Spectre build segment was so helpful- been almost religiously building radiance into bloodyhron sometimes with blademail and still doing pretty well but struggle early game and with farming. Please do more build and breakdowns and play strategies for Heroes
This. Was looking for this. Oracle feels so broken. 100% Magic resistance and a free disarm, heal, dispel, heal amp or reduction. I think it’s so good too
@@goodday7099 You can use him to counter magic damage and right click heroes so easily. His nuke hurts like a bitch as well, I always kill low HP escaping enemies in lane because it has really good cast range with really low cd, lvl 2 180 damage in lane is devious work.
Yeah well Oracle has a problem: every spell can be basic dispelled. Yesterday I had a game in my low bracket against a Windranger thinking about stomping the game with Windrun. My little Enchantress got her and would do the same with Oracle. Same with Shadow Demon. At the end, Oracle is only good for shit shows. But when the draft is balanced and organized, Oracle is the shit show.
@l0uffe He also struggles against heroes like Nyx and Bounty because he's soft. Most tough Oracle games, I play super heavy on the support side with Guardian Grieves and Holy Locket.
I've been playing games with nightstalker lately and he does feel particularly strong this meta. It feels like there are a lot of pos1 picks that rely solely on being slippery which he just straight hard counters.
Alch in the lowest of MMRs is still good, at least for me. Even if you suck or have no stacks, you hit your radiance timing quite quick compared to most carries first item timings and it allows for you to show up to team fights (when you have ulti). It also helps that many supports in low MMR don’t understand how good Spirit Vessel is.
Hi BSJ, can you tell why the other facet isn't preferred? Does it not speed up your farm and improve your laning by maxing desolate? Is killing that much important that regular reality isn't enough?
It's that you can instantly go back to your last location on the map that pushes it over the top, in addition to the additional dagger mentioned as well. The extra pure is nice for laying but it doesn't outweigh the in and out capability or the additional dagger damage and slow on ult
In my crusader game literally this morning i got flammed for picking bounty hunter pos 4 my team said he wasnt a support and i said im pretty sure hes been a support for a long time ive never been more instantly justified
Just mute them instead of talking back then. You're there to be the biggest PITA your enemy has ever played against, not to argue the support meta against some heralds you'll never see again after winning.
Hey brother speed I just wana say there is no way to disengage from her , her dagger stays on u with glimmer even with silver edge that’s why radiance is always still good because u can follow people
Nothing special about him right now. He's just Pudge and people love/hate him since the beginning of time. Hence he is always one of the most contested heroes in pubs. (especially average 1-5k pubs)
He's been picked that much since forever, regardless of how strong Pudge is in any single patch. It's just russians with delusions of being Dendi from the fountain hook days, not an overpowered meta pick.
Great video, you're a good talker. I love spectre. I hope to remember to try out the desolate facet abd regen talent. I always go for dagger cause it gives me those early kills. I skip Lvl 10 talent cause of mana pool and get it at Lvl 16. But trying a new wsy is valuable fir my second main hero. My first is Clock. So nice to see my picks perform. Specs problem at Archon is hard supports who expect it to have early damage. And yeah it's Spectre and not Specter. Maybe there are no genders in her dimension. Can noone undersrand her ?
I dont really get why ppl build silence with spectre, u just manta-instakill, why even upgrade it, like if you needed the extra damage.. also dont really get why this dagger facet is chosen, ok you get mobility, but you're maybe already killing someone whos distant from their teamates, you can dagger the ground already and go somewhere safe for tp, if needed, do you really need the extra mobility, like you need this facet to go back? Plus the desolate facet favors a lot your lane phase, since you just become the number one right-click damage in the entire game with desolate on lvl 1, if your sup has something for the mage creep, why go dagger on lvl1? You dont need it. For me, it makes much more sense to look for the high desolate dmg than dagger, like, desolate is pure damage, your manta combos with it, if you just prioritize manta you can snipe people from ultimate cooldown in and on again. And radiance is a shitty item man, omg, so shitty. Is like midas, only worth it for 2 heroes in the entire game basically.
