FOREWORD Top
THIS IS A GUIDE TO CATHERINE, THE MOST ******* ANNOYING LOCKDOWN/YELLOW OR RED/CRAZY MEDUSA ***** (AND SEXIEST) HERO OF ALL TIME.
THIS GUIDE IS OBVIOUSLY INSIPIRED BY CRIMSONQUESO OF THE DOTA 2 COMMUNITY
NOTE: PROFANITY INBOUND. IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED OR GREW UP IN THE 1960'S BAIL NOW
THIS GUIDE WILL BE RATHER SHORT AND CONCISE. YOU WILL FIND NO GIANT WALLS OF TEXT HERE. LET'S BE HONEST, NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO DEDICATE AN HOUR OF THEIR LIFE READING ABOUT A HERO THEY JUST WANT TO GET SLIGHTLY BETTER AT
ANOTHER NOTE: THREATS WILL BE FOUND IN A LATER CHAPTER, CALM YO TITS
EARLY GAME Top
TIME TO SELL YOUR SOUL TO SEMC.
ONE OUT OF THE THREE CONTRACTS + POTION + FLARE
BASICALLY, IRONGUARD = PASSIVE FARM JUNGLING
DRAGONBLOOD = BEAT THE **** OUT OF THEM EARLY (BUT ONLY IF YOUR JUNGLER DIDN'T BUY IT)
PROTECTOR = EITHER SITUATION ABOVE BUT YOU'RE SCARED THEY'RE BETTER AT BEATING THE **** OUT OF PEOPLE
IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PICK UP SOMETHING ELSE FOR 300 GOLD, GO AHEAD. CONTRACTS ARE PIECES OF **** BY ~5 MINS ANYWAYS.
"WTF FLARE?!" A FLARE IS USEFUL IF THE SCRUB ENEMY TEAM ATTEMPTS TO JUNGLE INVADE. ADDITIONALLY IF YOU WANT TO STEAL THE OUTER ENEMY CAMP IT'S GREAT AS WELL. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE FLARE FOR IF YOU DO I WILL SHOVE IT UP YOUR *** AND LIGHT IT
DO NOT GET THE LAST HIT BUT LET THE JUNGLER TANK. IF HE IS TOO STUPID TO DO THAT AND INSISTS ON GOING AWAY LIKE A SCRUB, JUST STAND THERE AND DO NOTHING WHILE HE CLEARS THE CAMPS. THAT WAY EVERYONE GETS THE MOOLAH
NOTE: MY STANDARD PRACTICE IS TO GANK ONCE THE JUNGLE HAS BEEN CLEARED. ALSO AFTER GANKING YOU MAY WANT TO INVADE (MORE ON THAT LATER).
ABOUT 5:00 Top
BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE CLEARED THE JUNGLE QUITE A FEW TIMES AND GANKED THE ENEMY LANER AT LEAST ONCE. LIFESPRING GIVES YOU SOME GOOD SUSTAIN
WHY GANK? GANKING IS AN OPTION FOR MOST SUPPORTS, BUT WITH CATHERINE YOU HAVE TO DO THIS OR YOU CRY YOUR *** TO SLEEP IN THE LATE GAME. BY GANKING YOU STACK CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD STACKS AND DENY THE ENEMY LANER FARM. THE LEAST YOU HAVE TO DO IS STACK YOUR PERK.
"BUT STACKING PERK IS 2 HARD"
**** YOU, I'VE PLAYED A GAME WITH 50+ STACKS, IT MAKES YOU TANKY AF, SO DO IT.
DO NOT FORGET SCOUT TRAPS. THEY ARE LIKE ILLUMINATI BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL-SEEING EYES. LIKE SERIOUSLY, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN THAT BASTARD TAKA IS VENTURING INTO YOUR SACRED TERRITORY. YOU CAN ALSO STUN THEM OVER A SCOUT TRAP FOR MAXIMUM SWAG.
YOU CAN, OF COURSE, BUY STORMGUARD BANNER. THIS WILL DELAY YOUR FOUNTAIN SPEED BUT IT INSTILLS YOU WITH THE POWER OF A RADICAL STORMGUARD.
MID GAME (8 MINUTES+) Top
ASK YOURSELF: ARE YOU PLAYING CATH?
YES: BUY FOUNTAIN + WAR TREADS
NO: WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE
IMMEDIATELY RUSH FOUNTAIN ASAP, IT'S THE BEST FIRST ITEM YOU CAN GET.
