i feel like one thing that ixia has as an advantage against any meta marksman is her sustain in the early game. it's a matter of who snowballs first, as usual, but she's a solid pick if you have doubts in your adversary.
Really helps being able to not build lifesteal items like Haas or DHS coz she had built-in lifesteal. Would actually buy Oraclr for her if enemy had magic damage from mid and jungle
From my standpoint, I really like seeing an actually balanced new hero for once out of the norm that we usually see, but I guess its fair they’re giving her more buff as she’s almost at the bottom of the barrel even tho she’s fairly new
Yeah she's pretty balanced. But should be tweaked here and there. Like getting mov spd when Activating passive. And the lower the hp the higher her heal from passive. Faster animation for unenhanced first and second skill..or just only second skill.
And that's how we always die, again and again, by chasing a low hp hero, it can be sooo damn hard to fight the temptations to not chase a 1hp opps... Especially when we're not Fighters
Yep she's so so strong depends on which hand is playing her❤. She really needs a lot patient when using ulti. If timing is wrong, you die. This build is really match with Ixia. Thank you god Betoooo and have a sweet dream❤
ixia is actually not a bad marksman, just not really an easy hero especially for solo players. but with the upcoming adjustments to her (longer but narrower ult, and passive doesn't stop basic attack) she's gonna be a lot better. the thing is that she can sustain like crazy in laning and doesn't require the most items. Not every hero needs to have a dash skill to be good! She's good even without one
Ixia and Layla are one of the best hero to practice positioning. They win their lane no matter who they're up against (if you play your cards well). But if you got ganked, you can't really do anything. Reading the map and antisipating when the enemy are going to your lane is a great skill to hone.
Stop the cap 😂 Layla cant beat any meta marksmen in the early game so she’ll have to rely on surviving till full build. Gold laners like Brody, Beatrix, and Harith will make laning hell for layla.
nice play Beto IMO Ixia is strong, but like any other Marksman or like all Marksman do, they need some bodyguard doing the tank at the front and thats what your team have in this game which has khufra and ruby that can sustain, even leomord gets beefy when he's riding his undead horse. Ixia falls in the category that benefits or works well with allies that can sustain and thats what separates her with Bruno being one of the most used and meta marksman lately, bruno can somehow manage on his own without much sustain allies which mostly happen in solo queue's.
They should boost her heal from passive when her hp is low, the lower her hp is higher the heal. Or a faster 2nd and 1st skill animation. That will boost her survivability by a lot. And every time she activates passive she gets mov spd.
I remember meeting a confident ixia while using support. At first i was like "damn can this bish win against bruno?imma support her first" then i was like "nah she doesn't need me yeet" seeing she can kill him alone lol
Ixia right now is pretty solid, he can rival meta and some metaish marksmans like Brody, Bruno, Clint, Beatrix, Lesley, Claude and can even rival Yve, who everybody considers as one of the most annoying and powerful mages in this meta. Also it's been a while since I see an Esmeralda gameplay.
It not the hero but the user also I see some people build her bod first item to increase the heal* And also warrior boots getting an adjustment/buff because the physical defense from each stack get reduce by 1 but if u take any type of damage (skill or basic)) the passive will trigger
Ixia true dont have dash but special ability is probably one of the mpst useful and actually really nice . Beto post more videos !!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Agree for the boots 15% atak speed is not so big deal and best in all situations.
For those who are now planning to build warrior boot, wait until the next patch. ( Warrior Boot only defends again basic attack now but in the next patch, it will defend against all kinds of physical damage so it'll be so useful ) Now, You can't use it against Fanny as she deals damage via skill2. Also, you can't use it against harabusa ultimate. He will just easily destroy you. Same with Brody. So, wait for the next patch.
@@myopiamlbb yah, buying dreadnaught armor when the enemy jungler is high burst heros like saber, fanny is the best option we have for now. ( For harabusa, I don't think his early ultimate is strong enough to gank enemy squishy heros ) Steel Legplates is so useless for me. I have never used it once. 😂 ( but, you guys should go for it when the enemy jungler is magic damage dealer. First, buy Tough Boots and go for steel Legplates) As for me, always prefer dreadnaught armor. ❤️
@@myatmin795 I have an early game tank build. Tough boots Elegant gem (for heroes that need mana) Steel legplates Silence robe Dreadnaught armor Then I usually go tough + steel or tough + dreadnaught. Silence robe to follow usually before or after my first core item.
Sadly they removed the bonus attack speed and dmg increase of her passive in her ult, also reduced ult duration from 5 secs to 4 secs, lastly they longer the cd of her ult. Using flicker to adjust the ult is not a good idea anymore cuz of the reduced duration. I don't think the new adjustments will make her popular, she really needs the 5 secs ult duration back and shorter ult cd..
🗿 they removed the attk speed cap during her ult, she's gonna get 2k heal every sec if she builds a wanwan build and ults 4 people, during that 4 sec ult gonna nukem all
Personally i believe that ixia was fine even without the recent buff and the problem was that people didnt know how to play her correctly because when i say ixia in games they always lose while when i played her with a burst focused build in rank i got mvp basically my point is people dont know how to play her that's the only reason she is "bad"
Also betosky a small tip for ixia when you already have 2 attacks on a target get the enchanted attack off and then use skills to get another quickly this is important for burst dmg and healing
I seem to not have difficulty against Bruno in mythic at the moment to me he isn’t every in consideration for best mm. I would definitely say it’s either Brody or melisa
Atp, Ixia is kinda solid, just needs some support to get rolling tho. Only person Ive seen, and used, beat her, especially during laning, was clint, at least coz I don't remember ever losing to Ixia when I play Clint
Oh man i mean if ixia have a good posiyioning then yeah it quite scary in war but againt lolita ,karina ,natalia just straight up make her usless(specialy lolita , just use 2th skill and stand infront of ixia )
Also betosky are attack speed isn't reduced during her ult in fact they gave her 50% extra attack speed during ult state Unless this is before the buff
Ive been following you for years and ur the real MvP of the comunity with such great tips and reflection. However how manny gordish ballz did u eat? ;)
nah she just needs a meaty tank/fighter while she ults to take the brunt of the damage. I usually have a maniac or savage using her, but I only pick her if there are decent meat shields for me to hide behind
That bruno fought with you even w\ minions. Ofcourse what we saw was bruno got overwhelmed. Do not underestimate minions, that truck hits abit hard when u are level 1-3
From my pv, she has no damage enough, I mean, everyone kills her before she makes something, I stayed for a long time trying to kill and Aldous un late, and I couldn't do much
Yeah, i brave to duel 1v1 againts any mm, except the opponent use inspire spell or getting babysits by supports. This Hero strong enough at early, because already have lifesteal.
Unfortunately it'll the other way around for her, they increased the ranger of her ult but removed the extra attack speed bonus [Which really sucks tbh]. Hopefully they apply it back before releasing this update to the original server.
