          I ban SB every game, fuck him, AM has never been a problem for me since 6.84, he's just been annoying as of late though. There's just something about the hero, the way he moves, his animate portrait, his avatar, his playstyle that triggers me cause usually people who play him think they're the best on the team.

                        He'd be an instapick/ban in pros if he's as broken as people say. Oh look, he's not.
                        Just chain disables properly, deny his farm early(both lane and jungle), and deathball.

                          BECAUSE in pro scene you can have a good communication and clear objective within teammate but not in "PUB" that's why his winrate is high at the begining of 7.07 despite the fact that player from 1k to7k picked this abomination.

                            AM can be very elusive from start to end of the game. This hero , no matter what, will always be as one of the top heroes in DOTA 2. From escape to the go to hero to carry and win the game, AM is definitely the hero you can rely on. I played this hero 2 times or 3 times since I am not really a melee type of player but everytime the opposing team picks AM, there is a big chance that they will win especially on late games.

                                Just fix his goddamn comeback potential and he's okayish... The aghanim introduction made me cry for weeks without end as a support player, and the blink illusion made me catatonic. The +25% spell protection sent me into a maniac-induced laugh/cry marathon that caused 90% of my reports to go to enemy Antimage-pickers. Making BF cheaper didn't help either and almost made me download LoL.

                                I love the comments, though, about "just" chain disable him, deny him farm in both lane and jungle... As if he didn't have a team with him, and he's the raid boss at the end of a 5 hour long WoW raid previously unsolved by players and devs alike.

                                In pubs, this hero is hella broken. In coordinated games, it's much less of an issue as long as you play perfectly. Like, fucking spot on.

                                  the only problem anti mage has is that nobody knows how to play him effectively

                                    if he can't comeback he's totally garbage

                                        He was always mediocre to trash.
                                        LIterally not a problem at all.

                                        I mean, HE MAY BE an issue, if you have no CC/have no brain at all, but overall it's a bad hero.
                                        He can't fight for shit and you just rape his team/base.

                                        I honestly don't see, how he's as strong of a hero, as people make him out to be. No matter the patch.
                                        Overrated as fuck. He solo wins only if his team solo won his own game at the start, which kind of makes him pointless, hence you could replace him with any actually good carry hero in such a scenario.

                                          What's wrong with AM?

                                          OvO|Mexido

                                            AM aghs is overrated
                                            if u can't outdraft him just make pressure on the map so that his supports will need to move out of safe lane, then u proceed to fuck his early game so that u can play the game 5v4 until 25/30min where he just comes back anyway, it's not a hero that u can erase from the game, but u can sure as hell slow him down

                                              @Snu

                                              He can't fight early-midgame, has a high base networth needed to be useful. Gets easily killed lategame.
                                              The only actually strong part of him is split-pushing.

                                              Why not just pick Sven? Why not pick Luna/Jug/Spectre/Slark?

                                              AM is the most overrated hero in the game.
                                              Only strong, if his team licks his asshole relentlessly/manages to have total freefarm and overfarms enemy carry by 1-2 slots.
                                              Given equal farm, he's mediocre.

                                              @OvO|Mexido

                                              If he would have BF+Manta only at 25-30, then you might as well consider it as "erasing", because AM with bare BF+Manta 25-30 minutes in is a creep, who dies in 3 hits.

                                                      Anti-mage carry is like a Rubick support (overrated trashy heroes).

                                                      At least that's as far, as my personal experience goes.
                                                      My average winrate drops down to 50%, once I have AM in team (I simply don't have a carry in half of these, harder to win 2 cores + Anticreep vs 3 actual cores).
                                                      Same for Rubick teammates, for which it drops to 48%.

                                                      All because these heroes are weak/overly hailed, despite their obvious weaknesses.

                                                      No matter how many high pts games I've watched, in most of them Anti-mage was either carried hard by his team at start/had freefarm from the start/had his throne falling 25 minutes in, while he was creep-skipping near enemy T2.
                                                      This also confirms my low pts experience, where it's just the same, except even worse.
