Are they unplayable now ? I've tried draksars, d'elim with some success, constructs yikes, grints yikes, doesn't seem to be many themes that build up that are any good. Also with most of those themes i'm having trouble with the rush, i'm probably just rusty but I even got rushed on that 2 font fw map when I was playing draksar, and I got rushed by ash the bandit princess to boot. Sad I know, how do you guys handle the rush typically ?
Lol. I can’t help with advice as I always rush with every faction. Just can’t help myself. When facing a rush I just out rush them.
Fairies were mostly built around adaptive, dispel is now a thing in every faction and even on champs with range so no go for fairies. Trees don't really need to build up, neither do archers, d'elim are still good though.
Haven't seen fairies played in any game i've played against k'thir, typically if they were a top theme they would be getting played.
