Helcurt is the perfect embodiment of the phrase "I once ruled the world'

[@Gatoxintoga892]

After the nerf on his 1st and passive, Helcurt has gone pretty downhill. He's now really ult dependent since he can't usually kill someone without his ult because of the small 1st skill AOE and lack of silence especially if he's using retribution and not petrify. His passive on the other hand is like 90% non existence in games. There's only a few situations where you would notice it such as Franco and Tigreal's ult, Guinevere's 2nd skill and purposely standing underneath a Ling ult to silence him but even then it's pretty unlikely to find yourself in most of these situations. But the worst part about his passive is the fact it only works when you are CC'ed and that's pretty bad since most CC last just as long as Helcurt's passive silence so basically you are stunned and can't really do anything but your silenced victims can still pretty much run or do autos and their teammates can still finish you off during your CC duration. Wish Helcurt could somehow get a revamp, I mean it's not impossible to use him in high rank like I still use him and do pretty good but he's not a preferred choice when assassins such as Lancelot, Hayabusa and Ling exist. Maybe a mark mechanic where he gets a reset on his 1st skill and every 3rd cast causes his 1st skill to also do a silence.

[@danteadji]

giving hc more mobility and cc immunity + silence AND burst damage will make him a great assasin to counter strong fighters that always gets banned (i.e paq, barats)

[@FelisDomesticusKrux]

Here i am reaching in Mythic Glory 1k with Helcurt ... and Elgin makes a video of how his stack dependant n useless helcurt is, without his ultimate. 3 Tips for anyone trying Helcurt. 1. Build: Tough boots, Hunters strike, Dhs, golden staff, corrosion scythe and Brute force breastplate. With this build attack speed is on steroids, and golden staff gives u full stacks in 3 basic attacks and Corrosion scythe slows enemies so u can land ur spells properly ... Demon hunter sword n Hunters strike is flexible ... Buy Malefic roar or Blade of despair ... Whatever suits u. 2. Use helcurt's ultimate mainly as a way for u to steal objectives ... Unlike Elgin here. Espically if there's 1 or 2 minions inside enemy base range, use ultimate n start attacking base ... Enemies can't see u nor hear the base being attacked. Elgin had several chances to end the game early but he didn't use them. 3. Use Helcurt with petrify ... He isn't very viable as a jungler that much. Bonus tip: Don't listen to people who really have no experience on actually playing something. Elgin here did it as a way to showcase the re-released zodiac skin for helcurt, his opinions are based on the limited no. of matches he has with helcurt (with or against) and if I'm not wrong ... This isn't a mythic glory gameplay ... It's too slow paced to be mythic.

[@happydapper8395]

All of what Elgin said here was valid, all the assassins have better ways to engage and have multiple dashes at a minimum, if you miss your ult with ling? Who cares? If you whiff your Haya ult? Who cares? If you Whiff a Natalia Combo? Who cares just hide or dash away, of Hc dosent get his skills of he's a sitting duck with no way to escape and he is very ultimate reliant, most assasin's ults are there as combo extenders, they should buff him by doing what they did to argus by reducing his ult cooldown and giving him full stacks once i activates

[@acerregualos5272]

Why helcurt is the most unpopular assasin: 1. Squishy. - Ever notice that assasins have escape skill or heal even without emblems? Yeah. Healthbar is low asf even marksmen have more hitpoints. Because of this, he can't even stay long in teamfights. 2. Escape skill - the same flaw with saber. You chase and you die. Unlike lancelot, ling or natalia that can go undetected with 1 simple skill, or others that have a speedup or reset in blink skill, he has nothing. 3. Damage is good, but not enough. - helcurt is a 1 hit hero. Meaning once he uses 2nd skill, he must run away. The problem is, sometimes enemy lasts longer than his silence and survives his skill 2. For reference, saber's full combo has armor buster and heavy damage with it. His cc duration is also dope. For helcurt, he can only target marksmen. Other than that, and he will not last long enough to kill his target. Take paquito, or chou, or aldous. They can punch away at helcurt even though they have low health because of how squishy he is and how much they are unaffected by his dmg source. 4. Lack of cc - He has silence, yes. ONLY IN THE ULTIMATE Look at ling, he has knockup to have room to deal damage Look at lance, he has lots of slow to help his skills aim easier Look at saber, he has stun to kill the target immediately Any other assasin, they have one cc skill that will get their hands on another kill. Helcurt just have a 30% slow, and a 1.2 silence. The slow is bad cuz anybody can still sidestep eith that slow. 1.2 silence is also not enough cuz he not natalia that can follow up with basic attacks that can chase the enemy. Helcurt? He jumps, lands his skill, then he and enemy (most of the time, enemy can blink away after lasting in the silence duration) can go away casually. They could have buffed his blink skill by resetting it, or could have changed his silence with a 70/80% slow. Look at his damn overall winrate, 45?!

his skillsets seriously need a revamp because of this meta.

