Wildsoul a competitive pick?

[[DWi]Chancy]

yeah, 1k hp / 8 armor / 60dmg/6armor roar is so bad for an ult! ROFL!

hes top tier for similar reasons why syla is banned alot in comp dota.

Great pusher / decent carry / harasser

definately underated still unsure if the Dota or HoN metagame suits wild/syla more. Dota's still a turtlefest so pushers > ganking team. HoN meta game hasnt developed fully yet (+ still waiting on more heroes).

Just thought I'd point out some flaws I see in your arguement.

cons:
lacks disables

Booboo with IAS procs a lot of entangles. Combined with the now 3 second cooldown, it's the closest thing HoN has to a Perma bash. Since it's also on your bear, it's effectively has 1500 range.

wildsoul pretty much dies easily early on if the enemy focus fires on you..

You should be in the jungle until level 6, at which point you have your ult, giving you a massive amount of bonus hp and some bonus armor, making you very, very hard to gank. Combined with the fact that you can always teleport Booboo behind you when running, I disagree.

buying booboo items early on means wildsoul having shitty gear early game..

Booboo has 1500 right click range, which means that Wildsoul can fog abuse for the majority of early game fights. Although when you come out and fight you'll probably have more HP/MS/AS then the majority of other heroes once Wild comes into play.

requires medium micro management.

I disagree with that. It's the grand total of 2 units, both of which can be set to control groups. Neither of which have "Clutch" abilities, it's basically fire and forget (Wild + Battle Cry) It's not like you are going Puzzlebox Ophelia with a Whispering Helm. Aside from a hero blocking and stacking 3 neutral camps at once, the hero is very simple.

pretty much screwed against disablers with nukes..

Isn't that true of any hero, but less true for Wildsoul. Early game your bear can attack all these heroes while Wildsoul is safe in the fog. Late game you have enough HP to survive their burst.

booboo entangle is good when it procs but its not very reliable

That's what the IAS is for.

I keep seeing this answer, if most agi characters are left unchecked they can do this. That doesn't really make him a competitive pick though does it?

The problem is you have to leave someone like Night Hound alone for about 25-30 minutes straight for him to be a problem. You leave Wildsoul alone for maybe 15 minutes at the most and he's got a Mock of Brilliance and your in deep ****.

No, this was corrected a few versions ago, Booboo coun as an ancient Creep, You can't control him, and he will only be frostbited for 3 seconds and will be in the air for 2 seconds. ;P

[[AS]Kietharr]

I don't see him ever being an obvious firstpick/ban but definitely usable under certain situations.

[A1ias]

dude. use your head. 1 hatchet on wild, another on bear.


as for what makes him a competative pick, he can become one of the best tanks ingame. (+1k health from ulti).

add to this the ability to put a basher on both your char and your bear, along with massive dps on both, and you have yourself a killing machine which comes closest to permabash in HoN. ( Bash on wild, Bash on bear, and root on bear).

Are you stupid? why would you buy two hatchet at level one when wildsoul starts off ranged? I simply assumed he meant buying 2x hatchet on booboo on level 1. Hatchet + stout shield and a heal is standard build and you should only get another hatchet for wildsoul once he reaches level 6

booboo hurts, entagle op imo.

wildsoul isnt a horrible pick, I think MSI picked him up in the gosugamers tournament
