    Hi,
    Every now and and then in my archon-legend bracket i play against an invoker who seems way too good with the hero, considering the fact that this is not a very high skill bracket and that invoker is supposed to be difficult hero to play/execute. I usually lose these games with an invoker involved and after these games I'm always wondering if this guy on invo is really that good or if It's something else.

    I've also noticed a trend that these invoker players like to do when it comes to the item-build: Orchid-BOTs-bkb-scythe. The invoker usually always buy these items, many times in the exact order, and when full slotted they can just run around and kill everyone on my team. What really bothers me is that this build sounds really hard to play with in addition with invoker's own skillset, there must be too many buttons to press, right :D?

    Is this just a classic example of scripting or are the invo players in this bracket really that good?

    A recent example of a game I played against an invoker: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/5542428743

      Its a weird account. One day he just put Void Spirit out of his ass, never played it before and maintain 80% win rate on him. Probably some account lending to someone much better.

      Lower brackets are full of smurfs nowadays so you have to deal with them if you want to grind.

        Archon legend are where 90% of new accounts of people who played dota before calibrate. You literally can gets of all kinds. The most common scriptor are techies and skymage. Orchid is actually just broken cuz of how cheap and solo kill potential is high

        Maya says I'm lacking in ...

          Invoker is easy to play

            I don't know how to get a read on people anymore. Are they scripting? Is it a smurf account? Are they borrowing an account?

              Yeah It's frustrating to not be able to tell for sure, but it usually feels like someone's scripting when he's seemingly playing their hero flawlessly and on a level above others in that game. If you're maining invo you're probably really good with it but still, carrying a lot of games on ur own regardless of what the rest of your team is doing doesnt' seem right.

                Yesterday I played vs a guy that Manta dodge even Sonicwave and 100% of my WK stuns. Wk projectile is quite slow so easy to dodge but Sonicwave ???

                Maybe if it was Miracle then ok. He can do that.

                Scripts are usually for Techies and Sky as mentioned above and maybe Invo eul combo. Other that that I doubt. I would say a smurf more than a scripter.
