🧙♂️ Warlock Is a Position 5 Powerhouse in Patch 7.38c!
In the current meta, Warlock stands out as one of the strongest and most consistent support heroes across all brackets. His lane presence, teamfight impact, and ability to scale make him an excellent pick for those who want to win from the 5 position.
Start with basic regen, sentries, branches, and a Blood Gr***de to pressure early. Focus on maxing Shadow Word first for strong healing and lane sustain—this also doubles as a great harassment tool when used offensively. Follow up by leveling Fatal Bonds, which can turn the tide of fights when cast on grouped-up enemies.
📘 Equip the Black Grimmoire as early as possible to gain bonus XP from kills and assists—this allows you to scale quickly and get your Chaotic Offering (Golem) online sooner. Even though the Golem doesn’t scale as hard late game, it’s still vital for interrupting channeled spells, securing Roshan, and creating space in teamfights.
Pair Warlock with aggressive laners like Marci, Riki, or Undying to dominate the lane early. Use Fatal Bonds on enemy creeps and heroes to push waves and set up kills. Good ward placement is also key—keep vision on jungle paths and rune spots to ensure safe rotations and punishing overextensions.
Warlock’s strength lies not in flashy plays but in amplifying your team’s potential, sustaining them through long fights, and punishing poorly grouped enemies. If you’re playing solo queue and want impact without needing farm—Warlock is your best bet this patch.
