She is now a late match hard nuker magic damage dealer mage hero.
In ranked, at least.
Unless you’re boosting, and a TI player, you probably are only slightly ahead of the MMR bracket you’re currently “stuck” in.
Crystal Maiden is now a late match hard Mage Nuker, just like invoker, but without being OP since level three or so, like invoker.
Invoker is not a physical damage Carry, but he is still a core very strong late game and he scales.
So does Crystal Maiden.
She should no longer be classified as a support, but she cannot be safe laner, Mid, or Offlane either.
She is awesome, and I’m a Grandmaster on her.
But she is extremely horrible early game, as in your safe laner juggernaut is the one supporting you and saving your life, not the other way around.
Late game she is unkillable and capable of turning ANY 5 v 5 team fight upside down.
She just needs to get Six slotted.
I’d rather be a Six slotted Crystal Maiden than a six slotted terror blade late game if you know what I mean.
Terror Blade has to hit every single hero in a single target manner until the kill happens. And he has to survive. The PA will blink abyssal him and he’ll just die instantly.
But with the bad girl Crystal, however, no one can touch you late game, even if you don’t buy a single damage item. No ethereal blade, no dagon, no parasma, no nothing.
Your attack speed will suddenly become slow like you’re attacking an enchantress.
And you will take heavy magical damage nonstop.
Just don’t ulti during the enemy BKB, no matter what.
Just wait six seconds, and then jump.
Is it cold in here, or is it just me.
You will have a hundred percent lose rate in ranked games because the hero is unplayable in normal mode DotA until very late game, not your fault.
And if you AFK farm until that happens, insta reported ban with overwatch conviction because of freaking role abuse. They will never understand that hard support role on Crystal Maiden is obsolete, and there is no current other role that fits her, not even position four.
You are a late match nuker mage.
Accept it.
