DotP Counterattack: Luna/Warlock Feb 24, 2017

Show notes

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast Cyphus and Roland delve into the newest addition to the DotP network: Counterattack. They explain the premise of the show as a study in counterpicking and attempting to elucidate (DotP's new favorite word) the reasons for the strength of counterpicking strictly by the statistics and whether those relationships are occurring due to legitimate counters or are simply due to an individual hero's current power in the meta. Then they discuss their first attempt at counterpicking. They discuss why they picked Luna/Warlock into a draft of Dazzle, Mirana, Earthshaker, Phantom Assassin and Tinker, the strengths and weaknesses they noticed, and whether Tinker or Luna truly has the upper hand and why. All this and more on the latest edition of the Dota 2 counterpicking podcast: Counterattack!
