Its not so much the early spells themselves, it's that CS+FS moves on into a normal Quas-Exort lategame with Meteor+Blast+Sun Strike, so you end up having to get used to 5+ spells at once, which is overwhelming for a new Invoker player. The core spell selection for Wex-Exort stays the same for a much longer part of the game.

You're going to overwhelm yourself if you try to absorb everything at once. Remember when Quas+Wex was the dominant form of Invoker? People generally stuck very closely to the "basic" spells (Tornado, EMP, Cold Snap) and slowly expanded as they got better at the hero. But CS+FS requires you to effectively use 5 spells in order to have a complete game.

Ya you guys are talking about two different "noobs"
Yango is talking about the noob friend of yours that picks the hero that looks the coolest and has a very limited understanding of the game.
You guys are talking about some sort of theoretical, perhaps mythological, noob that will play bot games with a desire to improve their skills and understanding of the game before playing mm.

I really miss Invoker really.
Even after those Alacrity/GhostWalk/Tornado buffs.
I thought we would see him back again.
Guess it wasn't enough.

Please buff his damage please.

I never played bot games with invoker.

I lost a lot.

I have accepted my 36% wr on him as a consequence.

My point is that if im on skype with my noob friend and he wants to play invoker I am not going to tell him to go coldsnap sunstrike into forge spirits because he wont be able to play it.
Im telling him to build a daedalus and use the skill that makes him auto attack better because thats what noobs can do.

The point is that Wex-Exort relies less on really good spell usage/unit control than Cold Snap+Forge Spirit does, since it only has 1 primary combat spell and everything else is situational utility (e.g. Cold Snap, Sun Strike).

I mean, it depends on how noob you are.

If you are having trouble casting coldsnap and Forge Spirits, you probably should play some bot games.

Signed,
36% win rate Invoker player.


Seconded. If you play Invoker online without having tried him in bot games, you deserve no mercy.

I deserved no mercy, but I learned pretty quick after all

I won't do the same now when I wanna learn meepo though, lol.

Almost raged when I saw the word summoner, then I looked at your post count and realized was trolling. Almost got me.

I have not ever, nor probably will I ever play Invoker. My memory is way too shitty to remember those spells. I'll take visage or meepo for my apm hero of choice.

I had problems with Invoker first game I've played with him. I'm pretty decent with it now, hitting those sunstrikes like a fucking mad boy, damn, good times.

It's actually just impossible to LH without extort now after the nerf. I always go 1 level even for tornado emp build.
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

Speaking LD,

Do you guys rush Radiance?
Or going the Phase+Maelstorm+Basher.

I prefer the latter.
Going Radiance in pubs is suicide.

I miss abusing Armlet Bear.
Those free towers.

And now you actually have to be wary of bear with doing the creep pulling.
That 300 Gold is something you really can't afford to give now.
Play your best

You can just play with the little help question mark menu thing up to the right of his skill bar. That's how I won my first few games in a row with him (though that was before most of the nerfs).

So, how you guys skill & build Bara these days? I'm playing him with mixed success since 6.78, but I think I'm playing a bit extraordinary, just like I play every other hero far off from standards.

#E: Yea, I might add, how I play him, lol.

Get one level into every skill, then proceed to priotize greater bash 1st and empowering haste 2nd - Ulti whenever possible and max charge last.
Treads, Drums and aghs, is what is go for in "normal" games, when there's no need for special things, because imo a 20 sec CD BKB piercing disable with positional advantage is ridiculously strong.

My go to build is phase malestrom AC Basher, particularly if i'm playing the 2 role. (although, vlads and AC can be picked up as well, which is cool for LD :D)

I like your build but i would lv charge second and not empowering haste, empowering haste does not scale very well and your attack damage is not reliant anymore on your movespeed so you wont get more damage from it, Also the bigger stunt on charge is more important and the faster charge can be really handy (charge lv1 feels really slow).

I like aghs on sb but u have to be carefull about buying it sometimes a heart/ac/bkb/armlet might be way more usefull. Armlet is really strong, urn can be a nice start also
