I think we should also incorporate Shadowfiend as a mid/core/carry component. A few of us play him so there are some alternatives there we can utilise. Plus is a good mid late game carry.
ReplyDeleteI'll aslo try and practice Sven/earthshaker a bit more in the fun games. I'm starting to do ok with them (mainly practiced Sven) and won the last few but still a bit hit and miss. Defo need to practice Earthshaker. I think if we have a few people to play Earthshaker as he has such great crowd control and early game gank potential he's great to have in pubs and ranked.
I agree. Can you add by editing the post above? Think of a good team to build around shadow fiend. One thing I know is that if shadow fiend gets behind it is hard to dig out of it.
ReplyDeleteSven and Earthshaker are excellent additions to our arsenal. Earthshaker is an excellent low farm high impact support through the entire game. Echo slam is awesome late game.
Last night I played two solo matches. The first had a slark go mid (I was dubious) and he ended up with 37-3 against a team with very decent players (300+ wins each and good team composition). The second I played an all random match where I got lifestealer and farmed my way into being a monster! Not sure how he would go against strong teams though.
I definitely want to watch a replay of the slark match to see how he did it.
