Unsung heroes of Dota 2: Warlock

Dota 2’s character roster can be intimidating, even after hundreds of games. It’s easy to settle into the same familiar picks, and fear of falling deeper into the trench can prevent new and intermediate players from experimenting with lesser-seen heroes or new roles. In this series, we’re going to highlight a hero that you might not be playing as much as you should: someone with a strong win-rate but low pick-rate. In short, an unsung hero of Dota 2.

This week, that’s Warlock. According to Dotabuff, Dota 2’s grimoire-obsessed demon-wizard is picked in only 4.6% of games despite enjoying a healthy 54.99% win-rate: the 11th highest in the game. He plays very differently to our last unsung hero, Omniknight, but some of the reasoning for his low popularity is the same. Warlock is typically played in the support role, has huge potential game impact, but his unusual skills fall outside of traditional archetypes. He’s weird, requires good judgement, but is deadly in the right hands.

What does Warlock do?

Warlock is an intelligence ranged hero most commonly played as a support. His abilities provide strong harass and lane support as well as potentially-huge teamfight impact.

Fatal Bonds (Q) is cast on a single enemy, at which point it ‘binds’ them to a number of nearby units. When a bound unit takes damage, 25% of that damage is shared to all other bound units. In lane, this can be used to clear creep waves quickly or to harass an enemy hero by forcing them to share damage with their creeps: but doing so will push the lane, and potentially steal farm from a core hero. In teamfights, Fatal Bonds should be used at the beginning to maximise its impact. It has a huge cast range, so you don’t need to endanger yourself to get it off. If you know that a distant low-health enemy is under the effects of Fatal Bonds, hit any other affected unit to finish them off.

Shadow Word (W)is a single-target spell that heals friendlies and damages enemies over time. At max level it does 495 damage/healing over its full 11-second duration, which is significant if you choose to max it first. Most players will underestimate just how much it does, either not realising how much health you or an ally stand to regain or falling too low to stay in lane during the early game. In a teamfight, Shadow Word on a single enemy plus Fatal Bonds on the entire enemy team amounts to 990 distributed damage (before magic resistance) that can be guaranteed before the fight has properly begun.

Upheaval (E) is a channeled slow that affects a huge radius and can be cast from very far away. This is Warlock’s hardest spell to use effectively, but potentially his most deadly. The slow increases the longer it is channeled, up to a massive 84%. At max level, it reaches that point after three and a half seconds. Warlock has a bunch of ‘fire and forget’ spells for a reason: once his other three abilities have been used at the start of a teamfight, you should be able to position yourself to channel Upheaval for as long as possible. The enemy team should find themselves bound together, ticking down, and stuck in a quagmire.

Why Warlock?

The main reason to play Warlock is the way he pronounces the word ‘grimoire’ (warning: volume.) Nobody is prouder of anything than Warlock is of his grimoire. Back when I used to work on PC Gamer magazine, I could only dream of packing as many additional vowels into the word ‘magazine’ as he gets into ‘grimoire’. Come for the teamfight impact; stay for the grrrrlllleamwhaaaaaaaooure.

He’s unusual, which is a blessing and a curse

It takes time and effort to unpick how Warlock’s abilities fit together, and their optimal usage will still be slightly different in every scenario. Enemy positioning and team composition, where a fight takes place, the relative advantage of your team—all of this matters. That’s the downside. On the upside, with the exception of his ult his impact is relatively subtle. He’s not firing off lasers like Lion or Lina: he’s at the back, channelling the slow that is getting everybody killed. He’s wearing down your offlaner with Fatal Bonds or Shadow Word. He’s off behind a tree, micro-managing the Golem that’s tearing down your middle lane. Played right, Warlock gets to slip into the shadows ignored: exactly where he wants to be.

