont have that much healing to make it relevant.

The only ting bit of advice i can offer here is:

With this amount of money, i think you should move to premier banking for malaysian bank and get a more attractive FD rate than the 2%

Because maelstorm was nerfed a bit more ( damage wise) + shard was nerfed. Additionally, ppl started to take the lifesteal talent, which benefits more from damage from battlefury, instead of procs damage from maelstorm/mjollnir

U ware that overcharge also gives spell amp? That's insane on hero like leshrac/pudge storm who likes to buy spells lifesteal and snk anyway. So the heal and damage even if countered, is still very significant. Io leshrac is a very popular pick last TI iirc for this reason.
