This is Axe initiator’s, skill, he will lock up all enemies at 275 radius of area, is a great skill to make enemy stop conjuring skills, like stop Witch Doctor’s Death Ward, or Nevermore’s Requiem of Souls, escape, attack your allies, etc. I recomendo getting one score in level 3 or 4, when you have all primary skills complete at 10, finish leveling Berseker’s Call in 12-14 level’s. This skill is also a great way to use Counter Helix a lot of times, damagind all surrounded enemies.
Skills: Battle Hunger
Battle Hunger
Enrages an enemy unit, causing it to be slowed and take damage over time until it kills another unit or the duration ends. Axe gains moviment speed for each unit affected for battle Hunger.
This will be the skill which the build will focus on, combining this skill with Urn of Shadows will deal a lot of damage. First use Battle Hunger then use Urn of Shadows in the same enemy hero you used Battle Hunger, the damage over time incresses by the total of 150, isn’t a lot of damage by itself, but combining those two, you will deal a total of 777 damage on a single enemy hero. Great way to kill a enemy hero after a team fight, or a great way to nuke, and to get a kill!
This skill requires a lot of mana, has a very low cooldown of 5seconds on 4th level, thats why you need to get arcane boots, will give you mana, and when you activate arcane boots, you will restore 135 of mana to you and all allies within 600AoE.
Skills: Counter Helix
Counter Helix
When attacked, Axe performs a helix counter attack, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.
It’s important to say: Counter Helix triggers from the beginning of an attack targeting Axe, not when the attack hits.
This is the primary damage skill of Axe, can do a lot of damage in matter of seconds, killing a lot of creeps, and enemy heroes, but can also be barely activated sometimes, this is why use Berseker’s Call is so important to this skill, you can get a lot of creeps and heroes to turn themselves to attack you, will significantly increases your chance to use this skill, so basically, more enemies attacking you, more chances of this skill activate.
Skills: Culling Blade
Culling Blade
Axe spots weakness and strikes, dealing moderate damage but instantly killing an enemy unit with low health. WHen a enemy is killed in this way, Axe and nearby allied units gain bonus moviment speed.
Well, what can i say? this skill is totaly awesome, thats why you will make Aghanins Scepter for you Axe, you will kill hero after hero with this.
Items
I start with Urn of Shadows recipe and 2x Gauntlets of Strenght and a Iron Branch and i finish ASAP the Urn of Shadows , Why? Mana Regeneration, and that awersome activation witch will help us get a lot of kills combining with Battle Hunger will deal a lot of damage, but remember, always stay close to dying enemy heroes to collect charges for Urn of Shadows, and remember, you dont always need to use a charge of Urn of Shadows to do damage, you can also heal youself or a allied hero in case of need. Important to say that at a certain point you can sell Urn of Shadows to start or finish you Extension or Luxury Items.
After you finished Urn of Shadows you will start immediately with Arcane Boots , the Replenish Mana will help you and your teammates a lot, you may ask, why not Soul Ring and Tranquil Boots ? Axe is a very Fighter Hero, and when you use Tranquil Boots , it’s healing stop, so you will use Soul Ring to trade 150 of Health to 150 of Mana, then you will spend 25 of mana to start to heal that 150 of health, it’s a great strategy, but axe need to be in the m > Soul Ring and Tranquil Boots . And of course, Vanguard you probably wanna to get hitted every time, by creeps and enemy hereos to activate Counter Helix , so it’s a perfect combination Vanguard will prov > Heart of Tarrasque or have a slot for another Situational Item.
Aghanim’s Scepter is a great choice to make, will make you Culling Blade get a extremely cooldown reduction, plus Health, Mana, plus +10 in all attributes. After making Aghanim’s Scepter you can start to build you Heart of Tarrasque buying Vitality Booster . With Blink Dagger you can iniciate a team fight to secure your team a great advantage, use Berserker’s Call to lock up the heroes and start to damaging all fo them with Counter Helix , kill low health enemy heroes with Culling Blade and get the others with Battle Hunger and Urn of Shadows . And if you dont want to make Dagger you can buy a Reaver to accelerate you Heart of Tarrasque
Heart of Tarrasque will incresses Axe’s Health in a extremely scale, and will give him a badadd health regeneration after a fight, provide him a great durabilty. Radiance will give more AoE damage, 45 of magical damage/second will both combine with Battle Hunger and Counter Helix .
