Guest Googles Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Penthos has so much damage from lvl 1 he can 1v1 any hero and he has best mobility with so many blinks and shields like LZ that makes him unkillable. and good plays stack their ults so they can use 3 shields at the same time and never die. and he can tank any tower and kill it at same time. its like best hero in game. his w does no damage but his q is so good. It dont even work with r+q half the time but hero is stil so strong. its like balrog. another gay hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Firstly, don't derail your own topic with mentions of balrog and lz. Pentos' strength is his mobility, and the fact that despite him being somewhat of a tank/dps all his abilities have very high base damage. He jumps onto squishies, and kills them as fast as any other hero with his items, but since he can get onto them much easier than others, you find him harder to deal with. He falls quite hard lategame because he is melee with no damage steriod. If everyone is maxed correctly, he will have a hard time at the later stages of the game. Just don't feed him at lvl 6 when he is at his strongest, and you will be fine. He is a pseudo-carry, in that he can reach his lategame before you can reach yours. If he does, turtle. If he doesn't, you win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dont even work with r+q half the time but hero is stil so strong. its like balrog. another gay hero Penthos is extremely good early game when everyone is seperated around the map, because of his amazing skirmishing and ganking with his skillset. Midgame he is still quite strong, as he can splitpush very well and his ult shields are huge in teamfights, but any cc abilities or tasers (especially tasers) ruin penthos' day since he is melee and has to be right next to his enemies to be effective. Lategame is where penthos is just a tank with little cc. His damage has fallen off, and dueling isn't prevelant, teamfights are king, and he doesn't do well against aa's with galactic/Sliptide/FoE and a team protecting them. There are specific heroes that hard counter penthos early-midgame also. Brine, jackson, and justicar are some of these. Grunty is also good against penthos since he can duel him with his knockback and extra close up damage, darpa can silence penthos (which is one of penthos' main weaknesses), and rancor's stun and wards cause him problems too (wards counter penthos' ganking).

Guest Googles Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 i asked my team to let me play penthos in ih but they didnt let me play any carry. i guess they dont know me yet.

LucKiesT Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 well its not a % come out of Berkeley, you don't need to be a genius to know that, even so tanky pentos has great abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourDiesel Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) i asked my team to let me play penthos in ih but they didnt let me play any carry. i guess they dont know me yet. But ill show them how op it is... eventually Hah. If you try faceplanting into an IH team with penthos you're going to get your ass tasered and smoked. There will be no shield; there will be no last minute blinking out. Penthos might be the best 1v1 hero in the game but he's very counterable with team play.

Revolution Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Last IH i played, like a month ago the enemy Penthos built an FoE and combined with his shields he was impossible to kill. Eventually the enemy team just snowballed out of control and we lost soooo yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysi Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've seen Penthos going more about 50/50 with his win rate in IH. You just have to make sure you have enough damage and CC for him. Jackson is a fairly hard counter with his silence, stun, weapon slow, MS slow.

Spooky Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Penthos seems balanced to me. He can't carry every game, highly depends of enemy composition. Nova can carry every game. There are compositions in which Penthos is very hard to stop. There are also compositions against which Penthos can't do anything. Fact that he can 1v1 most of the AGI carries doesn't mean he is OP. In 5v5 teamfight he has disadvantage because he is melee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 An pen cant 1 v 1 all heros off start theres many ways to deal with him an most people that try to 1 v 1 an lose out right are not really talented right to deal vs him cause most people are glass builds with little hp/def which is what hes good vs is glass targets off start. Same as balrog great vs little glass users but if you can with stand his burst hes useless after if you got the burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
