[@DennisTheTall]

What's the best way to build Razor?

[@kashyap98]

Dagon ethereal refresher. and scepter for pushing

[@AiEbihara]

Speed

[@kabalan20]

Daedalus Butterfly Satanic S&Y BKB/Raiper Boots I miss HoN

[@h.p.lovecraftscat8476]

Aghs rush then refresher orb with the faster striking ult talent 👌👌👌

[@confus.d]

Those puns doe xd

[@Karanthaneos]

You know, that thing Monkey King did about erasing his name from the judgement of razor making himself and his army immortal is pretty much exactly what the original Wukong did in Journey to the west. Cool refference right there.

[@Igarappappa]

It's cool how they managed to work in the original story of Sun Wukong into the Dota-verse. Like how him and Broodmother apparently had a thing, referencing the Spider Demons he encountered during The Journey to the West.

[@neon6x]

he was caught as and forced to be a servant by the gods, broke free, and ate the fruit of immortality!

[@ICHBinCOOLERalsJeman]

Razor is like the kind of guy that takes your bag of candy and then beats you with it.

[@casmsfrought9956]

Worse part is, thats only his second skill...

[@PhoenixLive_YT]

ah yes, the hero i would pick and then buy 6 wrath bands because they look like his face.

[@T-Blur]

You wouldn’t pick…. Phoenix?

[@Kolt461]

I remember avoiding buying lifesteal on Razor on Oldschool Dota because it would override the Red Lightning attack with the boring green projectile lmao

[@arjaydee6379]

Buying diffusal blade is also one thing. It removes the lightning attack animation, effectively making you invisible while attacking.

[@Aldiethegreat]

I remember playing dota 1 back in the day. I discover the effect when i copy MOD on an AI and i was using CM. After that i buy MOD almost to every range hero i use. Miss the good old days

[@Tofilux]

The bird projectile 😂

[@voxyde]

@O K He's right you dumb bitch, if you HAD DIFFUSAL your attacks would be invisible and the unit hit would just receive the mana loss debuff. Go back to league of legends kid

[@farelegy57]

And also Eye of Skadi

[@rdsasuke1]

Seeing Razor with red lightning again is the deffinition of Old School Cool.

[@mcvpn]

We need Arcana for Razor with red lightning!

[@ivailoivanov931]

The red Lighting basic atack make a cool look like casting finger of death every basic atack Good Old Days :)

[@paulsaints1597]

Yeah, why didn't he covered that minimal change?

[@raihanaufall]

@@paulsaints1597 i think so it would match with his signature blue color, like his model, skill effect, and skill icon is blue, it's strange if his attack was red lightning out of blue, tho i too prefer his red lightning, maybe an Arcana that change all of his signature color to red color would be cool

[@KracklinDark]

Your profile is lit

[@MAMAJUGO]

Just as a random note, according to his Underlords' voice clips, Razor is currently allied to the Court of Ristul, with the likes of Shadow Fiend, Queen of Pain and Terrorblade

[@masteroogway4992]

Ristul or Eminance QoP arcana

[@masteroogway4992]

I think its eminance of ristul

[@hardy2566]

so that why he is always been....naughty

[@hessiankyojin]

Can't wait to see all of them in Dragon's Blood, if they go past 3 seasons.

[@ramtinzx7108]

Razor was the first hero that i picked in dota back in war3 it holds special place in my heart

[@angelocredo2818]

Me seeing this notif pop up: YES! FINALLY A NEW VIDEO FROM DENNIS!

[@geoffreygabriel4083]

My favorite hero since then and until now

[@Karanthaneos]

I swear, that line of "The electricity is almost uncontrolable" from HoN is absolutely amazing. Didn't use to play CD back in the day, but whenever I had the chance the voicelines were amazing. That one, and "They will know no sanctuary" from Nomad.

[@AgapitoHampaslupa12]

I missed hon so much. Nomad is probably one of the best hero in terms of design and skills. Add to that the sound of his voice and skills especially his ult line

[@Karanthaneos]

NO RETREAT! I used to play Rhapsody a lot. Her ult wasn't cancelled by items, so you could ult, use assasin's shroud and you would be making all your team invulnerable while being untargetable. Add to that a Shrunken head and Staff of the master, group for teamfights and win.

[@Miko0219]

I miss sir benzington :( Death from above

[@Karanthaneos]

Lord Salforis also sounded like a badass. And love both his theme and ra's. You can look for the composer of most of the HoN's character theme's. The guy's name is Thomas Adamn Habuda, he's got a bandcamp but some of his songs are also around on YT. I'll leave the link to his bandcamp here: thomas-adamhabuda.bandcamp.com/album/the-freak-inside-deluxe-edition

[@jessehenrique4343]

I love hon

[@Jeth_DelaRoss]

that Razor with red lightning is nostalgic as hell.

[@Gabrielbarsch]

do the history of morphling next, pls

[@confus.d]

I wanna see you next ;)

[@Gabrielbarsch]

@@confus.d O_o '

[@granite8236]

Who are you ?

