My First SF Game in 4 Years - How Much He's Changed? Purge Shadow Fiend

[@carltonrainey4758]

When Sniper said "I hit the windows button" I have never felt so close to some one in dota 2 as i do right now.

[@redpandarampage2191]

"First SF game in 4 years!" I love how in Dota you can have that kind of moment where you realize it's been years. About a year ago I got my first win on Naga since 2014 (only have like 10 games on Naga).

Bruh that first gank perfectly shows why sf is so hard for people who don't play him. He tries to attack move like he not playing sf so he gets stuck behind tree so hero turns and he misses raze then he loses confidence to throw raze when hes in shards. No flame it's very normal I just like that aspect of sf and I think this is good to show people who want to learn him.

Oh my god that pre bounty fight loooool. It's so nice to finally be able to play at Purge level, because that's exactly how proficient I am with that stupid hero

[@ArchonIlladrya]

Kicking the Lesh at Slacks was fucking comedy gold!

[@deathbystereo5322]

I always like deso/butterfly on him! Deso makes him hit so hard!

[@Gamevidia]

Learned Dota watching your videos

[@haydenlong3764]

[@alan090179]

Anyone else watch purges matches just to listen to Slacks?

[@NWTrailSeries]

They are a perfect yin and yang ☯️

35:50. Wtf happened to that Lion?? Shredded!

[@Cheesusful]

A crit from his shard + the magic damage from the quiver

[@carquest3748]

I just started playing shadow fiend and I have been loving him

[@BaooO0o]

Purge, battlepass predictions, when??! Eagerly waiting!

[@jdhcdfdfnikki3233]

I take disruptor mid to counter SF players. Spam my q and stay outrange ez. One replay i watched cause i did so well, the SF used 4 salves and had brown boots as only item at 15 minute mark. Think i can counter SF like this every game with disruptor

[@tahoebyk112]

Can you elaborate a bit why disrupters q cancels SF so hard?

[@Bloodynine606]

yep then he farms and gets a bkb and you realise you're a disruptor. just pick lina.

[@payaso216]

what rank are we talking about?

[@dowfreak7]

How would that counter him and how would that give him only brown boots at minute 15. That sounds like some "and then everybody clapped" situation. If you spam Q on him, cool, it's damage, but as you go to cast Q you open yourself to 1, maybe two razes. So there's some return damage. I guess you can run some kinetic field shenanigans to secure one rune, but without team SF gets the other rune. So that damage is now mitigated. And lastly, if you spam Q on SF, you don't have any way to shove the wave, so he can just raze the waves and now you're standing there lasthitting creeps under tower; which makes contesting runes harder and if you don't get a rune, there's no way you can keep up the mana needed. All to end up with a support hero from mid, so after like 20 minutes you're just a richer pos5 hero, while SF can punch heroes and push buildings.

Very satisfying game.

[@ralleks]

Am I the one who hates the radiant vs dire loading screens??

[@StaconBrips]

ayo

[@brunoloyola7213]

Could you play with rexxar? Pls!!!

[@milkworms7839]

The Warcraft character?

[@ljdoff]

This game is one of the reasons i dropped dota. a fucking massacre that lasted 38 minutes. Its tough. imagine working and not having much time to play and waste so much time in this match.

[@SerechII]

Waaah sometines I loose in an ultra competitive game waaah

[@HoughStone]

Look up winrate of any player that is normal, by normal I mean not a genius or a smurf or a professional savant. The VAST HUGE ENORMOUS majority of players have a winrate close to 50%. Meaning they are going to win almost as much as they are going to lose, the difference is minimal (it exists, but is minimal). If you play this overly competitive game because you want to have a good time, perfect. But most people associate having a good time to winning and/or winning easily, and that is not going to happen 50% of the time. Basically, change your mindset about a video-game.

[@SerechII]

@@HoughStone this game was so back and forth too, I think this guy just saw the first 5 minutes and commented some random shit

[@ratlinggull2223]

@@SerechII I don't think you actually read the comment? He's got a job, so maybe you should 'touch grass' too, as the kids would say.