THEN WAR TREADS FOR THE SWEET UTILITY
"BUT I'M TOO NOOB TO KNOW HOW TO ACTIVATE THEM"
WHAT THE ****, YOU HAVE STORMGUARD DON'T YOU NOOB? THIS THING IS JUST BASICALLY THE SAME THING EXCEPT THAT IT'S A HEAL/IT MAKES YOUR TEAM GO USAIN BOLT
15 MINUTES ONWARD Top
YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL YOUR CORE ITEMS AS LISTED ABOVE. NOTE: VOID BATTERY CAN BE OPTIONAL BUT IT'S VERY USEFUL
NOW ASK YOURSELF THE HOLY QUESTIONS OF A SUPPORT:
IS THAT ******** KRUL/SAW WRECKING MY TEAM? GET ATLAS
CAN MY TEAM NOT CATCH FLEEING ENEMIES EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ****ING BOOTS, WARHORN AND A STUN? GET SHIVERSTEEL
IS MY TEAM GETTING ALL SORTS OF CROWD CONTROL ******** BEING HURLED AT THEM (COUGH ADAGIO)? GET CRUCIBLE
ARE MY CARRIES GOING DOUBLE WP BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COLLECTIVE BRAIN DISORDER? GET BONESAW
DO I NEED SOME SWEET BURST WITH MY STUN? GET AFTERSHOCK (ONLY DO THIS IF ALL OTHER COUNTER ITEMS ARE SET; THIS SUCKS IF YOU HAVEN'T COUNTER-BUILT YOUR ENEMY)
IS THAT ******* TAKA/KESTREL DISAPPEARING WHEN MY TEAM IS ABOUT TO KILL HIM AND I HAVE NO MORE SPACE LEFT? GET CONTRAPTION
IF YOU HAVE VOID BATTERY IT'S GENERALLY A GOOD IDEA TO BUILD INTO CLOCKWORK.
LIKE FFS IT'S ******* CHEAP. HOWEVER IF YOU PLAN ON BUYING MORE CD ITEMS IN THE FUTURE YOU CAN IGNORE THIS. YOU CAN ALSO BUY EVE
BUT I PREFER LESS CD RATHER THAN LIFESTEAL.
MAKE SURE TO USE THESE ITEMS TO HELP YOUR WEAK AND PUNY ALLIES
REMEMBER:
NEVER ****ING BUY METAL JACKET AND AEGIS. IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON TENSION BOW...WELL MAYBE I'll START ON IT LATER. STORMCROWN IS A NICHE ITEM FOR MID TO THE BEGINNING OF LATE GAME TO CHEESE STRAT THE HELL OUT OF YOUR OPPONENTS.
FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE THESE ITEMS ARE TIERED INTO WHAT YOU SHOULD GET:
- BALLER TIER
- GET LATER TIER
- NOTHING LEFT TO BUILD/STEAMROLLING/AGRESSIVE TIER
- CHEESE STRAT TIER
- UTTER **** TIER
- I'M COMING FOR YOU ****ING ****BAG
THE REAL SEXY BEGINS Top
YOU'VE COVERED ENOUGH **** TO PULL YOU OUT FROM ASK AGAIN LATER TO DECENT-ISH. BUT THAT WAS JUST THE BASIC STUFF. READ ON TO FIND OUT HOW TO UNLEASH YOUR FULL SUPPORT SEXY
HOW 2 SUPPORT Top
AS A SUPPORT, YOU NEED TO DO/HAVE THREE THINGS: GANKS, SCOUT TRAPS, AND MAP AWARENESS
FIRSTLY, YOU SHOULD BE GANKING. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE EITHER BLIND OR DIDN'T READ THE CHAPTERS ABOVE OR JUST HAVE A ****TY MEMORY. GANKING IS PRETTY EASY TBH. HERE'S HOW:
STEP 1: WAIT IN THE BRUSH LIKE A NINJA
STEP 2: WAIT TILL THEY COME CLOSER OR ATTACK YOUR LANER (THE SECOND ONE IS PREFERRED)
STEP 3: UNLEASH MERCILESS PURSUIT ON THE ENEMY'S ***. SURPRISE BUTTSEX!
OMG WTF HE TURNED INVISIBLE! YOU STUPID ****, THAT WAS TAKA/KESTREL. BRING FLARES YOU SCRUB
**** THE ENEMY TEAM APPEARED FROM THE BRUSH TOO DON'T PANIC AND PING YOUR TEAM TO ATTACK THE ONE YOU WANTED TO GANK. THE ENEMY IS MORE LIKELY TO FOCUS ON YOU AS YOU'RE IN FRONT. UNFORTUNATELY IF YOUR ALLIES HAVE NO BALLS (SORRY CELESTE) AND BAIL, DO THE SAME. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN A ****ING 1V3
****, IT'S SAW/VOX/ANY OTHER LANER WITH AN ESCAPE MECHANISM, HE RAN AWAY WITH THAT ******** KNIFE/DASH/WHATEVER THE HELL THEY USED NOTHING YOU CAN DO, BUT YOU GAVE HIM QUITE A ****LOAD OF DAMAGE. IN ANY CASE HE SHOULD TP BACK, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS DYING IN EARLY GAME
HE RAN PAST THE TURRET, HALP YOU IDIOT, AS THE TANKIEST ***** THE WORLD'S EVER SEEN, IT'S YOUR JOB TO TANK THE TURRET. TAKE A MAXIMUM OF 2 TURRET SHOTS BEFORE BACKING OFF, DON'T BE A ***** AND CRY FOR YOUR MOM THE MOMENT YOU SEE THE TURRET AGGRO.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE HAPPENED: STEP 3: GIVE A THUMBS UP, DON'T BE AN ***, BE POLITE AND EFFICIENT.
P.S. IF YOU DIDN'T KILL THE ENEMY LANER, YOU PROBABLY SUCK. HOWEVER IF ONE OF YOU DIED WHILE GANKING, YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. REREAD THE GUIDE AND DON'T OVEREXTEND LIKE A **** ON VIAGRA. OH AND DON'T FORGET TO IGNORE THE '?'.
