One of the new features on the Compendium system lets me span across two pages without having to worry about the central crease. Not sure if I'll use it much.
How does this look?

i like it
how comfortable are you with other snowball heroes like storm or night stalker? its a very different style of play

I'm pretty damn good at Storm, Nightstalker OK but better than this hero. She's just completely negligible late game.

Try playing her offlane with a basi, max shadow strike and blink before skilling scream/ultimate.
Finally finished my project and am eagerly looking forward to sweet, delicious abuse in the solo queue tonight.
Also, Wasteland 2 is buggy as all hell. I love you Wasteland, but you need to clean yourself up.

well if youre going to late game and youre the hardest one on your team thats a loss yea
you gotta make enough room for your carry to destroy the other team
or single handidly beat the other team into the ground so there isnt a late game
id say the same of storm or night stalker for example
Yeah but Storm and hop around, give flying vision, and has a lengthly disable and a slow that can be used multiple times.
I like QoP. Just kill all the lanes constantly.
If you are in a lower tier, level 1 upheaval and a stun pretty much guarantees a kill against anyone without an escape mechanism.
I agree with this
Solo mid QoP is pretty rubbish
She can offlane easily though. Last time I played QoP i trilaned offlane with Brew and Tree
We got the first 12 kills of the game

The problem is there's no such thing as not going to late game right now.

I still thinks she needs a solo lane, but shadow strike is an undervalued skill. Scream is still needed for mid though, have to control those creeps.
Also, she can scale pretty decently into late game now with the BAT change, you just have to itemize her more in the carry direction than the support/utility direction. If you aren't going to build right click I think you ought to be getting ags rather than the orchid/(bkb)/sheep path that many will take, identical to storm.
I've had a lot of success with her recently using both builds, but I really prefer building her damage with the bat change. Her attacks feel so much better.
What would be your preferred build for right-click?

Huskar needs another remake. Maybe Scrap his inner vitality for another spell.
Ignite: Huskar sets him self ablaze, taking 25/50/75/100 Magic Damage a second, while gaining an additional 20/40/60/80 attack and movement speed.
10 second duration, 30 Second Cooldown, 150 mana cost. Effect can be purged.

The losing streak continues.
I honestly just want him to merge old and new berserker's blood, the hero is so shit that he needs that (and probably won't be OP). Just add something like 1/2/3/4 damage per stack of BB or 2/4/6/8 if that's too low.
hero's big weaknesses:
1) he's fragile (to physical damage)
2) he's slow as shit
3) he takes a lot of self damage
4) he is 100% completely countered by BKB
5) he has to be played as a core and requires some farm
The frog can stand to remove some of these, every hero needs some drawbacks obviously, but huskar has far too many. The damage on BB will go a long way towards allowing him to manfight other carries that have BKB (because currently, if the enemy carry picks up bkb, that's it, huskar does 0 damage to them and they will blow him up immediately).
The extra raw damage also increases his survivability as he will lifesteal more from the extra damage, provided he isn't CC'd.
Looks sweet!
is his name sanjay?
In fact, the three "worst" heroes imo are all female... QoP, Lina and Windranger (sorry kvk ;_

Here is a dumb idea, make use of the changes of the damage system and have Burning Spears do Spell Immunity Piecing Pure damage.
Please fall in a well.
Am I allowed to climb to the bottom of the well, then fall down?

Stick with orchid first, bkb if you absolutely must, but then it will change on the game. Maelstrom/Mjollnir is usually a solid starting point, deso is great if you need to kill a bristle or push buildings harder, and skadi is my favorite item so that too. Besides that just the normal stuff while making sure you get enough attack speed to utilize that bat.
Playing it you just want to utilize her blink to keep you safe while smacking the crap out of them, blowing your nukes if you get a good chance to.
No, you have to fall from the top.
I'll even volunteer to push you, just so you could hit your head a few times on the way down.
Are they easy to shut down, or do you get them stuck on your team?

Can you PM me a match ID please.
In before he waveforms on the cliff, then realize he is fucked as his attack range won't reach the creeps.
Yeah I'm also not a big fan of QoP. I think pubs have a hard time playing with her on my bracket, they always feed. Same for Windranger. In fact, the three "worst" heroes imo are all female... QoP, Lina and Windranger (sorry kvk ;_

Huskar still bottom of the barrel like Anbokr said. Those three really aren't that bad.
I think AM is also weak, but I have yet to touch him in this patch, so I could suddenly be wrong.
At least you didn't day Pudge. He's even more of a beast in 6.82. That turn rate and Pure Damage Urn.
yeah seriously he actually lost a game wat a scrub LOL, look at those tainted friend winrates no all 100% consistency

Why are folks hating on Huskar?
He's one of my most winning-est heroes...although I haven't played him current patch.

cuz he's shit
i mean im proud of you, you should be proud that ur huskar winrate is good, but that doesn't really have much to do with the overall balance of the hero. i.e. if I have 80% win 6 kda on invoker it doesn't mean invoker is necessarily OP nor does it mean I'm a good invoker player (but I am though, I can cast cold snap and forge spirits in the most clutch situations and my sunstrikes always hit when I have a centaur or LC on my team)
Huskar is in the bottom 1/3rd in terms of win rate, with a 47.5% win rate. So he is not the most winning-est.
He really is just a horrible hero that is requires a lot of farm but is crap after 30 minutes.
Wtf, do mumblegaf only play as a stack now? That can't have been soloq.
Still has weaknesses, practically nullified by Ghost Scepter provided he already ulted, armor reduction wrecks him so badly, seeing as his damage output comes from being low health.

I do. ._.
He said it was among his most winning heroes. I don't think huskar needs much farm at all. He's either a mid that ganks/tps into ganks as much as possible, or a super annoying dual laner that fucks with the enemy carry as much as possible. I really like g.zzz's build where you go mek, armlet, helm, satantic since almost none of the components are too expensive early and you can almost always buy out before you trade kills. I don't think he's an every game type of hero, but if the other team is lacking any source of pure damage, or early physical nukes/-minus armor, you're going to be able to get things done early for sure.