His potential damage output is colossal

Despite his relatively subtlety, ignoring Warlock is a huge mistake. Good teams will kill or chain-silence him right at the start of a fight, because if he gets the opening he wants then his damage output will build and build. First comes Fatal Bonds, Chaotic Offering, and possibly Shadow Word. Then comes the reliable Pure damage nukes from the Golem, split between the enemy team, a threat that you ignore at your peril. And if you do manage to focus the Golem down, that provides time for Warlock’s allies to land free hits—hits that, once again, will be spread through Fatal Bonds, and so on.

He determines the pace of teamfights

This makes Warlock a character that you have to control, and this in turn gives him a degree of power over the pace of a teamfight. This, I suspect, is the reason for his win-rate in pub games: like Silencer he needs to be played around, and can catch teams completely off-guard in they fail to account for him. The exception to this rule is his vulnerability when he’s on his own: gankers like Nyx Assassin completely tear him apart, and he’s terrible against current meta favourite Broodmother. Fatal Bonds can do work against Spiderlings, but Warlock’s worst nightmare is a character he can’t hide from.

Items to consider

As a support, expect to buy the Courier, Flying Courier, and lots of Observer and Sentry Wards. You’ll be the one to get Smoke of Deceit and Dust of Appearance, too. You know the drill by now. Warlock can run into mana problems early, so Arcane Boots and a Magic Wand are both common early solutions to that problem. If there isn’t anyone else on the team suited to it, Warlock makes a good Mekansm and ultimately Guardian Greaves carrier—his Golem can benefit from the aura and healing too. If playing Warlock as a core or you’re pulling in plenty of gold, Aghanim’s Scepter and Refresher Orb are natural item progressions for him. The former causes Chaotic Offering to summon two Golems instead of just one, and the latter allows you to potentially drop it twice. That’s four Golems! This is called ‘going full boyband’ by nobody in particular.

Dota Lore Spotlight #15 – Ogre Magi

GamingHistoria Bumbles onto the Scene with Another Lore Spotlight

There is no doubt about the fact that the world of Dota 2 is rich in truly incredible minds. Whether it be the brilliant Keenfolk engineers and scientists, or the genius mages that roam the Fields of Endless Carnage, there’s obviously a plethora of highly intelligent creatures in this expansive universe. But on the other side, there’s also representation when it comes to creatures who are thoroughly lacking in these respects.

When it comes to the universe of Dota 2, one is often prone to taking pity on some of the more inept creatures that roam the lands. As is the case in the real world, there is no shortage of harmless critters and bulkier livestock that have very little to boast of when it comes to intelligence, not that it lessens their worth to the civilizations that find a way to make use of them.

But not all stupid creatures are harmless. In the world of Dota 2, there is one species that finds itself walking a very thin line between humanoid and animalistic, purely due to their severely reduced intelligence – the ogres. The ogres are technically humanoid – they walk upright on two legs, they communicate verbally in established languages, and they’ve been known to fashion tools and clothing from raw materials (although this often happens by accident).

However, they’ve also been known to be dumber than a bag of rock hammers. The ogres are supremely inept, as proven by their tendency to drape themselves in dirt, or try to mate with especially curvy pieces of stone or wood. This latter activity is actually the cause of the ogres low rate of reproduction. So, as you can see, the common ogre is no intellectual.

There is however one exception to the rule, when it comes to ogres and their intellect. Once every generation, a truly exceptional ogre is born. This ogre is born with two heads, and is automatically given the name of Aggron Stonebreak. Seeing as this ogre is born with two heads, it can naturally boast of having twice the intelligence of a common ogre – which adds up to about the same amount of brain power as a relatively dumb human.

This Ogre Magi is however not revered only for its “intellect” – Aggron Stonebreak is born under the grace of the gods, and is for this reason blessed with a quality that allows it to function at a higher level than is expected when it comes to ogres, even the two-headed ones.

This quality is known as Dumb Luck, and it is exactly what it sounds like. The Ogre Magi is blessed with extraordinary luck, which is pretty much the reason the ogre race has managed to make it this far in life. Some theories believe that the goddess of luck herself has taken pity on this bumbling, two-headed creature because of its immense ineptitude – whatever the reason may be, the Ogre Magi might not be an intellectual force to be reckoned with, but with a dumb stroke of luck, they’re likely to come out on top anyways.