If you compare helcurt with ling or lance and fanny, all of these assassins have immunity or high mobility (ling first skill, lance second skill and fanny cables). This actually made him useless in the teamfight/late game and he starts to fall off during mid game.

Helcurt is a great pick if your playing with reliable allies, like a 3 or 5 men team where you know that they know what to do. In solo or duo, is getting more harder to win with Helcurt, since the randoms will keep dying, not knowing what to do when winning to end the game as fast as possible. Would also be great to have like 1 or 2 late game heroes in the team in case the fight becomes long. Helcurt is amazing for first 15, 16 minutes, after that he starts becoming less and less useful. That’s why is important to push the game when leading with Helcurt so the game ends in first 15, 16 minutes.

Helcurt is actually a really good assasin rn, i just hope they lower his ultimate cooldown because that's his main initiation skill. If you didn't know, back then when you deal damage to helcurt you automatically get silenced which was quite op so i understand why they nerfed that. His new passive is actually good because he can cancel a prolonged cc but i hope they adjust so that there's a silence for each individual enemy cc so if he blocks the first cc and another enemy cc him it will be canceled. For better details: Helcurt passive: For the first individual enemy hero cc, helcurt silences the perpetrator. The next enemy hero who applies cc on helcurt will also be silenced and silence duration will be halved every new cc applied by a new enemy hero and has a cooldown of 4 seconds on each different cc and hero. To try to simplify what i mean: An enemy hero will be silenced when they apply cc to you, the second enemy hero who applies cc on you will be silenced but only half the duration and also applies to the next cc and has a cooldown of 4 seconds that will begin after the enemy applies cc.

I'm convinced that hero design is the most determining factor in the hero's popularity. Faramis, Vexana, Helcurt, Zhask, etc. Even the OP Balmond is only popular for a while before it stabilized somewhere in the middle popularity (the last time i checked)

[@Lili-mz6kg]

He’s easy to use but he’s hard to control due to how fast he can be in my opinion

[@dtly50]

Well firstly he has a tanks passive on an assasin. He can silence the person who CC-ed him but as an asssasin getting CC-ed in a bad spot means you are dead anyways. If his passive was put on a tank it would be pretty distruptive but not helcurt. Second he needs to keep up stacks to deal any damage and his stacks can only be obtained in melee. This is awful when you are behind even just a little as the enemy can simply deny jungle and threaten lane and snowball until you are less than half a hero. Lastly his skill 1 no longer silences without ult. This makes him as dependent on ult as argus, except if the enemy groups up, his ults effectiveness is significantly reduced regardless as he can be bursted down. This is especially true when he is behind as he can end up being nothing but a melee minion when he has no ult.

As an Helcurt main, my favorite part in a game is in rank when I hear the ennemy pick with their wonderful voice : GUINEVERE ! I'm so happy 😊

Helcurt getting ban Photo Other assasin:Is that You? Helcurt:Yeah,but that an old photo

[@nekobeatrix3020]

I think moonton should revamp him or at least buff him :3

[@istoletxtsbraincells2164]

I think buff him and make his stack permanent that's good enough

[@nekobeatrix3020]

@@istoletxtsbraincells2164 ikr,if he die the stack gone

[@Officialsky360]

Why helcurt is unpopular in current meta :- 1) Ult dependent, Long cooldown. 2) His damage is ineffective against tanky damage dealers. 3) Too much squishy and don't has many escape skills except ult.