[@tomtommotmot6863]

How much electricity puns do you need? Dennis: Yes

[@kevinavila9489]

yeah he had a shocking amount

[@ragner55]

I remember hearing "Corrupted Disciple" in the picking phase of HoN and absolutely loving his name and design, he's literally doing a haduken when auto attacking lol

[@zeipherx1]

I swear to god I thought my switch was on when the ending came. K.K. Soul has been playing inside my house since I got it.

[@DennisTheTall]

I see that you also have excellent taste

[@closotezuka]

a new Dennis the tall video? How shocking!

[@jeffreyvauxhall3260]

There's also the fact that in source1 dota2 using Razors ult would constant flash the screen white and it was glorious

[@crossfirffunnymoments3541]

DotA 1 Razor: "Tremble before the scourge!" DotA 2 Razor: ......."Gather for the charge!" Can we see a video about DotA Fun hero Spongebob? also Squire (he has a global-range archer skill which can deal thousands of damage in single shot) ...and Super Creeps video? (Ancient Hydra, Scary Fish, Siege Golem)

[@user-bb9xo7ex8f]

Super creeps would be fun

[@machicommentsection]

Dennis ,,, a super creeps special would be awesome

[@discounthorde1944]

no dota 2 razor is puns upon puns upon puns

[@DialthebarSoap]

I think Cloud was there too

[@vim9099]

Might as well include Malragor, the dude who hates Sven so much 😄

[@angelalex6944]

Razor has been my favorite hero since the beginning of DotA!!

[@jeroensomers4189]

Wow, extraordinary how much effort you have put in explaining Razor's history... I really enjoyed watching this, thank you for your effort!

[@trf187]

thanks for these videos man, i loved playing the old dota on WC3 and its always fun to see these videos!

[@lunatic1799]

Ah....finally Dennis update Dotatology video my quarantine is much better now

[@lifelesskaos]

Always so nice to watch some lore videos. Thanks Dennis!

[@vincepinsir846]

aah yess another vid, actually felt like decades great content as always btw

[@hassanabbas1994]

Can believe it has been more than 10 years since I started playing Dota. And Razor was the only hero I could play for about a year. Nice video and thanks for the nostalgia.

[@peripheralvisionbestalbum2721]

Razor is the very first hero I played in Dota when I was 8 years old and I'll buy him 6 gloves of haste because of the attack speed. I'm 21 now and Razor is still my favorite hero in Dota 2 because he holds a special place in my heart.

[@kadokawa8466]

Pls dont stop making these videos. I really enjoy themmm

[@120rikeshlawoju2]

This video sparked something in me to start playing razor and I've been spamming it ever since. This hero is a lot of fun.

[@johnrey7365]

"I've got my tophat and ball and a pocketful of miracles. A pocketful of miracles. A pocketful of miracles..." -Steampunk Corrupted Disciple

[@eijimuzaffar6452]

glad u still make this video bud, keep em coming!

[@farhanmohamad9027]

Dennis I really like ur contents and I wish you to have higher subs, have been watching all ur content from the start!

[@DennisTheTall]

Appreciate it, man :')

[@Doy16947]

You deserve more subs man. Keep it up. Always waiting for your next upload

[@biscuit9220]

Damn, I've been binge watching you a lot and didn't realize you only have 58k subs, thats a crime right there. You deserve more tbh.

[@geovannimerza3623]

Great video as usual keep up the good work

[@Immagonko]

Thank you for your videos, I really like these series

[@Alvaro89Rus]

Ah, Razor, one of "uncounterable" heroes of low ranks.)

[@Mortred.]

8:36 and it also purges the attacker. This is kinda helpful, you know

[@christianmanso2268]

Eyyyy. I remember that time when wraith band got stunned when levelling ss. I was teleporting to a teamfight, a few lane creeps died, i leveled up, saw that I could lvl ss, thought why not since im responding to a teamfight. Got stunned, my team died. We lost

[@MrTubeStuck]

Wooo... One of my favorite heroes!!! Thanks Dennis

[@fenrirsrage4609]

"Prison Break scenario but in videogame form." 14:38 Should we tell him about the god awful Prison Break game or not? Because goddamn that sentence gave me flashbacks.

[@TuanNguyen-gq3oi]

I've been waiting for this day, finally!!

[@zambsDGOW]

thank u sir for adding music used

[@RangerJackWalker]

The Revenant model was easily one of the coolest looking one from War 3.

[@jrsronwell]

Yes! I've been waiting for this!

[@lzltti6775]

Cool! These are honestly one of the most fun videos to watch, nice video! Have you considered making one on morphling anytime soon?

[@ernestoquismorio3271]

Perfect for quarantine!

[@rev9115]

razor voice lines from 5:07 gives me chills and brings back memories :3

[@Ichtiz]

Starting with the Elecman theme is such a nice easter egg.

[@ryutoraijin]

"because he will raze your mmr" the worse best joke ngl made me laugh!!

[@silverezno3261]

yes finally! my request! thank you!! i know it mght still take a while for the next one but i'd love to see legendary Tusk (Tuskar in Dota 1), Drow Ranger because of all the reworks she went through, or Weaver!