Ember struggles at low mmr due to the nature of the game... he tends not to have much of lane as the popular heroes are necro,viper, Od shit like that, failing that people make games last way too long until heroes that you typically destroy...i.e a drow melt you in 2 hits. On a personal note ember just feels shit to play since they nerfed spirits to have that cast time it feels so bad.
I think this is the worst patch for the HC role, offlaners are way too overpowered, and carries usually suck in lane. It's harder to farm, to stay alive, and to grow... I was playing mainly HC for 2 months, played 10 games as an offlaner, and omg, it's so much easier and relaxed gameplay.. I'm Divine 3 right now
Bsj can you pls do a collab with Jenkins since its been a while. Can you also make the collab about the best ways to platonically make out with ur best friend. Then you and Jenkins show us by doing making out with each other with each other. Maybe even put a herald review + meta update in the background to set the mood. Please BSJ this has been a life long dream for me and its in my new years resolutions that I have to watch this happen.
My favorite offlane combo right now is earthshaker (with the jump) and Dawn. Earthshaker gets a forever stun, dawn ults in and does her smash to clean up anyone left standing. I’ve literally had games 2v5 from the offlane of just bursting 5 heros with echo and smash before they can bkb
Do you go to dota 2 tracker? Because I don't and I already have an idea what's the meta just by playing but this type of content still helps. Reminding me and others what works right now and how to properly use it
Got the feeling the current meta is dumb-based. I know it is condescending to say so. But this is the reality. Spectre is only good when feeded by supports pushing lanes alone, hard supports not warding or dumbs not considering a dispel or Linken at all. Same with Orchid and Bloodthorn, both are hard countered by basic dispels and once it is done, the carrier is left with nothing. You spent almost 7000 coins for 100 AS. What a waste. Had a 3 orchid game yesterday. 3 ! At the end, it was a shit show... for the orchid team. Just a Linken and Guardian Greaves on my Brewmaster and then it was over. This orchid and /or Spectre meta is really about dumb and dumber. Just be a little smart to counter it.
Everytime this dude makes a video, a new patch comes out in 2 days
LOL
it's ashame cause i like his content, but he slow at making youtube content recently
HAHAHAHHA
@tribaskarasutrisno9542 He used to be content creator first that's why but he's more into casting and working for liquid now
That is a good thing it's been months since last tangible patch
1: Morphling, Alchemist, Spectre
2: Earthshaker, Puck, Ember Spirit
3: Doom, Dawnbreaker, Night Stalker
4: Nyx, Lion, Bounty Hunter
5: Ogre, Clockwerk, Lich
Bless you, I will never understand why BSJ can't learn time stamps or learn dota.
goat
Liked the Spectre segment at the end mate
Spectre build segment was so helpful- been almost religiously building radiance into bloodyhron sometimes with blademail and still doing pretty well but struggle early game and with farming. Please do more build and breakdowns and play strategies for Heroes
I spammed spectre a lot and I can tell since more then half a year the best way is exalty bloodthorn manta and then what ever u need to deal with them
Dota BSJ is back. Good to see your video in my feed again. We missed you.
What people do not get about this meta is that if BSJ shaved his head he would look very sexy like SSJ3 Goku but bald
😂😂
dont forget that him will shave his eyebrowns too
I was expecting shadow demon to be in the top 3 pos 4, he feels extremely strong
Strong when played well, but lower mmr super easy to grief, similar to disruptor
Great video. Glad you’re back!
I've been having amazing success with Oracle 5 last 3 months. 83% winrate in Ancient.
Honestly even in immortal bracket oracle is super strong because so many people who don’t play it don’t understand how the hero works
This. Was looking for this. Oracle feels so broken. 100% Magic resistance and a free disarm, heal, dispel, heal amp or reduction. I think it’s so good too

Good to see you again, welcome back bro!!
Great video man! I hope to see more from you in the future, always have good content and explanations
Welcome back BSJ! Missed you man!
You are awesome! I really miss the educational smurfs - the most helpful content available for learning imo
Happy New Year BSJ! Glad to see you back
Haven't seen a dota video from bsj since last year... yeesh Brian, lock in!
