what happened to ember being a shit hero in General Discussion

      All picks and bans envolved Vega (not touched in any other game) and one of the picks (the only one that won) was a deny pick against Vega... I dunno... I just think it's a flavour pick of the team... and even then it isn't doing well for them, they lost both games they picked it (with CDEC having the only win with it...)

      Don't think we can talk about him being shit or not... but I wouldn't say he's great.

      ooooooooooo

                cuz pub stats matters for competitive games so much :facepalm:

                waku waku

                  ive seen how hard he can fuck people up he's one imba spirit

                  [Lk].Zano

                    Wasn't he called a shit hero in only exactly ONE random dotabuff topic though?

                    Edit: I also remember that topic not being exactly sane, so there's that.

                          are you high or just retarded?

                          ember is shit, if anything that crap fucking hero should lose before he gets the item after bf or even before bf!

                          i think this says enough http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/ember-spirit
                          only fucking disgusting noob americans upper/lower and asians use it and thas because they are sad noobs!. Include fail vega that paid the price for picking it and wasting their precious bans on it!

                          TLDR: ive been saying for ages that the hero is shit and IMO still is! But as i was telling a friend today, the hero is pretty strong played correctly in defensive situations! sadly games dont last enough for the impact to be enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hero is fucking garbage

                          ooooooooooo

                              @benao you've also been saying that trax > sf so basically you live in another reality.

                              arin

                                why does everyone care about benao's opinion anyway
                                for years he's acting like total asshat and yet you keep reacting on him

                                only kitrak's flame can save us from his shitfest

                                ooooooooooo

                                        Maybe picked up due to snowballing strategies as he can hold out pushes and can weather a lot of the new meta nukers. He was always decent just very few players could effectively play him.

                                        Vaikiss`742.

                                          no he is picked cuz he can fight early unlike other carries he can do shit early and dont need that hard babysiting and then hes really good at defing highground and he also good at splitpushing while still defending when he has bots + remnant

                                          Mokujin

                                            Does SoF cleave on Undying's zombies?

                                            Sebastian

                                              pretty sure we saw it kill all the zombies yesterday

                                              and victory goes to the swiftest and the one that can take tier 3 down early/fast enough --> NOT ember. So ember trash this meta too!

                                                When was ember considered shit?

                                                Vaikiss`742.

                                                  good thing this is 5v5 game so 4 other heroes can push while ember does his own things

                                                  Sebastian

                                                    like you get a chance?
                                                    safelane is the most infested lane, jsut send tuskar++ or undy shit and you're pretty much fucked farmwise
                                                    mid? mid gets hate!!! you're prob gonna lane against a lesh or smth and rape
                                                    offlane? yeah gl offlane

                                                    Rocket

                                                      he's just a reactive pick against certain popular meta heroes isn't he? undy/pl etc.

                                                      Sebastian

                                                        imo pl isnt that strong to warrant going a weak ember for
                                                        and there are better heroes to go against undying, range heroes and constant lane eluding.

                                                        ooooooooooo

                                                              Last picking is 4 pussies

                                                                I think ember fell off because other mids stole the spotlight.

                                                                Correct me if wrong but melee mids in general aren't that big this patch.

                                                                I am now also a little perplexed on ember pick count but if it kills zombies for sure that helps.

                                                                  you kill people with shield + 1st skill, get some sustain (bottle).
                                                                  when i really felt like i couldn't do shit was late game cuz i had to rely on my team to do everything good in order for me to be effective.

                                                                                in the lategame (professional) supports will have more defensive items to save u, and ur fist lets you shit out retarded amounts of damage

                                                                                Last picking is 4 pussies

                                                                                  Sebastian

                                                                                          Yeah, i agree with that dunning kruger jerk Benao, Ember needs to get a bunch of kills to even be good at ALL.
                                                                                          Everytime i play him, if i don't have like 9 kills and 3 deaths, i'm probably going be irrelevant with him late game. He's bad despite having the tools (abilities) that would make people think other wise, aka Magic shield, initiating/ganking ult, a stop(semi stun) and a team fight W, even with those, he's still pretty weak.

                                                                                          He can't hold a candle to real carry's late game.

                                                                                          Ce commentaire a été édité

                                                                                            until then he can only get kills with skills and when he can't kill ppl with skills and doesn't have enough items he is a pile of shit that can escape if he's not chainstunned/hexed.

                                                                                            JungleMonkey

THE pinnacle of professional e sports tournaments, where it's all on the line. And pro team after pro team are picking him and doing well (as if they just pulled this shit out of the blue)

                                                                                              The fact you are saying he is shit says something about your egos.

                                                                                              This discussion thread is over. Ember is a great hero in the right situation. Just like many cores. You would probably prefer the team that picks gyro and qop every game because of their diversity, that's fine. Which is why ember shouldn't and hasn't been a round 1 or even round 2 pick for the most part.

                                                                                              Defending high ground; heavy team fight strats; split push; pairing with strong defensive supports like dazzle/omni; counter push.

                                                                                              It is not even arguable that ember has amazing escapability & heavy burst dmg/initiation that lasts throughout the mid to late game. He has a very easy time split pushing and farming in lanes against teams that want to group up in the early-mid game.

                                                                                              I fail to see any argument for how he will be shut out of farm, I've not seen it in any game in ti nor forsee any reason for that to happen.

                                                                                                  if c9 wasn't retarded they wouldn't have lost to this ember either.
