WHY YOU SHOULD PICK ALPHA BEFORE MORE PLAYERS REALIZE HIS POTENTIAL 

Alpha damage is really strong, but the buffs still didnt fix his flaws and only improved his damage but he keeps dying if he cant get close to the enemy main dmg dealer

It definitely made him stronger but not op. It also makes him a little better than before. Maybe they should bring back his second skill's attack speed buff where he'd get attack speed according to how many targets he hit

I'm using Alpha since his 1st version, and I am really impressed with what they have done. Alpha really deserved this buff. It's his time to shine.

In terms of how strong the new Alpha is, his power level is on par with peak Terizla (around the time of Vexana and Faramis' revamp), which means he's borderline OP. However, his strong point is only on the sheer power of his true dmg, which is different with Terizla with his dmg reduce + 2nd skill. Since Alpha lacks any "beefen up" abilities, he isn't as broken as peak Martis from several months ago, which for me is one of the time where a hero can be that OP

I love your editing. You put real game situation clips right after the explanation of every alpha's skill which is easier to understand. Some youtubers will compile all skills explanations in early video then just show real gameplay only

Alpha's True Damage is crazy now....... you can literally two hit people because of how his passive goes. Partner it with endless, it's half hp taken away just from true damage

I think what most players don't know is that his damage is actually almost the same as the old one, the PROBLEM with Alpha is the DELAY of his skills, therefore it's also a delay in his damage, one adjustment i thought of is combining all of his passive damage into 1 strike. So this adjustment almost has the same damage as old, just with a bit more faster animation. In short, the faster animation(and therefore faster damage) is what made this guy better this update

small tip playing alpha; when ambushing an enemy off guard, try to cast your 1st skill before dashing in with your ult to have beta locked on as soon as alpha comes up

The only problem now is if your ult hits, and the enemy flickers away, Alpha cannot perform a basic attack (unless he use extra mov speed), and the enemy don't take the extra true damage from his new passive. So in my own opinion, Alpha + petrify is kinda good now with burst/semi-attack speed build.

True damage counts as skill damage. Building Bloodlust Axe now helps to heal even if we run out of skills, although the heal is very less.

When alpha says “I am the true model number one.” he really Became TRUE on that

Alpha is also good with thunder belt since you will need the mana if you're not playing jungle role with the blue buff and the slow effect is useful.

Moonton's favourite child Alpha is finally op after so many revamps

I also noticed that when we are being stunned while using our ultimate, the ultimate will activate after the stun and we ended up using our ultimate on the previous location of the enemy.

I used Alpha 7 times during my first placement games this season, and he's pretty good for me. But I lost all placement games using Alpha because the matchmaking system just gave useless braindead teammates to me for no reason 💀

My main is alpha what i can say about this revamped is he can counter enemy with wind nature with the new passive but i think if they didn't remove the stackable attack speed he is much better. If they can't bring back the attack speed they can just bring back the 3 beta attack every 2 stacks then add 3rd stack for alpha which activates the new passive every basic attack = beta attack or just make it every 2 basic attack = beta attack in 2 stacks...

cant wait to see this @ MSC 🥶 and Minotaur too

Alpha is strong on this patch. Already using him and easily dominates most of his counterparts though he's still susceptible to cc heroes 😁

alpha is like argus now...by1 they won, enemy run they die

And also, at Lvl 1 as a jungler Alpha the 1st skill will help you proc his passive and increase your jungling speed by some time compared to using his 2nd skill at lvl 1.

While playing alpha just finish as quick as possible. He has high damage, can easily damage multiple enemy and low cd. Late game he became squicy

I got my first savage with alpha before the buff, I found him strong even before. Now he's a force to be reckoned with🔥🔥

Alpha now can back to EXP lane with Petrify, recently just bullied a Arlott with Alpha.

Yea its a bug for almost most hero where when stunned it casted sometimes in random location instead, get frustrated a lot of times

he now has a insane burst damage potential that pretty much makes him an assasin. But he can easily be bursted down and cc which is his weakness

As a alpha user, this is a great update for alpha. But theres a thing.. i dont know about the passive, cuz the old passive is great for killing the enemy with a bit of health left to finish the enemy off. But overall its okay for me.

