Poll Question:


Counterpicking is...
Totally fair and legit and everyone should do it
The worst form of tryharding
A crutch for bad players
Something that should be reserved for ranked (tryhard) mode

Changelog 6.85:

Players who do not pick a hero in All Pick (non-ranked) will be automatically assigned Crystal Maiden. Multiple instances of this buff DO stack. :p

Players who do not pick a hero in All Pick (non-ranked) will be automatically assigned Meepo and assessed with an abandon.

What you need to do, Fedorable, is to wait for a game where the enemy picks Leshrac, Lina, and a bunch more magic damage heroes, and then counter-pick THEM with Huskar. Turn the problem on it's head.

lina is actually a really good counter because of aghs, atleast if she is core. so is QOP.
his hardest counters are AA and bloodseeker, dont even pick him against any of those 2.

I tried picking Lina into Huskar.

My advice: don't.

By the time your get to your Aghanim's Scepter, the game's already decided.

I like the way you guys think. But Safecyn, giving CM to plebs isn't that fair. I prefer Sofa's choice. Icefrog, please.