[@distrillbe1928]

1. He is too rely to ultimate to get a kill. 2. If his team was losing, you can't gain passive stack, thus you can't kill. Solution: Buff his ultimate cooldown & giving new effect for his ult(like gain 2stacks after using ult)

[@user-ct1mq3jm4c]

Hmmmmm, probably add Helcurt some enhanced passive.... Ya'know

[@infinity6686]

Excellent Explanation Explain Other hero's please so the moontoon understand you anytime

[@milosaga5450]

The moment he got nerfed, I'm no longer scared of him. That's how bad the nerf is

[@Xinxax]

Why Helcurt is the lowest picked assassin: - Due to his 2nd skill being the only viable damaging tool, he has a bigger downtime (the wait between engaging in the next fight/kill) than any other assassin. Added with the all-or-nothing blink skill that forces Helcurt players to learn proper engage otherwise they'll die, whereas assassins like Hayabusa, Natalia, Harley, YSS, and the rest of the roster, have their own methods of disengaging from a bad situation. *The player mentality of not picking him would be* "why do I have to put in MORE effort to learn more about THIS assassin only, when I can just pick Aamon with so many more choices of easy escapes?" "why do I have to wait to 100% kill the next target? When I can just pick YSS?" "Lancelot can dash but Helcurt cant" - Next point, Helcurt has his sole damaging tool, *as an aimed skill*. Its fine to have Lancelot's skills to all be aimed, and Gusion's, and kinda Selena, but it is painful to have an assassin whose sole damage source is something that *you can miss or they can dodge so easily*. The only way he can dominate is low to mid elo, where you can just auto aim with those stingers. - Finally, his stats that make him the total cripple he is. Helcurt is one of THE SQUISHIEST heroes in ML. And that fits with his playstyle. But it acts more like the seal of the deal that makes him a total all-or-nothing assassin, making him a hardcore choice to main. And no ML player would like to suffer just to play Helcurt. There is no inbetween, you kill that Layla, or her team kills you. and you get reported.

[@admiralbeluga6438]

Look how they massacre my little cockroach

[@rishiorevon231]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS GAMEPLAY EVERYTIME SO CALM UGH 😩

[@cjaee345]

Moonton did him dirty

[@Morichoradio]

I still remember using fleeting time on helcurt as a substitute for immortality and If I wanted like a fast early atk build item, I would just buy hunter strike instead of BoD or prioritize endless battle first. And I still remember using wizard boots on helcurt during the old times

[@lekool9292]

Unlike most meta assassins with blinks and good mobility, helcurt really can't most assassins, especially with his easily dodgeable skill 2. But that really is his only flaw, he's a beast even in late game, making any heroes squishy with his 2nd skill

[@helsingcodm5253]

Miya is probably the hero with the most identical skins, but her legend skin is underrated👀

Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my saviour and my God. Psalms 42:11 GNBDK.😇💛❤️💛

[@modules_make_me_sad]

Helcurt is really underrated cause he is only useful in the early game. Anywhere after mid game everyone can screw his snowball at that point due to him being really weak on defense or magic defense. Also due to his huge nerf when helcurt is gapped and can't make a comeback his damage really falls off so helcurt is like a double edge sword depending on the gameplay. Trust me I have 1k+ matches on him and I found everything about him the hard way. Edit: also due to the fact that he's a meelee assassin its hard to constantly get his stacks for 2nd during a team fight cause anything can happen 2nd edit: I do not strongly suggest elgins build aside from the hook all because the demon hunter sword does not benefit 2nd skill damage and malefic roar only turns your current damage into true damage so most of the items shown does not help helcurts burst but more on his basic attack which is really bad since 75% of his damage comes from his 2nd when ambushing a rotating hero

[@dragonmaniac8199]

Guys just a tip from me dont use blade of heptaseas. Windtalker and scarlet phantom just use PEN and DMG example war axe,hunter strike and blade of desp

[@Muslim_MD]

Helcurt need a buff on his ultimate cooldown, increase the slow of first skill while reduce tge second skill slow, and make the second skill stacks permanent or at least last longer Also the passive should be adjusted abit, it have too small range, i prefer that:once helcurt got controlled, he will remove debuffs from himself immediately with a 5s cooldown, instead of silencing the target within range Btw helcurt is assassin and all assassins don't like reaching late game if the enemy mage and mm are not brain dead, since they can build immortality, athena shield, eind of nature or winter trunchion and dmg dealers can even sell boots in late while jungler can't cz of loss of enhanced retribution But when it comes to helcurt, u can't see who will he attack, and his dmg is physical and his basic attacks are so fast even without attack speed items, so athena wont work well, and since he can one shot squishy heroes within silence duration, none can use wind of nature, winter trunchion or flicker, also if he sticks to tank both will be silenced, and once silence end tge tank may control helcurt and another silence lol, and he is great in that non can know who u r attacking, destroying enemy line up in late, he can kill an enemy with immortality then escape since it have long cooldown Also kadita passive, lylia and zhask ults cant be used due to silence Only heroes with purify or battle spell purify counter helcurt So helcurt is basically best assassin in late since he can't be countered alot Btw helcurt can silence ling once he drop from ult if he was in tbe center, and he have longer attack range than saber, he can reach hanzo main body easily, lancelot can't time his immunity since he can't see helc is targetting him, harley main dmg stopped with silence, gusion is free kill for helcurt, selena too, so he is on top of assassin killing chain