LET'S MOVE ON TO SCOUT TRAPS. THESE ARE PRETTY SIMPLE TOO, JUST KEEP IN MIND: IT'S CALLED A SCOUT TRAP, NOT BLOW-UP-KILL-MAGIC-****. PUT THEM IN PLACES IN THE BRUSH WHERE ENEMIES USUALLY WON'T WALK OVER. OCCASIONALLY CHECK YOUR OWN JUNGLE FOR SCOUT TRAPS. PLANT SOME IN THE ENEMY'S JUNGLE TOO.
ALWAYS KEEP SOME WITH YOU, AND DON'T FORGET TO PUT ONE AT GOLD MINE/KRAKEN
MAP AWARENESS: K GOOD. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC IN BEING A SUPPORT. WITHOUT MAP AWARENESS YOU'RE JUST A USELESS SUPPORT WHO GETS THUMBS DOWNED EVERYTIME. BASICALLY, CHECK THE MAP EVERY 1-5 SECONDS. THIS WILL ENSURE YOU CAN REACT TO ENEMIES ****ING AROUND WITH YOUR JUNGLE OR AN ALLY BEING GANKED. IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THE LAST SEEN POSITION OF ENEMIES YOU HAVE VISION ON THROUGH SCOUT TRAPS.
ADDITIONALLY YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE YOUR ALLIES ARE (IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE A BIG DUMB****). WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? YOU NEED TO SEE IF THEY'RE BEING ATTACKED, AND IF THE ENEMY DECIDES TO GANK YOU (LIKE WHEN YOU'RE ALONE), YOU CAN
A: POP STORMGUARD
B: PING YOUR ALLIES AND SEE. IF THEY ARE TOO FAR AWAY RUN, BUT IF THEY'RE CLOSE, WASTE ALL THE OPPONENT'S COOLDOWNS SO YOUR CARRIES CAN SEND IN THE CAVALRY AND PUMMEL THEIR ***ES. THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE THOSE MOFOS ARE AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SHOULD CHECK THE MINIMAP YOU ARE A FAIL
HOW 2 SOLO 1V1 Top
WTF, YOU SHOULDN'T BE 1V1ING ANYONE. YOU SHOULD BE TRAVELLING WITH YOUR TEAM. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU STUMBLE UPON ONE, HOWEVER, STUN THE DUDE AND RUN. HE JUST GAVE YOU A FREE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD STACK AND PROBABLY DIDN'T GET A KILL THANKS TO STORMGUARD. SERIOUSLY THOUGH IF YOU FIGHT 1V1S ALL THE TIME YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG
NOTE: DON'T DO THIS IF YOU HAVE LIKE 100 HEALTH/ENERGY LEFT, FFS JUST RUN IF YOU'RE LOW, CATH ISN'T INVINCIBLE. YEAH I JUST ****ING SAID THAT NOW GET YOUR *** TO THE NEXT SECTION
HOW 2 TEAMFIGHT Top
1: BLAST TREMOR THEIR ***ES
2. STUN THE CARRY THAT IS MOST FED AND POP STORMGUARD (IF BOTH ARE EQUALLY FED, STUN THE ONE THAT WILL DEAL THE MOST BURST) AND KEEP SLICING THE DUDE WITH YOUR 50 DAMAGE SWORD.
3. APPLY FOUNTAIN/ATLAS/CRUCIBLE/BASICALLY ANY ITEM IF NECESSARY.
4. IF YOU'RE WINNING, WARHORN TO CHASE. IF YOU'RE GETTING REKT, WARHORN TOO, AND STUN ONE OF THEM AGAIN TO HINDER THEIR CHASE
IF YOU GUYS GOT GANKED IN A 3V3, THE SAME RULES APPLY, BUT ACTIVATE TREADS FIRST SO YOUR ALLIES CAN GET TO BETTER POSITIONING AND NOT GET REKT UNLESS YOUR CARRIES SUDDENLY EVAPORATED. IN THAT CASE JUST USE WARHORN TO RUN AWAY.
THAT'S WHY YOU BUY WAR TREADS SCRUBS
FAGS WHO YOU WILL FIGHT Top
ALL SITUATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE MEANT TO BE TEAMFIGHTS; THAT SHOULD BE THE ONLY BATTLE YOU'RE FIGHTING
IT IS ALSO ASSUMED THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING PLAYERS OF HIGH ABILITY AND A WORST-CASE SCENARIO WHEN YOU FACE THEM. DON'T TAKE EVERYTHING HERE WORD-FOR-WORD, EVEN IF THEY PICK A HERO WHICH I SAID IS DANGEROUS BUT IS FEEDING HARDER THAN AN ALASKAN 5-STAR BUFFET, THEY SUCK AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO **** YOUR PANTS WHEN YOU SEE THEM.
