Why are anti-mages so fragile?

Why are anti-mages so fragile?

Among the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days, the discussion about the Dota 2 hero "Anti-Mage" has remained high, especially players' doubts about its survivability. This article will use structured data analysis to explore the reasons why Anti-Mage is "squishy", and provide solutions based on the current version environment and player feedback.

1. Analysis of the basic attributes of Anti-Mage

As an agile core hero, the Anti-Mage's basic attributes and growth values ​​determine the upper limit of his survivability. Here’s how Anti-Mage compares to other popular agility heroes:

As can be seen from the table, Anti-Mage's base health and armor are lower than other agile core heroes. Especially the disadvantage of armor makes it easier to be killed by physical damage in the early stage.

2. Version environment impact

The current version (7.34) places higher requirements on the survivability of anti-mages. The following is the winning rate and appearance rate data of popular heroes in the past 10 days:

The popularity of high-burst magic heroes such as Zeus has further amplified the "brittle" weakness of anti-mages. Although the Anti-Mage has a spell shield (passive skill), he is still powerless when facing multiple bursts of magic damage.

3. Player operation and equipment issues

The survivability of the Anti-Mage is closely related to the player's operation and equipment selection. The following are the common equipment combinations and winning rates of natural enemy mages in the past 10 years:

The data shows that the anti-mage who chooses the Black King Staff (BKB) has a significantly higher winning rate. However, in order to pursue the efficiency of farming money, many players give priority to the Clone Ax instead of the Black Emperor Staff, resulting in insufficient survivability in mid-term team battles.

4. Solution

In order to solve the problem of "crispy skin" of anti-mage, players can improve it in the following aspects:

1.Outfit adjustment: When the enemy's magic burst is high, give priority to the Black King's Staff instead of the Clone Ax.

2.Skill points: Appropriately increase the spell shield level in the early stage to reduce the impact of magic damage.

3.map awareness: Take advantage of the high mobility of the Anti-Mage to avoid unnecessary team battles and focus on development and lane.

4.Teamwork: Request teammates to provide control or protection to create an output environment for the anti-mage.

In short, the problem of anti-mage's "squishy skin" is not unsolvable. Through reasonable equipment selection and operation skills, players can fully utilize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and exert their core power in the later stage.
