Hello Armies. This is Mr. Frog Hubient again and we are here for another dota 2 hero spotlight. And today we are going to feature one of the best support heroes in the current meta. Ancient Apparition.
Ancient Apparition has been pushed to the top of Dota 2’s rankings by a metagame that revolves around core heroes. Due to his unique ability of preventing healing, the ice demon has a 55.12% win ratio. This is the highest Dota 2 win rate. He is the most successful hero in all brackets below Immortal where Broodmother and Meepo take over.
His base kit has very little to do with the power of Ancient Apparition. Although Cold Feet does some damage, the stun has a built-in solution to its target. Ice Vortex is now cheaper, but it doesn’t do anything until level 4. Chilling Touch can be used to help the hero with his mediocre lane presence.
Ancient Apparition’s ultimate ability Ice Blast is the real star of the show. The massive area-of-effect spell can be cast globally, instantly killing foes once they hit low health. Most importantly, it prevents any healing for the entirety of its 12-second duration.
Ice Blast counters almost every hero on the list in one way or another. Meepo’s Ransack no longer sustains him in fights. Spectre’s regeneration from Vanguard and Heart of Tarrasque get shut down. Dazzle, Necrophos, and Warlock all lose key parts of their kit. Even Dark Seer, Underlord, and Enigma get their precious Guardian Greaves negated by Ice Blast. Other metagame picks such as Huskar and Lifestealer have difficulty playing against an AA.
Only a few heroes can counter Ancient Apparition or at least play into him. The Ice Blast is destroyed by Wraith King in his first life. He then reincarnates safe and sound. Centaur Warrunner can climb to Ancient Apparition and start the fight.Ancient Apparition is the creator of the 7.29 metagame. However, you wouldn’t know it from his pick rates. Despite his phenomenal success in pub matches Ancient Apparition is only the 25th most selected hero of 7.29. He has a 65% win rate in 20 Dota Pro Circuit matches.
While not as flashy as some of the other metagame terrors, Ancient Apparition is undeniably the best Dota hero to grind MMR right now.
Well that’s it for Ancient Apparition Hero Spotlight. What can you say about this hero? Again, This is Mr. Frog and catch you in the next one.