Spoiler: Click to view
THIS MOFO SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO **** TO YOU, BUT HIS ULTI AND SLOW IS REALLY GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR YOUR TEAMMATES. CRUCIBLE WHEN NECESSARY AND DON'T FORGET TO GANK AND STUN HIM. IF HE GOES BURST REMOVE HIM FIRST IN FIGHTS
Spoiler: Click to view
WTF YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE FOCUSING THE SUPPORT. BUT SERIOUSLY, BOTH OF YOUR SILENCES IS SO ****ING PAINFUL. THE FIRST CATH THAT USES THEIR SILENCE CORRECTLY WINS, SO MAKE SURE YOU POSITIONING ISN'T DOG**** AND TRY USING CRUCIBLE TO BLOCK HER ULT. NOTE: SOME CATHS WILL WALK OUT TO BAIT YOU GUYS TO WASTE ALL YOUR ABILITIES ON HER THEN PING HER ALLIES OVER. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS ****. FLARE UP WHEN YOU SEE HER WALKING BY HERSELF
Spoiler: Click to view
EARLY GAME THIS ***** WILL MURDER THE WOMEN AND MEN AND CHILDREN, BUT AS THE GAME GOES ON SHE BECOMES LESS DEADLY. STUNS AND SILENCES CAN EASILY BRING HER DOWN, BOTH OF WHICH YOU HAVE. THE ONLY REAL THING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS THE ULTI. IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO REFLEX BLOCK BLOCK HER ****TY CATNIP FRENZY FOR YOUR ALLIES
Spoiler: Click to view
THIS MOFO CAN'T DO **** WHEN HE'S SILENCED, BUT WHEN THE TEAMFIGHT DRAGS OUT TOO LONG HE WILL BE A PROBLEM. STUN, SILENCE, AND WATCH HIM CRY
Spoiler: Click to view
MAN, **** THIS GUY. HE POSES ALMOST NO THREAT TO YOU BUT HIS BURST CAN SCREW UP YOUR ALLIES. MAKE SURE YOU USE FOUNTAIN AND GET FLARES/CONTRAPTION ASAP TO COUNTER HIS SORRY ***. NOTE: SOME TAKAS WILL TRICK YOU BY RUNNING BEHIND YOU WHEN ACTIVATING THEIR KAKU TO FLEE. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.
Spoiler: Click to view
THIS BUFF-*** TIGER IS QUITE A COMPLICATED MATCHUP. IF HE DECIDES TO GO WP LIKE A FOOL AGAINST YOU JUST STUN AND ATLAS PAULDRON. A CP GLAIVE MAY POSE SOME PROBLEMS HOWEVER. CP GLAIVES ARE LIKE TAKAS, THEY AFTERBURN INTO YOUR ****, BLOODSONG YOU TO HELL AND AFTERBURN AWAY. KNOW WHERE HE IS AT ALL TIMES. USE FOUNTAIN TO SAVE YOUR WEAK AND PUNY ALLIES. NOTE: SOME GLAIVES WILL GO FOR A ROAMER BUILD. THAT POSES SOME PROBLEMS TOO. BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE THINK HE IS A CARRY THEY WILL FOCUS HIM, THE TANK. PING YOUR ALLIES TO ATTACK THEIR CARRIES INSTEAD
Spoiler: Click to view
NOT A PROBLEM, THOUGH EARLY HE MIGHT BE A PAIN. CP SAW CAN'T DO **** AGAINST YOU. EVEN THOUGH HE HAS CRAZY DAMAGE, YOUR SILENCE AND STUN WILL PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY. WP SAW IS NOT COOL BUT JUST GO UP TO HIM, SHOVE YOUR SWORD INTO HIS ANAL CAVITY AND ACTIVATE ATLAS. ALSO HE HAS 8 ****ING ARMOUR AT THE START, GANK HIM LIKE HELL
Spoiler: Click to view
THE PINNACLE OF ANNOYING *****ES TO YOU. IF HE GOES ROAM/CP HIS HEAL AND BUFF WILL HURT YOU GUYS. A LOT. CP ADAGIO ATTACKING YOUR ALLIES WITH AGENT OF WRATH + YOU GUYS ON ARCANE FIRE = ****. WP ADAGIO IS NOT COMMON, BUT THAT'S HIS EASIEST BUILD TO COUNTER. DEAL WITH HIM LIKE RINGO. HIS ULTI STINGS. STUN HIM WHEN HE'S CHANNELING. IF YOU CAN'T DO SO ACTIVATE CRUCIBLE. IF HE STARTS OUT AS LANER GANK HIS *** AT LEAST 4 TIMES
Spoiler: Click to view
YOU MURDERED IRON MAN'S WAIFU, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO MURDER HIM. UNLIKE YOU HE'S VULNERABLE TO LARGE BURSTS OF DAMAGE. HIS VANGUARD IS QUITE ANNOYING BUT YOU SHOULD BE FINE. HIS ULT WILL BE A ****ING HELL ARENA THO, CRUCIBLE YOUR TEAM OUT WITH WARHORN. IF YOUR ALLIES ARE TOO STUPID TO RUN OUT WHEN YOU ACTIVATE CRUCIBLE, IT'S THEIR OWN FAULT. OTHER THAN THAT JUST FOCUS THE CARRIES AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE
