sportsman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hi is it just that i have the feeling or is erekul op standared build with three mantles + parallax + spell buffer + any preffered item (i.e. yamato or phantom menace) makes him unkillable in my perspective any suggestions?

NoWaterJustIce Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 taser :), that being said erekul is one of the best tanks late game so ignore him as much as you can in teamfights residente 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhaleTits Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 erekul is a great tank and super hard to kill, but he doesn't have the cc or utility that other tanks offer - ie: micro, drake, balrog, etc that being said, he poses more of a threat in a team fight then those heroes (for the most part), especially if you try to focus him. its a fair trade i think.

Psyght Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 erekul is the most unique tank in the game, because of that, i think a lot of people dont realize that he needs to literally be the last person to die in every single fight. focusing him is the wrong way to beat him, he really doesnt have a high damage output unless your focusing him.

True, but I still consider him a nice counter to pulling to crowd team tanks Aka micro, drake... .Yep, you can answer u can taser or anything but then we could speak about a counter to counter and so on. To OP if you change that 2 rubbish Electric Mantle for better things you become GOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTemplar Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Erekul is OP too? O.o this posts of OP heroes are going to far... i'm going to make a post of (Which of the heroes is the most useless hero?) being OP cause any absurd reason, so we can continue this baseless posts =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliwan Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 For Erekul, if you ignore him, he can only use Swarm Burst every 11? seconds and the Weapon-Damage parasite on 1 of you at a time, and execute anybody when they get to ~30% health. On the other hand, if you focus him, he can infinitely spam Swarm Burst, use the parasite on 2 maybe 3 of you, and still execute at ~30% Health-- maybe do it twice...

Mus Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Erekul is strongest when he is being focused by AA. That is when he can become a nuisance in team fights. Best way to counter him is to leave him alone and use spell damage burst to kill him near the end of the team fight. But, if you go up against an INT erekul then feel free to do whatever you please, he's very squishy so any decent AA hero can out sustain him in a 1v1. And in team fights you can kill him with any old aoe spell damage, not a problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwick Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Erekul is horrible unless you let the game go to like an hour-twenty. He can't farm worth a crap for a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Erekul is horrible unless you let the game go to like an hour-twenty. He can't farm worth a crap for a long long time. I completely disagree with this, besides the fact every hero can last hit creeps, erekul can AoE last hit creeps moreover Erek is one of the best ks heroes out there... so yeah..

Darit Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Are there any relevant builds to a tanky Erekul? Kinda looking for some pub games with heroes that aren't known to stomp teams every other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheekyKunt Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 yes, you shouldn't focus erekul first but he his presence is still significant. his q has enough base damage that he doesn't need any int to do damage. his w will shut down your carry. his r will finish off anyone low or delay a drake ult long enough for you to win the team fight. laning phase is easy. his standard items are dirt cheap, extremely useful. great hero overall.

barwick Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 max e.......walk into creep wave with no friendly creeps...... spam q......... profit How many times does the opposing team let you do this? Point is, it's not common that he can do this, just what I think... I tried playing him for a few nights in a row and couldn't get jack to work with him, played him as a tank mostly, with absorber and superheated mantle, just only thing I could seem to get going was jungling. He's such a boat that laning just got to be dangerous even, unless I kept a buddy near. Maybe I just completely played him wrong, but even maxing Q asap didn't allow me to just jungle.

Rem Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 or really anyone with a tazer, the only currently OP thing on erekul is his ability to reduce weapon dmg to .5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