[@lower.backpain]

helcurt, esme, harith, grock, claude. remember those times when theu were the top ban? moonton thinks they were able to balance them but in reality they overnerfed them. i rarely see these heroes in solo queue now (except esmeralda)

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz8788]

yeah, Harith received a nerf streak for a whole year. Claude is almost useless unless fed in the early game. Grock now needs a wall close to him just to activate passive which allows him to be immune to cc.

[@Studios_BzR]

Thanks for The Build and tutorial Elgin. helcurt is the last assasin that i never ever master.. Thanks for this tutorial Godbless you always 😍

[@juxt_aposition9935]

Making the adjustment on helc ult where he gets full stacks might be useful

[@juxt_aposition9935]

@MR THROW BOSS yea I think his ult has one of the longest cd in the game

[@kuyifithu4068]

Yes u absolutely explained the ult right 🤣...u never fail to make me giggle Elgin...keep it rolling my man

[@yujin193]

The transition on 7:49 was so smooth

[@calebshmanderson]

I think know what change to make him more viable, change his damage type to magic. If he did that he'll have more early to midgame damage with the magic pen boots and Genius Wand. He can use the magic assassin build with Shadow Twinblades and Calamity Reaper and he can even use the burst mage build (Lighting Truncheon and Clock of Destiny).And most of all he can use Fleeting Time. Of course he'd technically be the frailer but simpler version of Aamon but he'll definitely have a better standing

[@shanalcordo7174]

Um I don't think so.. the problem is with his passive and skill 1 not with the build. Twin blades has a counterpart in Attack items and it's Blade of Heptaseas. He was already perfect back in 2019-2020. He became unpopular because of the nerf just like Natalia.

[@3mbuds304]

When I used helcurt in classic for the scorpio's gift, it's my enemies don't know how to fight against helcurt. Their marksman underestimated my damage lol. I honestly think moonton should bring back helcurt to the meta. They should tweak something about him.

[@chanixmobile1731]

Elgin plays Helcurt: Also description has League of Legends👀

[@riyunanayutika5120]

Honestly I still play him because mages and mm's generally don't stand a chance, I use him more as a harley and leave my team's lineup to independent heroes that can take over the frontline while I assassinate the back. Akai is a great resource for Helcurt's as a group splitter so Helc can easily focus on the backline while the tankier fighters such as Esme or Thamuz can keep the frontline busy enough.

[@luismauromaximo3556]

I wish helcurts ult immediately grants him 5 stingers and doesn't show any notification that you or your teamate slay an enemy(the notification will appear after the duration)thus will ensure enemy not knowing helcurt had been because they dont know which ally had died,it is a good addition because during teamfight,most enemies cannot know which ally if them died and it will grant a more surprise effect to helcurt, Wish devs do it

[@Jxv_ixn]

I remember last time i use helcurt ult for free assist😂

[@dex1444]

Poor Helcurt is the most unpopular, I ALWAYS used him in S2 with 200+ matches in it.

[@ThePieOfTheUnknown]

Hes so terrifying they didnt even bother making him a halloween skin

[@Machamp-gaming]

Do you remember the old days were helcurt was the most banned hero followed by fighters and tanks

[@rondo5980]

helcurt was pretty good when u could take a different battle spell and jg petrify was amazing with him

[@yamligma]

15:30 it would have been better if you distracted them by pushing so one of their teammates will go back and defend, leaving some of their allies outnumbered, this will make it easier for your teammates to get lord, if their non damage ally goes back to the base, you can go to the lord area and kill their dmg dealer, if the dmg dealer goes back to the base instead of the non damage dealer, then you can go back to the lord area and help your teammates

[@gabbuchino7165]

He will be annoying to deal with when using heroes who rely on CC : Guinn , meralco lady, and elsa droga. a fed hc can dominate early to mid but can easily be countered on late game (from my exp) Wish they buff his passive and first