Blade Mail Good against carriers, if that Phantom Assassin or Drow Ranger is giving you trouble, give trouble to them as well. Black King Bar will give you damage and strenght, and will protect you agains disablers. Pipe of Insight , Health Regeneration, magical damage reduction and when active gives you and closed allies a magical barrier than shield you guys up to 400 magical damage. Shiva’s Guard will give you armor and int, but the best think in it is the passive aura you have, reducing nearby enemy units attack speed can be helpfull, and when activated Shiva’s Guard will release a wave that deals 200 of damage and slow their moviment speed by 40% 4s duration.
Playing as Axe with this build
Be super hiper agressive, this is only way axe can be effective, when a wave comes and you eneme heroes are melee, be the first to get to this wave and kill all creeps with Counter Helix , you can use Berseker’s Call to lock up the heroes too, damaging then, and you can secure kills with Battle Hunger + Urn of Shadows , it’s very effective.
You will start to make your Vanguard , it will help you with health and health regeneration and damage block, witch will make you kill hundred’s of creeps withouth even taking damage. And to tank heroes and creeps with Berseker’s Call. Aghanim’s Scepter you make you more killer them ever, a 6seconds cooldown in you ultimate, and you can kill hero after hero in a matter of seconds, securing gold to make more expensive and better itens. Blink Dagger will help you to iniciate all team fight’s and chase enemy heroes.
If you succeed you can finish the game with 2xHeart of Tarrask you can change your Arcane Boots to Boots of Travel , Aghanim’s Scepter , Blink Dagger and 2 Situational Items depending on the enemy heroes, remember that if your enemy team is winning, get one situational item to help you and your team to counter them and get the game back to your hands.
James “2GD” Harding is a former professional Quake 4 and World of Warcraft player turned commentator, community member and Twitch. TV employee. [1]
2GD is the founder of The GD Studio, an esports content production venture located in Stockholm, Sweden. With the rest of the studio, he hosted The GD Show, a self-described, ‘no fluff’ esports talk show.

Biography [ edit ]
Early life [ edit ]
2GD was born in Bristol, England, although he grew up in Glastonbury. Both of his parents are self-employed; his father was an entrepreneur and self-made millionaire and his mother created a business in the events industry. He attended the University of Gloucestershire and studied to become a systems analyst, but dropped out during his second year. His parents fully support 2GD in his choice to make a career for himself in esports and they make an effort to follow the events in which he takes part. [2]
He played badminton for his county and was seeded first in that county for Badminton players. He trained with the southwest England team but d >[3]
Progaming career and transition into casting [ edit ]
2GD was a professional Quake 4 player who played for teams such as Dignitas, Fnatic and SK Gaming during his career. He stated that his yearly income around this time was around $24,000. [4] He got his first taste of casting through Clan Base, when they sent out an appeal to find a caster for a Quake game in around 2002. [5] His breakout casting performance was at WSVG 2006 when he subbed in for a caster who was unavailable. He then transitioned into more of a caster role as his skill level in Quake decreased relative to others and later he went on to cast for the likes of MLG, ESL and DreamHack. His MLG casting stint was marred with controversy as he criticised MLG live on air. [6] The comment resulted in his near immediate firing from the role at MLG. [7] He lived in Germany for two years to cast the ESL. He quit ESL after disagreeing with an event that he was set to cast. 2GD found a replacement and left on amicable terms. [8] He moved to StarCraft 2 and casted but mostly hosted DreamHack and other tournaments.
