I've always played WK on offlane cos his kit really suits an offlaner's play style. My friends used to laugh at me & now I will!

[@SundAisukE14]

Used to laugh at you, 10 YEARS AGO RIGHT? Pretty sure we are old now

[@connorculliton1037]

Wraith king 3 was a top pick at TI8. Hasn’t been viable since then until now

[@spicymuttoncurryalbion]

big fan bowie, nice to see new content coming out, keyboards look great!

[@Pedram_Aphotic]

love the blue skelly dancing transparently without any care in the world .

[@legice]

I was literary playing wraith as an offlaner the past year and it was so fun, because once you get rolling, you cant stop him

[@boartank]

I hope the keyboard takes off. It looks great.

[@maicee7603]

oh wow that keyboard looks very good

[@m136dalie]

I think putting the skill build at the end is better. Have been loving these videos

[@FallingKoala]

that is indeed jenkins!

[@gabrielarocena3074]

Wraith King was a popular offlaner in SEA back around 2018, mainly used by T1.Kuku, where he would use skeletons to shove waves out/take towers whilst building towards more aura/initation items for the mid game. Guess the other regions caught on.

[@ineptadept3251]

No bro, it was the patch that made WK offlane today. Not because of Kuku. It was the patch.

[@cajeb5396]

Well low MMR has been doing Offlane WK for a long time lmao

[@ghiffaribara2949]

It was popular in a low rank since it can act as second or third carry because the game drags longer, now it is also more viable on higher rank because of the patch

[@JakeGittes84]

Yeah bro the other regions FINALLY caught up to SEA, the region that has literally never won a tournament!

[@snails6997]

I done many offlane WK since they build the tree that way. Im an offlaner that doing WK for the arcana effect. I mean the job is simple. blink, summon skell, stun, then just need to die. The skeletons do so much damage, omg. You still doing damage even at death timer. Pushing tower on two lane if you farming invaded triangle, or farming the dangerous jungle. Also, the best thing is, his 3rd skill is nasty harassing skill. Good pick at lv1 against melee enemy safelaners. If they try to get a creep last hit, hit them with the crit. Played like slardar passive stuns or kunka cleave. Won lane every time against melee laners. Against ranged farmers, just wait your 2nd skill have 4 skelletons at lv3 hero, and make them chase. Skeleton harasment is just too huge for those early range farming enemies that have low armor. Lategame, you initiate the battle by jumping on enemy backline and open up the map with skeletons. Showing all enemies with undying and moving observer ward of skeleton. Blink, summon, and stun. After reincarnation pops, you try to retreat to your closest team to trigger the aghs for them. Remember, you still an aura bearer when you pick the offlane jobdesc. When you die, enemy must spend resources enough for two taras worth of EHP. Which leave them with much fewer stuff for the rest of your team. That with the fact that your ghost still kicking for another couple of seconds (not counting refreshers if your build it that way). Your carry just need to sweep and pick the left over from that skeletons infested battle. The pros? Flexibility. WK is inherently a carry hero. He is a good tower pusher with a nature of good fighting hero with his stun and durability. If your pos1 is a failure, you can pick the baton, prolong the match, and finish the game. Split pushing and forcing enemy to respond your push, then TP back to def after one enemy baited by the split push. He is a back up carry like weaver or clinkz offlane, but with proper durability as offlaner. The cons? Well, simply the perception of "WK=Carry". Some people will angry on why I put this guy on offlane. They gonna cry when I still on the offlane pushing tier two and ignoring the early battles. Simply because I dont have blink and lv4 2nd skill yet, and I must not war before those on. They usually shut up, once we start winning the war. Tho, these cry babies wont be as much as other missrolled carry heroes. People still can accept some WK doing offlane just like Weaver. Its not as a taboo as pos4 luna or something. In many case, people wont flame you at lost matches for offlane WK somehow.

[@Makkle4000]

skill build at the end is good, thanks Bowie

[@W4lkst4r]

Im so happy youre back bro! thank u for all this great content, and good luck with the keyboards!

[@Guys_cardboard]

Wow those keyboards are on another level, I want one!!!

[@Alex-vv8co]

the keyboards are made by you, these are pieces of art

[@PESHKIRAwee]

Maybe i come back to dota and try it out, wk is among my favourites. The keyboard also looks really nice, hopefully not too clicky/noisy and having access to the parts to replace/fix something gonna be a great feature! Might want to set up a model with numpad as well.

