I suppose Murky is good on Dragon Knight. The fact that the objective on that map is split up means spread out fighting, which is ideal compared to 5v5āing where Murky just gets blown up, especially before 13, especially in the beginning. Murky can also grab the objective and doesnāt have to be worried about dying afterwards and can try to maximize structure damage. And heās real good on a lane; he can simply pressure the enemy laner off over time / deaths and eventually get the objective, and his constant respawning on the lane helps protect the lane from mercs, pushers or simply minions. Also plenty of mercs on that map to take/bribe.
Murky isnāt as ideal on āhold the itemā maps like Blackheartās, Nuke and Spiderās map, since he can easily lose what heās holding.

He also can get a lot of stacks for his Slime on the Dragon itself, I once stacked my quest upon reaching level 16 thanks to the dragon knight.

Extreme gamble in QM, where Li-ming exists. His safety bubble helps a lot with denying Genji resets, and if heās decent he can hinder Dehaka and Alarak through slime. But ming outranges him and greatly benefits from his death, even if he just gets AAād to death by Valla or ZJ.
Speaking of which, ranged AA is the best counter to Murky. You can safely kite him down, kill his puffer, and easily outtrade him in lanes. Just watch out for Fish Oil at 16, as he can then slow you at range.

Murky tier is real. But at least it isnāt Tassadar tier.
I, too, would hate seeing Murky regularly in pro games
Murky is pretty OP in games where the players donāt know how to soak and merc properly.
That means all games below diamond, which is about 95% of the player population.
In other words, murky is OP lel
Yay, cant wait for you to explain heroes to us yaay