Another buff they can add: His 2nd skill gives him magic and physical defense stats every hero it will hit. A small update to balance this out is lower the damage or heal of the 2nd skill

6:06 I'll just see it as him being short circuited for a moment and the command didn't disappear. So he just executes the command immediately after being jammed. Might as well do it on Saber

This is a great buff for alpha, and I dont think they overdid it, all it takes to kill alpha is to stun, burst, or gank him, balanced buff for me personally. Btw if anyone's gonna try to use the trinity build make sure to add 2 defence items on his build otherwise you're just removing Alpha's way of surviving in teamfights (bruteforce chestplate & Oracle or Antique Cuirass & Athenas Shield/Radiant Armor)

I'm really surprised on how fast his ultimate's swing is now. It looks clean!

Honestly the Alpha we have right now feels balanced since he is literally a glass cannon now. Aside from the mountain of true damage. I feel like some amount of his true damage on his passive should be reduced but bring back the movement speed buff when casting 1st skill to close the distance against the escaping enemies.

As an alpha main and a nearly top 10 country Alpha main, the buff is so good and kind of op actually to certain kind of heroes (most exp heroes that got no blink skill are kind of weaks to beta slow and true damage, even terizla and thamuz also die at lvl2 compete lane ) but very weaks to hero that had crazy slow effect (heroes that are good pair with ice wand, for the example valir) and Franco (yes, for nearly 50 matches i had play with alpha after the buff, franco are the one that make me suffer most of the games).

Thus is a huuge buff. I used to play previous alpha a lot too, in rank legend. And he was already very good as a fighter with vengeance. Now he is easy to play as jungler too. I think its a hero that a lot of people mistake for being weak.

For current Alpha, start 1st skill instead of 2nd skill if you are jungling

i've been playing alpha for a while and i can definitely say that he's extremely op if used properly

Endless battle and Thunder belt☠️

Bro I'm new in your channel and I like this video so I'm gonna subscribe your channel

Alpha did receive a huge buff and made him some what useful.But he still is weak against stun enemies which makes it difficult for him to deal his massive damage. -so in my opinion he's more powerful than before.but still has that big stun weakness that makes him not good against stun enemies.

Yes alpha is really strong rn, the only problem i have with him is that he lacks mobility, when you have an enemy who is more agile than you, the enemy can easily poke you( if it was a long range attack )

It's a bug and buff because if someone stuns you but you triggered ult they will get cc but it won't register but ult will still trigger after the stun.

I don't think the trinity build would be as effective cz those true dmg from basic attacks scale with physical attack. The regular 30%-40% CDR hybrid build is better as it offers quick kills on squishies + spammable skills.

He is definitely “balance” now, his early game is strong(he can still get destroyed by dyrroth, bandang) mid game is still good, but late game, he kinda becomes a kamikazi robot if the tank doesn’t go in first. This is only for solo Q exp alpha.

what people don't remember was pre alpha used to increase his attack speed with every enemy hit by his skill 2 for every enemy it hit am I the only one who remembers?

Alpha with Thamuz usual trinity build is a menace as a Jungler Core xD

6:29 that Alpha ult cast is definitely a bug, many times CC stop me from casting ult and so in that time the enemy has already moved and my ult still goes, then you know the rest with a missed Alpha ult haha. Moonton, pls fix

I am an Alpha and Minsitar main and I have to say I liked the pre reworks better. Slinging abilities and kiting is much more fun then just auto atking in place

He’s a snowball type hero you must perform good early or else it becomes a waste pick.

Ran him with Trinity, corresponding def item+ Rose gold, inspire and fighter emblem with full points in hp and def with festival of blood talent. The opposing dyroth wasn't too experienced and didnt have a good time 1v1 in the early till mid :3

I was one of the players of alpha when he was still least picked in ranked. heres the thing, alpha is yet weak and cant go near to late game mm heroes if HE GOT CC'd hard. but alpha can already painful at level 2, as long the user's skill accuracy is good. at this point i have never seen where in SEA players, ban alpha. although i see them getting picked frequently now. and as an alpha main, im happy that he is getting some recognition in the mlbb once again, cheers alpha users!

Elgin is not happy. Elgin having one tone on his voice 🥹

He's definitely better, but his ult issue still persists... Sometimes, when I try to ult backwards to escape it jumps forwards towards the enemies chasing me... And yes, that delay in ult after enemy cc is also a problem just like Elgin had addressed...