Working as a developer [ edit ]
James then, with the little money he had left, gave a presentation to the developers of “BloodLine Champions”(BLC) detailing what he could do for the company, and for the game, and was subsequently hired. Once he left this job he continued to support BLC including securing a $15,000 tournament at DreamHack. He then made an attempt at raising 2.5million dollars to fund an “esport game”. He spoke to an investor and they were interested but not in doing a small project (they wanted to invest 100million dollars) and making the game an MMO. He ended up trying to cut costs and make the game using only a quarter of a million dollars. The game was set to be called “Reborn” and would have been free to play with a pay element to buy maps beyond the original maps developed by community members (the incentive being that the creator could make money from the map) and other non-intrusive non-“pay to win” pay measures. The project was paused while he built up his “GD studio” [9]
The GD Studio [ edit ]
2GD created “The GD Studio” in the first quarter of 2012. This was a result of thoughts he had when affiliated with ESL; he wanted a project that was completely his own vision. The project’s mission in the words of 2GD, once he started with Twitch. TV, he wanted “to start a s >[10]

but previously with an FX 8 core at 4ghz I was getting
100fps lowest settings with an RX 480 with 7.00 I can barely reach
60fps with the same lowest settings
Somehow valve increased the workload on the CPU by around 30-40%
Set your render engine to DX 9, it has less CPU overhead
Otherwise it’s the base source 2 engine that seems to be the main issue, valve needs to rebuild it with Vulkan implementation from the ground up it seems, and valve clearly doesn’t like working on their games

I benched it on same scene on various api’s, and dx11/gl is about equal, and dx9 is the worst. Cant test vulkan since fraps dont support it
True for now. It was the same when Source 2 first come out. That’s because stuff is ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶p̶e̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶t̶e̶s̶t̶e̶d̶ not tested at all on multiple hardware. Improvements will come, but I bet it will be very slow.
Hello. I have same problems. I have gtx 950 and i5 6600. Same low FPS notedly in fight.. 40 fps. Valve pls fix
I’m happy this thread is getting more posts but I feel like the majority of the new fps issues might be unrelated to my specific issue.. will have to see.
I got GTX 750 on i3-3220. Its really a fine combo to run a game like Dota. I3 3220 dota 2 Max GPU load while playing game never goes upto 30% after this 7.00 patch. I happily used to play on 75hz 75fps locked with Vsync, buttery smooth experience on DX9, DX11 and GL. But now, my fps drops down to 30 in battles and not even getting over 65 fps with almost no activity in map.
And just btw, I have turned everything off. Shadows are medium, texture quality low and render quality is 100%. Even if I turn them down, fps stays the same. Dafuq?

Same here. Turned everything down and still same fps. Nothing changed a bit.
same here on gtx 750 ti high or low quality no difference on fps
There are definitely many people in here that have lost performance because of optimization, but are still at 100% CPU or GPU usage, however there are tons more with your exact issue.
I have a OC’d 3770k (at 4.7GHz!) and an OC’d GTX 1080, and I’m getting similar performance to you, which makes little sense. One thing I did notice was threading performance. Could you check Task Manager while the game is running and see if its using CPU_0 at 100%, but the other CPUs significantly less? I’m wondering if the bottleneck has to do with something here, as our CPUs are much more powerful than average, and it seems video settings have little to do with the performance (at least in my case), which hints at a CPU bottleneck.
Remove Shiva’s Guard from Intelligence support heroes [ edit ]
Those hero are generally cons >Shiva’s Guard is too luxury for support role, only super toxic support can build it
low build rate in both pub and pro games(most of them has less than 0.1% build rate)
They are ranged and have ranged abilities, they usually will not get too close to enemy(Hard to active Shiva’s ability)
even they build it, their survivability still a problem.
There are always better items for them to build
And build such expensive item, buyback gold will increase about 400.
Slow effort does not that obvious.
