Off-meta Ideas to Try in Pubs – DOTABUFF

The holidays are approaching and it is time for celebration, joy and some heavy experiences. No one in your pubs will take Dota seriously for a while, so why should you? Today we’ll leave you with some crazy thoughts on some of the lesser-known champions in the current meta and how to make them work well enough so they don’t end up on everyone’s naughty list.

There’s a reason why this hero is incredibly unpopular in both the pub and professional scene. While it is a definitive answer against champions like puzzleHis lane phase and lack of identity make him a questionable choice most of the time. Well, with our secret technology, Silencer shouldn’t be the laughing stock of the support group, at least we hope he won’t.

since then The last word Reworking, making it a halo, I was trying to find a mix of heroes to really make it shine. In theory, it’s a very powerful ability, but it requires a setup from multiple heroes to make it work. Or so I thought, until I saw this:

Earth spirit‘s magnetize Applying separate states of silence to multiple targets that then spread to all other magnetized targets results in up to six different states of silence on each target. Or 360 damage per second for 3.5 seconds from max The last word Aura without talent.

This is a very unrealistic scenario, and most of the time you will capture at most two targets in one silence, but as long as multiple heroes are magnetized, the damage will continue to come in, and that’s without taking into account silence periods on your part. silencer same. Under the right circumstances, it should be easy to win any fight before the 20th minute, or before Black King Bar To be more specific.

Once BKBs get short and once Silencer gets his talent at level 20, this combo will become even nastier, with almost unlimited damage potential that remains relevant even against more powerful targets.

Furthermore, stealing Intelligence can really hurt some less intelligent heroes and cut into a limited pool of mana, while also reducing their magic resistance. We feel that when played well, this can boost the muffler tremendously and make its transition from 4th to actual center easy and direct. Maybe not the best strategy for the professional scene, but it is incredibly powerful in open pub games. As long as you can find a decent one Earth spirit player.

We’ve seen lamb Earth wastingHe carries Small in size And endure Magnus Be popular and successful in ESL One Bangkok, why not download it King of sand? A world champion with high blitz farming potential and an incredible amount of late-game damage should not be underestimated. There are much worse options when your team needs a dizzying tempo.

What should be noted is that Stinger Attacks, regardless of their origin, will apply effects and produce different items. This means that it is between possibilities Scepter of sheep practical, Aghanim fragment practical, Stinger Use and right clicks, you should be almost unkillable using any source of lifesteal. Furthermore, you will continue to deal combo damage even when you are stunned, as long as you start out well.

skip A dagger flashed Focusing on theme elements is definitely the right way to go. In some matches he plays with A Slayer of witches It is also recommended, because it can greatly improve your and your team’s survivability: Keep in mind that you are applying the Mage Slayer buff through random Stingers while casting EpicenterOnce you have purchased your Alghanim songs.

Sure, getting the life items and critical hits is worth it too, but the main selling point of this type of carry is flexibility. He can adapt to any conditions and be effective in any role, be it an armored frontline, or a damage-dealing half-glass cannon.

This isn’t new, but there are some professional players currently experimenting with power side shaping. the flow The face is certainly interesting, but so far we haven’t seen it played out this much. This does not mean that it is unusable.

with Octarine Cor Dash and when at almost full agility, this Morphling can get a cooldown reduction of up to 70% when Modulation To another hero. Furthermore, the stats of the hero you transform into don’t matter, so even if you gain full agility, depending on the target you transform into, you will gain the benefits of CDR.

Some of the fun parts include a 24-second cooldown grave-stone from [hero-undying]with ~2 sec corruption. or agent‘s Firestorm It has about 150% uptime, which means you’ll have multiples of those on the battlefield. Or even something basic like Zeus Lightning bolt Every few seconds.

There’s a lot of room to theoretically draft this type of Morphling and there are many roles he can fill: depending on the enemy’s lineup, he can become a very annoying crowd control hero, or a complete nuke with insane magic damage output. All without losing access to his 1.5 second stun from Adaptive Strike which has a cooldown of around 4 seconds.

Of course, this post is a little on the silly side. We don’t think it’s a good idea to play ranked using any of these strategies, at least not without testing them in the non-ranked game first. However, the beauty of Dota is – although it is exceptionally competitive, there is a lot of scope for creativity and fun.

So while we wait for the next major patch and wrap up the Crownfall playthrough, let’s have some silly fun – this is what Dota can be. Share your silly or unwanted strategies in the comments section below – we’re in the mood to destroy some pubs.
