Ive been playing around with Tusk, and he is REALLY strong this patch. I wouldnt say OP, but Tusk is one of this patch's strongest heroes alongside Leshrac and Gyrocopter. There is just no stopping him really. He reks the early game with nukes and positioning. he reks the late game with Walrus Punch. His cooldowns and manacosts are low while his HP is high. He is also REALLY fun to play.
What would you say are his counters, weaknesses, etc.
My team and I have been drafting a lot of roaming combos lately, and so I've been playing a hell of a lot of Tusk. 3 days ago we drafted Tusk + Rubick (snowball into lift) and smoke ganked an alch into an 0-7 early game (he ended 0-12).
Tusk is weak against high mobility heroes such as qop and am early, because they can easily blink away from the snowball putting tusk in a potentially dangerous position.
Only untill he gets blink he'll be able to actually catch those heroes. The problem that can arise here is that while tusk is still farming his blink the enemy core will be able to potentially farm out of control. At this situation it's on the supports of either team to secure that farm or prevent that farm with ganks.
