| Posted: 16 May 2017 04:20 PM PDT With his strong buffs and item changes, I think he's a fairly viable mid now. I haven't had terribly much of a chance to test if yet, but I plan to grind some games with him over the coming weeks. In the meantime, here's why I think he potentially fits now: The new mid changes fit him pretty well. He has the aoe to push out the wave, and he can take a tower quickly if the enemy mid ever leaves. He also greatly benefits from the deny change: decrepify is a great laning tool that also offers great harass against low range or melee enemies. The extra mid creep also helps him level faster, to get to his key health talent that greatly shores up his fragility. It's also notable that pugnas pushing power is not hurt by the tower armor increase. As for the skill build, I think maxing ward early is a mistake. Ward doesn't gain much from extra levels, it just improved the mana drain (negligible) and the damage increases by 75%. Meanwhile, decrepify scales greatly with levels, improving the damage, slow, and CD. So at the moment, I believe it is most efficient to max blast first and decrepify second, only getting a single point of ward when you expect to be pushing with team (You might be able to get away with only doing this at level 11 with increased exp). Lifedrain when possible, and always prioritize talents over skills. Talents Level 10: I think the HP is overall better. Mana regen improved your early farm quite a bit, but you shouldn't be hurting for mana regen with the new aether. Level 15: You could go either way here. Decrepify is probably better if you're going for an aghs build. I don't see any clear winner though. Level 20: Unless you're against some drastically high mana cost enemies, I think the range is much better. The ability to blast buildings from far away is pretty important. Level 25: The blast damage pushes your nuke into the 500+ range. I think this is overall better, but if you're extremely farmed then I see a case for the life drain. Items Pugna is reasonably flexible when it comes to items, but there are two key items I think he should buy every game: veil and aether. A target affected by veil and decrepify takes 487 damage from blast, and with aether it's pushed to 517. Keep in mind this is after standard reductions. Compare to finger of death, which is 450. Pugna can utilize this insane burst to push towers, threatening to obliterate anyone who dares walk within range. And with aether, that range is quite large. Items after that are pretty flexible. Viable items include aghs, bkb, blink, dagon, Shivas, linkens, hex, force, and probably more that I forgot. He may be a little less reliant on aghs than before since his life drain is much more reliable, and his items might open up as a result. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 May 2017 12:55 PM PDT I like playing both the heroes mentioned above, but how are they changed in 7.06? I know the 800 hp buff LUL [link] [comments]  |
| How do you use Brew's Split to it's full potential? Posted: 16 May 2017 01:18 PM PDT I really enjoy playing brewmaster but I always feel like I'm very bad at using his ult. I'm generally not very sure who to target with what panda or if I'm just supposed to send all of them on one and who the best targets for my skills are. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any statistics on the relationship between LC's Duel Wins and winrate? Posted: 16 May 2017 06:13 AM PDT My friend and I had different approaches to playing LC. For me, winning duels is the primary part of my game plan. I only duel when I know I am going to win it (with or without help). I am less likely to duel if i know that the target is going to die only after the duel. My friend thinks its better to be liberal with duels as long as it locks down a crucial target first. not trying to prove anyone entirely wrong, just wondering what does the statistics on this imply.

| Quick question: Is the 30% deny xp shared or only to the person who gets the deny? Posted: 16 May 2017 10:13 AM PDT |
| What can I do against a Bloodseeker Posted: 16 May 2017 08:29 AM PDT I'm a generally new player, coming from League with 1800 hours and now about 100 hours on Dota 2, but I have no idea what to do against Bloodseeker. It seems most games I play against his Rupture+Ritual combo is near impossible to dodge. I have built Black King Bar against him but most go Agahims for the pure damage. I'm confused on what to do against this, any help? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it a bad idea to play Random Draft in ranked? Posted: 16 May 2017 01:52 PM PDT I don't really like seeing the same heroes over and over in All Pick. At the same time, I'd like my team at least trying to win. Random Draft in ranked seems perfect for this. Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? [link] [comments]  |
| Incoming self promoting post, delete if against rules Posted: 16 May 2017 07:28 PM PDT Hey guys, I'm a 3.8k offlaner, I play every role but I specialize in offlane, and if any of you guys want to log in while I'm streaming and ask questions or critique my play or anything please do so, I will try my best to communicate with chat the whole time. I'll be on a twitch.tv/arc_tan maybe some of the higher mmr streamers don't answer questions you like, or you want to see how someone in a different bracket plays, I don't know! But i'll be there every so often, so follow me and if I'm streaming tune in and say hi! Thanks guys, I'm a big fan of the community. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 May 2017 11:44 AM PDT Hey everyone. I was wanting to play some Invoker tonight (unranked :P) and am curious about playing him with the new changes. Is Q/E the best choice with shrine/deny changes and what about starting items? How viable is bracer into Rod of Atos? [link] [comments]  |
| [Question] Battlepass Quest - Damage while using Glimmer Cape Posted: 16 May 2017 07:13 PM PDT Hi, I would like to find out whether for the Battlepass Quest - The one which requires you to deal damage while using Glimmer Cape, is it possible to use other heroes other than CM or Enigma? E.g. Can QoP be used? Use glimmer and then casting her spells? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 May 2017 04:50 AM PDT With the recent changes to the hero and several items, I was wondering what's the new build for Drow Ranger now? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Can Legion be played as a support? Posted: 16 May 2017 12:54 PM PDT /u/CptnSAUS mentioned in another thread:
This is exactly why Legion has always seemed, to me, a great support. It's probably the best purge in the game. Her ult is good lockdown for your carries to kill someone, which ends up giving you damage too as a nice bonus. Admittedly, Overwhelming Odds and Moment of courage aren't really anything that can help the team, other than the illusion clear of OO. But is it possible to run her as a support, maybe, maybe not?