I think we should remove Shiva’s Guard from all of them. Should I do that? I am no so sure. –神乐坂桐樱 (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
The Future of eSports pages [ edit ]
Since no one reads/updates the tournament pages anymore, I’m gonna remove Tournaments box from the front page, and the Competitive Scene icon on top will eventually be replaced by a Lore icon. The International will still be covered with a page + big banner each year. If no one has any objections, I’ll be doing this soon. – Lemoncake (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
How about add some kind of redirection or notice to https://liquipedia. Dota 2 featured hero error message net/dota2/ as that wiki mainly focus on the tournaments, teams and players. Maybe like the redirection in Perfect World to the wikipedia. Dota 2 featured hero error message It looks like the wiki-writers who cares tournaments prefer to update the information on the Liquidpedia. Dota 2 featured hero error message And maybe the users also prefer to check the results from Liquidpedia. Dota 2 featured hero error message –神乐坂桐樱 (talk) 20:14, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Or maybe we only save the pages for the most important tournaments(for example: the international of each years), the current active teams who join the majors and the TIs. And clean up/delete the information on the old majors(No one will read them) and disbanded teams (There are better places to check those things). And give brief information on the Dota2 Pro Circuits of current year and maybe previous years. We obviously don’t have enough writers to update them, but we can simply record the most important events on the history of Dota2 Tournaments. For interested new players, they can check this page to understand how the Dota2 esport works nowdays and get to know the famous teams or players that are discussed frequently by the dota2 community. When I was a new player, I want to check some pro-game videos and I indeed suck due to the long history of dota community. I was hoping someone can give me some advice which team or tournaments I should follow. I finally know the TIs and Dota2 Pro Circuits are the most important ones. –神乐坂桐樱 (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
This site’s owners probably don’t want us linking to a competitor site. As for the rest, we’ve never had anyone who can consistently update the esports stuff for more than a few months, the Competitive Scene page has only been updated like twice in two years, so I really doubt this will change. I don’t watch esports but I’ll still do a TI page each year, but the rest is just not worth the time. – Lemoncake (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Problems with the Break Page [ edit ]
Hey there, the page of ‘Break’ is currently broken.
Attempting to make any edit, even writing ‘test’ in a body of text will cause the tables in the new version of the page to be broken.
There is currently some lua errors in one of the tables lower down.
I wanted to propose the following updates to the page:
Include Naga Siren’s new riptide passive.
Update the following catagories on the abilities section:
1: Borrowed Time, Starstorm, Death Pulse, Shadow Dance, Berserker’s Rage, Nether Swap, Counterspell, Retaliate, Blur, Take Aim
10: Essence Shift
11: Atrophy Aura
12: Curse of Avernus
2 Both passive components of Marksmanship are disabled by Break (including the splinter arrows granted by Aghanim’s Scepter ). Marksmanship’s particle effects still visually react on enemy presence.
10 Essence Shift still grants permanent bonuses on kill conditions when disabled.
11 Atrophy Aura does not grant permanent bonuses on kill conditions when disabled.
12 The debuff of Curse of Avernus does not grant ally attackers an attack speed buff when Abaddon is affected by Break.
If anyone could help me with this, I would be grateful.
PS: There is also a lua error on the ‘Cyclone’ page, just noticed.
I made your edit for you, everything looks fine to me – Lemoncake (talk) 03:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Betting on the outcome of Dota 2 games is one of the most popular choices among gamblers. Sites like GG. BET offer you plenty of opportunities for making money from your favorite game.
The majority of gamblers tend to wait for the crème de la crème of Dota 2 tournaments – the competitions that generally host the best Dota 2 teams fighting for fame, glory, and whopping prize pools. The finer the tournament, the bigger the bets and the bigger the rewards. And when it comes to the best Dota 2 tournaments for gamblers, The International is the pick of the bunch.
The jewel in the crown of Dota 2 tournaments: The International
Considered by many the biggest esports tournament, The International has been held each year since 2011. Based on the popular game, Dota 2, this event is hosted by the Valve Corporation, the game’s developers.
This annual gaming event gathers the best teams from all the corners of the world. They are generally watched live by thousands in the arena and millions more worldwide.

Before the final gaming event, the teams battle in tournaments around the globe on the Dota Pro Circuit. The 2017-2018 competitive season contains 11 Majors and 16 Minors Dota 2 tournaments that all offer Qualifying Points to determine the eight direct invites to The International.
A new addition for this season is the fact that coaches are now allowed to stick to their teams for the duration of the pre-game draft phase. Once the draft is complete, they are required to leave.
Dota Major Championships
The Dota Major Championships are a series of tournaments started by Valve Corporation in 2015. The series includes the top-drawer Dota 2 tournament, The International, and a few other individual championships each year.
With prizes of $3 million, the Majors we have seen until now took place in Germany, China, Philippines, USA, Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. Dota 2 tournaments highlights 2016 contest This is consistent with Valve’s plan to rotate locations each year.
