[@monogreen]

As someone mostly outside the community these have been amazing to watch too. My interest in dota only goes as far as having friends who sit in my lounge watching competitive dota and instilling a desire to understand the game more. This series has really helped me identify more of the heroes as well as have a better understanding of the game in general. Thank you very much for making these

[@progskep]

And I never got my tinker video 🥺

[@toukaK]

It's worth mentioning during TI8 morph had a bug that causes losing stats gain while leveling up in morph form. In some games this bug caused losses of agility as high as 25 for carry. 30% win rate is definitely a result of this bug

[@DuckyVanya]

Thanks Baumi, i think this series is the best content you have ever produced. And as a GM Morph, I'm really glad you got around to waterboy❤

[@blast916]

One of the best channels in youtube history if you're a old school dota player. You have my respect!

[@TempestDacine]

Thanks for all of these well researched and presented historic videos. Its been a wonderful time. At least morph is back to using a facsimile of shotgun with Khanda burst rn if it lasts till TI13.

[@tadeaslehky98]

Thank you for the series. I would like to ask if you could please make a video about your favorite matches in TI history since you had to watch so much in making these videos.

The algorithm recommended me this channel. When I hear the voiceover, it stumbles upon me a familiar voice. It's a Baumi. So Baumi, this is for you. More power to you, man. Looking forward to your other "Stories of ...." series.

[@zenderas1434]

hello baumi i have watched your videos sporadically in your main channel, even though i have like 6 years without playing dota, and even though the mod gameplay is whatever for me, seeing your retrsopective on heroes i have played in days past brings me nostalgic joy (and anger) about those days of me 4 stacking with friends and experiencing all those highs and lows of the heroes mentined. Hope gyou do Luna someday, shes my favorite hero.

[@goink3368]

There actually was a brief period around 2015 when morphling was played as an utility hero for his 4 second stun. You’d go offlane and buy stuff like euls blink and blademail Also during TI2 (and for a few years after that) Ethereal Blade damage was based on the owner’s agility even if they were a strength or an int hero

[@BenDodson-id8em]

I remember that! People were going stun and support items in my pubs. It was kind of cool - probably not optimal but I was always playing at a trash enough level where the quality of heroes never really mattered 😅

[@TheGreatGritzy]

Was one of my favourites at the time, pre BKBs it was like having a 10s cooldown beastmaster ult with built in blink. Used to combo it with Undying for double tombstones

[@SKKaelth]

In pubs it is strong, because usually the enemy team isnt a coordinated pro team, so when you engaging with that 4~5k hp you might get some of them spend a long cooldown on you while you survive to make your escape, giving a good advantage to your next tf by simply existing. And can even steal some interesting skill with morph. Optimal? Nope, and your team will report you.

[@MKSiringOne]

Thank you for this amazing content as always

[@ivanasukjadic1423]

Awesome documentary. I appreciate the content!

[@vincent78433]

man playing morph with the shaker combo was so much fun i only got to do it a few times while it was in the game but damn was it good

[@Rippi__]

If baumi (channel creator) ever needs a lighter project, what about "the story of roshan"?

[@morfy2581]

or the story of the map

[@LemonWise]

thats a beautiful idea

[@henrik1743]

or of wc3 creators items (guinsoo etc)

[@loganmyall660]

​@@morfy2581that one would probably get pretty upsetting because it would be nearly 2 decades of trying to get the rosh spot balanced, finally getting a spot everyone and the stats show aren't too powerful for one or the other, than icefrog having a boomer moment and changing the game fundamentally, and for the worse.

[@minigamer537]

nah man ! at TI7 morphling and earthshaker was the most IMBA combo. You just completely missed that.

[@sirbolero]

I am gonna miss these videos. So much thought put into, topnotch quality

[@emeraldwarden8018]

I think it would have been nice to take note on how dominating Morphling was during the Chengdu tournament when TNC used ES + Morph combo and won that tournament. One of the best displays of dominating carry I have seen.

[@BringTOBIWANback]

Morph was, very briefly, played as support by PPD on a couple of games

[@HalIOfFamer]

Hey would you consider doing a video on one of the newer heroes to come to the roster? Or have you planned to cover the older ones 1st so the newcomers actually build up their portfolio 1st?

[@vaxfantomen]

The memories I had of this guy... the 6.83 patch notes. "Adaptive Strike stun max duration increased from 0.75/1.5/2.25/3 to 1.25/2.25/3.25/4.25" Even though I never played against it, I did go offlane Morphling a lot and even managed to get a 16 winstreek when looking back at the dotabuff(77141752) logs now. And I tell ya, that 4+ second stun was underestimated and it made many Antimages quit when they also had a replica hitting themself. Later on get an aganim, hybrid the carry, win. It was one of the best times I ever played dota, good old 2015

[@ispilledmycoffeonkeyboard8839]

Great video, as always! Can you make history of Magnus next?

[@GuiJiin]

I recently just saw the league of dota tournament , semi final with 1win vs liquid and boxi played morph sup.He was freaking good with hit at the point enemy team focused him as he were just a p4. Plus, i saw boxi's video about morph supp new meta, morphling can now becomne a supp

[@BertieJasokie]

I estimate at least 6-8 years worth of content if he goes through the entire hero pool, If he stops some other you tuber is gonna pick up on the existing viewer base and farm it.

