Since last year, the pages of the magazine have been discussing the rules for filling out and...
There are 2 days left until the long-awaited update. Now let's name the characters who are most likely to receive a noticeable nerf.
Most teams and pro players say that they are tired of the current version 7.19d and are waiting for the release of a new global patch. Valve has revealed its cards and announced the release date of that long-awaited 7.20 - November 19. It turns out that the current gaming meta is living its last moments. The global patch will inevitably bring balance changes to almost all characters.
Less popular heroes will receive buffs, and "imbas" will receive nerfs that will worsen their results at a distance. Now we will introduce you to the main candidates for the nerf in patch 7.20.
Ax
The red-skinned orc was a real discovery of the current patch. He is the only character who can creep-skip behind the enemy T1-T2 tower from the first minutes. To do this, he needs to purchase two shields and a small amount of regen.
In addition, it has a number of other useful features. Ax is one of the few characters who has the ability to control enemy heroes who are under the influence of magic immunity, or in other words, he can hold an enemy who has pressed BKB.
Ax has excellent starting strength attributes, allowing him to have an excellent hit point pool and high health regeneration rate. It is worth noting that the advantage of Ax is that he can bring a huge advantage to his team, and at the same time he can be in the 3-4-5 positions, and not in the first two. Absolutely all the orc's key abilities have a slight cooldown. This factor makes Ax an excellent hero for 5v5 mass fights.
Another thing that needs to be mentioned when describing this hero is his incredibly cool talents. If Ax survives to level 25, then his Berserk Call turns into a real “mini RP” or Ravage. It becomes almost impossible to miss with this skill. In addition, if you feel a lack of damage, take the improved Counter Helix talent. It should be noted that Ax’s spinner deals pure damage, which means that our hero works well against “dense” characters with a lot of armor. It should also be noted that Ax has a unique ultimate ability mechanic that can “execute” the enemy, making it impossible to save him.
Ax is an excellent solo killer of carry characters and many heroes with the main characteristic - Agility. After all, an integral part of Ax assemblies is Blade Mail. In most cases, the enemy hero can stop hitting the character who has BMed, but not in the cases of Ahe. After all, the enemy always responds with blows to the “provocations” of the red-skinned orc. It is worth noting that Ax can press BM after a successful aggro, which greatly simplifies the winning combination.
The only disadvantage of Ax will be if the enemy team has something to shoot down his Blink Dager. Then our hero will be in a disadvantageous position and will simply become a target at the shooting range. But if the enemy team has a majority of melee heroes, then such a situation should not arise.
Ax Pros:
- Possibility to creep-skip starting from the second wave of creeps.
- Control abilities, even for characters under BKB.
- Excellent starting attributes: health reserve and HP regeneration.
- Strong and useful talents.
- Possibility of solo kills.
- When lvl 6 appears, can kill enemy couriers with 1 ability.
- Small skill cooldown.
- He occupies the 3-4-5 position and does not lose his importance in team fights.
Minuses:
- Very dependent on playing position. If Ahe loses an advantageous position for initiation, then he becomes useless for his team.
Popularity of the hero in public:
As you can see, Ahe is popular among players with high MMR. In addition, in all ratings, the red-skinned orc has a positive win rate - the best indicator of a character’s strength in the current meta.
Popularity of the hero on the pro scene:
Ax is the leader in popularity at The Kuala Lumpur Major tournament by a wide margin.
Such “imbalance” almost always leads to a noticeable nerf. So you don’t have much time left to enjoy the game as a red-faced orc. Global patch 7.20 will be released next Monday, and most likely we will see an already degraded Ax in it.
Arc Warden
With this character everything is much more complicated. In inept hands, it will look quite pathetic and weak. But in the hands of high-level players, AW is a monster. It seemed that this was how it was supposed to be, and the hero did not need any nerfs. But lately Valve has been making changes to the game with an eye on the pro scene, not amateurs. Therefore, Arc Warden, although it has not been at the “peak of popularity” and recognition for a long time, it cannot escape the upcoming nerfs.
Why is Arc Warden so powerful in experienced hands? There are a number of reasons for this, because the hero uses unique game mechanics that are not available to other characters. For example, the ultimate ability AW summons a double of the hero himself and can use artifacts of the main character. For example, AW uses two Midas or summons two packs of “micro-heads”. In addition, he has the opportunity to use two hexes or nullifiers. However, these are not the only advantages of Arc Warden.