The Dota 2 Majors were first introduced as a way for Valve to expand the success of The International. So far, it seems that the plan has worked. Dota 2 is still in the top when we are talking about popular esports and betting sites keep it as an opportunity for their users to make bets.

What’s next?
Because we are talking about a progressive industry, its fast growth means that the scene will be changing all the time. New Dota 2 tournaments and leagues are introduced each year, on a regular basis. Some of the already existing ones will merge with others, while some will disappear into the mist.
It’s difficult for people to be on a constant lookout to keep track of the esports tournaments, even if we’re talking just about the Dota 2 scene.
Where can you bet?
There are plenty of trustworthy sites that can accommodate your betting requirements. From big names to specialized bookies, you can find whatever feels most comfortable for your experience.
Remember, before you decide to bet, you must stick to your financial plan and do not exceed your budget. It’s all fun and games until you make a costly mistake, and this can lead to some frustrations.

Be super hiper agressive, this is only way axe can be effective, when a wave comes and you eneme heroes are melee, be the first to get to this wave and kill all creeps with Counter Helix , you can use Berseker’s Call to lock up the heroes too, damaging then, and you can secure kills with Battle Hunger + Urn of Shadows , it’s very effective.
You will start to make your Vanguard , it will help you with health and health regeneration and damage block, witch will make you kill hundred’s of creeps withouth even taking damage. And to tank heroes and creeps with Berseker’s Call. Aghanim’s Scepter you make you more killer them ever, a 6seconds cooldown in you ultimate, and you can kill hero after hero in a matter of seconds, securing gold to make more expensive and better itens.

Axe dota 2 hero guides on dota fire axe
Axe taunts nearby enemy units, forcing them to attack him, while he gains bonus armor during the duration.
This is Axe initiator’s, skill, he will lock up all enemies at 275 radius of area, is a great skill to make enemy stop conjuring skills, like stop Witch Doctor’s Death Ward, or Nevermore’s Requiem of Souls, escape, attack your allies, etc. I recomendo getting one score in level 3 or 4, when you have all primary skills complete at 10, finish leveling Berseker’s Call in 12-14 level’s. This skill is also a great way to use Counter Helix a lot of times, damagind all surrounded enemies.
Skills: Battle Hunger
Battle Hunger
Enrages an enemy unit, causing it to be slowed and take damage over time until it kills another unit or the duration ends. Axe gains moviment speed for each unit affected for battle Hunger.
This will be the skill which the build will focus on, combining this skill with Urn of Shadows will deal a lot of damage. First use Battle Hunger then use Urn of Shadows in the same enemy hero you used Battle Hunger, the damage over time incresses by the total of 150, isn’t a lot of damage by itself, but combining those two, you will deal a total of 777 damage on a single enemy hero. Great way to kill a enemy hero after a team fight, or a great way to nuke, and to get a kill!
This skill requires a lot of mana, has a very low cooldown of 5seconds on 4th level, thats why you need to get arcane boots, will give you mana, and when you activate arcane boots, you will restore 135 of mana to you and all allies within 600AoE.
Skills: Counter Helix
Counter Helix
When attacked, Axe performs a helix counter attack, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.
It’s important to say: Counter Helix triggers from the beginning of an attack targeting Axe, not when the attack hits.
This is the primary damage skill of Axe, can do a lot of damage in matter of seconds, killing a lot of creeps, and enemy heroes, but can also be barely activated sometimes, this is why use Berseker’s Call is so important to this skill, you can get a lot of creeps and heroes to turn themselves to attack you, will significantly increases your chance to use this skill, so basically, more enemies attacking you, more chances of this skill activate.
Skills: Culling Blade
Culling Blade
Axe spots weakness and strikes, dealing moderate damage but instantly killing an enemy unit with low health. WHen a enemy is killed in this way, Axe and nearby allied units gain bonus moviment speed.
Well, what can i say? this skill is totaly awesome, thats why you will make Aghanins Scepter for you Axe, you will kill hero after hero with this.
