Marci - how best to use the new hero in the game
Yuriy SheremetOn October 29, a new hero Marci appeared in Dota 2. The players immediately saw the carry potential in him and began to try it on all the main rolls. Best of all, the character took root on the offlane and mid lane because of his specific abilities and small cooldowns on them. A patch has already been released, which slightly cut the hero's abilities, but still remains relevant.
Pros of the hero
- Stands well on the line. Due to his abilities, in combination with an ally, he almost always makes kills in the lane, which is what captures the advantage.
- Mobility. Due to the Rebound ability, the hero can quickly get to the enemy or, conversely, leave the fight.
- Vampirism. The Sidekick ability allows you to constantly exchange with wargs on the lane as a plus for yourself, in addition, this skill can also be hung on an ally
- Fast recharge of abilities. Marci does not depend on long recharges
Cons of the hero
- Low farming speed. The hero lacks the ability to quickly farm and the main way to get money is kills
- Ultimate dependent. The character deals the main damage thanks to Unleash
- Does not scale into leith. The hero's abilities do not improve in any way over time, and closer to the late, Marci loses his strength
- In midgame without Black King Bar, the hero will not be able to inflict damage
The hero has peculiar abilities, so let's take a closer look at what Marci's skills do and why they are so strong.

The hero grabs an allied or enemy creature and easily throws it over himself, damaging and stunning enemies in the landing area. If the target was an enemy, he too will take damage and be stunned.
- Stun Duration: 0.9/1.3/1.7/2.1
- Can be cast on spell immune allies.
- Cannot be cast on spell immune enemies
- Damage and stun are applied during landing on enemies and on a target if it was hostile.
- Can be cast on Roshan, but cannot be moved.
Rebound
The hero approaches the selected target and bounces from it in the specified direction for the selected distance. After pushing off from the target of the ability, the hero jumps into the selected area, damaging and slowing all enemies in it. If you push off an ally, he gains + 35% movement speed for 5 seconds.
Landing Movement Speed Slow: 30%/40%/40%/60%
- If the distance between the target and Marci exceeds 1490 units, the dash will stop.
- The jerk can only be interrupted by death or other sources of forced movement.
- Rebound applies damage first, then area slow.
Sidekick
The loyalty of the owner of the ability helps him and the chosen ally to survive in combat, endowing them with bonus lifesteal and attack damage.
- The ability can be used on allied heroes. The effect can only work on allied heroes, including illusions, clones, and creep heroes.
- With the level 25 talent, Sidekick also applies a basic dispel and spell immunity to Marci and an ally.
- Gives the normal direct bonus damage bonus.
- When activated, Unleash unlocks max attack speed and removes the 700 attack speed limit for Marci.
- Upon completing a rage combo, Unleash releases a ripple around the attacked target on the final attack and removes the rage buff
- After starting a rage combo, all attacks must be performed within 1 second, otherwise the combo is terminated and the rage buff is lost.
- Once the cooldown debuff wears off, she again gains a rage buff with 3/4/5 charges set.
- The charge of the hit is consumed when the attack is performed, missed attacks also consume charges.
Ability boost
Rebound is a key character ability on the lane and in ganks. If you are going to farm the forest, then the Sidekick is taken. At the sixth level, the ultimate is always pumped, with the help of which it is easy to make a kill on the lane. The most popular buildup at the moment. Most often, not so much is required to win the lane, we just press the second skill at the enemy on CD and throw it over ourselves.

Talents
Players take the same talents because of their difference, the choice is almost the same for everyone
Items
There is no universal build, so at the moment there are quite a few of them, here are some examples of players from the mid:
Examples of assemblies from offline:
Most players end up in the Armlet of Mordiggian, which always looks good on power heroes.
Black King Bar. Without this artifact, Marci can't do anything in midgame.
Desolator or Crystalys are damage acceleration artifacts that allow us to unleash the full potential of our ultimate and make it possible to quickly kill the enemy.
Satanic/Assault Cuirass and Refresher Orb are late game artifacts.
Heaven's Halberd does not look so bad as usual on enforcers, especially if we play offlane
What role to pick?
Marci can even be taken as a support for the fourth position, for this she has everything she needs:
- Good paired with an aggressive hero. But the easy lane in most cases will have to secure the first few levels, and in this Marcy is weak.
- All her skills scale very well with the level. Even a buff whose cooldown is reduced from 36 seconds to 12.
- The hero is contact, and the skills have low CD, so something is required for survival in teamfights.
Another reason why Marcy will play the most stable support is her talents. 5 out of 8 buff the hero's skills and only one level 25 talent buffs her carry potential by + 50% to vampirism, but since the buff is applied to two heroes, it will also be useful to support Marcy. All other talents are good for either initiator triplets or support.
Good mid
Due to his cheap skills, he can easily win the lane and get the necessary starting advantage in order to go to dominate the map.
Offlane or corr
The advantages of a strong lane can also be revealed when paired with a support on the off lane, but it is not recommended to take this for carry. Have already checked that it works very badly. Marci has a very low farming speed, which is why she will always be lower than the opponent's carry on net worth, the main advantage of the character is snowball, which is difficult to implement in the core position.
Marci has to constantly be in the middle of the battle and fly in early, take her on the carry and invest in her most of the team's gold does not seem like a good idea. Moreover, she has practically no abilities to speed up farming. Her talents are further evidence of this hypothesis.
