......

There is no best 1v1 hero, because DotA is a game of picks and counter picks.. This is akin to asking which is best among Rock, Paper and Scissors...


Wrong. In Rock, Paper and Scissors there is only 2 factors that we have to take into account. Each of these can destroy 1 of them and lose to 1 (other) of them. In Dota this is way more complex, and 1 hero can be a counter to more heroes than the other hero. This is not like: Razor counters 30 heroes, but he is countered by 30 hereos as well.

razor is great at winning his lane against 66% of mids.

he is countered by 34% of mids

he has the highest percentage so that makes him the winner.










* side note 120% of all statistics are made up.

honestly he is beaten by heroes that

a) dont give 2 rats about static link
- heroes that are ability dependent like zues or QoP do well because who cares about right click
b) have some form of escape
- even if you dont care about right click...he does, being able to break it quick is a must.
c) dont have to *WIN* mid.
- in game phoenix doesnt have to *win* mid he is there for levels and then he goes ganking. other heroes like that are death prophet (even though she usually does) or necrolyte.

Phoenix is a hard counter to razor because of his escape, his hp level and items.
his ulti also helps haha


plus i mean im a decent phoenix player ... i love me my fiery chicken haha

If it's about being a b*tch in 1v1 then it's Doombringer and Terrorblade
I mean, c'mon Doom has Doom and TB has Sunder

I'll go for Phoenix in a 1v1 :3
Dat Pure Damage Lazor, AS slow poop bombs, MS slow escape/chase mek, and TEH HUGE FLAMING EGG
No one in the world could 1v1 a huge flaming egg with multiple AS slows from poop bomb, Shiva's, AC (although you won't see Phoenix wearing that) an~.




Breaking news!
A man was completely mauled by what some witnesses say (chuckles) a Troll wielding axes and a giant Bear.
It seems the man wa~ Holy sh*t!!! Carl! Behind you! Giant bear! RUN!!
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, I have come to erase that fine line.

Just a thought (if everyone is 6 slotted): Slark

4 seconds is a LONG time of getting hammered in a 1v1 encounter.

Pretty sure Shadow Demon is up there for one the strongest 1v1 if fully-slotted

Aghs + Refresher + BoT or Int Power Treads + Force Staff + Scythe of Vyse + Ethaeral Blade or Dagon or Black King Bar

Even if they have BKB, Demonic Purge will keep you locked down for those 10 seconds since aghs purge has 2 charges. If they have CC like sheep from Lion then BKB is the obvious choice

Disruption > Soul Catcher > Shadow Poison spam > Ethaeral Blade before poison pops into Sheep or vice-versa then refresher, repeat but this time with double purge. You're kited to hell and with high poison stacks that you can stack to more than 10 if you kite properly

And then Phoenix picks up the e-blade hype and then started diving and e-blade-then-dagoning nearly every scrub he sees.
