Sylph is the new Dota 2 hero! What do you think these four new abilities do? in General Discussion
raven

    So I was going across some Reddit and this is the news I found. I guess I'm pretty late. All that's known so far can be found here: https://www.dota2today.com/speculation/sylph-new-dota-2-hero/. The four abilities are: Grapple, Shadow Realm, Flash Powder, and Will-O-Wisp. Give your thoughts!

          Sounds like a flashy support hero

            Sounds like another int hero when all we need is an agi hero
            The problem with 4 spirits is that with 3 we have 1 int, 1 str, and 1 agi spirit, but with 4 spirits one attribute gets 2 spirits and that's imbalanced

              ^ New attribute confirmed for 4th spirit. Luck. Each 5 points of luck gives 1% evasion and 1% crit chance.

                    UPDATE GUYS! 2 NEW HEROES HAVE FINALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED! - https://www.dota2today.com/news/two-new-heroes-the-dueling-fates-update

                    Erase Humanity

                      Looks like a melee agility carry, because strength carries usually lack positioning ability. I think his abilities are somehow similar to Rolling Boulder, Germinate attack, Stifling Dagger and Break.

                        One carry because scrubs love carry, can't let down their expectations and one support so we don't have too many carry heroes.
                        They say LoL launch new heroes this way too

                        Hopefully Sylph is a spam caster hero like Leshrac, Sky, Zeus, Timber that can be cores.

                        fx

                          I hope tinkerbell is a mid/safelane(i prefer safelane) carry hero. It seems like a really fun hero to play tbh but i didnt like puss in boots because the hero sounds like riki 2.0 with break.

                          fx

                            Puss in boots sound like a roaming hero while tinkerbell soundlike a lane support but i want tinkerbell to be a carry

                            Erase Humanity

                              If Tinkerbell is indeed Sylph, there is evidence that her abilities are quite similar to Puck.

                                He's wielding a sword and named Zorro, if he's not a carry GabeN needs to fire someone.

                                  Not sure, but loli-ish fairy hero is amazing by design.

You like to kiss ass of any pro without any reason. U have no right to critisize it u bastard .

                                                  BEHOLD: Syplph 1. "an imaginary spirit of the air." 2. "a mainly dark green and blue hummingbird, the male of which has a long forked tail."

                                                  air spirit confirmed, named sylph

                                                  Any Q'ers?

                                                    incoming invisible sylph hero able to move through the forests unseen and gank unknowning foes:

                                                      dota 2 lul, just like how your mother rides me daily. It must be genetic.

                                                      Väinämöinen

                                                        will probably be a roaming hero.

                                                        he jumps around a lot in the video, and rolls around (initiation). maybe him cutting BB's pins hints at a armour reduction skill, jumping on magnus hints at a stun. I would be really hyped for a new roamer.

                                                        the other one kind of hints at a jungler? maybe he can jungle while affecting lanes with the "wisp"thing from his lantern. seems appropriate, since there is currently no hero that farm can jungle creeps and affect lanes at the same time.

                                                          May be zorro ult is passive Break chance or active Break wih charges or low cooldown.
                                                          Seems like he will be an offlaner/roamer

                                                          The hot fairy loli seems like she will be a support.
                                                          And thank goodness if she is too, not enough viable support options.

                                                                After watching the trailer again, it feels like he is not a carry, he seems more like a roaming support, because he seems to be a lot more utility oriented than DPS oriented. There is evidence of disarm, break, force staff and a ability similar to Rolling Boulder/Savage Roar/ Snowball.

                                                                      Player 281121816

So doom, silencer, night stalker, lion, shadow shaman, Shaker, void, nyx etc counter mobility in some way
                                                                          Not enough catch for elusive heroes isn't a problem in a Shaker and nightstalker sk and nyx meta.
                                                                          U forgot puck

Ee said this where there r so many hills where u don't have uphill vision, so these heroes with catch can jump u around these places and just win team fights like that.

                                                                          A
