Sleeper heros for TI in General Discussion
Peekaboo

    Ti meta is just around the corner, and as we know the meta there dramatically changes and shapes the meta we see in pubs..
    so with that being said, what heros do you think will be Big/Ban material for TI.

    My top 3 heros i think that are dramatically underated and will have quite an impact in TI. (potm, windrunner etc are a given)

    Dank Willow - 140 damage lvl 1 that stuns in an AOE and every spell on this hero can be game changing, i think we'll be seeing alot of willow in the 4 role.

    Weaver - This hero is stupidly strong against all the meta heros atm, and in terms of mana -> damage, 60 mana for 100 damage + haste + mobility on a super short cooldown.. That is litterally an arcane bolt that teleports you.. think about it for a second.. in a harass meta/sustain dual lanes, this hero is pretty damn skunky.

    Enigma - Litterally every part of this hero got buffed in some way or annother.. with denies being the best they have ever been, the hero gives you a lich lane, Push/flashfarm and that has potential to win you the lategame regardless of how ahead the enemies are.

    --
    That's my 3.. honourable mentions to CM/Witchdoctor.. because i think they're first pick, however i don't think they are underated.

      Necro es bloodsuka terro

      Peekaboo

        Blyatt suka is in like 50% of 5k games atm, hero is the cancer.. i ban him errygame.. You either face his 110 damage lvl 2 perma heal 5 armour mid. or he kills your offlaner 10x in 5mins... F DAT HERO

        Necro is black, i agree with that however theres been alotta people practicing ember/lesh/pugna, so maybe not so much for TI, i can see that hero being an Oddball- kinda like mah weaver

        Es/Terror i think are dead heros, but ill be excited to see them pop up, Yapzor said on steam he was excited to play Rubick/shaker at TI 'i like playmaking heros'. Maybe some Enigma/shaker lanes, however i'm still not sure how you're supposed to lane a shaker.

        Cute picks smallfry.

        Shou

          I agree with Willow, and necro

          But Weaver is just way too squishy to have any impact in a dual lane meta. Arcane bolt is not even a close comparison, on dmg or cd.

          Imo clinx will probably be doing some cool stuff, and cm is coming back as well

            Wtf is this delusional title which is causing such misleadings

            Väinämöinen

              i say treant, PPD will hand out some hard right hooks with that 90 base damage.

              Kotato

                bane is good for sleeeep and so is Elder-Scelder Titan

                Grimm

                  necro will be a top pick again
                  BS is really strong
                  we won't see a lot of willow, she's strong in pub but not so much in the pro scene

                  Dogwater

                    Pudge. I have a feeling the hook range change has made him top tier, and with constant nerfs to mah boi NS, the top 4 last ti might not see that much activity. Willow is OP af, and tusk is still annoying. Also playmakers like shaker, rubick and ET are always valuable

                    click click

                      Riki and bs will be most pick/ban, I guess..

                      matrice

                        necro & enigma are definitly some sleeper.

                        Tb is also way stronger than prior to the nerf of reflection (except versus luna and pl) so, we're to see a lot of tb, unless the ti's meta becomes a poor man clone of ti5

                        PRAISE THE SUN!

                          Offlane riki
                          Weaver support
                          Crystal maiden mid
                          Bounty hunter dps roaming build
                          Ogre magi mid

                            With necro popping up early in every game, is mah late pick pugna back?
                            In pubs im 80% with him this patch, hero still feels like he does what pugna does i wonder if he'll make a resurgence in the pro scene.
                            I know 'Fata, Mind control, 33 and Zai have all been practicing him alot in pubs.

                            Pudge is a hero i can get behind, that hero is stupid.. 2k hp global range at 10mins farming your maidens.

                            People really don't like riki eh? i don't think the hero will see more than 5 games, if he is picked up it'll be boboka roaming riki to counter an ember spirit or something. The hero is god mode if he can snipe chickens and/or get farmed at a reasonable timing, the hero is a non factor if he cant, and call me crazy but a treant and an axe right clicking riki at lvl 1 pretty much deletes the hero
