I don't see how either of that is bad


Well randoming as last pick means you're not filling the role your team is lacking (usually) and shadow blade on Gondar is about as useful as dagon Furion? It's a 3000g investment on an item with mediocre stats and an extremely situational effect that will only be helpful if your team is already winning.

Dagon Furion is a legit strat if you go dagon 1 before boots. It can be devastating (and I don't go it - I have teammates who do).

Shadow Blade really doesn't help Gondar in any meaningful way.
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

Sorry only play Europe, add me though if you want to scrim/play on Europe. Our USW ping is like 320 so it's a bit high

Lothars Gondar is great multi tasking training. You have to own AND be flamed at the same time!

I went tripple lothars Bounty in one game. I'm not sure if getting eblade now or more lothars is better for flaming.

You will get flamed for every item which differs from the casual pub itembuild anyway. Just like I got in my last game, because I went for a fast BKB as Rhasta against a team which had Lion and Lina. "Y U NO GO BLINK?! ALL REPORT RHASTA !" Just go for whatever flows your boat. It's a game so you should just have fun. If Dagon Naix is fun for you, well then why not. This isn't the fuckign International - but going by some people it feels like it is.

No no you mistaken. This is about flaming your opponents. Do you go mass eblade or more lothars is the question. Maybe even lothars dagon but instead of upgrading dagon you buy more!~@

Get aghanim's and laugh at all the scrubs as they flame you.
Better yet, get aghanim's on every hero as your first item after upgrading boots

Got matched with and against some of the guys here, pretty funny. Turns out, everyone hates Firebolt. Who apparently is a noob Invoker who can only use Sunstrike and Cold Snap. /sarcasm

I sucked, sorry about that. ^^'

Edit: Sarcasm tag to be sure.

That second game where I was PL was pretty hilarious. I randomed PL as our second hero, alongside the huskar, fine and dandy. Then my team continued to pick Invoker + Slardar, and finally a veno. Invoker obviously went mid, Slardar and Huskar decided they wanted to dual carry top, and venomancer came bottom with me. I was happy thinking I had a support hero to help me in lane but he started to compete for every cs and attempt random fights when I was oom. Eventually I decided to become a support PL and farmed up wards + mek but at this time they were already flaming me for not being a carry.

So I started farming the safest place to farm, which was the enemy jungle. I was untouched while my team kept on getting forced into fight after fight that we could not win, so I decided to continue farming my force staff.

Then the game ended.

I had that huge wtf moment in the second game as our courier crossed over several empty creep camps. When I checked it out, I found your army of illusions. XD
