Warlock Guide
My hero guides are mainly for people learning how to play Dota or for those who want to learn how to play a new hero. I aim to teach people the general concept of how the hero should be played and what makes it unique. I'm a Divine player around 5k and don't claim to be the best at Dota, but I do have enough knowledge and experience to help you learn the basics.
I hope you enjoy the guide.

Hey man, I think you might have overlook some big aspects that are a bit more obscured about his skills, like how fatal bounds spreads when used and understanding it so you can get better fatal bounds, the fact that "heal" in dota is higher than magic damage, because the natural resist of magic doesn't apply negatively, so his cure wounds has some +25% efficiency when used to heal instead of damage, can be very useful in lanes you're hard trading, just buy some stats, use it on yourself and keep trading, and upheaval works a bit weirdly, the max slow/damage/attack speed is calculated by how long you're casting it, not how long the enemy/ally are standing on it, if he's casting for 2 seconds and you dip a frame into it you gonna feel the pain, and his ult is a pretty short stun and goes through bkb, his golem is sure one of the big aspects of his ult, gaining attack speed in the upheaval they can hit pretty hard with his passive and immolation, the agha decrease some of his stats, I wouldn't say is a "must" but when you take into account you'll gain the attack speed on both it becomes pretty strong, he can push lanes from very very far away with his shard on upheaval, he can use it not even in the wave and the imps will run to the wave and explode, very hard to deal with because of how safe and far back is, upheaval can also very easily clear a wave push with little effort and risk, the talents are very worth looking into it, for my tests I'm preferring going for upheaval build in the talents, and in the skill build maybe 1-2 points in cure wounds to sustain the lane than all in upheaval maybe 1 point in fatal bounds since the scalling is pretty bad and the first point is by far the more worth it, but of course as everything in dota is "situational", anyway nice video