Items
I start with Urn of Shadows recipe and 2x Gauntlets of Strenght and a Iron Branch and i finish ASAP the Urn of Shadows , Why? Mana Regeneration, and that awersome activation witch will help us get a lot of kills combining with Battle Hunger will deal a lot of damage, but remember, always stay close to dying enemy heroes to collect charges for Urn of Shadows, and remember, you dont always need to use a charge of Urn of Shadows to do damage, you can also heal youself or a allied hero in case of need. Important to say that at a certain point you can sell Urn of Shadows to start or finish you Extension or Luxury Items.
After you finished Urn of Shadows you will start immediately with Arcane Boots , the Replenish Mana will help you and your teammates a lot, you may ask, why not Soul Ring and Tranquil Boots ? Axe is a very Fighter Hero, and when you use Tranquil Boots , it’s healing stop, so you will use Soul Ring to trade 150 of Health to 150 of Mana, then you will spend 25 of mana to start to heal that 150 of health, it’s a great strategy, but axe need to be in the m > Soul Ring and Tranquil Boots . And of course, Vanguard you probably wanna to get hitted every time, by creeps and enemy hereos to activate Counter Helix , so it’s a perfect combination Vanguard will prov > Heart of Tarrasque or have a slot for another Situational Item.
Aghanim’s Scepter is a great choice to make, will make you Culling Blade get a extremely cooldown reduction, plus Health, Mana, plus +10 in all attributes. After making Aghanim’s Scepter you can start to build you Heart of Tarrasque buying Vitality Booster . With Blink Dagger you can iniciate a team fight to secure your team a great advantage, use Berserker’s Call to lock up the heroes and start to damaging all fo them with Counter Helix , kill low health enemy heroes with Culling Blade and get the others with Battle Hunger and Urn of Shadows . And if you dont want to make Dagger you can buy a Reaver to accelerate you Heart of Tarrasque
Heart of Tarrasque will incresses Axe’s Health in a extremely scale, and will give him a badadd health regeneration after a fight, provide him a great durabilty. Radiance will give more AoE damage, 45 of magical damage/second will both combine with Battle Hunger and Counter Helix .
Blade Mail Good against carriers, if that Phantom Assassin or Drow Ranger is giving you trouble, give trouble to them as well. Black King Bar will give you damage and strenght, and will protect you agains disablers. Pipe of Insight , Health Regeneration, magical damage reduction and when active gives you and closed allies a magical barrier than shield you guys up to 400 magical damage. Shiva’s Guard will give you armor and int, but the best think in it is the passive aura you have, reducing nearby enemy units attack speed can be helpfull, and when activated Shiva’s Guard will release a wave that deals 200 of damage and slow their moviment speed by 40% 4s duration.

Top 3 Best DOTA 2 Items to Sell for Cash
If you want to sell your items quickly, you have to know what buyers want and don’t want. You’re probably thinking, “But there’s so much stuff to sift through in DOTA 2! How could I possibly know which ones are worth selling?” Well, we’re here to help you out with that. We’ll be listing down the absolute best items that you should get a hold of to help you jumpstart your business.
Hero Skins
Hero skins are a MOBA game’s bread and butter in the micro-transactional context. Since DOTA 2 is a free-to-play game, they’ve got to find ways to earn their money back; these skins help them do that. As of now, there are 118 heroes in DOTA 2. Now believe us when we say there are A LOT of skins for these heroes! Whether it’s a cheapo one or a mythic-level kind of skin, there’s always a market for them. An example would be the Arcana Zeus skin. Priced at around $20, this gorgeous skin was the pinnacle of what skins could become during the year that it was released. Since then, hero skins have become popular because players are afforded the ability to customize their favorite champions.
Couriers
Couriers in DOTA 2 are tasked with delivering items around the map for players. At times, they can be killed by the opposing team who managed to track them down. Besides the flying donkey courier that we know and love, there are all kinds of couriers to collect. There are more than 50 courier skins, each belonging in their designated tiers of rarity. A great example of how rare a courier can be is the War Dog skin. Released only back in Season 2 of DOTA and can only be obtained through chests, this courier costs up to a thousand dollars! This Ancient-tier skin has steadily gone up in value, and seeing how only a limited amount has been known to be surface around the net, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if the value reaches tens of thousands of dollars someday.