[@kenolino1]

0:35 Morphling had never been anything other than a carry. Aged like milk with Boxi Morph. 😅

[@KiNG5493.]

Man that earthsahaker morphling oneshot combo was op..... Damage was over 1500+.... Had fun times 😁

[@ShivanSnake]

Awesome as always

[@Caseous703]

Series needs just one more episode, Lone Druid, the WIGAL champion!

[@d312da1]

I remember he was a nightmare in TI 2. He was almost always banned first in TI 2.

[@Axaerys]

Now Morphling is being played as pos 4-5 more frequently using the Flow Facet. It gives Morphling 60% spell cooldown reduction when on 75% Agility Attribute Shift, the coooldown percentage goes down the more you Shift to Strength (0% at 75% Strength Attribute Shift). This makes his ultimate have zero second down-time when combined with his level 15 talent which is +16 Morph duration. Note that all abilities are effected by this CDR whether they are yours or the enemy's who you Morphed into.

[@BillTheChill654]

If you want to do a quick video, you could do The Story of Clinkz. “When this hero was first introduced, his kit was an unfocused mess. Valve did everything they could to fix him, and failed. The End.” ~kappa, no disrespect to the Clinkz Mains in the audience

[@ventu7907]

His kit is pretty good for a gank focused midlaner. Unfortunately he is very weak early game

[@grischad20]

honestly, clinkz made a lot more sense in his beginnings. windwalk, strafe as an attack speed steroid, fire arrow, and the ultimate being consume that gave max HP and damage.

[@ildar.ishalin.chelovek]

You gotta understand that Morphling came to d2 after some serious nerfs in d1. Chinese teams dominated games with him, because he could safely farm for 40 minutes and then destroy anybody with high attack and a low cd shotgun. Icefrog nerfed him hard. Also his third - Morph - gave him attributes which you could morph in d1, but couldn't in d2 because it wasn't base stats for some reason. It also had made him a tiny bit weaker (6 less agi to be precise)

[@ObieFuscato]

i had to repeat the lore part 10 times, to hear what happened with morphling because i was just enjoying the storytelling voice/vibe

[@Antifrost]

I'm reminded of a pub game where a Morphling on my team refused to level Morph. This was long before any reworks the skill had. I don't know if they were trolling or not, but they refused to listen to the rest of the team. That one person was so frustrating, that I've forgotten pretty much everything else about that match - what heroes were there, which side I was on, if we won or not, pretty much everything felt less important than asking why the hell someone would play MORPHling and not use the MORPH skill.

[@loandbaxhuku9617]

It's not a very noob-friendly skill. Also because of attribute shift, Morphling gets double the value out of leveling stats.

[@Antifrost]

@@loandbaxhuku9617 I don't doubt you, though this was before Morphling had Attribute Shift, back when Morph was still a skill and his ultimate was Replicate. It would be like using his modern skillset and not leveling Attribute Shift. I'm only realizing now that I could've made that clearer, since even the modern version of Morph has had reworks. My bad, I haven't had the chance to play Dota in a long time so I'm still used to how things were before.

[@fasiam2360]

​@@Antifrost im kind of and on-and-off dota player with very limited matches played per year. Your comment reminded me of the ONLY time i played morphling long ago, it was a legendary back and forth match between my morphling and enemy terrorblade. Basically i learned what a 'carry' truly is/does that match.

[@arigatameiwaku]

Technically his old ult Replicate wasn't that useful,so it could be skipped till later levels

[@SkullJr]

but Morphling has been buffed ever since last patch. Love it on this patch

[@koalatysleep]

Still rubbish. Barely over 40% wr. Other heroes are far stronger, some getting 2 skills level 1. Morph doesn't have much going for him.

[@nyavy]

wish i could travel down to whatever rank you're at, he's only 46% winrate on d2pt and its almost always the same rough item build

[@akrilla5929]

What an insanely wrong statement.😂

[@SamSGLM]

I can guess this one was on the works for a while, as you might not do them as you publish them exactly. But i think after 7.36, this one had to take a hold for after this TI. there is the potential to finally put support morph on the map for good. 60% cdr is a big number, that can be abused so easily

[@ПетърПетров-й9ф]

Its funny that's one of the few heroes that really is only carry... until couple of weeks after the video 😅 Boxi is spamming support morph right now. As notail once said "anithing is possible". Great videos guys the work must be neverending i remember your video about dota strat and meta over the years, very interesting.

I cant think of a time when I seriously watched Dota, and he wasn't at least a little bit meta. Last part is hard, mate. I've got 3 good names that could go into it. I've got QOP, Ember Spirit, and SF. I'm pretty sure I called the last two here. Now, time to wonder if Baumi is gonna follow through with that Stories of League channel, next.

i think the popularity of these videos doesn't have anything to do with the quality or anything about the video. Since it is basically a youtube and youtube is "content" and not "media/movie/video", it lacks the marketing creativity and genuinely feels like they put their effort more on the quality of the video rather than the effort of marketing it. Like for example changing thumbnail and A/B testing, or maybe have some more shorts form content. It doesn't require them to be this amazing quality, just purely ideas of content making. Although I said that, I saw they changed the title more than once one a single video (maybe even more than I expected). So I can't say the don't do anything to make the videos reach more audience.