Spoiler: Click to view
I'D LOVE TO SAY HE'S GREAT, BECAUSE HE HAS ALL THE DJ SWAG, BUT MAN IS THIS ****ER ANNOYING. IF HE'S WP HE CAN BURST YOU GUYS DOWN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WITH HIS ZOOM. IF HE'S CP VOX HIS ULT WILL HURT LIKE AIDS. SPREAD OUT, SILENCE HIM. ATLAS MAY NOT WORK BECAUSE OF HIS ******** ZOOM, SO CAPITALIZE ON FOUNTAIN. HIS WEAKNESS IS HIS RANGE, AND EARLY GAME. GANK HIM EVERY SINGLE DAY TILL YOU GET THE DOLLA
Spoiler: Click to view
ARDAN'S ***** OF A DAUGHTER WON'T FIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN IF SHE'S SMART. SHE'LL STAND BEHIND HER TANK AND DEAL AN INSANE BURST OF DAMAGE FROM AFAR - BUT 2 THINGS, 1. SHE NEEDS TO BE FED. SO GANK HER SORRY ***. 2. SHE'S THE SQUISHIEST HERO IN THE WHOLE ****ING GAME. MAKE SURE YOUR ALLIES CONCENTRATE ON HER AND EXTINGUISH HER. USE CRUCIBLE WHEN SHE USES SOLAR STORM TO NEGATE SOME DAMAGE IF YOUR ALLIES ARE ON MEDIUM-LOW HEALTH. REFLEX BLOCK IS USELESS IN THIS SITUATION WHEN YOUR ALLIES ARE MAX HEALTH. GENERALLY IF SHE LANDS HER STUN, YOUR TEAM IS SCREWED
Spoiler: Click to view
LOL THIS MECHA NERD. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MUCH PROBLEM FACING HER, BUT ALWAYS BUY BONESAW WHEN AGAINST THIS PUNK. THE 150 ADDITIONAL ARMOR IS ****ING OP. IF SHE IS WP JOULE THE THUNDER STRIKE WILL HURT. REMEMBER TO BUY ATLAS AGAINST HER UNLESS SHE HAS NO ATTACK SPEED. CP JOULE IS EZ. JUST GET IN HER WAY WITH STORMGUARD WHEN FIRING BIG RED BUTTON, THEY WILL BE MAD
Spoiler: Click to view
HAHAHAHA, THIS FLOWER ***** IS GONNA GET REKT. THE PETS ARE ANNOYING BUT WHO CARES, YOU'RE THE TANK. STUN HER AND THEN SILENCE TO PREVENT HER FROM USING HER ULT. SINCE SHE HAS ZERO WAYS OF ESCAPE OTHER THAN THAT STUPID PINK FLOWER OF HERS, GANK HER SEVERAL TIMES. JUST BEWARE THAT HER RANGE WILL ALLOW HER TO STAND BACK AT HER TURRET AND FARM LIKE A *****. ALSO CONSTANTLY CLEAR HER FLOWERS
Spoiler: Click to view
NOT COOL. HER SLOW IS GENERALLY UNAVOIDABLE, BUT WHAT REALLY GRINDS YOUR GEARS IS HER ULT. IT ****ING HURTS. SILENCE HER SO SHE CAN'T USE IT FIRST, BUT SAVE YOUR STUN SO YOU CAN CANCEL IT. IF SHE'S SMART SHE'LL USE REFLEX BLOCK. IN THAT CASE USE WARHORN TO EVACUATE YOUR TEAMMATES FROM THIS *****, AND USE STORMGUARD TO REFLECT THE DAMAGE
Spoiler: Click to view
NOT COOL EITHER. HIS BURN GOES UNDER YOUR STORMGUARD AND HIS ABILITIES HURT SO ******* BAD. HIS PEAK IS LATE GAME SO GANK HIM A LOT. WHEN CHANNELING HIS ULTI, STUN HIM OR USE WARHORN TO GET AWAY IF HE USED REFLEX BLOCK. LUCKILY FOR YOU HE'S REALLY DAMN SQUISHY. FOCUS HIM FIRST UNLESS THERE'S ANOTHER CARRY WHO'S MORE FED
Spoiler: Click to view
THE BLEED IS TROUBLESOME, AND SO IS THE MORTAL WOUND. THE PACK WILL REVEAL YOUR GANKS. HE WILL CONSTANTLY INVADE THANKS TO HIS EARLY GAME PROWESS, BUT REMEMBER: HE IS MORE OF AN INITIATOR THAN A SUPPORT. HE CANNOT SAVE HIS ALLIES EARLY GAME FROM CERTAIN DEATH UNLESS HE'S LIKE A ****ING GOD OR SOMETHING (WHICH WON'T HAPPEN). STUN HIM IN EARLY GAME AND FOCUS ON THE CARRY. ADDITIONALLY IF YOUR LANER IS MAP AWARE AND COMES DOWN TO HELP, YOU'VE SEALED THIS DOG'S FATE. LATE GAME JUST DON'T GIVE A **** ABOUT HIM AND GO ON THE CARRIES. HE DOESN'T HAVE A STUN ANYWAY.
Spoiler: Click to view
WHEN YOU PLAY AGAINST SKYE, PRAY THAT THE DUDE WAS THINKING 'lol mecha b00bs' WHEN HE BOUGHT HER. IF SO HE'S GOING TO GET REKT. IF IT'S A KOREAN HOWEVER YOU CARRIES ARE ****ED. THE DAMAGE IS ****ING INSANE. BLOCK HER BARRAGE FOR YOUR TEAM AT ALL TIMES, AND CRUCIBLE HER ULT. LUCKILY FOR YOU YOUR STUN AND SILENCE TURNS HER INTO ABSOLUTE ****, MAKE USE OF THAT AND GANK HER A LOT.
