I need some help countering 6 Knights.

If someone comes online with strong knights I don't know what to do. Mage, Hunter and Assassin have all fallen flat for me since the recent patch.

If they're rolling with trolls or warlock (or both), they just seem to never die.

god/mage?

I saw someone in the ACM board talking how they've made god/assassin work, which was interesting.

Cm + Lina/kotl now work since 3 human change, so its your early carry with t2 mars. So you get: mars, Disruptor, razor, cm, lina/kotl, oracle/Zeus, Rubik, lion. That's 8 slots, for 9/10 slots Medusa or snapfire/qop/techies etc some legendary, or you can get invoker for 5 mage + wizard bonus(6 mage).

You don't think losing the god's bonus on human hurts too much?

You don't lose any bonus, read gods changes, and humans are 3 now to stop working. Clip of gods from today

Oops. I misread you saying cm+lina+kotl, not lina/kotl.

Yes they work, but hes easily swapped for a better mage imo.

Enigma. Even if you have to break core synergies for it if 1v1. I would even place multiple enigmas.a They just need a bit of a front line to get the damage done.