[@PaszerDye]

You might have inspired me to include Razor in my spam list XD

[@SuperBass0125]

I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP DENNIS DAMMIT. thank u ❤️

[@iambumbo7534]

the wait was tremondously worth it

[@adamhercik581]

Another amazing video.

[@CrucialflyHD]

Dont forget,The alt avatar Steampunk Corrupted Disciple was voiced by Totalbiscuit. May he rest in peace.

[@not_kode_kun]

hey! great video! i would love to see an episode on meepo, been reading some of his lore and i love it.

[@FakeChobass]

Radical clip brother

[@snyperheadshoot]

Not gonna lie, that Mars voice line caught me by surprise, pretty funny.

[@envybemogaming7577]

Boss we like This dotaology plz keep it up.

[@DarkFlameMaster1000]

Razor got me into DotA :)

[@buangontao_6992]

I loved seeing my main hero getting a vid like this

[@leememalone7892]

Miss this a lot😭

[@MrBogi44]

Frenzy was the best good memories

[@Starryeyeddreamer2001]

i forgot how cool razor sounds

[@AndreVenet-eh4xp]

Love the Elec Man theme at 00:12

[@FalcnPWNCH]

Wai-wai-wai-wai- am i missing something, why's there no *section for character comparisons from other MOBAs?*

[@Bordey]

I wish his aura would slowly steal movement speed over time from nearby enemies, would actually make it somewhat interesting as a spell and it'd synergize with his kit a lot.

[@aldrinmercado3475]

Like omni aura? Hed be op

[@emberhydra7621]

I like Razor. One of the coolest heroes in my opinion

[@RangerJackWalker]

I love the middle management aspect of Razor.

[@sexysaurusrex548]

Razor was the first ever hero I’ve ever used way back ‘07

[@cannedtunasam7766]

This is one of my first hero selection in OG DoTA along with anti mage, terror blade and davion knight

[@rasmusbruhnnielsen7646]

Hey man, i fell asleep during the first time i watched this episode. Not because it's boring but i was really tired, ill see rest of it now.

[@rasmusbruhnnielsen7646]

Great episode

[@kevinjohn2177]

I miss the 5.76 and before 6.60. Just build radiance and enemy will be vanish. My first ever hero.

[@aegon1437]

love this video

[@confus.d]

Ah yes... the first hero I've ever used :]

[@DrSkull-hc8dx]

Razor is my first hero in dota2 too !

[@kingkingplays1801]

Nice. He is back to dota.

[@mcvpn]

My favourite hero from Dota Allstars!

[@dudlecore7358]

i dont even play dota but i used to play wc3 .. guess the nostalgia is why i watched the whole thing haha

[@SollowP]

You Can't Run From Heaven 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[@h.p.lovecraftscat8476]

*The path to least resistance* That cracks me up every time

[@jeanfrancofernandez8588]

ahh finally another one of these...

[@akai_suika]

back in the old dota days, Razor is one of the legit heroes to master. his gamplay was as simple as hit and survive

[@rdsasuke1]

Yeah, i remember so many people were building him as a tank back then.

[@unconfirmed9675]

I knew it I wasn't the only one who fills my inventory with wraith bands.

[@machicommentsection]

It was a popular meme back then

[@sabrex5134]

before you afraid the red lightning of razor because we thought it is dagon

[@andarubimasakti1332]

You should do treant protector, its ability has changed significantly (except ult) throughout various versions

[@elijahflint9884]

I missed your dotaology dennis.

[@greygrenzeback4590]

My best hero at DotA 1. Too unfortunate, he keeps on revising..

[@subterficial]

really like the razor art

[@kiyoshiteppei6451]

oh you're back!!!! yey

[@levisamom5069]

finally...ive been waiting for this IDK whos next but i would love one on my waifu TA...not gonna complain if its not tho...ur always entertaining

[@teodorchirileanu]

I really like your puns!

[@doodlezregular9514]

Great video! How 'bout next one is Razor's colleague?

[@kennethobrien6993]

One thing to point out: the old Unstable Current used to damage, slow, and purge enemies who cast a spell on him. Similar functionality to Pug's nether ward; I wanna say it was 60/80/100/120 damage and only hit targets that actually casted ON razor (no aoe or ground target spells). I always liked that, depending on the enemy team comp, you could skill it up quickly and do a lot of damage to Rhasta, Lion, etc

[@kembel2761]

I miss the old passive that shocked people who casted spells on you. That was the best version of Razor bar none

[@aldrinmercado3475]

Naaaah. Red lightning razor was the best. Frenzy was op.

[@jericomalacas7109]

I still remember wayback 2014 where Razor is one of the top meta heroes where if you manage to build aghs and refresher orb around 20 minutes then it's already a win hahaha Those are the glorious days of death ball meta XD

[@japhethbohol5066]

Make a video about a hard carry like my boy Chaos Knight. I'm miss him because of this quarantine.

[@hiro.ocampo]

I still like the OLD VOICE of Razor, makes him sound more dominant and intimidating.

[@owent_yt1771]

I like his old voice in Dota 1...It makes you really feel strong and scary...

[@louiji391]

That warcraft III plasma field never fails to look cool af
