Why arent abilities that aren't leveled up until you level up everything else remade so that people actually level them? It feels like, here your hero has these 3 useful abilities and then this one thing that is pretty much never used.

My point is that i always activate bladmail and people just walk away even in the middle of the battle like im not a big treat. Aghs sounds better instead of blademail IMO.

The only time where losing is better than winning is in Upper bracket grand finals, because you're guaranteed to face the team you lost to and can gather first hand information on their drafting and strategy
Losing before makes you face against way too many teams so you give your opponents more than what you get from them and you lose to a team you may not face again

Honestly, I don't get all the whining about Slark. Even when I got mad freefarm and ganked constantly, I felt like I could have done it on literally any other carry. I died super fast in teamfights to SF ult/death and I pushed really slowly. Sure, I made the supports want to kill themselves, but I could have done that on any carry with a shadowblade.
I'd have rather just played a better hero like Lifestealer or someone that's fun like Meepo.

Alchemist is a flash farmer, Midas is a huge waste of gold on him. A midas takes like 20 minutes for it to pay itself off, you should already by fighting and kicking peoples shit in by then.

Plus most people agree that Midas isn't even a gold income item, it's real purpose is as an XP item.

What is the coolest unpopular hero for someone to know how to play in your opinion, /d2g/?

imo it's kunkka, he's just so bad on paper but some people like attacker make him work so well

Are you saying Slark is bad? Or just average?

Divide all the heroes into unplayable, bad, average, and Better than Average.

Where does Slark lie?

I'm not saying he is the most OP hero but I'm saying he is definitely in the top tier right now for pubs. You can keep saying 'hurrdurr easy counter with void or some shit' like that but be realistic.
>>
>>144443659
no you've stolen a bunch of stats because AM literally can't run before 5 seconds as his blink on cooldown and you have 4 seconds of free invincibility to hit him to steal as much as possible making him a literal level 1 hero tier because you took all his stats for agi

you're both wrong because mjolnir is the best Alch item because alch scales best with attack speed and ive killed entire teams with the lightening

>>144444223
it gives you level 16 really fast and makes you hit faster which increases alchs damage output so much. Alch gets 6 slotted by 25-30 mins so you get like alot of mjolnir procs from the attack speed bonus as well as the free 100 gpm

There's no other way to play kunkka late.
Okay I've seen shadowblade first -> crystalis -> bkb -> heart people but these are the worst type.
Attackers build is very proficient.
The drums get you a good amount of stats, armlet let's you take on other melees early and quite often saves your ass.
after that it's just blink 2x daedalus and you're already set for late.

I honestly think drums is a huge waste of gold. If you need the str, you can just build an urn or something which is good for ganking which kunkka is fucking amazing at and if you need other stats, just build a wand or something
it's a huge delay from an early armlet which is a ton of damage and really good with urn too
