General DiscussionSo ES first p/b in pros? Still the best hero in the game for like 2 y...

its because there is no fixed meta yet for es ( utility or support ) thats why they are using it to experiment its uses and viability in game
wait for like 1-2 months . he will be either in probably every game p or b , or he will be not used much like oracle

^he is already first pick/ban material (one of the most, if not the most, contested hero on the pro scene atm).
he fits everything and is very versatile. even after the nerfs, hes one of the best picks for any lineup.

Don't like the hero but god is he annoying.. Like bat in like 2012/11??? Still beatable just gotta have them balls but pros have been lacking that the last 2 years

For me ES is not that annoying like the pre-nerf bat rider. You won't see ES in pubs that much or when you see one its not that cancerous because of the learning curve of the hero.

Min 8 blink op bat back in time would end the game right there!!

Crazy to imagine how fun ES was before he got geomagnetic grip nerfed, now it cost a scepter to save your allies and feel like a boss.

Despite being one of the top 11 most picked heroes In 5K+ MMR brackets Earth Spirit's WR isn't even in the top 20. You need to realize that the people playing Earth Spirit in the professional scene have thousands of games with him. A hero isn't OP because there's a minority of the player base that does exceptionally well with it. If anything he's just obnoxious.

^There's no way they have thousands of games with him. Also a hero taking skill to be effective makes them much less annoying, but doesn't make them less OP in reality.

Okay nerf Omniknight, Spectre, Wisp, Abaddon, Lich, Ursa, Vengeful Spirit and Warlock. They're all insanely OP.

PLEASE REMOVE OMNIKNIGHT FROM CAPTAIN'S MODE. HE'S TOO BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE TOTALLY REWORKED.

diffusal blade and he's not broken anymore?

being really good != being broken

"latest"
I've been here before you even knew dotabuff existed, kiddo.

Idk if this tricky guy is trolling or if he's actually just steaming that they're gonna nerf a hero he likes.

If the latter chill dude, it's not that bad. Imagine how tinker players feel. That hero got dragged to hell even though it was only meta for like half a patch. ES has gotten multiple years to shine. Just be happy for the good times :)

he still good

jaun's upon a time storm spirito was OP, then his brother ebolo spirito decided he will take that place after stormo spirito nerfs. soon when ebolo spirito is nerf'd embero spirito will rise to take that place.. and so the circle of balance-o.

ok 6.86e es = rip es
* Earth Spirit's Scepter Enchant Remnant cast range reduced from 600 to 125
