Earth spirit is the worst support hero in dota2 hands down!

[imadous]

had to play 4 stupid games with it (for the hero challenge) and man i don't want to ever play with it again, he's why ..

- low damage: it's bad! .. absolutely worthless, i had trouble killing minions in level 15!!

- he's a terrible support: absolutely the worst, very hard to execute very low rewarding, hitting those rocks eat your mana like .. there's no tomorrow and the damage/stun/silence is very .. disappointing (giving all the trouble you have to go through to actually hit with those rocks!)

- slow: he's slow .. damn slow, the only worthy ability he has "rolling" takes so much time to get ready and not really that effective

- the ulti: many weak hero's and supports make it with their "powerful" ulti right? .. not Earth Spirit, his ulti is so stupidly weak .. i want to cry right now, how come!?

- very questionable life steal: it's bad, compare to the other supports out there, this one is probably the weakest

- Absolutly useless without a real team, i play with random people.

i don't know what happen or how this hero come to being, he has nothing good to it, he does nothing well and is very challenging to be useful with, no amount of training will make you get anywhere with it. without absolute perfect team coordination to use his rocks that can stun from afar, he have no place in the game .. just a punch bag for the others.



Edit: seems like he has a good point on pulling, pushing hero's, so yeah, can be annoying to pudge but still .. he has so many bad points.

nah man, random people too, earth spirit can finish anyone early game solo with his full combo. im doing fine with earth spirit with randoms too, can throw some ids, if needed. problem is that you never will meet experienced players, with your game time. you need to play more, and to be able to judge anything you first need to learn game.

he was Op before the big nerf, he is stil useful in the right hands: On a solo lane

Think Io. He's actually pretty good and has a very unique playstyle compared to other supports, but he's ridiculously hard to play right. You'll mostly see him in high-tier stuff like tourneys, but not much else. That being said, don't listen to all the people calling you out for not being "pro" at him, since I find it very unlikely that they know how to play him right either.

Earth spirit isnt a right clicker this his base damage isnt that high, However his skills are one of the best nukes in the game

Hes not a support, hes a carry

How is he slow? He has a rolling stone ability that has a 0.6 second charge? 0.6 seconds is not a long charge time.

His ult at max does 600 damage and the damage can be redone again with another stone, With good skills you can do 600x6 damage with the stones. Is 3600 damage high enough for you?

Life steal? Are you kidding me? If your judge a heros quality on the base life stealer they have than that means 90% of the heros are bad since they dont have lifesteal at all.

not every hero gets a life steal on attack, infact the only people who even heal from killing units without items are bloodseeker, lifestealer, and nechrophos. Thats 3 out of 108 heros.

He's definetly not a carry LOL. Carries are carries because of their right click / their right clicking abilites. Earth spirit is a support because he can save allies, he has disables, and his spells arent amazing like you say. Your only good nuke lategame is magnetize. Carries are strongest late, earth spirit is NOT strong late at all

I'm sorry, but at 223 hours, you are not in a league where you can play Earth Spirit efficiently.

Earth Spirit is not a "single click - damage dealt" hero, takes lot of coordination to pull a decent game and your gameplay is a maze of combos.

He is played a support because he isnt that item dependent. You may be able to purchase lots of wards in the mean time.

But technically speaking, Earth Spirit is more of an utility, a good initiator, disabler and nuke.
