Pos 5 heroes that are strong pushers/have a lot of CC/have great auras/are lane dominators.
Shadow Shaman, Jakiro, Crystal Maiden, Grimstroke and Vengeful are all solid first picks. You never want to first pick mid, and almost never want to first pick core. You CAN first pick offlane if there is some super broken hero of that patch like Magnus in 7.20 or Chaos Knight right now, but I always prefer a pos 5 first pick in a pub.
Either heroes not worth countering (position 4/5) or heroes that are flexible/you are planning to use them on not traditional lane - for example if you pick Sky mid and somebody Kunka for roamer, they will be trying to counter Kunkka mid, so they might be hardcountered by Sky.
I dont like to firstpick offlaner, as I want to see at least 1 support to know I can survive in the lane - I would prefer to flex pick mid (wind) than to force offlaner to firstpick and be completely destroyed on lane. Especially now with Naix back in meta, who counters a lot of STR offlaners and with decent support will not let the offlaner even sap XP.
When i first pick i usually pick either pos 4 or 5, 5 is pretty much any support i like to play lich aa warlock, position 4 could be clock roof phoenix bara kunkka es undying. Phoenix might be my most flexible hero.
Who cares about other heroes, first pick ls or ns and you will win 70% of your games
While nobody bothers to counter NS, LS is very shit against Ursa or Razor i wouldnt really first pick it.
u can win ls against razor start with lace and rush boots-> phase
ursa is whatever buy halberd lul
Jugg: a safe first pick core. He is currently OP now imo
Ogre/Lion/Grimstroke: a safe first pick supp.
NS is easy to counter as well, especially first pick - you pick strong lineup able to push (ideally ranged) and NS is completely useless in the game.
oh you need to know: its a basement pub, so noone cooperates, and heroes like io are garbage most of the time.
alright, I will share the truth: it is silencer. Silencer counters ALL heros because all heros have spells and use intel to cast them
Anything less than 5k ck or naix are good to go as cores, they don't have any single hero as counter but rather would need a good team composition to counter
NS is easy to counter as well, especially first pick - you pick strong lineup able to push (ideally ranged) and NS is completely useless in the game.
?? ns teamfight is insane hello
clinkz. Can play it offlane, mid, safe lane, support, roaming. Nothing counters him always win.
CK, naix hands down!!! unless one is bad on these heroes. On the support offlane side I'd say earth spirit, shadow demon and pangolier. Special mention to pangolier as he is a great mid as well and bottle n aura carrier this patch, which the other heroes in your team will usually lack.
@giant head
How is his teamfight insane? If the team is split a bit in teamfight, he can silence one target, maybe 2 if there is enough chaos and ministun/slow somebody. Otherwise only right click. And for the silence he needs blink/BKB/SB to get to the target otherwise he will be just stunned and will not be even able to use his silence.
alright, I will share the truth: it is silencer. Silencer counters ALL heros because all heros have spells and use intel to cast them
But what if I don't use a single spell the entire game?
? u just click r and click w and run over a cliff into the stunner and ur officially the best hero in all of dota 2, hes tanky af and has a (three) FIVE TO EIGHT SECOND AOE SILENCE that he can move around to fuck people over, plus he does 99999 damage.
if ur buying blink or sb as an early item in most games ur wasting the heroes tankiness
js his teamfight is easily comparable to another offlaner like sven
Meepo. Then enemies pick 5 counters & you play him as a support, and they have no synergy. EZ WIN.
Lion is always safe to pick first. His gimmick is nothing special: a ton of nukes and a ton of disable.