| For the love of <insert deity> Posted: 16 May 2017 02:38 PM PDT I've been playing Dota 2 for around 60hrs now and I'm level 17. I can do the basics but I'm not a gamer as such and have just bought the season pass to up my amusement. I've noticed that since I've bought the pass I've hardly won a game. Now prior to this I did ok, probably a win-loss-win-loss ratio, now I've lost ~17 and won ~2. Does something drastically change with passes? Also, one of the things to beat is 'Purge using Manta Style'. What the hell does that even mean? It's a mirror image item isn't it? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Seriously, how to play the new techies ? Posted: 16 May 2017 02:36 PM PDT I really got frustrated that my every single proxmity bomb got destroyed by my enemies, they just found it and hit it and its gone, mana wasted. The new suicide skill cast time really slow i never succeeded to deny myself and it is so easy to avoid it for the enemies. pls halp, i just want to know how to play it, i swear am not gonna spam it.

| What could I have done better in this game [Phantom Lancer] Posted: 16 May 2017 06:18 PM PDT So I was the last pick in the game and I chose to pick phantom lancer as I looked at their lineup and decided that they wouldn't be able to deal with the barrage of illusions and that it would be a relatively easy game for us. The laning stage was mid against Tinker which was of course a nightmare for me and the first blood was due to me overextending into Tinker's range. After that I tried to get a quick raindrop to minimise the damage he was outputting and did my best to farm whatever I could. I hit my first powerspike with the diffusal blade acquisition even though it might be abit late and I tried to be more aggressive but that lead to quite a few deaths so I would like to get some advice on how to increase my farm or my itemisation. TLDR: Bad laning start. Little farm. Too many deaths. Little kills. How to improve? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 16 May 2017 02:10 PM PDT Is Refresher on Ember a viable option now, since refresher refreshes charges? Maybe this can be an alternative, more burst dmg build as an alternative to Octarine? 1800+ AOE DMG nuke Ember seems quite crazy to me. Here's pros: Much more dmg, obviously It fits into Embers core build of veil, bot, maelstorm. One perserverance can be built early in game, to solve mana issues, rest after maelstrom. Solves mana issues completely Hp regeneration I can see this becoming a thing and I'm quite surprised no one mentioned this. Especially concerning a new melee creep on mid which gives 650 additional gold by minute 10 if killed on every wave. 900 gold by minute 15. Which is just enough for void stone, right? Now take a look at this ember build: 2 branches, axe, shield, tangos (start of the game, optional) Then regular boots, wands, bottle (till minute 5, wands/bottle optional) Then Voidstone + Veil (till minute 12) Then Maelstorm + Ring of Health (till minute 20) BoT (till minute 23) Refresher (till minute 30 max) Alternatively, get BoT + Ring of Health before Maelstorm. What do u guys think? Additionally, Aether Lens could also fit Embers magical build now, cause, u know, changes - it gives mana regen now. Maybe as an optional item early game - right after veil and Bot, if ur having a hard game and are low on farm. [link] [comments]  |
| What am I missing in these 2 games? Posted: 16 May 2017 11:51 AM PDT I played Axe this game and Phoenix a couple of days ago. In both cases I was rotating early, dominating the game and helping take over the towers. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3184900987 (Axe) https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3170002854 (Phoenix) And then it all went down the drain and we lost. What am I missing here, and what should I understand about the situation? I don't usually play either heroes so I understand that I sucked in playing them. [link] [comments]  |
| Why did we lose [Faceless Void] Posted: 16 May 2017 05:10 PM PDT So I had a game of Void ytd and I was solo safelane, up against a bristleback solo lane also, however I believe the matchup had a slight advantage on his side, he was able to control the lane for the first 3mins; he would spray everytime I come close, forcing me to back off. I think I ended up with about 40/40+lh by 10 which I know is below average esp against a solo melee hero. However I had free farm for the first 10 or so minutes and did the occasional jungle before returning to lane to get my last hits. The item timings were abit slow and I'm looking for advice on what I could have done to better improve my game. I felt like MoM was a core but if I had gotten MoM I couldn't have brought down the Meepo so I went for the Maelstrom instead. I felt like I had already maximised my farm but is that true? Questions:
TLDR: I almost had free farm and yet my networth isn't particularly high either?? Dotabuff link: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3184359798 [link] [comments]  |
| Brand New to MOBA Games, Where to Go For Fastest Improvement? Posted: 16 May 2017 04:57 PM PDT As the title says, I am brand new to playing MOBAs and truly don't know how to improve my game. Every game goes the same way. I choose a hero, repeatedly die, lose. There are many mechanics I don't understand and in general, just need a lot of pointers and assistance. Any help is appreciated! :D [link] [comments]  |
| 1.8k MMR NA I need help getting to 3k. Posted: 16 May 2017 04:51 PM PDT I really would like some help getting out of 2K and eventually hitting 3k. It's frustrating as I've got over 1000 hours and I still haven't met my goal. I don't even quite know where I'm the worst, I have no idea where to start. It would be appreciated if someone could help me out with some tips or coaching. [link] [comments]  |
| 2 questions about the compendium: Posted: 16 May 2017 04:28 PM PDT 1) How do I earn points in Spyglass Specialist mission? I put wards my team bought and still didnt earned any points during the match or after. 2) What about the seasional terrain? Even if I equip it, the game simply doesnt display any different terrain.

| When can these cores go into the jungle and not miss more than two lane creeps? (Mid and Safe) Posted: 16 May 2017 04:11 PM PDT SF Sven AM Luna Alchemist Spectre Storm Spirit Let's just assume that lane goes 50/50, and that they won't smoke gank you.