Why is DOTA 2 community so bad?

Why is this community so volatile, so to speak? Is there something that can be done to try and curb the bad manners? What about having to actually buy the game but to play is free?

You just read my mind. I had one of my best Pudge game yesterday. Went 20-5 in 25 min of gameand i could literally wipe out their entire team because they were underfed, but in the end we still lost. Why? because I had 2 (Clinkz and SM) teammates who both contributed nothing to the team but still complain all game. All i was trying to do was get the team together to push and win. But they just started cussing and complain more. Furthermore 1 feed and other went afk. good thing i reported 1 and the other got abbdon for afk. Would have been a really good game if they weren’t all bitching entrie game. sigh

It’s not? Why not go ahead and suggest something instead of just creating a shit thread. Oh and to give Mvstery an answer: Dunning-Kruger effect.

The community isn’t particularly bad, people just become annoyed when they lose games because of inadequate teammates. It’s only natural and shouldn’t be censored.

Discussing the business model or the community isn’t exactly a feedback.

Because wc3 accounts could be made in under 5 seconds lol

And Dota 2 no? I have 20 invites = 20 accounts easy peasy. A report should be ban access to game; maybe something like you can only watch games for 24 h and the game shouldnt be free.

Ok sorry about that, I forgot to mention that I am brand new to DOTA and have been doing a lot of forum reading. A lot of what I read is “the DOTA community is bad, that there is a lot of bad mannered people that play this game”.

And I hate to point out but you are actually the type of people they talk about. You posted in my thread with all sorts of bad manners, calling this a “shit thread”. It’s a serious question and why not try to improve the gaming community of a good game?

Anyway, even if you posted that for the sole reason that I needed to clarify my OP, it’s still unacceptable for you to behave like that.

Many are pretentious due to mental bias and a perception that “pub = bad”

Yes dota 2 community can be though to newcomers what i feel from the start is that devs or they don’t listen or they don’t care about what the community thinks. the subject of banning people is so old that i can’t even remember when it started. we want more severe bans. but still devs invented some mute and some other stuff but they actually improved a little.

In tournaments you can forfeit games in actual games we can’t. i can’t get why. rules should be the same everywhere. or they aren’t rules. so what happens? ppl leave others go afk. and the rest that are trying to make a good game get pissed ofc.

Well thats it!
Welcome to dota 2 lol

A Gu >By eggs on Jan 23, 2016 17:27 UTC

Lack of coordination, impaired judgment, shortened attention span, narrower field of vision, and a tendency towards regretful decision making are some consequences of alcohol, but they aren’t too far off from resembling a beginner at Dota. List of dota 2 heroes unreleased hockey New players stalk around the map, aimlessly fumbling their spells.

While alcohol can significantly hamper your ability to do just about anything, it has some unheralded benefits when it comes to Dota. List of dota 2 heroes unreleased hockey Increased confidence, sociability, and decreased anxiety are also sound principles for playing well. In some ways, the criteria for picking a hero to play while inebriated is fine advice for the average Dota player.

How To Pick A Decent Hero

For example, one, would be do no harm. Do not choose a hero where unguided decisions can potentially turn a team fight. This category includes heroes with spells that can be detrimental to your team, such as Faceless Void, Tusk, Pudge. An errant Chronosphere, Snowball or Hook is a quick ticket to a Top Fails video.

Two, keep it simple. There’s no need to play Chen or Beastmaster—two of the top five heroes in the 5k+ bracket—when you already have trouble controlling one unit. There’s a reason why heroes like Spectre, Zeus, and Omniknight have historically been on top of the win rate charts. Even if your fine motor skills have gone awry, anyone can press “R”.

