General DiscussionI love Firebird

I used to spam him alot (spent a like around 290-ish games on him). I used to play him on the offlane or mid as a core (still does on party matches). I would usually go for a quick urn and veil then followed up by a core item (Radi, tarrass, shiva,etc). I feel like he could be a pubstomper hero cause people cant zoned me out of my lane on my bracket, and that his powerspike on level 6 is really strong (that's why i prefer him on solo lane). I would usually pick him against several hitter carries (PA, TA, SF, SVEN)

Used to have like 70-80% winrate on him when i was about 100 matches with him (even got 4.5 kda average) but then echo sabre got introduced and he got kinda nerfed in a way. But the shit really happened when i pick phoenix on ranked matches, i would never really be given the chance to play him as an offlaner, i was forced to play him as a safelane support cause all the other 4 would pick cores. Dropped my winrate till 60%.
I just feel like Phoenix arent the type of hero you would pick on solo matches because pubs don't really see the amount of potential that this hero have and phoenix without a little bit of farm (especially exp) just kinda feel a bit underwhelming. But what do i know im just a typical 3k player.
