I just don't see Vanguard in any situation, if you want more survival, i think its better just to buy the vit booster I just don't think SnY gives enough benefits in any direction to be worth it, sure it has stats all over the board, but those stats tend to be things that aren't comparatively good for your hero. It feels like you'd be wiser to spend your money on a more specialized item that does what you want, instead of one item that just does a whole bunch of stuff I think SnY is an item born from bad habits, people play carries in lower level stuff and build it when they're way ahead because they think it looks good, but in reality, you'd be better off just building a full item, rather then two tier 2 items slapped together | ||

YYF's consistent core on Naix is Phase->Janggo->Armlet->S&Y, and he's been very successful with this in both pubs and competitive games.

On a lot of heroes this is totally unnecessary due to their inherent chasing power, but there are enough carries in the game who are lacking in this department to make S&Y a worthwhile buy for those heroes. | ||

When do you want RoH though? Tranquil boots replaces the need for going RoH unless you are building the RoH into something else (ie BF or hood), in which case you can't use it for vanguard anyway. | ||