I've been playing games with nightstalker lately and he does feel particularly strong this meta. It feels like there are a lot of pos1 picks that rely solely on being slippery which he just straight hard counters.
Ember feels so good right now be love playing him some games I’ve been doing radiance with the flame guard talents
Sounds garbage
Thanks for sharing your herald build
20min video and at 8:29 he had covered pos5, pos4 and pos3. BSJ is truly a core position dota coach
Alch in the lowest of MMRs is still good, at least for me. Even if you suck or have no stacks, you hit your radiance timing quite quick compared to most carries first item timings and it allows for you to show up to team fights (when you have ulti).
It also helps that many supports in low MMR don’t understand how good Spirit Vessel is.

You can’t reality away after you get the kill with the other facet which is essentially the most broken thing in dota rn
BSJ please make a detailed and up to date SLARK guide, my favorite carry hero and i want to improve on it !!
So tired of alch, spectre and lina...
Same here.except dont really see alch in archon. Spec and lina every mf game tho... i wish gaben would remove pudge 😂what a pain
Gitgud
Pudge can be all role, it’s the first pick or ban every fucking game.
why would u pair dawn with nyx instead of tusk? xd
long time no see BSJ, keep up the good work my friend
Havent played Dota2 for years now and got this stuff here Staffel into my timeline After watching old qui long qua videos, those where simpler Times.
In my crusader game literally this morning i got flammed for picking bounty hunter pos 4 my team said he wasnt a support and i said im pretty sure hes been a support for a long time ive never been more instantly justified
Hahaha nice so you won!
Just mute them instead of talking back then. You're there to be the biggest PITA your enemy has ever played against, not to argue the support meta against some heralds you'll never see again after winning.
Glad to see you again sir!
Holy glad you still remember that you have youtube account. xD
Brians staple intro is now, "hey guys i want to make regular intros"
Thank god. Thought you sold us out for deadlock
keep the good content coming its really helpful
Can you give your thoughts on Kez? Been loving him as a pos 1, hes a beast
Would love to see the weekly update from my boy BSJ, lessgoooo!
'Time go learn some heroes I've never played in ranked games' -My Teammates
nah, they love their PA and juggs forever. their brains refuse to read patch
Welcome back dude!
Pretty interesting that he put Nyx as the top choice in every role.
Nyx nyx nyx nyx nyx
Hey brother speed I just wana say there is no way to disengage from her , her dagger stays on u with glimmer even with silver edge that’s why radiance is always still good because u can follow people
Yearly BSJ video wooohoo!
What annoys me is that spectre dagger's shadow creation blocks the visuals of for instance Kunkka's x mark the spot.
So annoying.
its a shadow, dude /s
I've been playing spectre like this since before the facet patch. Everyone called me crazy, but look at us now
Hi BSJ, what do you think about Pudge currently? he is banned/ double pick banned every game in my bracket for the last 2 months.
Nothing special about him right now. He's just Pudge and people love/hate him since the beginning of time. Hence he is always one of the most contested heroes in pubs. (especially average 1-5k pubs)
He's been picked that much since forever, regardless of how strong Pudge is in any single patch. It's just russians with delusions of being Dendi from the fountain hook days, not an overpowered meta pick.
Please make an item tier list, please?
welcome back goat
Brian a Dota scene legend
Thank you jesus bsj is back baby
Nice to see you back bud
Oh man I started spamming spectre orchid build right before christmas. Currently rocking a 70%ish winrate with 25 games
Lina was nerfed way too hard after lima major. Now she is a glass canon that is all glass and no canon.
We need old arkosh again watching you rage on them was hilarious
Kinda surprised magnus wasnt on the list for any of the core roles
Would be interesting to have a breakdown for every top1 hero maybe?
theres never a top 1 hero when theres a top 2 counter, and so goes on.
hope you're doing well BSJ. if you're not feelin it don't force it.
