Earth spirit

How do u win as earth spirit in the trench when not playing with a party cause I've been getting pretty good at him lately and nobody knows how to make use of my initiations unless we're in a party or we are communicating with eachother amazingly

generally, you scream into the mic for your team to take action until they do.


seriously though, keep asking and delivering. if you do both reliably, they will follow.

ES is hard hero, I don't argue, but he is IMBA! He has stun, silens, escape, punch, attract. Everything. Try to play, learn how to play and you gonna be IMBA player!

Go solo offlane, and get fast level 6.

Once ES is level 6 he doesn't need to rely on his team anymore.

I usually go solo offline and leech xp and once 6 become a roaming machine and Gano all the lanes but nobody knows how powerful my ultimate is cept when I'm in a party and they know to go in when I go and not just keep farming like a bunch of idiots

You could just shift play-style a little when you lose the ability to solo kill; Instead of going on aggresive initiations where you team won't follow up on you, be in position to counter initiate enemy aggression and be ready for fights.

You are playing an incredibly versatile hero; There is other stuff you can do if your team doesn't want to be aggresive. Even just farming is fine when no aggresion is happening, because you've got really good items to build into.

Getting a team to play aggresively when you want them too is just a hard task till people start being able to read the game well.

I honestly need to start doing that cause I usually play to aggressive and I guess I do need to play more passive when in pubs

Mid works fine as well, grab a few clarities and use your "q" to last hit if your opponent is aggressive. I usually go bottle->urn (for mana regen, str and nuking power) -> veil (if I got the momentum). Usually you can fight 2 foes at once if you got a lvl advantage. You just need to realize when you can't gank on your own anymore.

Oh, and use your peaks wisely (6,11,16) - especially if youre ahead in terms of xp.

I usually don't send him mid for the same reason I hate pudgy mid:he doesn't need the farm as much as a lot of the other mid hereos but he needs the xp so he goes offlane and can disrupt the enemy safelaners farm so I send him offlane unless we dont have a mid hero at all

I honestly prefer to play him as a support, because if you get zoned hard as an offlaner you will do the same thing as if you were a support. Get an orb of venom at start and gank mid with lvl 2-3. ALWAYS carry a tp and react to dives, you can punish them really hard. Aether lens into agha so you can stay relevant late and save people.
