A way to nerf heroes without changing their kits [2]
Dedicated counter hero.
A hero whose entire purpose of existence, is to eliminate another specific hero in the game.
The table below explains its feature.
A non-counter | A general counter | A dedicated counter | |
When enemy team has the target hero | Okay | Stronger | Extremely strong |
When enemy team doesn't have the target hero | Okay | Weaker | Comepletely trash |
For example:
Amid, is a "General Counter" to Celine.
She nullifies Celine's S2, but does not obsolete Celine entirely.
On the other hand, when there are no enemy Celine, she functions too.
HC42, is a "Dedicated Counter" to Celine.
Its S3: Cast a trap non-attack skill.
Any enemy heroes who have their single target attack skill triggered by this trap will be instantly executed.
Celine is the only hero who will have single target attack skill triggered by a non-attack skill.
HC42 is extremely strong when opponents have Celine, but completely trash when they don't.
(See Hero Concept 42: https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/9384002 )
Now let's say a hero with its only skill:
"When an enemy dark elemental warrior hero passively heals when getting hit, destroy it".
All this hero does, is wiping Apocalypse Ravi off all Arena/Guild War defense teams.

You have no right to voice your opinion about a game you never play.
Imagine being stuck at level 54 for the past 3 years but still have the balls to give suggestions and ideas when you have no idea how this game works.
Free speech is a right for everyone. But that said right shouldn't be allowed to people outside the domain they don't know, don't understand and don't try to understand.
Typical dotaplayer post, the faulty logic is literally oozing everywhere.
