Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

SnY is the worst item in the game. I would say that while Halberd does give a lot for 4k, when you get into that realm of expensive items your opportunity cost increases a lot more, showing why it's rarely gotten in comp games. I know heroes that get good use of it are barely picked either, but they still rarely get it.

How long do I have to keep naming items that are more cost-effective than Vanguard?

Also, the only reason Halberd is "rarely gotten" is because not enough games have been on 6.73. It's been bought very frequently in the last week in G-1 League.

Mirakel and Akke are both amazing players. Honestly the two together combined with smulgilig is just insane. I really rate that smulgilig guy as someone that should be in one of these super high level teams. Those clutch shackles.

I have no real idea about competitive dota 1, but tc always was one of my favorite heroes to play. Is he really competitive or just viable as a surprise pick? Also, could you link the vod?

If you think Ring of Aquila is comparable there's no getting through to you.

??? Ring of Aquila is stupidly cost effective, and only takes one item slot for such a cheap and beefy item.

I'm sure we could set some parameters (stats, slots, other stuff oops would be hard to assign for actives) and mathematically figure out which items are cost-effective. But Ring of Aquila is indeed quite cost-effective.

How the hell can one item be more cost-effective when they all have different purposes?

Actually I remember in the relic game 09 on SF picks up a Vanguard explicitly saying "I need something which yields the highest performance-to-cost ratio", but that was a while back.

Cause people here are becoming the the armchair players at PD.com

Hey you know what's cost effective? The chicken. You know what's more cost effective? The flying chicken.

Quit bringing up cost-effectiveness, you aren't running a business. It's really not that relevant. Buriza is more cost effective than either Deso or MKB but you rarely see Buriza compared to other two in most iterations of DotA (read: all fucking versions).

In most situations it's smarter to just keep the RoB. The majority of it's cost-effectiveness comes from that.