Three, pick a winning hero. Win rates in pubs tend to indicate the overall impact of that hero, since the majority of pub players are of average skill. It’s very rare that an effective hero in the 3-4k bracket is ineffective in the 4-5k+ bracket (usually the opposite is the case.). This criteria excludes a hero like Io, who has a >50% win rate in the 5k+ bracket, even if it would be amusing to witness some Relocate antics.

Phase 1: Euphoria

Where it all begins. Ballooning self-confidence, feet coming off the brakes. Heroes here benefit from a player’s exuberance and unabashed instinct to pull the trigger and initiate.

Legion Commander is one of the first obvious candidates. She’s the fourth most popular hero, with 43.08% of her games played in the jungle. It doesn’t matter how poor your fine motor skills are when you’re fighting neutrals. Junglers in pubs have a laissez-faire type of attitude anyway, so it wouldn’t be a deviation from the norm if your Legion Commander is whacking the small camp when a team fight occurs a few steps away.

Invoker, even after a series of nerfs, is at a point where you don’t need to be a savant to be effective with him. To pick Invoker is a sign of the kind of poorly laid plans in this phase. It sounds like a good idea, until it isn’t. Despite this, Cold Snap and Alacrity are still as potent as ever to dominate the lane.

Enigma. List of dota 2 heroes unreleased hockey Like Legion Commander, Enigma is a jungling hero that, regardless of the player, will more likely than not win against the jungle. The difference would be turning on the mic and shouting “BLACK HOLE” when appropriate.

Clockwerk. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Solid life (and hockey) advice from Wayne Gretzky that also applies to Dota. List of dota 2 heroes unreleased hockey Leave the planned, tactical skill shots to the pros and go with the gut when hooking in pubs.

Phase 2: Lethargy

Delayed reactions, impaired vision, and poor memory. The realm of “Press R” heroes. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t managed a creep kill in the past ten minutes, or if you have no clue of what’s even happening around you, you can still manage to impact the game.

Zeus has historically been in the top 10 win rates of our charts (4th all time). Arc Lightning is a near risk-free way to last hit, while using Thundergod’s Wrath periodically is more than enough to help your team. Zeus almost has a greater than 54% win rate in all lanes, with his lowest being in the safe lane, where he is more likely used as a support.

Witch Doctor. Throw the coconut and look at it go.

Lich is one of the usual recommendations for first time Dota players. Another “Press R” hero but Sacrifice allows you to be effective even as you drift in and out of consciousness.

Spectre. If Badman can ride Spectre to 8K MMR, there has to be some value to everyone else. Pressing R gives everyone else double vision. Spectre has been one of the most effective heroes on the win rates charts, at one point in 6.85 exceeding usual kings, Abaddon and Omniknight.

Ancient Apparition. A hero where it’s acceptable to be where your teammates isn’t, under the guise of “getting levels” and “farming support.” It also helps that you can still be effective from the fountain, periodically casting Ice Blast between drinks.

Phase 3: Supreme Confidence

Nothing can hurt you. These heroes benefit from overestimating your own abilities, particularly because everyone else underestimates them.

Wraith King. A “press Q” hero. He only has one skill to use, and if you don’t use it, that’s fine too. Wraith King’s resilience and simplicity has made him historically one of the top carries to use in pubs.

Phantom Assassin benefits from the underestimation of the people playing against her, making it a ripe situation for users hoping to string together critical strikes. PA also has great synergy with two of the rising supports in the meta: Dazzle and Vengeful Spirit.

Bristleback is another beneficiary of uninformed pub players. Even in competitive play, his tankiness is often misjudged. Bristleback is one of the best defensive passives in the game, and it also kicks in when you decide to run away after making a terrible decision.

Spirit Breaker Take a page from MVP. March’s play at TI5, who unabashedly charged any visible hero.

No Regrets

In Dota, there is no need for a moral hangover–the kind of lingering guilt from our actions the night before. It’s only a game, where the consequences end once that score screen comes up. There are no lasting repercussions from feeding a death and throwing the game. The only recourse is to just move on and find a new game, realizing that anyone, with or without a buzz, can play with confidence.
