    Is Necrophos viable as an offlane? He's annyoing to lane against with one point in heartstopper, plus he has good sustain and harass with Death pulse and Sadist. He's also able to take Stacks with death pulse if he needs to catch up on farm. Plus His level 6 gives good kill potential on other lanes.
    Is the he's not played offlane because of his lack of escape?

      He's actually most played in off-lane, and he has the highest winrate there out of all other lanes. At least according to dotabuff stats.

        no hes squishy as fuck and slow and no armor and no regen

        try safelane or mid if ppl don't gank mid in ur mmr

        just buy shit like ghost mek force dagon etc. and u become a fucking monster. every time I see aghs rush on core necro I want to fucking shoot myself

          if enemyt does trilane u will get forced out of lane fast, and after that u can't jungle well.

            Maybe if you dual lane with an abaddon or something. But if you go solo even dual lanes will zone you out extremely easily.

                I play Necro solo offlane all the time and I have 70% win rate with him, I don't like the mid lane with him. (Just preference). If the lane is difficult you shouldn't worry at all, just get as much last hits as you can and force them under your tower, once you have your ult the game changes as you can easily if you secure the kills with it. I just hate a pudge coz he can get you out of position and you die quickly.

                  If you like to be 0-4, level 2, 160 GPM 10 mins into the game then by all means play offlane Necro.

                    Boet is 1.2kmmr necro 70% winrate lets follow his path to high mmr

                      he's pretty shit solo off

                      with a strong lane support like io or lich maybe its okay

                      CoL.Limmp

                        go play necro offlane vs dual get faerje fire harras suport kill get lvll 3 use heals get arcane easy at normal skill u can do it

                        M U R D E R

                          at normal skill you can win 1v2 offlane with almost any ranged hero

                            With Necro you have good lane control because of his range and I can have up to 20 denies in the first 10mins pulling the lane to my tower and easy ganking for mid lane. Necro is really good with items that give armour, makes you really hard to kill

                              Necrophos is a very strange hero and heartstopper should probably be replaced with a new less boring skill imo

                              Il Separatio

                                I used to rush Urn of Shadows, buy Mekansm next and go 4-0-4 max-ing Heartstopper Aura first as a pos. 4 Necrophos :3

                                AMADOOSE

                                  on paper yes

                                  in practice no

                                    heartstopper is what makes necro good later in the game though

                                    it actually does so much work when you combine it with all the shit flying around in the kind of drawn out fights he excels in

                                      People saying it's great are in games where mid and supports never come to help the safe lane and gank necro. He is super squishy early and slow, no escapes so he's food for any competent mid or supports with stuns who actually do something. If left all alone vs most carries he'll squash them with that damage over time but he's so easy to gank.
