Yup, another example is pet heroes like Chen have been very strong in the recent meta but I never see them in my games cause none of us at Guardian tier can macro pet heroes.

ET is a lot of fun in lane with lots of kill potential when paired with the right carry or off laner. Just walk your spirit through the closest jungle camp to your lane, then through the creep wave before calling it back, then just right click the nearest enemy without feeding. And use the bonus damage to deny creeps.

Hes probably the easiest of any of the heroes that require any micro.


I've been on meepo for my ahc for like 6 years at this point without even attempting him once. gently caress that.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
Meepo has a lower skill floor than people think and if you enjoy any illusion carries you should give him a shot. A lot of the actual micro just boils down to “mash tab and W and then tab and Q” or “shift attack move groups of meepos through safe jungle camps.” You can do both of these fairly ungracefully and still dominate because it turns out having like 6 roots and a bunch of burst damage is really good.

The hardest part about playing meepo is just matchups because there’s a lot of stuff that is super unfun to play against and people really love counterpicking meepo.

Wow Hoodwink looks like she fell out of a different game huh

Not nearly as bad as Marci. Hoodwinks animal face blends in amongst all the other weird faced dudes on the character select screen. But Marci looks straight up like someone moded her in on a custom map.

I always wonder if Marci was recycled by an anime studio because reusing assets is cheaper and valve just forced her in the game cause a business person said so...

they realized they can sell more hats when the heros are either furry bait or waifu bait. It is only a matter of time before we go full league and have fake Twitter accounts for new heros where they post about how sad they are but how happy it would make them if you buy their hats

The dota anime was more or less funded by one light bendingly rich guy. And Marci is basically his pet original character. Her inclusion is basically mandatory.

Shame about the extremely League kit.

Marci being someone's OC makes sense and its kinda funny. I'll probably never pick her though.

Also Valve let me buy the Skeleton King arcana, I'll pay any amount of money, just give me back my bone king.

After the wild success of a line of skins that turned some champs into Kpop idols, riot decided the next champ would be a new band member. So they had someone role-playing as her on twitter and instagram. Posting pictures of food, her music career and hastag relatable posts about anxiety, depression and imposter syndrome.

All this weeks before we had seen anything of the actual in game champ. By far the most embarrassing character release they have ever done.

Please don't believe that Russian roleplayer's lies. He's not a saudi prince and didn't fund the dota anime lol.

I'm not sure how OP was able to do this.



Cast Orb
Double tap TP
Shift-Queue the "Grab Items" function
Shift-Queue Jaunt

I successfully TP & Jaunt, but my items remain in the stash lol. Maybe I'm just not mashing the TP fast enough resulting in too short of a period for when I'm in the fountain to take the items? :shrug:
