Who is the hardest hero to learn/use?

So I made this thread after my today experience with Earth Spirit on a bot match.

If possible, I would like everyone to share their own experiences.


Invoker- I never mastered this hero. It took fast fingers and reactions. I cant play invo unless it is a Q E build. Landing the combos arent easy for me

Meepo- Ah, the glorious meepo. Micro here, micro there. And people would just single target burst a meepo. Im still not sure why AoE is his enemy.

Earth Spirit- Hard as hell, but once you try it for some time you get used to him. I think the 6.82 make it easier for me. Oh, and my biggest issue is misclicking Magnetize. HAPPENS A ****ING LOT OF TIME

Chen- Impossible for me. My way to play chen: Get Aghanim's Scepter, send ancient creeps to rat. (played a game with smuggles... ****** enemy didnt defend their T2-Raxes)

Morphling- Probably easiest on this list. With drums, aquila, and treads, he can come online rather quickly. Fun hero, may be cause' of model

BONUS

Phoenix- First, I have no ****ing idea how to play. But after watching Purge's video once, I owned with him.



For me hardest: Invoker maybe, but comparing isnt that easy

If we are talking about playing a Hero to it's best ability, I'd have to say Meepo. A fantastic Meepo is very rare to seem and the difference between a fantastic Meepo and a good Meepo is huge.

Depends on what playstyle you prefer and what are you good at. I, for instance, never played Ench well though I had ~20 games with her, I just can't micro my pets well enough and I'm not quite willing to learn though when it comes to contolling for a brief moment I perform well so I think I would learn Invoker pretty fast if I wanted to. Everybody has his own weaknesses.

i play a lot of Invoker (pretty decent invoker) and believe me, the amount of noob midas rushing exort invokers is too damn high. The reaction time required to play invoker is just not everyone's piece of cake.

Well, Invoker requires precise timings.
Earth Spirit requires stone management and quick fingers.

Chen and meepo is micro.

For me, precise timings are fast fingers are easier because of my musical background. I CANNOT micro. Too hard for me. :C

This thread again huh? People already know what I am going to vote for anyway.

Well, I don't know, actually. I've heard you're good at Earth Spirit, though.

I would say Earth Spirit. Invoker is difficult only because of the memorizing, otherwise he is just like any other hero. Meepo and Chen are all about micro. I just think ES requires a different mindset than the other heroes on the list. The potential is just absurd, so I guess of all heroes the difference between a good player and a great player playing him is the biggest.

Whenever i try Morphling, i can't build items because honestly, i both suck at him and my teams suck at pushing.

I would say Earth Spirit and Meepo, they playstyles are very different though.

As meepo you get a big responsibility, you are what the game is about, either you become free food, OR an unstoppable tanky beast(s) with massive damage, teamfight and anti splitpush. That + the nature of the game makes him really hard IMO. And his potential is just so high, if you are efficient you can MASSIVELY outfarm anyone.

Earth spirit is more about combo's and decisionmaking. Since he can do so much different things like saving people or initiating it requires you to see the possibilities and execute them in a split second.



Also i would personally rate enchantress harder as chen since she can use multiple creeps in the earlygame, and with proper execution you can impact the game massively in the first 5 minutes.

Invoker is kind of like tinker, remembering combo's but harder. But a Q E midas necrobook 3 double forge spirit invoker is not that hard to use, yet its really effective.
Its just that all those bad invokers out there rush useless scepter. -_-