I'll try to play alpha since 2 days before and it brings me in Mythical Honor rank with 9 winstreaks . I can say that his skills is Over powered than before specialy if I build sustaine items like War Axe plus spell vamp like Blood Lust Axe . This item is my main damage item and the rest is for defense items . I didn't already use the trinity build but ofcourse Mr. Elgin mentioned it so maybe I'll try .

heck, if they never removed his 2nd skill attack speed bonus, he''ll probably be one of the strongest meta heroes right now because his current passive works well with it

I certainly start using alpha and see this buff on alpha as opportunity for me to make him as my main hero. But in most match when enemy pick alpha, they usually go for jungle role which is average and for me i usually go for exp lane so i can utilize the battle spell to my need in match. So use alpha on what role you like and not based on pro player since you gamestyle is different. I literally tank the whole squad alone and got two savage😮

As alpha main, I can say that the difference of damage is quite high. Back then, Alpha is so weak that I had to play safe when fighting any other fighters. He can't even kill MM or Mage with 1 combo and it always get me killed instead. Now I can play more aggresively, even steal buff before 5 minutes. Still using cdr tritinity build, haven't try BoD yet

OMG i wish i could do that too. you just got a support

not sure what exactly happened, but i remember alpha being meta jungle during the launch of war axe. and iirc, he already deals true damage back then.

I think lowering his dmg little bit and adding defense stats will put him in meta. Since he is a tanky fighter

After his buff, Alpha has helped me climb from Mythic to Mythic Glory by playing solo. He is really strong esp in EXP lane.

I might say the buff on alpha is just balance, alpha can turn the table once he get a chance to build his core items, might be fighter or tank build

After buff Laning with him has improved.

His ult has a crazy short cd. That’s the why. And by crazy I mean crazy.

Hey @Elgin i love ur contents have been following since long time.. Love from Nepal ❤️🇳🇵

Alpha lacks mobility, considering that his only dash skill is his ultimate (which is also his main CC skill) makes it difficult for Alpha to retreat from a losing team fight (especially when he already used his Ultimate) unless you're using flicker. Overall I'd say he's a balanced fighter.

He now actually can become 1 shot heroes

Imo, he’s definitely so much better now, he can actually deal proper dmg with his new passive, can literally melt anyone now, you only need 2 dmg items to deal enough dmg now (Blade of Despair cuz passive true dmg scales with EXTRA phy atk). But.. his flaws still exists as he’s still pretty easy to counter with how weak his teamfight capability is, one he goes in, it’s hard to get out. Unless you get to kill the enemies before they do to you. He’s now pretty much pretty viable in the jungle, beta dmg allows him to clear the jungle super fast now, but his flaws still remain when going into fights, you have to be very mindful when to go in or you may make your team have a hard time. I don’t think he’s far from being “ban-worthy” yet which is good cuz i still want to play him more xD

I use trinity build but only syte and golden staff .. i think alphas main item now is bloodlust axe , i also use thunderbelt also endless battle for multiple true damage ..

Alpha's good when matched against a tanky lineup but kinda lacks when matched against dash heroes who can bait out his ult

He's op as long as your teammates perform perfectly.

I believe this update on him is not that OP, sure he can kill squishy heroes faster but as long as you can blink away from him he can't deal his true damage. And if you're really worried, you can buy the new updated Twilight Armor, it can lower his true damage to you.

Already using him as a Sidelaner and Exp Laner Most of the enemies on exp lane I fought couldn't deal with me... Execpt Freya I hate her

I have felt the difference in Skill Speed. Which is slightly faster now. I use petrified to stun enemies after using ULT. It's very useful 😂.

To all new youtubers like me. Don't ever compare yourself to others, we don't always need to be ahead someone else we know. Sometimes it's not our time just yet. Be patient and keep moving. Good luck☺️

I actually been using Alpha since last month ago I was taking advantage of him before he becomes popular and I got from Legend II to Mythic 30 stars :D

He became to OP to the hero who doesnt have dash skill. Like terizla, bane and many more. The reason is because of the slow and lifesteal. He can outlive terizla by lifesteal even there's no minion in the allied team of alpha.

true! at 6:00 I also get annoyed when I get cc'd while casting ult, it should just be canceled :/

5 seasons.. that's how far he was truly op...

