Magnus in General Discussion

    It has a very interesting linear winrate with respect to skill bracket. crusaders and below are absolute garbage at the hero with something like 40% winrate, and it steadily climbs to above 50% in legend and to 55% in divine with over 30% pickrate.

    what makes the hero better and better the more skilled you are?

      i had not realised people hated magnus so much in high mmr. i had not realised this was a magnus meta at all. of course this is because i am in archon bracket and that hero sucks

        Because lower brackets tend to max Shockwave and Skewer first and let him mid buying Shadowblade/Sabre Carry build, While higher brackets max Empower first to let his carry flash farm, let him support or offlane and buy items the team needs.

          Magnus + PA or AM.

            The only hero worse than PA in high solo right now is Magnus. Turns any melee carry into a fucking disgustingly strong hero and an RP = insta death if the carry is with the mag and has empower

              Joke hero, basically impossible to lose if you are somewhat competent at pos 1 and you have a magnus on your team.

                Seen a duo in my solo queue request pa Magnus safelane. Holy balls broken unfair as long as you can survive the laning stage.

                poggies

                  All the mags I’ve seen on stream are just empower bots that can’t rp for shit. Can’t even do the basic turnaround rp

                    Apparently it requires some level of intelligence to empower your cores...
                    Makes any carry a super carry
                    Has aoe bkb piercing disable to counter enemy carry

                      Even if you lose lanes, the carry will still recover in jungle with empower and that buffed PA will still rekt dem ennemies supp: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/4261472971

                      Maybe they could have turned the tides by blocking jungle camps:
                      - The carry will have to overextend/show-up in lane to get farms
                      - Magnus won't reach his basic power level (mana item + blink) as all farms will be given to cores
                      - Magnus might start the wards war to unblock camps but it will be really committing (no farms + spending a lot of money you lack)

                        Magnus SICKO MODE

                        fx

                          Pos 6 magnus who cant rp anything and just empower carry all game

                          kuci

                            magnus basically a joke, fucking 10000000000000k hp level 3 beating any dual lane support basically to pulp

                            kuci

                              also ffs that empower on pa is fucking stupid

                              Yami Yugi

                                I'd give him pos 4, buy him wards and sentries, let him Arcane and Dagger, with a pos 5 gold talented support, this will do

                                  mmh good to know.

                                  that explains my last game

                                    people play magnus as a slave now, follow your pos 1 giff mana and empower

                                      well i was hoping that forum goers would've taken more time to think about this rather than> magnus is broken>you just empower your core>low mmr dont empower. would appreciate more insight and not obvious lazy posting. 5k iq and above only ty

                                      Khéops-

                                        Well the entire team has higher MMR and Magnus is a Teamfight hero.
                                        The empower allows for faster farm, faster pushing and a single 3+ RP is game breaking usually.
                                        Higher MMR players will push given that time, they won't go back jungle to farm more creeps.

                                        Ending a game if possible is always the priority at higher MMR. Low MMR players don't recognize this and fail to capitalize on it.

                                        TL;DR Max empower ;)

                                        Lokieleven

                                          Mag has been an okay hero, meta is good for pa tho so mag pa has always been an insane combo, now it just happens more often

                                          DC.MASON

                                            fuck magnus pickers and whoever thought that vacuum on shockwave is a good idea

                                              Väinämöinen

                                                low mmr players also build BF into daedalus (saw this several times)

                                                if the team has a magnus and a PA, she will build BF regardless for no reason

                                                basically a disgrace to magnús ver magnússon
