Mantaing yourself without items is just like mantaing with items that don't affect illusions. Useless.

And my entire point was that the items you give the bear are bad with illusions, which in turn makes manta a horrible item to get.

Yes, why get Manta if you're not going to have good illusions
|
yes but your bear will die so quick that items on him wouldnt matter, manta gives you survivability and damages. You don't need specific items for manta to be useful.

Move speed and to break out of something?

But you do need specific items for manta to be useful. its 5000 gold for 190 hp, 26 damage, 41% attack speed and an active that is USELESS without a high amount of stats or diffusal.

Granted, it's fairly rare to get to the point where you're selecting a post-Radi+AC+MKB+small items on main bear item for Syllabear, so each of those scenarios is going to be fairly specific--depending on how farmed the enemy team is when you get to that point.

illusions deals 33% of your base damage, soak up the luna's ult, dispell track. If you think that it's useless as an item then w/e floats your boat. To be fair Yango, i just had a game against a bear with vlads/ac/radi with luna/qop and the bear dies in literraly 5sec. If he's too far ahead, a shadow strike and focus fire will bring him down really fast. We werent even that far ahead.

I never said it was a useless item, just that 5000 gold can be spent better on a syllabear, like BKB its 1100 gold less, does the same and so much more. Luck can also screw you over so you get hit by 4 beams, regardless of illusions.
|
oh man, this syllabear manta discussion is worse than the brag screenshot phase and a lot of shikyo theory dota.
I miss abbadon, he's fun.
|
Although, SnY over Manta on LD IMO.
|
Nah, manta make for tanky melee illusion after all (hp bonuses and armor of true form are kept). I'd go manta before SnY.
Never played bear in my life tho'.
|
just played a game of shadow demon, god I love this fucking hero, so much utility
you know you're playing a great support when the entire enemy team is trying to focus you down :D and even though my team was a 4stack that spoke only russian, somehow we had great teamwork - healing, co-ordinated attacking, 5manning when needed, and they even saved me a few times from nyx/faceless trying to suicide me ♥
it's games like these that make me love Dota :DDDD

i had a game yesterday that was just amusing hahaha
Match 95261223
WR/Pudge/Death Prophet/Tidehunter/Undying(me) vs SF/Sven/Magnus/ES/Naix
Deathprophet & pudge are my friends, DP was useless as he has no idea how to play or how to position himself, i was just playing with him because we're friends. Looking at the lineup its obvious that we need to push early or die to them late game.
I purposely took bottom lane with WR as we are notoriously hard heroes to dive. Worked out fine, with multiple kills/triple kills coming our way with us dying a few times, fair enough trade.
Then somehow, WR snowballed. He became untouchable and started doing things like 1v4/5 and it was amusing to watch haha. They had 3/4 heroes chasing the WR trying to kill him, probably on tilt while the rest of us were pushing the other lane.It was obvious that the WR outplayed them, but it was to such an extent it was funny. The game finished with WR solo-ing the throne with Windrun.
Watch that game for lots of laughter. It was so insane that i was just grinning throughout that game.

Doesn't rabid get dispelled by manta?

I've been playing a bit of Luna lately, and I've been going tranqs, aquila, drums -> BKB -> Manta. I like the midgame power it gives.
I've seen some people go fast HotD for split pushing/farming.
Thoughts on what to build and when to build it?
|
I think I need to keep trying solo CM now. Last two times I got queued for it I ended up as captain.
Managed to even have decent teammates who went with my ideas and picks. Don't you know it, won both games too. Neither one was even close.
Then again it might have to do with the fact that I am no longer queuing on EU west....
Funny coincidence though, both games the enemy captain took axe.
As for the question above. The HotD is the old build that makes her a late game hard carry. If I remember right it's like Power Treads into HotD into butterfly. It's a lot more late game power than the "new" build, but doesn't allow you to 5 man and push till you're done.
