      It really is worth it. Even if it takes much more time and thus you would make less videos, it is worth it. Dont stop doing those please.

    • @TheCherryTrader
      @TheCherryTrader 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah, I think that its important for him to keep upping the quality of his videos, and the skits make this watchable to people that don't even play dota XD

    This is freaking BEAUTIFUL, ya BEAUTIFUL MAN. Even if I didn't love the skits (And I do) I'd love how effectively you've gone through everything in this. This is the standard of quality for the year? Then bravo sir and GOOD LUCK keeping this up.

    "If the enemy is doing well, does that mean you are not?" Eric with the deep questions before that minute or so before the end where you wonder if he's kidding, or if he's crippled by depression.

    God, I love when you use Twin Peaks music. And this is the first time you've gone for the audio from season 3, I think. In general, you have an incredible choice of soundtrack, and really sharp editing skills. One doesn't watch your videos to get Dota anymore - well, I don't, at least, since I don't play it anymore - they're just extremely good on their own. Keep this series going as long as you can, man, I beg of you.

    • @alphablitz1024

    • @mpaul1131
      @mpaul1131 7 лет назад

      I wrote that comment before I got to the end of the video, and I was hoping there would be more because the moment at 6:01 seemed like a prelude, a foreshadowing to some scary monologue by Erick later on. It turns there will be a second part which will inevitably have some of that.
      Compare the 6:01 sound to /watch?v=yjNPWew5kpk&list=PLT6aoI6Aki8xeOrcJ9Avho3ZGjC4GghY2&index=8 ("Electricity" by Dean Hurley). I assume you expected more so I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am quite sure he's used Twin Peaks in the past, though.

    Excellent timing. Found your channel today and watched your video because WW is kind of my favorite hero. I stopped playing Dota for like 2 years and just got back into it. I was like "Wyvern's a new hero, let me try her. Wow her burn is sick, I know she's a support but Idgaf I'm gonna try to play her as a carry." (In bot games.) So I found your videos to be hilarious when they all have my mindset of IDGAF if I'm a support, I'm going fucking mid and carrying. Of course I fail a lot but, man WW is such an amazing hero. Rushed a Skadi on her last game and it was SICK. I also found IceIceIce actually played her in a pro game before 7.07 as a carry offlane and the reason for this was that they were up against an Earthshaker and Batrider was banned. Troll Warlord + WW carries. Apparantly it's viable as a super situational counter pick.
    I thought I was gonna have to wait years before you did another WW video. You're the man. The only hero I'm actually decent at is Brew Panda.

  • @alphapolimeris
    @alphapolimeris 7 лет назад +6

    No need for part 2, you spoiled everything.
    Play as a core (not carry). Probably mid. Curse the biggest threat, he will survive (?) but will be exposed and doubt his capacities to take a fight. If you lay a meteor on top, you ultra-nuke the ennemy team. Press your advantage as soon as you are lvl 6, which means probably play in a pushing team to force teamfights through objectives threathening.
    From level 6 to 20, every time the ennemy team groups up, you win. Because you essentially have a blackhole that doesn't need to be channeled.
    I would say blink first, meteor second. But meteor first can work if ennemies don't expect it and don't have many disables. Blink + invisibility in disable heavy teams.
    In short: play her as a mix of Enigma and QoP.
    edit: Which is an incredible concept ! I have been playing her as a support for so long and never had that idea ! You are awesome !
    edit²: also, be thrice cursed. You made me reinstall. I am going to be plague on myself AND my teams.

    Great video like always. The leech in offlane outpost doesn’t really apply anymore. With the changes to denies you could sit there until 10 minutes not hitting level 2 if the enemy carry can balance the wave properly. Offlane meta right now is really, fuck up the creep equilibrium to the point where you can safely get some xp.

    THIS! SO MUCH THIS!... I've been using WW mid for a while and now its seeing legit players try it. (did it once years ago and LOVED it) but you get so much hate and people AFK when you play WW in a core position. I had to resort to offlane (which still works and with the new patch it seems to have nerfed WW mid with talent changes but w/e it works.) But thank you for putting out 2 legit videos on WW. you are 100% right about the ult, it works great when it works but i find myself using it a handful of times effectively most of the time i just use it as a stun. Her W and Q are SO good early
