He was already pretty much permaban in 1v1 tournaments, so the additional buff to Astral was way over the top. Whether he'll be useful for anything other than winning the lane isn't guaranteed. Nyx can beat him | ||

The only way Nyx wins is against terrible ODs that start leveling Orb too early or don't get enough points in Astral.

Eventually he runs out of mana, and your mana burn is damage. He will out last hit you early, but he can't spam, and you can kick him out of the lane in 4 to 8 seconds later on. It's almost as bad as necrolyte. | ||

It's almost as bad as necrolyte. Mana burn CD and mana cost are trash early game. You get astralled once and you dont have enough mana for a second burn. If you level burn, then you ruin your burst damage. If you buy mana/regen you lose out on damage whereas he doesn't because intel gives him damage. Stick doesn't feed you enough charges to cast 130 mana burns. | ||

Also you're talking about OD here, he will get his mana back, one way or another. it's not a stick that'll make you magically gain 20int. Perso I level up his aura before emprisonnement (lvl 1 astral ofc) and only get his ult at lvl 10. | ||

Max Astral is by far the best for pure 1v1. For ganks, having all 4 ranks can be awkward (leaves too long of a time for enemies to TP in and help the person you're ganking), so sometimes leaving it at 3 is better. Particularly with the buff, there are quite a few lanes where you don't need the 4th rank to keep your lane opponent permanently on 0 Intelligence--and if they have no Intelligence left to steal, getting the last rank doesn't do a whole lot. Ult at 6 or later is dependent on playstyle/matchup. The CD is quite long, so having it and not getting a kill with it is quite awkward--some lanes allow for you to use it right at 6 and get a kill, while some lanes are harder to force a kill on, so you get it later.

Perso I level up his aura before emprisonnement (lvl 1 astral ofc) and only get his ult at lvl 10. Also, even if the matchup somehow gets to the state where OD and NA both have no mana (I guess it's possible if OD gets super unlucky with essence procs and NA gets super lucky picking runes--though as a melee with no pushing skill vs. ranged, he should never get the chance to leave for runes), OD still wins because he's a ranged hero with higher base armor, base damage, and main stat growth than NA. Hell, even if NA got to the point where he had enough mana to burn OD, he still wouldn't outdamage Tranquil Boots healing, and would still get out-lasthit by virtue of being melee vs. ranged with inferior main stat growth. Even if all the stars aligned perfectly to help NA in the matchup, he would still probably not win--just not get crushed like he should. | ||
