Crunch main here, I made a hybrid phys and mage build with orb when it came out. Every game I got harassed for building different. Sucks to be creative sometimes, but when someone like you shows how good it is people will like it.
Yep. I used to build him like a bruiser mage back during Paragon. Now I'm liking a lifestyle build with tenacity and a little attack speed to make the abilities and basic chains come out quicker. You're a little squishy until the last 2 tanky items
a couple weeks ago ppl were mad at me for building same build because i was losing my lane but the moment i got lifebinder everyone got the hands and my team stayed quiet lol
3k hours played paragon OG here. Mostly crunch. Aug/giants ring/citadel/void helm/ Mutalator optional but not really recomended due to nerf and omnivamp kinda buns. Aug and giants ring are standard for him id say,from there you counter build into tank
aug elafrostl giant ring citadel void helm kinda slap indeed with a ice skorn to boost aug true dmg in 1v1 or just to strafe around to dodge nasty combo from a riktor in exemple
Ngl chef Joey but I did this a month ago lol it worked but I lost that match lol Edit: I found the vid so it was actually a magic tank/bruiser S mantel, orb, Ella, void, lifebinder, world breaker lol
I have a text message to my brother on Dec 1 that says: Orb of Growth Crunch is about to go hard! Typhoon/Tempest Orb of Growth Oathkeeper Lifebinder Elafrost World Breaker Happy to see you formalize the build and take it further :) Its unbelievably fun but waaay too easy to counter with tainted IMO
Your main goal is to hit level 6 to get a power spike in your all ins. Before then, be patient and farm, don't let the carry get kills on you. I also recommend you go Titan's Crest for better sustain in lane. When minion wave is neutral at the very least, you want to try and force all ins before they poke you out by using your RMB > Q > E combo to lock them down and lay damage onto them. If they have a dash or push back, use (R) to use RMB twice to stay on top of them.
Players like that Belica are the worst to play with. The rest of the team did good maintaining a positive attitude though. Is there any talk in Omeda about getting the report feature added to the end game screen? I always hate taking time to report someone in a match when seconds could matter.
Would you say there’s any benefit playing magical damage crunch over normal build? Maybe even one or two magical items, eg mutilator and lifebinder? Or is just better to go meta standard build
Usually, it will be better to commit to either all physical or all magical due to items scaling only on one item or the other. Maximum dmg you will find in physical builds, where as this magical build trades some damage for more lifesteal and ability haste
There are two big benefits to playing magical life steal over physical. The first benefit is that your opponent often underestimates your trading potential and often plays unnecessarily aggressive. The second benefit is after you get life binder online you excel in prolonged engagements. Because your cool downs are extremely short you cycle through your abilities at an unexpected rate. This results in really good life regen unless they can instant burst your life bar before you cycle through your abilities on them. The damage output is lower in exchange for alot of survivability.
@@JoeYoursTruly Ok and can you tell me why? In the abilitiy tool tips, it says clearly „physical“ damage for every ability. the only magical damage he does is from his passive and only with basic attacks. so how can magical lifesteal work?
It is intended for magical lifesteal to work with abilities, on hit effects, and item actives. So for Crunch or for any hero with ability damage, regardless if it is physical or magical damage, it will benefit from magical lifesteal. That part is planned to be made more clear in a future patch
Ok so yeah, I was chickensoup this game and I was super fucking toxic, I can admit that. It’s crazy seeing it from another angle, great plays by you though

Just when i thought there was no way joe could make a more whacky build. We get mage crunch

Mostly crunch.

53:20 is this jump actually possible??
I think I done it a couple of times, the timing of it is pretty tight. I think you can do the same for Shinbi dash as well
@@JoeYoursTruly it's absolutely possible with Shinbi dashes, but I've never tried it with Crunch
Can we get a “re-crunch” in the chat for our OP homies? They’re about to have a steep learning curve when they switch to predecessor
Something happen to Overprime?
they are pulling the plug its DEADGE...
They are going to spam shift to sprint mode while playing pred hahah
They belica second game definitely wasn’t planning on playing the support role from the start 😂 great game on your end tho
It’s always ppl with the lowest mmr, that talk the most sht. Nic game, felt bad for Zaria. He got bullied all game lol.
I got bodied by a full magical crunch today. Still a great build lmao.
I have a text message to my brother on Dec 1 that says:

When's the patch notes dropping, ma brudda
With Argus patch being pushed back 1 week, that applies to the patch notes as well, so expect to see that drop sometime this end of week!
25:00 that Murdock ult dodge was next level
I’ve been tryna figure out how to do a crunch magic build
How would one deal with a carry in the solo lane as Crunch? Double carry match. It was annoying asf. Lost that match.

Tried this out and am having a great time with it! Do you think this build or something similar would work well in jungle?
It should work good in the jungle role as well!

A hour of power from Joe!
What was the name of the series?
The Prime Championship Circuit or the PCC
magical lifesteal doesnt count on crunch because he is doing physical damage.
When I ran my tests in Practice Mode, Crunch is healing from his abilities (without level 6) when using lifebinder

@@JoeYoursTruly Ahh ok! Thats something I didnt know. Thank you!
@@JoeYoursTruly And you get 17% from the magical scaling part of your ability or from the whole damage?
Ok so yeah, I was chickensoup this game and I was super fucking toxic, I can admit that. It’s crazy seeing it from another angle, great plays by you though
Booo!!
I hope you realize behaving EXACTLY like that is what ensures nobody new plays MOBAs
