In this video from Jenkins stream, he watches a carry Warlock absolutely dominate a nearly 2 hour Herald match. Watch LIVE on Twitch: / 420jenkins Patreon: / jenkinsdota Twitter: / jenkinsdota #Dota2 #Herald #Review
But those are not really heralds. Real heralds dont leave jungle, real heralds buy/rush useless and such stuff. In these videos they even pick support heroes and play them as such. Those are not real heralds
@Phyress1337 as a herald i would like to say that the difference between herald 1-3 and 4-5 is massive. Herald 4 and 5, like myself, actually play the game pretty well if I do say so myself. We tend to be the people who have 1k-1.5k hours and who just play occasionally for the fun and mess about, plus I mostly play modded or turbo dota which is its own whole shtick. Most herald 4 and 5 actually are try harding to get better, when I played ranked and hit herald 5 everyone was pulling, stacking, moving couriers out fountains, hell we even dragged waves. It's the herald 1s to 3s that simply play drunk or for shots and giggles that we normally see, occasionally you get some better games and tbh I'm all for it, it's still noobish and questionable decision making, but they know how to play the game. I came across a dude with 11k hours in herald once, thought he was a smurf, turns out he's just been playing for ages and just wanted to mess around instead of taking it so seriously. Herald is like 20% people who have played like sub 10 moba games overall and 60% people who are pretty good at the game but are just messing around. The 30% is for people who are about to leave herald cause they grinding ranked.
heralds are so extreme at everything that they do. but by far my favorite that i watched from jenkins was the drow player that din't take his skills and just maxed out the stats for her ult. and the riki who every time the wisdom rune spawns he's immediately there to pick it up. and that would happened without fail. even in the middle of the clash. that video dint stayed for long tho. i wonder why but man. that was my fucking hilarious!
max stats drow was a thing in DotA briefly. Or you get drow+venge dual lane each stack wraith bands + helm of dominator and suddenly giving each other 100+ bonus damage as well.
@@Dezdichado1000 then dominate wolf for more damage aura like wtf. That lane is impossible to win against. 2-4 shots from each hero, then you can't fight.
You would be suprised what skills are oddly well practiced in herald. They have no clue how 98% of the game works, but dammit they saw a dota meme 2 years ago and now have one skill. TBH I saw more people using things like armlet toggle and tread swapping in 100mmr 2 years ago than I have in the entire time I'v been at 3k. That said I have also never saw anyone swap or drop gear to regen until ~2k. And wards were myths until they became free.
I was a 3k player back in 2017, had to quit the game because of studies. And after 7 years I came back to the game and directly calibrated my mmr and got herald 5😃 I completely lost touch of the game but I will eventually get better, I hope😀
I wouldn't worry too much friend, the standard of play for your average player has got a lot better in the last 7 years, so you're gonna be a bit behind
Herald is not as bad as it used to be. as someone teaching a friend whos brand new to the game I have noticed they dont get detection and they dont ward so you will have to do this yourself or lose. But... they do know stuff like attack cancelling, illusion micro even. they are a lot better than NA Heralds (im EU) judging by jenkins vids anyways lol. They also know lanes and roles (mostly) but you will get 1/5 games where you have the wrong hero in the wrong role or lack of communication and 4 people picked a support lol
Honestly I would watch a TI for Heralds, pro dota has been so boring for me, but these videos are so entertaining I am starting to think Heralds are just so much more fun than any pro game in the last 2-3 years (not like I've watched them all, but for the most part I don't get excited for pro dota anymore).
How come heralds don't pick up neutral tokens or get boots? And they buy wards? I thought they'd single mindedly work towards anything that makes them better 1v5-rs or get t2 boots way too early instead of buying vision
4:40 I did the soyjak face at the nut bounce, saw it coming (like the 2nd bracer on SB) but was still impressed. Emergent good plays from Heralds are so entertaining man.
Jenkins you are only hope. You have the connections to make this happen. Understandably BOT TI was an insane amount of work and just not feasible, but the concept could potentially be even more fun with Heralds. 5 heralds on both sides all as the same hero at level 10, 20, and 30. Determining who is the best hero. Please make this happen
Most times I'd be having a hearty laugh at your clips. I'm a huge fan of your clips man, but could you please consider doing it solo? No hate towards the other guy in the clip, it's just that it won't feel like "Jenkin's herald review" I've been wanting to share this thought for a long time now and i did
seeing this makes you wanna play warlock only to instantly regret it when vengeful spirit swaps you, literally any hero jumps you with orchid, or... you know, your enemys buy useful items and not cluster needlessly XD
The only time Warlock used Upheaval the whole game was once at the end when it was pointless. They could have easily won the game had he remembered that spell.
