ftFades Deadlock Weekly Report

Each hero below has its own review box again. Use the loss patterns as replay topics first, then compare against the stronger pattern before changing the build.

Clear path heroes

Venator - Survivability/timing issue: Vitality timing appears tied to the losing pattern.

Wraith - Spirit path issue: review whether Spirit buying reached a real power spike or became scattered.

Warden - Spirit path issue: review whether Spirit buying reached a real power spike or became scattered.

Victor - Economy/item tempo issue: the pattern is defined by lower total spend at a key midgame timing.

Seven - Spirit path issue: review whether Spirit buying reached a real power spike or became scattered.

Lash - Weapon investment issue: the losing pattern points to heavier early weapon spend.

Use these hero boxes as replay checklists. The patterns are signals, not proof: compare the losing pattern games against the stronger pattern games before changing the whole build. Treat items listed under watch carefully as possible already-hard-game buys before treating them as the cause.
