General DiscussionWhat happened to Beastmaster?

His axes have a debuff that causes you to get more damage. Combine that with kotol blast and the enemy carry just can't do anything.
The carries would obviously try to dodge the blast, but then the lane will push and they have to CS under tower. so ya, very sad for the carries.

But then the gyro meta came along, and the enemy supports just stacked jungle camps and ancients. Allowing gyro to comeback later, and given that gyro is very strong in lane, couple him with decent trilane they can just run them down and kill them. Gyro also can clear creeps by spamming rocket barrage. So yeah, gyro = no more bm kotl dual lane.

the changes to the woods mostly, also the meta shifted from farming passive offlaners to diruptive ones

he's still viable and sometimes picked in pro plays

Axes debuff only works for beastmaster and his units, not all fucking damage holy shit that would be a mess.

OSFrog good idea OSFrog

I play beastmaster brother and the 2nd skill cd was too long. Buff it 45scd maybe and...give back that separate hawk. It so dizzy summoning them all and the hawk ended diving the tower like hulk because i mess up the control unit

U can try too brother. But this hero still good..just his 2nd skill was really confusing now brother

If ur against a weak melee lane, going max axes bm and getting smth like phase blight or phase oov means u can tear through people
Io + bm sounds kinda nuts

I don't think BM has ever been popular

surprising statement come from blue star

My understanding was that he was picked to jungle with iron talon. No iron talon = no beastmaster.

Beast is like a carry by himself and all his units.

It's offlane duallanes now. Imagine beastmaster with an IO or eldertitan. Say bye bye to your meta safelaners that can't do anything like Pa ancient apparition.

No iron talon = no beastmaster.
