          zeus is good in pubs regardless of pro meta. i have absurd winrate with zeus in my team, and shitty af winrate in the other team.
          this hero is just not fair

            He gets buffed every patch, they will probably stop buffing even nerf him after pro's will pick him up in alot of pro games.
            But I guarantee you that will never happen so that basically means endless buffs for my boy Pudge = more stomps for me.

              sometimes u get games against smart people and they pick mres heroes and stack hoods and you can't kill everyone fast enough. plus theres certain heroes like jugg that do a lot to mitigate your damage, howeever if people dont know how to play these counters you can get some super easy wins, it's like playing tinker on easy mode, with lower max damage and cc potential

              example game where my hero got countered: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3397560751 . i have a lot of damage but it doesnt matter if i cant kill people

                      Pros usually don't like weak laners. Chained delayed items and faster items for enemy aren't easy to recover from.

                        Nimbus is strong.

                        Mind = blown the day I realized it's global.

                          Can confirm this hero is nuts, especially when the people you play against follows the Valve recommended guide and thinks Hood is just for tanks.

                              I've played vs a aghs rush Zeus and it was disgusting.

                                zeus is very strong counter to Tinker, Riki, and generally heroes that do not build BKB and has no escape ability.

                                if the meta is Tinker, then zeus will be picked very often.

                                his current best build is octarine , aghs, refresher.

                                he needs 4 team heroes that can chase and lock down as well as providing vision.: puck/spirit breaker/spectre/bloodseeker/qop

                                  His laning is kinda weak till level 5 and his damage is heavily mitigated by Pipe which quite a popular item right now.
