Tuskar to contest safe lane with Vanguard rush - New meta? Or cheap trick? in General Discussion
Zenoth

    Alliance vs VG in D2L, forces a 20 minute gg call by VG. Shards are ridiculously good for isolating people and beating the shit out of them even with "defensive" supports like Treant.

    ERMAAAAAA

      I thought it was pretty legit... tower diving like no tomorrow.

        It fits alliance's playstyle well, but the real question is if it the strat can be replicated with consistency. Big difference between a pock surprise strat and a reliable strat.

          Alliance has coordination like no other team has - other teams have tried their strats and failed miserably because of this.

            Like Zeniths no ban strategy against IG its a way to secure a win

              yeah its 20 mins gg, because if its 40+ Alliance will lose LOL

                I do this all the time with my amigo who plays CM. Its the biggest shutdown to a carry lane in a non-trilane duo.

                    ^heh.

                    I think drums/medalian is probably a better pick up on tusk.

                    btw, can you pop the medallion mid snowball?

                    who am i

                      tusk mek might be interesting too

                            @Yfay This is about contesting the safe lane which you can do without the aid of a Vanguard. Sadly Vanguard doesn't help Tusk scale so well late so I go in favor of the minus armor for a one hit kill in ultimate form.

                            @Concede It works but in the same way you can bottle with storm in his ult ball of death.

                              well i know that,
                              but the thread said with vanguard rush, giving example with that alliance game
                              I prefer not vanguard too of course,
                              like you said
                              drums and medallion are so much better

                              that's why i said they won cause they can suppress them within 20 minutes but if it fails they prob going to lose at 40 mins
