He isn't a carry? It says he is on Dota 2, but I guess Valve doesn't know how people play him.

Syllabear is most certainly a carry, I'm not sure how to play him as anything else. o.O

He fits in as a semi-carry in a way, but he is a pusher optimally. Always really has been.

IMO a "pusher" is not a complete role. Rhasta is a pusher yet he's also a support, Lycan is a pusher but also a carry. "Pushers" and "Initiators" are like sub-roles.

I agree, I've seen people calling heroes "pushers" and that isn't right, because that isn't a main role, its a sub-role.

It's as much of a role as any role. Death Prophet and Furion for instance are both picked for their strong pushing abilities. Lycan is more of a pusher than a carry, Sylla is more of a pusher than a carry.

Syllabear and Lycan are carries with pushing abilities. Natures Prophet is a pusher with carrying abilities becase of the easy farm.

With that logic morphling is a pusher too, because of his wave. Clinkz is a pusher because of attackspeed steroid and orb working on towers. Naix is a pusher because of his aoe ult and attack speed steroid.

Yeah.......

Storm is a pusher.

Syllabear & Lycanthrope have carry as main role & pusher as sub-role, I'd rather having these guys in a teamfight wrecking the enemy team rather than having a 4 on 5 while they manage to take down 1 tower, leave that to Broodmothers and Nature's Prophet.

Clinkz isn't that bad of a pusher bc his orb actually works on towers add that to his strafe and towers go down like butter, but again, main role is carrying.

Lifestealer has nothing for pushes, nor does Storm Spirit... what the others meant, Whated, is that the guys they say are pushers are effective at dealing tons of damage to towers once they get there, Morphling only has his Waveform for clearing creeps but then again that sacrifices ones of his escape mechs which is not ideal.
Go now and spread the taint as I have shown you!
