Necrolyte doesn't do shit to Huskar. In fact Huskar hard counters Necro now.

Counters against Huskar include right clickers who can bash him, crit him or make him miss attacks. Void, Troll, PA will do way better against Huskar than any nuker/caster in the game.

You can cancel out her agility bonus if you get in her face, shes pretty helpless then. Also Shadowblade is popular on pubs so get some dust when she tries to escape.

Well, provided the Huskar doesn't get so low that Heartstopper Aura threatens his life (if he reaches max BB stacks, he's dead in precisely two seconds).

Inner Vitality mitigates that as does your HOTD life steal which IMO is core on Huskar.

Also Axe still counters Huskar as does AA.

Mitigates it to be sure, but you could also be eating non-magical nukes, stuns, and autoattacks. Trying to max stack against sources that don't care about the increased MR is playing with fire.
 
I am not a fan of HOTD or Armlet on Huskar and think it completely cripples his damage output. Going for raw hitpoints/str for Inner Vitality, armor, and crit is the way to go imo.
 
I think counters to Huskar right now include the following:

Phantom Assassin (makes Huskar miss attacks and she can crit him)
Ancient Apparition (with his ulti he can prevent him from gaining life back when low and shatter him when he's at his strongest)
Axe (the passive and ulti blow up Huskar)
Lycan (right click damage plus crits)
Void (bash plus backtrack)
Tinker (the laser and march plus if he gets Guinsoo he can keep him as a Sheep)
Chaos Knight (crit, illusions, stuns)
Brewmaster (crit and evasion plus ulti)
Timbersaw (pure damage will wreck Huskar at low health)
Bane (pretty much all his spells are useful against Huskar in some capacity)
Troll (Bash plus attacks miss, still the superior troll)
Templar Assassin (huge right click damage and Refraction)
Bounty Hunter (one good Jinada when he is low will wreck him)
Ursa (right click burst damage extraordinaire)
Sniper (if he doesn't get jumped on, otherwise just Manta Style will wreck Huskar's day)
Alchemist (if Alch has basher or HH)


Bloodseeker is surprisingly not bad against Huskar provided you have good items.

Advice: If you see this fella walking towards you, run in the opposite direction unless your Huskar, then start dancing around him.

Well HOTD and Armlet both give armor too plus in the case of Armlet it gives him Strength and damage as well.

But I generally do agree.... Crit/Armor/Strength is the way to go.

This 1v1 counters are pointless. It's team effort, same as PL.

Is Doom still cancellable by Levi's Kraken Shell? I also have a game once when I was Spectre and I just shrugged off doom because of Dispersion. I might be wrong though.

True but people were asking about it.

I just hope people stop using high damage nukes on Huskar when he's low health. It was embarassing yesterday watching people try to kill my Huskar by spending all their mana.

Also that new Medusa ulti is disgusting.

You can pick whoever you want, but if you don't have a specific priority goal of shutting down AIDS Huskar/Cancer Lancer you going to have a stomp on your hands.

Empire

Rocks Kiss

LOL tide first pick, ss 2nd pick, fucking TI2 lineup
edit omfg necrolyte
 
everytime Huskar gets a buff theres like a week of rage and "OP Hero" talk, and then after that he fades back into Bloodseeker tier. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell Naix got an AOE buff on his ulti while Husk + BS get nothing.

Don't know if he'll end up god tier but he's significantly more viable now. If he was in CM I would pick him often.

Also Husk + BS got a lot this update, Pro played Bloodseeker several times to great effect.

The fact that they removed him from captain's mode means they know it is imbalanced.

Naix got an AOE buff on his ulti? Didn't see it in the changelog.

Well I know his magic resistance works because 1.09 said Doom's ulti did no dmg while he danced around Final's corpse in yesterdays IH.

6.78c

-Doom now disables Berserker's Blood

Couldn't Skeleton King be a Huskar Counter too? When he's wailing on you with low health, just steal 20% of his health, he's down to 1 HP now, and BONK, he's dead.