Another feature that low-skill players do not use is the ability to protect allied buildings thanks to Magnetic Field. By placing a magnetic field on its structures, AW makes them invulnerable to physical attacks (magic still penetrates such protection). More precisely, enemies who are outside the magnetic field will miss with a 100% guarantee. The only way to destroy buildings while Magnetic Field is active is to enter inside it.
It is worth noting that the duration of the Magnetic Field effect at level 4 is 6.5 seconds. Considering the fact that the AW backup can also use this skill, it turns out that the hero can protect allied buildings for 13 seconds, and the cooldown of the ability is 20 seconds. It turns out that Ark Varden has a built-in and completely free glyph.
Let’s not forget the fact that the hero fully reveals his capabilities closer to the late game, and in the late stage of the game it is very important not to die. Arc Warden allows you to use non-contact combat tactics. Having collected the “travela”, the hero will have the opportunity to send his double on the hunt, who alone can deal with enemy supports, or even cores. Don't forget that Zet has incredible attack speed. It is very effective with the Mjollnir artifact.
Pros of Arc Warden:
- Strong latent potential.
- Ability to use active items on your copy.
- Possibility of “non-contact combat”.
- Strong newki.
- Additional exploration capability thanks to Spark Wraith.
- High attack speed.
- The ability to protect allied buildings from enemy physical attacks.
Minuses:
- AW is difficult to manage and its success depends on the ability to use its abilities, which are not all “targeted”.
- You need to be able to control several units at once.
- Very dependent on the initial stage. There is no possibility of leaving the line early.
This is not a complete list of characters that will receive a nerf. For example, Tiny will receive 100% guaranteed damage reduction from abilities. I wouldn't be surprised if Icefrog, as per tradition, nerfs Earth Spirit. There still remains the immaculate Phoneix.
All in all, big changes are coming for all Dota 2 fans. For those who want to enjoy the last “strong” days of Axe and increase their MMR a little, then hurry up. After all, there are only 2 days left before the nerf.

Still don't know what Nerf blasters are? Then you probably just didn’t hold this toy in your hands. This is a children's weapon that is beyond competition! Well, will the boys refuse the pleasure of playing shooting games? Are there those who don't like war games? Oddly enough, this is one of the most active children's games, which appeals not only to brave growing boys, but also to some girls. Fantastic appearance, breathtaking design, bright colors - this is what distinguishes all models of these children's weapons.
Let's talk about the quality of Nerf Blasters
Caring parents always focus their attention on finding toys that are of high quality and safe for the child. If you choose a weapon for your child, you certainly want it to do no harm. Would you think that a weapon called Crushing Strike could be safe? Fortunately, it is! Manufacturers have focused their attention on the safety of the baby and not a single toy can harm your child or the target of attack.
Durable plastic is a guarantee of reliability. If you buy one of the Nerf blasters for your little one, you don’t have to worry about possible harm to health. The main distinguishing feature of Hasbro (which, in fact, produces these toys) is that almost all of them have a light or sound effect.
And now, as for bullets, an equally important aspect. They are made of either high-quality foam rubber or plastic with suction cups.
Safe gun for your boy
Still don't know what to give your growing boy? Believe me, he will like any weapon. It could be a regular rifle, or it could be a stylish and modern Mega Bow. You won't believe how much pleasure your child will play with these toys.
Interesting! Many parents prohibit their children from playing war games and aggressive games, citing the fact that this is another reason to show aggression and will negatively affect the child’s psyche.
Psychologists criticize this idea because they believe that aggression is a character trait that is inherent in the stronger sex by nature. For harmonious (primarily puberty) maturation, a boy must play such games, demonstrating, splashing out his aggression, and not accumulating it inside. The child will be equally happy with both the Elite Strife and the Zombie crossbow, because the main thing is that he has the opportunity to express himself and his masculine qualities.
And no cruelty
How can a modern boy express himself? How can he demonstrate his strength? After all, children dream of superpowers for a reason, they want to be significant and useful.
Do you think a boy will feel like a real man if he gives up his seat in public transport to his grandmother or helps a stranger carry heavy packages to the entrance? Probably! But a shorter way is to realize yourself in the company of boy friends.
Nerf blasters will appeal to every boy, even those whose age has surpassed adolescence. Even some men will be happy to play with such weapons. Actually, if a child can realize himself in an imaginary world of danger and aggression, in the real world he simply will not want to do this, and will feel like a full-fledged, real man.
And the price for such toys is so affordable that it is impossible to resist and not please your child with a new, safe weapon. Come again!