Spoiler: Click to view
USE FOUNTAIN + WARHORN AGAINST HIM WHEN YOUR ALLY IS SNAGGED, FOR ONE. ADDITIONALLY THIS GUY IS A STATIONARY ASSASSIN. HE WILL HIDE IN BUSHES LIKE A CREEPY PEDO AND HOOK YOUR CARRY BACK. MAKE SURE YOU USE FLARES AND HAVE ADEQUATE VISION AGAINST HIM. JUST NEVER TRY TO STUN HIM IN TEAMFIGHTS, PLS
Spoiler: Click to view
FROM WHAT I KNOW THIS PRINCESS PEDOPHILE'S ULT IS DEVASTATING BECAUSE HE GAINS 300 SHIELD AND ARMOR DURING THE PROCESS AND IS UNABLE TO BE DISABLED MAKING YOUR TEAM'S ATTACKS SEEM LIKE POTATO SHOTS. HE IS VERY RELIANT ON HIS ABILITIES; SILENCE HIM, BURST HIM DOWN, AND CALL THE COPS TO ARREST THIS CHILD PREDATOR. GANK HIM IN THE LANE A ****TON, HE HAS A ****TY EARLY GAME. ALSO SUPPORT BF IS ACTUALLY REALLY ****ING OP, LIKE GLAIVE ALL YOUR CLUELESS CARRIES THINK HE'S ONE OF THOSE IMBECILE CRYSTAL BLACKFEATHERS, THEY ALL CONCENTRATE HIM AND ****ING CELESTE GIVES YOU A LOBOTOMY. DON'T FALL FOR THAT ********
Spoiler: Click to view
WELL **** IT'S THAT ARCHER ***** WHO HAS PERMA INVISIBILITY IF SHE GOES CP AND CRAZY SUSTAIN DAMAGE WHEN GOING WP. VERY TROUBLESOME MATCHUP. BASICALLY YOU WANT TO HAVE VISION ALL OVER THE PLACE SO SHE CAN'T ADVANCE FROM A TACTICAL LOCATION TO SNIPE YOU GUYS. ALWAYS BODY BLOCK HER ULT IF YOU CAN. YOU MAY WANT TO PICK UP AN AFTERSHOCK FOR SOME ADDITIONAL BURST. AND DON'T FORGET TO GANK HER EARLY. ATLAS IS RECOMMENDED AGAINST WP KESTREL SINCE HER PERK GIVES HER ATTACK SPEED LIKE SHE'S SAW. SILENCE TO PREVENT HER FROM USING HER ULT
Spoiler: Click to view
****ING OLD MEN WITH GIANT BEARDS THAT CASTRATE LEOPARDS? NO THANKS. HIS POKE IS ENORMOUS AND HIS DAMAGE OUTPUT CAN BE CANCEROUS. AVOID NARROW CHOKEPOINTS WHERE HE CAN HIT YOU GUYS WITH HIS ABILITIES AND ROOT YOU. YOU WILL WANT TO GET CRUCIBLE TO BLOCK HIS ULT. DON'T FORGET TO SILENCE HIM, **** THOSE ICE MISSILES.
Spoiler: Click to view
DAMN THIS MONKEY IS SLIPPERY AS ****. BUT WHAT DOES HE NEED TO BE ALL SLIPPERY AND MORE LUBED UP LIKE THAT GIANT *** RING HE HAS? THAT'S RIGHT, ABILITIES, AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE? A SILENCE. SO SILENCE HIS BABOON *** AND BEAT HIM DOWN HARD. IF HE'S GOING FULL-*** SKILLEX BANGARANG YOU MAY WANT TO ATTEMPT TO STUN HIM
Spoiler: Click to view
STANDARD CLICHE "USED TO BE YOUR ALLY" ********. WHEN THIS MICHEAL BAY ***** CHARGES IN LIKE AN IDIOT STUN HER AND BEAT THE **** OUT OF HER WITH YOUR TEAM. SILENCE HER SO SHE CAN'T USE HER ULT AND IF SHE DOES USE WARHORN TO EVACUATE YOUR TEAM. ALSO DON'T BE AFRAID OF TAKING HER DOWN WHEN SHE'S REVIVING, IT MAKES NO ****ING SENSE, SHE HAS LIKE 1500 HEALTH. IT'S SO EASY TO KILL HER
Spoiler: Click to view
LOL, THIS GUY. TOSS HIM BACK TO GYTHIA OR WHEREVER THE **** HE CAME FROM BY SILENCING HIM. BECAUSE HIS LONG *** POLE IS NOT COOL FOR YOUR TEAM AND WILL PISS THE **** OUT OF EVERYONE. SILENCE AND USE THOSE 3.5 SECONDS TO TAKE HIS CARRIES DOWN ASAP. FINISH HIM ONLY WHEN ALL OTHER ENEMY CARRIES ARE DOWN UNLESS YOU WANT HIM TO SHRUG OFF ALL THE **** YOU THROW AT HIM LIKE IT'S NOTHING.
Spoiler: Click to view
UGHHHH THIS WOMAN. FIRST ASCERTAIN HER ROLE? IS SHE THERE TO LAUNCH FLYING MISSILES OF CANCER AT YOUR TEAM? OR IS SHE THERE TO HELP HER WEAK-*** ALLIES LIKE YOU? FOR THE FORMER, SILENCE AND STUN AND BEAT THE **** OUT OF HER IMMEDIATELY. FOR THE LATTER, YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL. MAKE SURE YOU SILENCE HER, BUT IN THAT SHORT PERIOD OF TIME YOU MUST TAKE CARE OF HER CARRIES SOMEHOW. IF YOU ARE UNLUCKY AS **** AND THE SILENCE WEARS OFF, PREPARE CRUCIBLE BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO DO SOME ******ED BLACK MAGIC TO MAKE YOUR ALLIES SUFFER.
