How are you supposed to counter him? I think he has an underappreciated high skill cap and can, apologies, snowball very well.
Insane range on ice shards, BKB-piercing ulti with a guaranteed initiation, loads of tricks/disjoints with the snowball and sigil is underrated (although the bounty is a bit harsh)
With Silver Edge he can do 1k burst every 30secs (Silver Edge+Walrus Punch+Snowball)
skillcap is very low, the hero is annoying and can really solo people and farm fast like out of NOTHING, even after raping him in lane
Just FYI, look at the heroes I called out long before the patch....
how is he strong? weak laning, can't push, fairly easy to escape from. but he has nice teamfight potential. I'd build him as a aura bitch and not as ganker though, if I ever play him again.
wasnt that around the time of the Tuskar video?? ofc he wasnt op then...
When tuskar had a weak laning ?
He has pretty much the fisure 2.0 for laning, sigil is broken, his ult might look a bit weak, but it's actually a half laguna half roar.
And snowball, one of the strongest spell of the game. both defensively and offensivly.
his sigil is stronger than before, fucking shit i cant take it down in less than 5 hits and that shit slows me and escapes too
i feel like he is very squishy, but I played him very oldschool aswell, without taking point in sigil.
He has a few abilities that work against magic immune not just his ultimate.
I think he helps too on some of the popular heroes right now QOP, Lesh etc.
And most of all if you get good with blink you can almost always get away using your snowball/blink combo.
he's weak because he's more useless than most other heroes if he does not figuratively snowball
ice shards block much less territory than fissure and are harder to land as well
snowball is one of the few skils that can actually screw your team over more than if you hadn't used it
and punch is pretty weak if he's not figuratively snowballing as well,
pair him up with someone and he owns? sure that might be possible, but you can say that about tons of other hero combinations
@i love u butt
"winter is coming"
It's summer you little shit don't ruin it for me
Hero is nowhere being weak. Dno what youre on.
Dont know what bracket you play in but in any 6k game hero is super useful.
Quite agree to memelover the weakness of Tusk if it doesn't snowballing well at early stage. Recently i played a game of tusk and found that it quite weak on laning phase, pressure to carry or supp if individually at offlane. Maybe I still not used to it and i think it should be stronger if against some glassy carry because i against a DK). Without the early snowball and I died few times during the early game, I planned turn into support but luckily my team found some good initiations and teamfights and I managed to turn back 3rd position and get some utility items to help on my team.
This hero become one of the most impactful hero in teamfight. The block, the stun and the punch can easily burst an enemy support hero or lock down a core hero. I also found that the Sigil is really a good skill in teamfight or vision control too !!
Overall I think the hero is quite good if play it as position 3 or 4 together with some hero with BURSTING SKILL. :D
haven't played him much, but it's pretty fun going offlane with soul ring, spamming shards and being an all round nuisance.
His problem is the choice of role. He really isn't that good of a support, not a good mid, not a good carry. The only option is offlane really and he won't get shit from there against any proper trilane. His mid game is where he is really fucking good.
IMO he's more effective than beastmaster. With low HP support enemies it's like a killfest late game. Was just in a game he picked off our ally wd & dazzle on every cooldown.
I experimented with Tusk as a counter to Void/Enigma/Magnus. Idea is to blink in and hide your teammates in snowball out of Chrono/Black Hole/RP. But I never was able to get my blink in reasonable time to make any difference. Did anyone else attempted this?
"His problem is the choice of role. He really isn't that good of a support, not a good mid, not a good carry. The only option is offlane really and he won't get shit from there against any proper trilane. His mid game is where he is really fucking good."
This + the fact that he really need to snowball early.
in a dual offlane he does alright, or just get soul ring and spam shards from afar if you are 1v3. if you can't do that, he ganks decently too.
I prefer to run him 4 position duel offlane and do the roaming to rune and then possible mid gank.
In the right matchup mid he will do super well but I stress right matchup mid.
He's not super op but he's so freakin easy to combo. You know how you have those games where you're raping a juggernaut and then he randomly runs into you not by a creep wave and presses his ult and you die desipte having triple his networth? Tusk is kind of like that, really, insanely easy/cheap combo with snowball/ult that can kill people stronger than him even if he has no items or has bad positioning otherwise.
i just lost and fed to tuskar because he can snowball people while snowballing... i wasn't sure, i sure as fck am now.
piece of shit op hero
Let's not compare tusk to jugg in ult killing power. Tusk doesn't just hit a with no items and kill people strong then him that's a huge stretch.
What I'm saying is and what the guy referenced was those times your out laning jugg and then he hits 6 catches you away from creeps, hits Q and your dead.
Tusk losing a lane doesn't just snowball into ult and kill with no items. Now he may use his q, w, and his ult and after a few auto attacks kill you if no one is reacting. It just doesn't work that easy.
Hero is strong but needs to snowball or falls off hard. Blink counters his snowball skill easy though.
haha if uw ant to improve the punch buy deadlus and iceshards are really helpful if u know how to use it :) im a pro tuskar :D :)))))

Just a few weeks or so back I remember Tusk was in ~90th place regarding popularity and now he's 43rd. Was that because of new Aghs or a new set from the chest?
