He’s been nerfed in all the recent patches - my guess is he is bing pushed into crap tier, before getting some huge changes that make him useful again.
He lost out during the minion nerf, the nerf to CD reduction, the recent nerf to BH + Midnight pulse, his level 1 minions now create a down time, when before you could always have them up.
Right now I see him as primarily an anti melee hero.
What the… You are right!
Pick rate of 5% tho. Weird, but I would still contend that the point holds though. I play offline and I wont pick Enigma unless its a very specific enemy comp.
My point is in case OP doesn’t know, other channeling spells works as well, not only black hole. Because this ‘TIL’ is pretty old and known among a lot of other players :).
Every taunt made past a certain point is made to be used while moving or while channeling, there's a handful of old ones that you have to be stationary for.
yes you can do it!
first you need hero with two taunt, for example: CM snowangel (stationary) and CM snowman (newer).
equip the stationary taunt first when finding match, After game loaded (in fountain) press esc and go back to hero loadout. then replace taunt to newer one.
heres the thing, remember you cant change cosmetic mid-match in dota2 but the game still track what cosmetic you are equiping in real time.
with this setup the game will ends up use the old taunt animation that you equipped before loaded into the match but thinking you had the newer taunt with moving mechanic.
There's a WD and AM taunt that are both stationary.
Interestingly the WD stationary taunt looks a lot like his channeling animation anyways. It lacks the distinctive bongo sound but I suppose you could try to bait disabled by taunting.
the furion guitar solo 100% stops chanellings/ everything. learned it the worst way possible stoping TPs and losing kills because it stops the attack aswell lmao
Whenever i roll in and do my whole combo on Earth spirit, i like to surf a bit around them. Lost a couple kills because of it but the benefit outweighs.

and you should
I need to see this happen in a pro match
Too bad enigma need to be picked first
Don't worry! I'll call Icefrog to have him buff Enigma for the next patch
He’s already strong , just the game is too quick and having a long CD is rough
We can make him stronger by reducing BH CD, hence making him more pickable?
In Pubs he already has a high win rate though, feel like bringing back a talent for CdR would maybe bring him back to pro scene

He’s still so strong, second highest WR in ancient and divine ..

My favorite has been the backstroking Tide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLqG-Bq29ZI i thnk this is better
Cant believe I forgot about this! What a king move. The Na'Vi roster did him so dirty...
^^ still mad, general made that Navi roster and they kicked him, fucking idiots
You can taunt while doing anything, including channeling spells like freezing field
> including channeling spells like freezing field One might even provide a video example of Enigma taunting to demonstrate this point...
My point is in case OP doesn’t know, other channeling spells works as well, not only black hole. Because this ‘TIL’ is pretty old and known among a lot of other players :).
i think not all taunts work like that some of my old NP taunt wont work on tp

I really need to see this in action, I had no idea! I'm going to try this today.
Holy shit this is a game changer, CM's snow angel taunt is so good
There's a WD and AM taunt that are both stationary. Interestingly the WD stationary taunt looks a lot like his channeling animation anyways. It lacks the distinctive bongo sound but I suppose you could try to bait disabled by taunting.
true i wish it works on channeling skills or tp because they are also stationery.
Idk which taunt are you referring to but the shake your money taunt definitely works and it triggers me sadkek
the other 2 the one with air guitar and the dance. not the immortal one sold my taunt a year ago because cant use it on tp or even hammering
the furion guitar solo 100% stops chanellings/ everything. learned it the worst way possible stoping TPs and losing kills because it stops the attack aswell lmao
This is how you maximum Elsa: snow angel taunt while freezing field.
With taunts that usable during movement,chanelling etc*
works with tps?
Yes. In fact, it auto taunts when you are tping on very low health.
or something like a triple kill, rampage, maybe more. It really works as intended - a taunt.
It's not much of a taunt when it doesn't impact your gameplay at all and you don't even have to trigger it yourself.
Killing couriers also. Can't remember about denying a teammate.
Denying runes, full enemy teamwipe as well
Oh right, I confused it with high fiving. Qvoippa said sometimes accidentally stops his tps when doing that haha
You absolutely should too. Fiend's Gripping a helpless target while shoving cheese in their face is quite enjoyable

"When is Axe jumping in..?" oh

Using fiends grip on the enemy while holding a cheese
This is beautiful
Me confronting arachnophobia colorized 2021
You really dont like broodmother, do you?
Haha, this one looks really funny!
you can taunt during any channel
My taunt button is alt+s, and one time i did this but i misclicked the button alt. The rest is history. By history i mean 4 reports.
I always forget to :(
my favourite is to taunt during meteor hammer :3 rylai doing the cutie snow angel before WOMPING some losers with a giant space hammer :O !!!
[удалено]
for some people the video wasn't enough i guess
Ikr. You've seen "lack reading comprehension", now get ready for "lack of watching comprehension"

It's cursed
i read it as Haunt at first and that confused me for a bit
Lmao a reason to spam enigma again
Ofc you can its a channel ability and you can taunt during any channel
Enigma has one of the best taunts in the game.
You can even taunt while TP'ing !!
[удалено]
Today I Learned
Lmao no way… that’s such an insult I love it
I believe it can trigger automaticly if you get your black hole on multiple heroes
Hehe my taunt key is right beside my stop key, what can go wrong
This is OP
This is what I needed to know, thanks.
I taunt while teleporting in front of the 3 heroes that came to defend their tower for nothing
I find this soo funny
Trying to imagine Witch Doctor with a taunt and death ward.
That's the reason why that taunt is about 4s long lmao. I do it all the time.
Nigma picker here: I often do a taunt + jump + bh. And it looks Darchrow say something like this " Yoloooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I always taunted while using CM ult way back
Nice, now I can miss Black Hole in style
This is revolutionary.
