How to play a decent jakiro in pubs? in General Discussion
Sucksatphy

    Hi all,

    I saw krkshka's 92.59% win rate with jakiro. And I am fucking amazed!

    I started playing online games recently and my mmr is 2k [horrible, I know]. But I want to learn to play Jakiro well. Until I saw those records, i thought Jakiro cant kill a lot.

    Apart for the dark seer+ Jak combo (Wink taught me that, thanks!), are there other effective ways to play this hero?

    To make the question more precise:

    1) In solo que pubs, how viable is Jakiro?
    2) Which heroes have natural combos with Jakiro?
    3) Most items are situational, but are there some important cores on Jakiro?
    4) Would you kindly share some cool videos, or instructional articles on Jakiro in pubs?

    Thanks, <3

      2- void, invoker, dark seer, trent
      3- Most games i got for, Meka, Agh, shiva, hex then heart or pipe
      4- what replays of good jakiros

        Really good jakiro baits enemy team to follow him up hills and choke points, where he ice & ults. follow by dual breath. Contrary to pro builds u should only skill ice thingy 1 rank ti later levels. Max dual breath and know it's max range and aoe. Mek/urn and force sfaff is also mandatory for him also.

          imho, what makes jakiro amazing is he has push, anti-push, area denial, AOE damage, and a debuff for both enemy carries and enemy towers.

          My prefered build is 1/1/4 followed by 4/1/4. I used to max icepath, but i think its best to max liquid fire first.

          His weakness is that he is slow and turns like a VW bus. Though Arcane boots are an obviously good choice, i tihink phase boots or tranquils help greatly with his positioning, and with a single int item he wont run out of mana. If you are going mek you need to get him arcanes though.

          euls is also a very good item on jakiro.

            it's a defensive hero.... not good for offensive play, so it sucks for pub lol

            I mean it moves too slow... way too slow...

              jakiro reks towers and his stun has great range. Hes not just defensive.

                  Use the 'Stop' button on the keyboard to land ice paths better. Don't care whether your ultimate hits 2 people or not.

                    I'd say he is best when you have a reliable aoe stun to start the fight with (tide, magnus, sven, tiny etc). Also void chrono and naga sleep are very good for setting up the "jakiro combo".
                    He is slow, but one of the tankiest supports. As items, usually I buy wand / arcanes / mek / drums / eul. Force staff is good, but I find eul better because it gives you move speed and its active allows you to setup your combo on a single target (lift target -> ulti -> icepath -> dual breath).

                    BTW, krkshka has 69% win rate overall, so probably he can get that win rate with any hero anyway.

                      krshka is a known pubstomper and abuser of swedish superior genes. Try not to archieve what he did.

                        jakiro is good against a juker puck. puck phases shift, jakiro icepath that spot, gg puck

                          Personally, I like Arcanes -> Mek -> Cyclone. Add Force if you're doing well or replace with cyclone if you're struggling to farm. Sheep if you're doing really well, but probably won't have anything more than those 3-4 items in a close game.

                          Absolutely max ice path by level 7. 2.2 second huge aoe stun every 9 seconds for 90 mana is redic. Very spamable, even with minimal farm. While his autos are pretty short range, he is naturally very tanky, especially once you have the mek up.

                          In team fights, drop your ult, mek, mana boots, and then try stay away from the fight, coming back to drop ice paths and dual breaths when it comes off of cd (~10 seconds or so).

                                  jakiro mid hero, vlads core ^^

                                  6_din_49

                                    Is this related with some beers being bought few hours ago?

                                      Jakiro is awesome, he can sorta gank, he can lane support, push, stop pushes, team fight. He does everything a support should do except nuke. I think he's viable on any team that is lacking some cc and/or team fight as long as they have enough dmg/nuking since all his dmg is aoe dot stuff. But like others said he works really with with others who have team disables.

                                      I really like mek and force staff on him. Mek for regen, makes him pretty beefy, and he's a naturally beefy hero to start with, force staff cus he is super slow.

                                      I generally try to split push lanes if carries are farming, just don't get out to far to get ganked, then always show up for team pushes and fights. The big thing is you want your team to fight before the other guys get bkbs cus once that happens jakiro's team fight is pretty much nil. However in pub play you'd be surprised how few players get bkbs so maybe it won't matter.

                                      In team fights your job is to follow up the initiator with a well placed ice wall, hopefully getting multiple enemies in it and crucial targets like their high dps carries so you can burst them down. Don't worry about perfect placement of your ult, just get it down near your melee carries so anyone attacking them will pay the price. Keep your orb up on their right clickers as much as possible.

                                      Jakrio is really a straightforward support hero, you need proper positioning like any other support. The only real unique thing about playing him is the ice path range/formation time and timing that.

                                                      @ALL: I will try the Eul build in some normal matches. I have never bought a Eul in my life, lol. Disabling a unit entirely in a teamfight is, perhaps, useful.

                                                      Thanks for all the suggestions and combos.

                                                      P.S: Why does it say some NSA thingy on EA Fuzzy Wuzzy's post?