Equipment Skins
Besides hero skins, there are also equipment skins that you can sell. Although they don’t offer the same grandiose element that hero skins do, equipment skins instead focus on the weapons that the champions use. Two of the most expensive skins in this category are the Genuine Axe of Phractos for Axe and the Genuine Monarch Bow for Drow Ranger. Both of these mythical skins are no longer available for purchase in the official DOTA 2 store and can only be seen going up to around $1,800 in the black market these days. Another thing to take note of is that these skins aren’t as sought after as the hero skins, so it’s fine to not prioritize them.
^undy is optional, without mana dies like fly. pudge could be quite tanky so he should be on the list.
^Pudge could. If he snowball, yes. Any hero can snowball and buy items that makes you durable, although Pudge obviously has his flesh heap. That doesn’t give him neutral tankiness.
Im surprised no one said Doom, or Skeleking. Btw can someone explain to me thee importance of bristleback i really dont get him all ik is that he is a pretty good tank if his bank is facing u and then he just sneezes on people and farts out spikes. i just dont get how he is useful(he is still fun and cool though)
BB is a durable hero, and you can’t let him do what he wants.
If you focus him, it takes a while to kill him and your team loses positioning, so his team rapes your team. If you don’t focus him, he stacks sprays and slows/armor reductions on you, slowly raping you and your team.
Oh. so he is doing something helpful lol
Anyway as of this moment im voting Doom because he has the highest strength in the game thus more health thus more durableness(thats not a word) and tankyness
doom has no armor
Timbersaw is rather durable as well.
When it comes to relative durability I guess Visage and Ogre are very tanky for support heroes. Bane as well, because of insane stats and skills.
I would also vote for Visage, he easily gets insane armour and if granted a few kills becomes a pain in the ass to kill.
at level 6, sylla bear deserves a mention, with an entangle bear coming around to save his ass too.
No one mentioned these: morph (op tank late game) orge and treant . (tankist lv1 early game) dp (quite good mid game tank after the bloodstone)
agree with most of you guys listed. and late game spectre and medusa. Dota 2 tankiest pudges tank as hell
morph technically with dusa and spectre (with items) are the biggest tanks naturally though I think bristle eats the most dmg with his hp
Your forgeting slardar Slardar at lvl.25 has 16 armor add something like ac he has max armour so at that point ur going to need to take about almost twice your health to kill So his health at lvl.25 is 2200 so pretty much your going to have to take somewhere around 4400 damage for your to die cus i also think(i dont know if this is right but. ) 25 armour(max armour) grants 70% physical damage reduction
Well lets see here heart should bring slar up to 2500 which with ac and armour means that u will need to take about 5000 damage or so to die plus give him satanic lifesteal which brings him up to. I think. 34 passive lifesteal with it activated 175% lifesteale would bring him up to around 310 lifesteal. so yeah slar would be insustructable he could surive a 5v1 escially since he has sprint plus he is stun king. and if u wanted to add 3 more hearts to slar(if u could actually do that lol bring him up to a whooping 3500 health so in total u would have to get 7000 damage delt to u. thoughts?
Slardar is not a tank. He has raw stats that arent superb either way, no skills that support him being a tank.
The question is a bit difficult to answer since there are different types of damage. It can be situational. For example, against 5 physical damage dealers, PA is basically unkillable if she goes basic HP/armor early (drums, vlads, vanguard). Then there are heroes like Huskar and Viper that are pretty good at absorbing magic damage, just get more HP.
Doom is not that tanky, because he has terrible base armor. He can become very tanky if you equip him with Shivas, AC, and heart. But then again, if you equip any hero with that stuff, he will most likely be tanky (the trick is getting it soon enough to where you basically are invincible).
My vote for most durable hero goes to free-farmed Bristleback since his skills do not discriminate against what type of damage is given. He does need items/levels though or else he’ll die instantly (just like any other hero). I recently had a game where I tanked CK and all his ultimate illusions with vanguard, heaven’s, and shivas. It’s ridiculous. That’s thousands and thousands of damage.
Muchos, incluyendo el propio Scourge, se han preguntado como esta criatura invernal haber perecido en primer lugar.
