If it's a balanced game the other carry is gonna have similar farm, the only difference is that AM is stronger than most of carries at this point because of mana burn and his inner survivability, so that's when you start making moves to actually get an advantage. People who think Magina is that kind of unstoppable carry late game are just completely wrong, he's still gonna be strong, but there are lots of carries way more dangerous than him if past midgame if Magina's team didn't take a huge advantage. All he needs to start being really dangerous is vanguard / PT. | ||

All he needs to start being really dangerous is vanguard / PT. He's not some unstoppable lategame carry, but he farms faster than any other carry with the set item build, Going Vanguard + PT is a completely different style of AM than Bfury+Farm, one relies on outfarming the other team while the other relies on using the high combat potential granted by those items to gain an advantage that is to say If u went vanguard/pt into more small items, the its obvious that u need to gank and pressure and gain an advantage midgame because you farm slowly and your items dont scale nearly as well as standard carry items Conversely, if u have a bfury, your farm ability because insane but your actual combat potential isn't nearly as good as say vanguard + yasha/manta or something, which would lead to a situation where safely farming is preferable to fighting so you can completely outfarm the other team they're both valid ways to play AM, the fact that they both exist is a very large reason as to why AM is a good hard carry, because u can play him as either that ridiculous rice to victory hero or a strong combat hero midgame | ||

Yes, I don't like the concept of the hero, in any fucking iteration. No other hero just says flat out I win harder than it does and no other hero has it's stupidly good everything. | ||

We had a veno and ES so we turtled and dragged the game until 50min, at 50min I almost 1v5d them and then we won despite having a third of their kills. ^_^ classic. | ||

I guess it was common among the players to only know the staff people by the name on their shirts. Saw Gabe Newell a few times as well, but atleast I know who he is! Nice interview, although nothing real new or particular interesting. | ||

Yes, my training methods are awesome. I have a question about that actually? Is quelling blade the newbie weapon? I've been playing on dotacash and see lots of ppl in my -ap games getting the thing. I'm guessing since you're 'training' w/o using it then it's a crutch that is not used at high levels of play. | ||