Spoiler: Click to view
CREEPY GOTH *****TAIN. FIRST ABILITY ARE MISSILES, SECOND IS A FIELD OF ABSOLUTE CANCER AND HIS ULTIMATE IS GAY AS HELL. ALL OF THEM CAN SCREW YOUR TEAM. SO WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU SILENCE HIM, YOU USE YOUR SHIELD, AND YOU POP HIM LIKE A CHERRY BECAUSE HE'S SO DAMN SQUISHY.
FAGS WHO WILL BE ON YOUR TEAM Top
WHY DOES THIS SECTION EVEN ****ING EXIST? YOU HAVE THE SAME JOB NO MATTER WHAT HERO IT IS: STUN, TANK, HEAL UTILITY, WHATEVER THE **** YOU NEED TO DO. UNLESS YOUR TEAM IS GOING FULL SUPPORT FOR A YOUTUBE VIDEO - IN THAT CASE BUILD 6 SERPENT MASKS. MOTHER OF GOD IT REALLY WORKS
I WAS JUST KIDDING. IF YOU DO THAT I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL REPORT YOU TO HELL./color]
EARLY GAME INVADES Top
THESE ARE NOT COMMON AT LOWER TIERS BUT AT HIGHER SKILL LEVELS THIS CAN DECIDE THE FATE OF A GAME IN A MERE ****ING MINUTE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, SO UNDERSTAND HOW DEVASTATING THEY ARE. IF YOU WIN AN INVADE IMMEDIATELY START CLEARING THEIR JUNGLE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY PLACING SCOUT TRAPS. I DON'T GIVE A **** HOW BADLY YOU NEED LIFESPRING, DO IT. BY SECURING VISION OF THE ENEMY'S JUNGLE YOU HAVE SEALED THEIR FATE.
IF YOUR TEAM GOES FOR AN INVADE BE SURE TO HELP THEM TANK. USE YOUR STUN AS PER NORMAL TO SECURE KILLS. THERE'S NO ONE ELSE WHO CAN SO EASILY STUN THOSE **********ERS IN THE EARLY GAME.
SOME HEROES CAN **** UP GAMES EARLY ON THANKS TO THEIR STRENGTH EARLY ON, ALSO KNOWN AS "EARLY GAME HEROES". IF TWO OR MORE SUCH HEROES ARE PUT TOGETHER, PREPARE FOR THE WORST. USE YOUR FLARE AND SEE IF THEY'RE CROSSING THEIR TRIBUSH. IF THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY PING YOUR LANER TO HELP. IF HE DOESN'T AND YOU GUYS DIE, TRY TO TAKE THEIR FIRST TOWER LATER ON. IF THAT FAILS TOO, THEY'RE GOING TO SNOWBALL. READ ON BELOW TO FIND OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT
THESE ARE THE EARLY-GAME HEROES:
BASICALLY, THERE ARE A FEW GROUND RULES WHEN INVADING:
-YOUR TEAM HAS AN ITEM LEAD
-YOUR TEAM HAS A LEVEL LEAD
-YOUR TEAM HAS THOSE EARLY GAME HEROES
NOTE: ESPECIALLY SKAARF AND RONA - THESE TWO HEROES CAN REALLY **** YOUR EARLY GAME. IF THEY'RE MATCHED WITH FORTRESS PRAY THEY DON'T INVADE
ANOTHER NOTE: WITH THE STATE OF THE GAME RIGHT NOW IT MIGHT NOT BE WISE TO INVADE FROM THE START. TRY CLEARING JUNGLE ONCE, GANKING, THEN INVADING AS 3. EVEN IF THE GANK DOESN'T WORK YOU SHOULD'VE CREATED SOME DELICIOUS SPACE FOR YOU GUYS TO **** THEIR JUNGLE OVER.
HOW TO RECOVER FROM SNOWBALLS Top
SOMETIMES YOU GET INVADED SO HARD THEIR SUPPORT HAS LIKE 10 KILLS IN 5 MINUTES. BY THIS TIME THEY SHOULD BE SNOWBALLING UNCONTROLLABLY AND WRECKING YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
THERE'S AN EASY FIX FOR THIS: YOU NEED VISION AND NOT-SO-DUMB ALLIES. BASICALLY, NEVER FIGHT WITH THEM. PASSIVELY FARM UNTIL YOU AMASS GOLD. PLACE LOTS OF SCOUT TRAPS, BE CAREFUL OF EVERY SINGLE BRUSH EVEN IF IT SEEMS SAFE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A PONYTAIL-WEARING PEDOPHILE STARTS SCATTERING ROSES AROUND.
PING THE **** OUT OF YOR ALLIES TO STAND NEAR THE TOWER WHEN LANING AND SPAM THOSE CAUTION PINGS TILL THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE A ****ING CONSTRUCTION SITE WHEN YOU SEE AN ENEMY.
GET FOUNTAIN ASAP SO YOU CAN FIGHT, DON'T THINK ABOUT WARHORN.
