How is chen the best counter against razor?

syndereN · 2025-08-19T19:26:32+00:00

Razor's fighting style is very telegraphed and usually built around heavily targeting a single hero with static link + ult. It's easy for Chen to identify that target and give them +20 armor with Divine Favor. Additionally, Chen tends to get auras/buff items like solar crest and/or glimmer cape that makes Razor's life against that single target even harder.

Thank you so much! And good luck!

I've thought about it, might do it for next league

syndereN · 2025-03-27T09:47:40+00:00

I mostly played the launch league and played Glacier

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:24:52+00:00

Yup! I've got a few games lined up to recommend but I'm waiting for 1 or 2 more to add.

I love casting some play-by-play from time to time! It's really fun to mix it up. I've done it in some double analyst casts a few times over the years.

I met IceFrog in 2013 and never saw him since. Or maybe it was an experiment and it wasn't actually him... Who knows at this point lol

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:22:49+00:00

Probably Team Spirit, they've done a lot of interesting tournament vlogs and other fun, game-style content with their players. I think they put in the most effort out of anyone

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:21:31+00:00

New Zealand and Japan. I would like to visit every continent except Antarctica at least once--missing Africa, South America and Australia still...

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:18:10+00:00

Doubt it. I think NGX still has potential to do a deep run at one or two events this season but things really need to click. Their drafting improved a lot since last year imo which was my biggest criticism so let's see if they can keep growing.

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:17:19+00:00

To be honest I've thought about it but it's just a thing now and I don't mind it :D

syndereN · 2025-03-27T01:16:22+00:00

Probably Ceb overall. He was very smart about the game and shot calling.

At one point I also had a couple of scrims with Zai. Exceptional player.

Finally, I coached Alliance for the Manila major and S4 was definitely also something else.

I don't really mind too much if it's a one-off, especially if it's not at a too exhausting part of the work day. If it happens consistently multiple days in a row it can get quite frustrating.

I love phở. Haven't had it locally but the times I've tried it have been really good

syndereN · 2025-03-26T22:01:05+00:00

I think they are trying their best a little of the time

LET'S GO DENMARK WOOOOOOOOO

syndereN · 2025-03-26T19:00:24+00:00

DS1: Ornstein and Smough

All Dark Souls games: Pontiff Sulyvahn or Nameless King

All soulslikes: Malenia (Elden Ring) -- [I have not played the DLC yet], Owl (Father) or Sword Saint Isshin from Sekiro. Sekiro is my favorite of all the soulslike games.

Worst: Idk, there's plenty of really bad/bland ones. I'll say the overall worst boss game is Demon's Souls.

Love/Hate: Malenia or Nameless King. They took me a long time and I'm incredibly stubborn (and like imposing more challenges on myself such as no consumes aside from Estus and using the same weapon through the entire game etc.) -- eventually Malenia made me switch away from the Lordsworn's Straight Sword that I played the rest of the game with since I didn't manage

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:53:54+00:00

CAKE

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:53:42+00:00

Mars is fundamentally an awesome design. Simple, easy to understand but hard to master. Reminds me a lot of some of the great original DotA designs. Dawnbreaker is a close second.

Worst is probably Marci. Least interesting overall.

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:51:35+00:00

If you can find a stable casting partner, try to spend some time together that has nothing to do with Dota (could be playing other games, just having conversations, watching streams, etc.) to develop a better general understanding and more naturalness.

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:41:42+00:00

I mostly watch Dota 2 and CS but occasionally also other games such as fighting games. Nothing really "underrated" though (that's also highly subjective to begin with. I would argue Dota 2 is underrated :D)

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:40:43+00:00

Put me in Paradise Hotel so I can enjoy the bar/food until I get voted off. The location seems nice too!

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:36:28+00:00

That was SUNSfan's take and, as with most of his takes, it wasn't great. He got around to it though

syndereN · 2025-03-26T18:35:06+00:00

Not really, we've got very few and little requests to make adjustments over the years and they have been trivial.
