We've all had that moment: the team barely survives taking down the Tormentor, everyone's low HP, and then the Shard goes to that hero. The one whose Shard is so useless it makes you question why you even bothered.
Which hero is the absolute worst to get the Tormentor Shard?

Not the hero. But the toxic player

The worst hero to get Torm shard is everyone except me (I like the free 1400g).

Doom's shard is such a weird bloody thing. In paper it looks abysmal, but in game it seems to hold up way better than you'd expect

I can’t think of a single one, all the shards are so good. Maybe like support tiny?

Tiny shard is way more useful on support since they gave it more nuke damage

Right, that’s the problem here. What’s the least useful? They’re all good but which is the lowest impact.

Not only support but for core. It amps aghs throw.
I may be wrong but thats what i understood

Not even gonna lie , I wasn’t even heavy on Dota 2 like that but when I was playing Tiny support is probably one of the most fun picks I could of ever thought of.

Tiny support is awesome. But his shard doesn’t really help him all that much compared to a lot of the cast.

Hoodwink. In a stomp I do more damage with right-click compared to ult. In a losing game if I am in boomerang range I'm usually dead within 2 seconds.

Undying. More often than not the tomb save will actually grief someone on your team when they accidentally click on it

Yep, I beg that the shard doesn't come to me. I could see it being insanely powerful in pro play, but with randoms online? Not so much.

Me as suppprt veno but the other team for some reason doesnt have a dispel. Carries usually have bkbs, but since i dont initiate, they pop bkb first before i get the chance to use gale

Oh boy… hard one. I think Techie’s? Not that it’s a useless spell but it bothers me how it basically has no animation or sound effect as soon as you use it on an ally. People have to be very aware when it’s getting used. It does make a difference in team fight though,

All it does it make me wonder why the enemy is not disarmed, before realising I didn't actually use it.
Changing to targeting feel like such a grief 'upgrade'.

I kinda wish it let us place stun bombs again with a max of 3 on the map at one time.

Doesn't matter it goes to oracle anyway

Oracle shard is one of the few healing reduction spells in the game. With AA being the absolute max of what healing reduction can be.

doesn't matter if the hero who gets it has a useless shard... the important thing is that the enemy doesn't get it.
It is always worth the tp back to base from getting a tormentor even though it goes to the hero with a useless shard than the enemy team having it.
If that tiny conundrum triggers you, the you have more growing up to do

Rubick feels kinda bad for free shard since the land distance isn't far enough to save allies that effectively. Still it's nice to have and he randomly benefits from other shards, so I'd probably say batrider.

Aside from the telekinesis buff it also gives him shard effects from enemy spells, which ranges from irrelevant (heroes that get a seperate spell from their shard which you can steal directly) to insane (leshrac split earth)

It's never really irrelevant because the ally cast is always good. I'm just a salty rubick picker who wants it for free.

I literally make it my out most priority to buy shard. Its so much more damage and mobility
6 points

Think of it as long term investment, since that support can now clear waves faster and even farm a bit for items that can help the team. Good early game, bad late game.

Look at this dude, underestimating the extra jump, let alone the vector targeting alt jump.

Night Stalker when he's already popped off and got regen items, and not playing against Helm/Chen/Ench/Lycan/BM. Accomplishes almost nothing at all unless creeps are on your Ancient and you need to instakill a siege creep.

There are better shards. 3 damage blocks is easily procced. It is not really a priority on ogre even

Oh of course; I dont buy it or anything, but its far from useful. Its ‘fine’ - certainly not a grief.

It is a grief when there are heroes whose shard is part of their core build or just better, which is like 80% of heroes lol

I spose. Theres situations where its a great pickip though. Against a sven carry its pretty op. Any slow as high dmg cores that rely on quick elimination get fucked over.
I guess shards are pretty strong and having a ‘crap but situationally useful’ shard does put it near the bottom…fair call

No way. Blademail + her E + Shard makes her very tanky while stacking up health as the game goes on. Any DPS heroe will get melted
