The Magic Stick, an extra Tango, regeneration, or magic resistance are all useful, but they are still not enough until you can acquire slightly more expensive items - such as the Ring of Health - to sustain your hero. With Arcane Bolt he can harass the opponent every 5/4/3/2 seconds, and truly there isn’t much you can do to counter it. ![]() In the past series, I praised Skywrath Mage’s skills as an aggressive dual laner. Skywrath MageĪrcane Bolt mana cost increased from 70 to 90. As an offlane Doom, your goal isn’t turning into the most farmed hero in the game, but be a nuisance for the opponents during the lane phase, and then contribute to the early fights with your massive presence and nullifying ultimate. Maximizing Devour first is a big mistake committed by low ranked or greedy players. He will often force both the enemy supports to remain in the lane against him to defend their core - meanwhile Doom’s teammates will have an easier early game without gankers. Thanks to the AoE damage and health regeneration provided by Scorched Earth, Doom can survive and have the upper hand against most lineups. I assure you that you can pick him in almost every game without regrets. We can explain the win rate drop simply due to the popularity boost - even players with less experience with the hero are picking her.īase movement speed reduced from 285 to 280.Ī small nerf that won’t hinder Doom’s capabilities as an offlaner. As an offlaner, her pick rate increased in the past weeks, while the win rate slightly declined from 50.8% to 49.8%. I don’t think these nerfs had a great impact. The changes in 7.18 are intended to weaken her laning stage as now she has slightly less mana, -2 attack, and -20/-30 damage in the first two levels of Powershot. Powershot was recently buffed in 7.14, which increased the damage in the last two levels from 340/420 to/360/450 - nothing huge, but still useful to improve your wave-clearing ability. In this patch, Windranger reached the top 10 also as a mid laner, even if not with the absurd 30% pick rate she enjoys in the off lane. 7.18 affected almost all heroes in the new and old top 10, so I decided to focus my attention on them. Usually, I present one hero in detail, and then explain all the changes brought in by the new patch. Io, Night Stalker, and Sand King dropped from the top 10, and have been replaced by Phoenix, Pudge, and Mirana. ![]()
