6.84 --> Which heroes are going to dominate? in General Discussion
Crudude

    Obviously sniper and troll dominated 6.83, so I want to know who you think will dominate 6.84?

    I think bristleback/Natures Prophet/Leshrac/OD/Zeus

    Pilot

      Enchantress is one of my bets. (for the pro scene)

      I am pretty excited for supports for this patch. There are a lot of buffs to the role in general.

      TripleSteal-

        Spectre, Naga Siren, Lone Druid, and (I believe!) Timbersaw.

          i think the point of this patch is to have a lot of possible combinaisons, no real domination

          bb definitely not, same for furion

          i think lesh/od/morf/naga will rape
          ench will rape yea, depends of how the meta turns in practical

          bear looks cool but its actually still just a bear, he didnt get real buffs exept agha

          i hope ppl will stop pick agilities hero, and go full int, full teamfight/gank, i dont wanna see boring fucking right clickers anymore.

            Lina, she doesnt get nerfed.

            TripleSteal-

              ^she did. laguna range is rather important, but crucial point is new eul's mana cost.

              kvasius # KSVM

                Oh. Mised that part. But in most cases she isnt as nerfed as trololo/sniper/stormerino.

                  tbh she's less digusting than troll/sniper, so I like it this way.

                  Dire Wolf

                    Ints and supports in general over farming carries.

                    Lyra

                      Timberwolf

                      Why?

                        DP will definitely make a comeback getting healed during her ultimate too with the new item, and tower armour got nerfed so she can melt them faster.

                        KOTL should be a top-tier support with the cooldown reduction on chakra. For example if wraith king throws his stun and gets chakrad, he only needs 2s after the stun duration to cast it again (that stun also slows for 2s after the stun too, so it's easy to get a double).

                          I was thinking about how they nerfed Juggernaut, then i thought about Centaur's " Stampede" Ultimate reducing 70% of all incoming damage, if it's a global ult, Centaur can just pop that and greatly reduce Jugg's damage. His will probably do no damage if the team is bunched up together and Centaur uses it, am i wrong? I think Lina will dominate, she didn't get any nerfs besides the Laguna Blade Ags' range nerf, which honestly doesn't really effect her much at all, a few enemies might barely get away cause they're aren't in range, but that's the same for all point target abilities involving a beam, Dagon as well.

                                  LD Aghs is overrated. He is still good because of pushing buff though. Also Pugna is gonna be good with the rise of magic damage and pushing at the same time.

                                    slark with the upgraded shadowblade item.

                                    will be awful.

                                        It is more about the 20% AoE-EHP increase on the already very strong Radiance on Sylla

                                        Soul

                                          i hope LD comes back, looks well set up. Early radiances will be great. Alchemist is going to be used a ton early but then will sort out to where ever he belongs. i think he will be a low top tier, high mid tier hero.

                                            @Sam:
                                            Think about it, a bear that can use BoT, has basicially 2 lives, can splitpush like a tiny, which also has an escape and a very high movement speed. I do think Aghs is pretty powerful on LD and worth it. I can defintely see a lot more LD coming.

                                              Cus they nerfed quelling blade, ability to solo rosh, stout shield, creep gold. They buffed hero kill gold. They freed up inventory slots for supports. The 25% spell cooldown reduction should help a lot of int heroes out.

                                                    Guardian greaves is a tad expensive for a support but it combines mek and arcane boots. So you can potentially carry a tp, boots, mek, observer and sentry wards in 3 slots. Plenty of room for a wand or bassy you keep all game or urn or whatever.

                                                      u cant be more wrong about ur heroes.
                                                      wk oracle ursa are basically bad, compared to others, nothing changed here.

                                                      and if u think weaver is gonna be picked cuz of agha, again u cant be more wrong.
                                                      the only way to me profitable would be to play weaver support. and that'd be good, only there are others supports in the game way better, so no one will do it.
                                                      bear is still just a bear, u have to farm 5k gold to be able to farm without ur daddy, which will leave you way behind, not like bear flash farm.

                                                      wk :> nc, alrdy expressed his aghs on another thread.

                                                      ench and cent are the only ones that are good in ur list.

                                                      anything shorter

                                                        In my personal opinion being able to ignore Terrain gives a team probably imbalanced ganking and disengaging material. Out of all the Agh Upgrades, it would have to be Cent's that made me the most excited. I mean, now he has a valid item to go after the whole tranq-blink-pipe/blade-heart. Now sure yet where it sits in terms of priority, but I feel like it could easily replace Pipe due to the 70% reduction.

                                                        Filthy

                                                          Have team stampede into rosh pit off cliff while other team roshing gang buster style

                                                            i really don't think oracle will be bad with constant debuff removal on ulti.

                                                            Frankly, I think it is to early to completely write off hero buffs.

                                                              I don't think heroes will dominate, I think finally each hero that is extreme will have 1-2 items to counter it and a handful of heroes to desolate it.

                                                              I really think that for the first few weeks things are gonna be filthy, average out, then filthy again. Putting my money on slark being the bringer of filth on both occasions. Also guardians and oct core will definately make bristle possibly the best hero in the game. If on 4 heroes bristle gains the same amount of damage he deals as health and then more back if he is hit from behind?

I would only buy it after my bear is 6 slotted because until then it can't really split push that well anyway.

                                                                                          And the qb with fury is a buff to him

                                                                                          TripleSteal-

                                                                                              I honestly feel like Zeus will be one of the most picked heroes. He already has a presence at all levels of play and if anything he should be stronger.

                                                                                              Hero I truly fear the most based on the patch is good OD players.

                                                                                              гриндр

                                                                                                ^Why? OD is not even that great now. Did u try Octarine on him ? FYI lifesteal sucks (only good if u ulti), scepter is meh if u don't have refresher (& refresher was nerfed). Only good buff for him is probably Octarine lowering significantly cd on his ultimate. I don't think hero is strong, he is just not total shit as before.

                                                                                                The best heroes will be Nightstalker, Slark, Centaur, Nature Prophet, Tinker, AM, Lina, QoP, TA, Zeus. Also Tony if u have slave Alchemist rushing u aghs. The most imba heroes of the patch for sure are Oracle & Centaur.

                                                                                                  I'm just going off back when OD was picked more it was a frustrating hero to face or gank.

                                                                                                  Nothing I've seen in this patch looks like anything but a positive to him. So that's where I got that opinion. I tried to get on test but all servers were showing a 500+ ping.

                                                                                                  MILNOR

                                                                                                    I have this feeling ck is going to get some work done this patch

                                                                                                    Relentless

                                                                                                      I think Lone Druid is going to be the biggest late-game carry of 6.84. The ability to truly split push with a 6th hero trumps everything else. At least with meepo if you kill one they all die. Now LD or the bear can be ganked and the other one keeps going.

                                                                                                      A core hero would have to be sent to stop the bear, and you can't even really stop it unless you kill it. Meanwhile you are down 4 v 5 in the other fight, and the bear could easily join that fight making it 4 v 6 even if you succeed in killing the bear in the other lane.

                                                                                                      But with that exception - I think INT heroes will dominate in general. Glimmer cloak is going to make map vision extremely unreliable, so ganking heroes with disables and burst damage will win the games. Support can tp in... but that takes at minimum 3 seconds. Heroes will die before they can be saved if support is not standing with them at all times.

                                                                                                      Este comentário foi editado