Bro are you not playing dota right now lol? Lina is picked 2x more than any other hero mid lane, its by far the most meta mid
Yeah but he correct too
ES PUCK MK LINA for me 3digit immo game
Always get a little worried when BSJ doesn’t post for a while.
finally hes back
welcome back sir
Thank you BSG good video.
no chapters :(
flicking all the interactions beans hoping to get more content
Without having watched the video,
for crusader max:
safe lane: Wraith King, Medusa, Spectre
mid: Necro, Arc Warden, Lone Druid
off lane: Wraith King, Axe, Legion Commander
support: Abbadon, Bounty Hunter, Skywrath Mage
hard support: Abbadon, Lich, Warlock
im just spamming broodmother in the lower brackets i think i need help
No abaddon?
Great video, you're a good talker. I love spectre. I hope to remember to try out the desolate facet abd regen talent. I always go for dagger cause it gives me those early kills.

And yeah it's Spectre and not Specter. Maybe there are no genders in her dimension. Can noone undersrand her ?
Why is no one saying anything about him disappearing for a few months, had us thinking bsj dota was over
Somehow I feel motivated to play again. Hopefully I find someone to play with =)
I hate spectre... I ban her every single game.
In herald bristle it's working just fine 👌🏿
Playing specter for 2 week now gains me 1000 mmr in low bracket , bloodthorn, manta , abysal and nullfier no one escapes 🤣
So you ranted about Spectre as she got carried by her team winning fights?
I dont really get why ppl build silence with spectre, u just manta-instakill, why even upgrade it, like if you needed the extra damage.. also dont really get why this dagger facet is chosen, ok you get mobility, but you're maybe already killing someone whos distant from their teamates, you can dagger the ground already and go somewhere safe for tp, if needed, do you really need the extra mobility, like you need this facet to go back?

man we missed your contet
My sups don't know how to ward properly let alone pull properly lol
every 5th video : i gonna be more with u guys ... i promise... next monday ! :D jk*
Lol that's how i play spectre in turbo games
Thanks for gatekeeping seeker, appreciate it lol
BSJ you're alive! :)
ABUSING your ulti off cooldown!
farming patterns next pleaseeeeee
I think this is the worst patch for the HC role, offlaners are way too overpowered, and carries usually suck in lane.
It's harder to farm, to stay alive, and to grow... I was playing mainly HC for 2 months, played 10 games as an offlaner, and omg, it's so much easier and relaxed gameplay..
I'm Divine 3 right now
Welcome to 2025 BSJ
Herald is harder than pro level games BTW for the record 😊
bsj organise an event in Aus please
I came from the video where bsj said he is gonna post content every day ? 😅
I love spectre
Hey Brian that’s a strike for taking too long between posting videos.
Bsj can you pls do a collab with Jenkins since its been a while. Can you also make the collab about the best ways to platonically make out with ur best friend. Then you and Jenkins show us by doing making out with each other with each other. Maybe even put a herald review + meta update in the background to set the mood.

As a level 30 spec Midas rush into radiance feels better than trying to get pickoffs with orchid
By far, the orchid strat is only effective when your team is taking the initiative, radiance is a stronger bet for sure
@ yeah in the non immortal brackets it’s difficult to find a decent team that both understands & are willing to play around spec
U do both midas and rad ? Crazy
@ yeah Midas rush into radiance into treads manta then abysall/skadi replace radiance with butterfly fly & nullifier
@@N3XUSbrz guardian for sure
You're so cool banana
My favorite offlane combo right now is earthshaker (with the jump) and Dawn. Earthshaker gets a forever stun, dawn ults in and does her smash to clean up anyone left standing. I’ve literally had games 2v5 from the offlane of just bursting 5 heros with echo and smash before they can bkb
I'd smash dawnbreaker (been spamming her a lot, and experienced the same scenario once, it was cool)
Oh lawd, we top 3in
Another video that's basically "Let's open dota 2 pro tracker and copy it and make a video out of it".
Least quality, quickest videos.
Do you go to dota 2 tracker? Because I don't and I already have an idea what's the meta just by playing but this type of content still helps. Reminding me and others what works right now and how to properly use it
@@drdoofenshmirtz2763 I disagree with most the list so I don't have much to say to this.
Haven't lost against Alchemist yet, but I'm really getting tired of playing against him now
shit man i missed u bsj
