Huskar's place in the competitive scene

i like how u said chivas.
Been drinking in new year spirit bro?

Huskar should not be the one initiating unless it's a sure kill, even if it looks that way (with the dunk and all -_-"); that's how one gets focused and die. The problem is surviving after using the ult or trying to stay in close proximity of enemy targets regardless if he has BKB. That's probably one of the reasons why Icefrog buffed Inner Vitality regen rate and the ability to use on a BKB target. Anybody remember how strong Huskar was when he could orb-walk in ghost form? He could survive and the timing when Huskar got Ghost Scepter, nobody had BKB yet so he could go all out in that 5 seconds of virtual immortality.



Kyphoid, seriously, you really need to stop with these type of comments. That is something anybody can say for most heroes, you can replace Huskar with Lina or Lion or Skywrath or Zeus for example and that sentence would still work. You consistently repeat general information in a lot of threads that is very easy to say but when it comes down to a detailed discussion of mechanics or why someone might do this or that you are not able to offer anything past face value.

Hence my. Point.
There are players that provide utility all game and huskar peaks and drops off abruptly.
What is general about providing intense DoT with nurning spears?
I can't think of skywrath or lion or lina like that.
Venomancer comes close but his style is different.
I stated a fact and built on it by providing my insight on how huskar can be a good#4. You didnt see my build? Didnt see how I stated huskar needs to be martyr. Even if i say wrong i do have an opinion. Merely saying that i generalized doesnt dilute my opinion which still stands. Kindly see my previous posts.

Seriously dissapointed with you thinking that i copy pasta.

I guess support Huskar could work, all patches tend to make him less and less level dependent so he doesn't "need" solo mid. Now Life Break is great at only level 1, and Berserker's Blood is good with only 1 value point in it as well. You can just max Burning Spear and you get a very strong level 7 hero. He still kinda needs items though, in competitive supports have really zero items, but since in pubs supports can get tons of farm I think it's at least a viable pub strat.

best way to play Huskar IMO is as a solo hero in a lobby with no opposite heroes.But there is still a chance that he may lose >.> ._.

Kody's drunk
100% confirmed.

No Venomancer's playstyle is incredibly different from Huskar, the only thing they have that's similar is a DoT. What I'm having a problem is that those type of comments add nothing, it doesn't add to your previous comments. That "insight" is very broad and can be applied to any hero that does magic damage. You talk about the end game but not the journey to get there; only mention broad scenarios but never past that face-value. Was this not a discussion about Huskar's place in the competitive scene and to discuss some possible reasons to why Huskar is barely picked, if at all?

It's like adding a sauce that has no taste nor any nutritional value. You lack experience to provide insight, with or without that comment your other comments would stand on it's own. Compare Cataclysm2146's comment to your comment that I responded to, there's room for more discussion as we're talking about his damage and survival. Your comment is just a generalization of a situation that lacks depth of information, it's surprisingly similar to the times you first came to this forum.

It's like you have this incessant need to provide a philosophical generalization that is strangely parallel to the trolling when you first came to the forums. You have yet to play Huskar so what experience do you have to provide that can not be drawn from other people's experience? Now I would like to continue a discussion of Huskar's place in the competitive scene without useless information.

So let's talk about your comment then about what needs to change Huskar



How does buffing his ultimate make him a "viable situational" mek carrier and how does one correlate with the other? Why does he need to die to weaken the enemy carry late game (that contradicts btw), why not try to survive and win the mid game at most? Inner Vitality does constantly heal you, the amount of heal adjusts to how much hp you currently have, you just get a big bonus when below a threshold. However I do agree to increase the threshold but not at an absurd 80%, 50-60% is a lot safer and balanced.

Where did you get the idea that magic damage is made light in the late game? If your only source of damage is from your hard carry then you're going to have a bad time. Why does Burning Spear seriously hurt a support but only irritate a carry? Why does he need to be played as a martyr, why can't he be aggressive but try and survive?

On:the main problem with huskar is that he can either be a glass cannon or an irritating semi-supportish kinda guy,and does not do good either way.

In my opinion, making Huskar's already strong early game a little stronger might work wonders as,lets be honest, a 6-slotted Huskar can't do **** against a 3-slotted Faceless Void.

in competitive scene, Huskar as of now is non-existent because of the meta being farm oriented and the surge in late-game supports such as Ogre Magi and Vengeful Spirit and Earthshaker who have solid stuns and seriously **** up Huskar's early game.

needs big overhaul IMO. Huskar and Sniper suck.

OFF: someone i know procured 2 bottles of goldshlager,3 bottles of moonshine(yeah i know) and 3 cartons of beer; so right now I'm

Berserker's Blood has active components, when used, gives Huskar max stack of the buff and renders him magic immune for 4 seconds. Can only be used if huskar has only 50% or less health left.

Or..

inner vitality grants the affected unit magic immunity if used at the health threshold. (40%)

Might be OP