I dont see most alpha players do this but, Alphas passive is still considered as a skill, So even if you build trinity build with bloodlust axe he still has high heal! Its quite insane if you ask me

I love using alpha he have I say to many gap he can fit in my opinion he can sustain hero a Burst hero and a tank to set on enemy on with low coldown ulti

Alpha my main since the very first version and now he is great as hell...I use alpha with petrify if i wanna go dmg and vengeance if i wanna be tanky(btw onky keep his bloodlustaxe when going tank) AND HE IS GETTING STARLIGHT THIS COMMING JULY😊 i think (not yet been cinfirmed if it will be released in july

For me sometimes alpha ult is really fast I just clicked and it automatically hit others

Man my old account has 7k battles with just him. About time he's getting the spotlight. Now more skins

If you are playing alpha jungler, don't think of him as a fighter, think of him as an assassin due to his crazy damage output. If you can dominate the early game with sheer damage, there won't be a late game if you are smart enough to end early. I rarely lost with alpha assassin jungler, and his build is: Jungle emblem (seasoned hunter) or Assassin emblem (killing spree) Tough Boots Hunter Strike Bloodlust axe Blade of Despair Brute Force Breastplate Immortality/Winter/Oracle Overall, there will be 40% (Max) CDR with buff, and you can pretty much one shot any squishies with ur ult. The combo goes like: 3-1-2-BA. Note: Alpha is crazy op when overleveled, so utilizing your macro as a jungler is more important than trying to gank everytime. Work on clearing your own creeps, stealing enemy creeps, taking turtle, and ganking gold lane when there's no jungle to clear. your goal should be dominating early game and end it fast, and it is very easy to do with how crazy fast his jungle clearing ability is.

Definetly alpha jungle is good cause the ult so ganking is op but jungles not that fun and i find its hard to sustain as its spell vamp so bursting is the way to go but really only possible with execute vengence just feels useless

badang also cast his ult after he gets stunned like alpha

Damn the enemy really struggled during the last oart and almost defended with amazing flickers that kimmy and especially their tanm 🤩

Hey Elgin would it be cool if ml had a collab with dc? A hero collab I mean not a skin collab so it would last for not a certain amount of time, but a long one as the game progresses.

His passive is really good for jungling and taking turtles

6:25 Definitely Alpha can toe to toe with tanky Hero like Fred Lance.

Alpha is a very powerful hero but if you miss even one of his skills you become a sitting duck I'm an alpha main and I realized that not many alpha players were aiming manually and become an easy target His biggest issue is retreating

His playstyle is similar pre-nerf esme. You just need to poke enemies with 1st and 2nd skill until their hp becomes low enough to kill them then attack with his 3rd skill. He can easily kill tanky enemies like yu zhong, esme, dyrroth, edith, etc. Based on my experience, the only fighter that can easily dominate alpha is silvanna. Silvanna's damage is too much for alpha

Ive pushes from 50 to 100 stars because of alpha on my way to the global title hes very underrated but he has his flaws since i studied him i suggest playing him like lesley he melts anyone using lesleys build and emblem

Ester show up, apply necklace of durance. Up ult, dead Alpha.

For this new patch, I'm using him as the jungler. But I go with the tank build instead of damage build. Very hard to be killed. 😬😬

My build is tough boots, bloodlust axe, corrosion scythe, bruteforce(or other defense items), oracle(or other defense items), rose gold

alpha is great against close quarter melee heroes but against agile heroes its quite hard to use him

Hey guys...

The buff is so good that in the right hands, there are only about 7-8 heroes out of a 100+ of them being able to take down Alpha. Alpha is one of those heroes if you take advantage of your surroundings and master his capabilities, your winrate percentage will instantly be 60+ to 80+.

Alpha has a crazy jungle clear speed now and his ult cooldown is sick and his dmg is huge i play him as a jungler and i can say that moonton make a monster he is the fastest jungler in the game and iam not kidding about it i think he will change the meta if the pro seen junglers realize him and his crazy speed of the clearing

I know very well of that alpha bug. Until it gets patched i gotta be wary of my positioning.
