Super helpful video Torte! The part at the end that explains the need (or not) to curb your opponent’s midlane is so helpful for thinking about choosing facet and (initial) build during the strategy time of the picking phase.
As a QoP main, this is how I've been playing her since I foundout the masochist facet. About the Q, to be honest, sometimes I forget that it existed (ever since they removed the healing). LOL
Doubling down on lifesteal is generally not a great idea. If a hero innately heals themselves, that's factored into their balance - which sounds obvious, but it means things need to be taken away to compensate. The first thing to go is usually damage, then mana, cooldown, range, etc. If you have lifesteal and damage, it likely costs a ton of mana (and look at QoP). If it heals for a lot, it probably doesn't do damage on its own (think Legion Commander counterattack, it doesn't really do much damage until you've built some damage items/gotten stacks). So either the synergy is good but your hero won't function because you didn't buy, for example, mana regen, or there's just not enough damage innately to actually make the lifestealing worth it.
Yeah, I saw dota protracker and 100% builds use dagon as first item. But I'm not really sure why QoP's attack range and speed being ignored, I prefer build: PT, Orchid, Voodoo Mask, witch blade, BKB, Kaya and Sange, Parasma, Bloodthorn, Revenants Brooch. It deals massive DMG at late game, and pretty good at mid game. It also increases your farm speed. But in this build there is a massive downside, orchid is trash item in a lot of games, because it is easily dispellable. But today I had 5 win streak with 15/3/13 kda average at 5k+ MMR in Europe. It is probably not dead build.
I haven't played dota much since the new big patch especially because I felt like my fav heroes were straight up nerfed or reworked into oblivion like Tinker ... fuck.. And QoP seemed super bad but this simple short straightforward and mega informative video (srsly well done) will bring me back into trying some games Thanks
I'm a Divine/5k player for a very long time and I started playing Dota again recently and your hero builds are so helpful now and in the past few years. I didn't know you had a youtube channel. Subbed!
What if we keep the voodoo mask and upgrade it to bloodstone later? Aoe in late game is insane, you have wider 3rd , more area of 1st skill after scepter , and more area of silencing if you got shard…
My playing pos is 3 and I wanna try pos3 qop but kinda afraid to get flames by my teammates at 4.4k rank as they all seem to be arrogant and toxic as fuck as if they won multiple TIs in a row lol. Also my behaviour score is 12k and still suffering from those ruiners, afk players etc
Don't play QoP Pos 3, it's very bad and will get destroyed. Play her Pos 2 as she wants levels very quickly to be able to go gank. I feel like a lot of players are scared about mid and I'm like this close to creating a video tutorial on how to play mid really simply.
your Dagon build on QOP is very stupid and affects so many of my games because my teammate QOP kept rushing that shit dagon and always no mana during clash
I'm honored you would call this my build but it's literally from 8K MMR matches and not mine. I only transmit the information and explain why they do it.
@@TorteDeLini OMFG ididnt expect you would reply hahaha im sorry for this comment. i commented this after having a losing streak last night but yeah real talk torte de lini. i enjoy most of your guides bust some of them also is not updated properly.. i know you are doing a lot for the community but yeahhh for noobs or not 8K players WHICH IS A MAJORITY in Dota. some the 1st item builds are not that beginner / mid friendly... idk im just giving feedback since i rely most on your guides.. for example check on sandking again and in slardar :)
I'm testing out our new 1440p quality videos. Do you guys like it? If so, we'll aim to improve the quality to this level.
its much better. Thank you, god of dota!
@@lasyonergerman9180 Cheers! Okay, we'll keep it!

Thanks man ♥️

Really love the dagon meta, as Akasha has always been used as a burst hero
Thanks was trying to build a bloodstone radiance spell lifesteal build with the other facet-but this feels like it would be WAY better! will try next

icefrog rly ruined my qop enjoyment with scepter changes, but nuking them with dagon gives me similar rejoice
simple clean and super informative

That's amazing!
Definitely not a dead build, just different ramp-up and timing!

I think you're the only Tinker player ive ever met

Welcome back to Dota and glad you found my channel

Thanks for the video. I'm not the QoP player but my friend is. Shared this to him as well
Cheers ♥️
Orchid malevolence > witch blade
It provides everything witch blade does plus ability to silence hero's for an extra 1k.

since 2014 you're the guy whose guides i blindly follow and exclusively use. thanks for everything you do
Cheers to ten years ♥️♥️
Do you recommend just basic dagon lvl 1 or having some upgrades to it before other items?
On my games, I suggest level it up until 3 but if you're doing really well, rush it to 5 then go for Kaya/Sange.
Just lvl 1. Arcane boot, dagon. Then build this 4 item, sequence depend on game : agha, kaya sange, bkb, shiva.
Keep it at 1, it's just for the lifesteal and burst
My order is orchid/bloodthorn Kaya dagon witchblade parasma
Bergstrom Ridge
Nice idea, do you think it could be played pos 4?
No
No because you rely on dagger to harass your enemies

Will dagon be good as invoker core item?
No
Yummy new play style, i love it