NO TENSION BOW, REPORT Top
VS
SO WHY IS TENSION BOW THE BIGGEST PIECE OF **** TO EVER BEFALL CATHERINE PLAYERS? I SEE WAY TOO MANY ******S RUSHING TB, TRYING TO ACT LIKE A BALLER AND GETTING ****ED STRAIGHT UP THE *** THAT I DEDICATED ONE WHOLE CHAPTER TO THIS
LET'S COMPARE TB TO AFTERSHOCK, THE OTHER BURST DAMAGE ITEM WE CAN GO FOR.
IS TB'S PIERCE SHARED?
NO
IS THE BURST BASED ON MAX HEALTH?
NO
DOES IT GIVE YOU LIFESTEAL OFF THE BURST?
NO
IS IT REFRESHED EVERY 2 SECONDS?
NO
DOES IT GIVE YOU CD ACCELERATION/ENERGY RECHARGE?
HELL ****ING NO
THERE YOU GO. IF I EVER CATCH ANYONE RUSHING TB ON CATH I WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET TB (TUBERCULOSIS. DUH)
FAQ (FUCK) Top
"WHAT THE **** NO METAL JACKET AND AEGIS? NOOOOOOOB" YOU'RE THE ****ING NOOB HERE FOR THINKING THAT. THEY ONLY PROVIDE BENEFITS TO THE OWNER AND YOUR ******* JOB IS TO MAKE SURE YOUR ALLIES DON'T DIE, NOT YOU.
CLOCKWORK IS THE BEST YOU ****HEAD I USED TO GET IT NEARLY EVERY GAME I PLAYED. HOWEVER WITH THE CHANGES NOW I DON'T THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY GREAT. CONTRAPTION ALREADY PROVIDES THE SAME CD REDUCTION. COUPLE THAT WITH AFTERSHOCK AND MAYBE STORMCROWN AND YOU ARE A HELL OF A BALLER. WAR TREADS SAVED A SPACE FOR WARHORN SO THIS IS EASILY FEASIBLE. 25% MORE CP SOUNDS GOOD, BUT YOU WON'T REALLY NEED IT IF THE GAME GOES NORMALLY.
"THE FLARE GUN SEEMS PRETTY RAD WHY AIN'T YOU GETTING IT" REALLY? YOU WANT A PIECE OF **** THAT HAS A ****ING 20 SECOND COOLDOWN? HELL NO, JUST BUY FLARES LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.
"WHAT DO I DO WHEN I ENGAGE A SHOGUN RINGO OR TAKA?" GET UP, GIVE THEM THE MIDDLE FINGER AND SAY "**** YOU WEEABOO JONES, I'M FROM FAMILY GUY"
"WHAT HAPPENS IF I SEE AN ALLY BEING CHASED?"
STUN THEM AND BACK OFF. RISK YOUR LIFE IF YOU HAVE TO. YOUR UNFORTUNATE MEASLY SUPPORT LIFE IS WORTH FAR LESS THAN A CARRY'S. REMEMBER: SPAM CAUTION PINGS TO GET YOUR ALLY TO GTFO ONCE YOU'VE STUNNED THEM, 9/10 CARRIES WILL RE-ENGAGE AND DIE A ****TY DEATH.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE AFTERSHOCK WHY BUY IT?
IT'S TRUE, I'M NOT A FAN OF BURST, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NECESSARY. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR TEAM IS BASED AROUND SUSTAIN DAMAGE E.G. CELESTE/SKAARF. BUILDING AS FOR THE BURST CAN BE CRUCIAL AS IT PANICS YOUR ENEMY WHEN THEY GET THE BURST DAMAGE.
ADDITIONALLY WHEN FACING TANKY SUSTAIN HEROES LIKE KRUL WITH BREAKING POINT YOUR TEAM IS GOING TO
NEED THE BURST IF THEY HAVE NONE. BUYING AFTERSHOCK WHEN SNOWBALLING IS ALSO RECOMMENDED
SHOULD I USE MY ULT TO PICK OFF LOW-HEALTH HEROES? MAYBE. IN THE EARLY GAME THIS IS OKAY ONLY IF YOU'RE KILLING THEIR CARRY. THERE'S NO POINT IN USING A 100+ SECOND CD ULT ON A SUPPORT. ALSO IF YOU KNOW A BIG TEAMFIGHT MAY COME (E.G. TEAMFIGHT FOR GOLD MINE) YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. SILENCES ARE ****ING OP, MAKE USE OF THEM.
NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT HEROES GO WELL WITH ME? SIGH. IT'S REALLY OBVIOUS BUT ANY SKILLSHOT HERO WILL THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THEIR ENEMIES IN PLACE. ALSO HEROES WITH STUNS CAN FOLLOW UP AFTER MERCILESS PURSUIT. MAKES FOR GREAT MVP MATERIAL, UNLESS THEY'RE ******ED AND STACK THE STUNS ALL AT ONCE.
CAN I HAZ REPLAYS? GO WATCH VIPL, DUH
"AM I A BALLER?" ARE YOU MAXED OUT ITEM-WISE?
"I FOLLOWED YOUR GUIDE AND DIDN'T WIN" BLAME YOUR TEAM
unless you were the one at fault scrub. stop blaming other people and get a life
"WTF YOU BROKE THE CAPS LOCK CHAIN" ****TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"WAIT YOU ACTUALLY BROKE IT WHEN TALKING ABOUT SKYE"