[@Redotwo42]

The king of dota guides is back.

[@skyheights3834]

Wk struggles very late game against hard carries, even you counter them with items. He really suited for offlane. I think my wk offlane is like 80-90% winrate.

[@NomadUrpagi]

Don't lie your winrate is like 8-9%

[@Illusion666]

And then you pick Alchemist and watch the dollar signs.

[@aad4186]

That keyboard looks so sick as hell.

[@PrivilegeYT]

dont forget the alch+wk double radiance by 14 minutes game

[@s0opr0oud]

Whenever developers see the analytics on KZbin and identify what's overpowered in the new patch, they often respond with the words: Puck me in the Axe !!

[@Tilier]

Great video. You should provide a video section marker for the skill/item build.

[@swissQu]

skill build being in the middle or last doesnt really matter. patreon in the middle is definitely an improvement. cheers bowie!

[@minkblanket9632]

yeah i was off it at the beginning but damn is it good right now

[@gimpong]

Ive been using wk off alot...anyway, harpoon is a must too.

[@yammoto148]

I mean yeah the only way to buff WK was to turn him into Undying and it worked.

[@jankolec7053]

i like to rush drums instead of bm

[@angryralphs2516]

The truth is WK level fast in this patch for some reason. I don't know if that is a bug. It is like Alchemist.

The arm rest looks a bit too big and too far from the keyboard imo, but i dont use one so idk.

we are not ready to start selling YET but after the giveaway we should start selling :)

when do offlaners buy radiance? i considered this item to be a farming one which is not suited for the pos 3 role

[@endgegnerwampe1438]

Why do you think wk ofllane is a new thing discovered in the ti? Since the last patch I see a wk offlane in every third game of my pubs.

[@loveluclins]

Fighting WK is pretty unfun nowadays. Even before he has his ult you need to commit quite a lot because he's so tanky and the lifesteal sustain is brutal.

[@S-Kara]

0:14 people just didn't bother to read i was waiting for your videos :(

[@espinosamiguelgeoa.7962]

wk really feels like the last years dk both can push really well both are tanky and has single target stun both can buy similar sets of items but i felt like wk is much more easier to play

[@leemndl]

ive been spamming him with 75 winrate even before ti. hope they dont kill him yet

[@ashwin_ramesh]

Can I buy the keyboard ? 😊

[@TheMrKlump]

Pretty ridiculuous to say that thhe right side talents are trash, +1s on the stun is very strong and in some games definitely a necessity over the skeleton damage.

[@pcxxy]

I clicked like before i even watch the video

[@i3looi2]

I was spamming ONLY skeleton build for the past 4-5years 😂Long before it got the skellies buffed. YOU CAN SOLO TOWERS THROUGH BACKDOOR PROTECTION. They waste money on radi, when all you need is: 1. battlefury - to fast farm the skeletons army ( not anymore a hard requirement ) + bfury > radi as in cheaper and a lot better perks/stats 2. drums of endurance (effectively x2 the attackspeed ----> x2 the damage of skeletons) 3. ac + deso (for that sweet sweet tower demolition team) 4. dagger (situational to jump on top of supports or w/e)

[@raikkus3745]

and mmr is 1800?

[@Vestigexx]

why take crit talent over reincarnation fireblast?

[@kaelthunderhoof5619]

But when I see WK in the games it feels like he's just a fodder.

[@thejokewasonme8062]

As a WK main, i really recommend buying travels after the farming items. As it helps you do split push.

[@Senorpoontang]

If you're doing that as pos 3 you are 100% griefing. Hard to justify it on any role tbh.

[@skepsisrollins1711]

I mean, your 1 and 2 should be getting that. If you're taking the enemies jungle and tping top to take the lane, your teammates are 1k if you're having to push their own lanes with BoTs

[@boartank]

Im neutral in regards to the skill build positioning in the video. But I am used to seeing it at the start. As it is, I don't dislike that it is placed at the end of the video. Your presentation makes it look like it belongs there.

[@frankmills1917]

Haha, funny bones.

[@Redotwo42]

Bro dota bowie is back?

[@Jebu911]

I think wk has a good winrate in pubs because he is very forgiving to play and even tho wk players needed to grow another finger to play him its still pretty easy.
