EPTAlso, 2009 thinks Halberd is a really good item. He's been obsessed about it in almost every game lol.
Also interesting that WE bought Veil on AA in both the series vs iG as well as vs Panda.

Link to replay please! That must been the time Shrapnel caused instant damage and not DoT? | ||

Well, who doesn't think Halberd is a really good item anyway? It completely disables the carry for forever and has a really short cooldown, while giving all very useful stats for a tanky person to have. I believe it's an absolutely amazing anticarry item, and is able to completely shutdown a fed carry in teamfights. | ||

Goes way back so it will be kinda hard to find the replays.... | ||

I'll admit I didn't think much of the item at first. But honestly, even without considering the active, the stats it gives are very generous. It's cost-effectiveness is still quite good, regardless of how strong you think the active is. There's also the fact that Syllabear, who is a staple carry in Chinese play, specifically has trouble against it, because while most other carries will have BKB or Manta to clear the disarm, buying BKB for the summoned bear is quite cost-ineffective until super lategame. | ||

and veil is a good item to see in play, that WE game was pretty hilarious, it doesn't really matter if your semicarries lack raw damage when the other team has negative armor and negative magic resist ~_~ | ||

Have you seen DK vs LGD yet? DK ran another teamfight magic damage comp as well.

A lot of Chinese players have stopped buying Vanguard after the nerf, opting either to buy Janggo, Vitality Booster, or one of the Ogre Axe items instead. There are a few situations where someone happens to end up wanting all 3 Vanguard parts and so ends up building Vanguard anyway, but IMO at this point it's not an item you'll expressly make unless you already wanted all 3 of the parts individually (e.g. you started with Stout, were in a lane where you feel you need the RoH regen to stay in lane, and needed a direct HP source as well soon after that). | ||
