How do you have 16 is that a glitch? Or does Valve hand out more reports to people who send in reliable ones?

Yeah, you got a point.

I might should have added that i mainly go for it on Tiny and Faceless Void.

On tiny especially i think its a good choice in most games (obviously not if you play him as ganker/mid)... He loves the IAS, he loves the faster exp gain... It's allmost like made for him...

I'm not sure how others feel about it, but if you plan on getting fast Agh's and farming a lot in the early game, I think someitmes its better to not get midas. Aghs gives an increased XP + GPM like midas, but at a faster rate (like a battlefury on AM), and getting a midas just delays this giant boost to this.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but that's just my feelings about it.

Always better to just focus on your own game and limit your flaming. You can only affect your own play, not others for the most part in pubs. If I see something off I always initiate a bit of advice and gauge how receptive that player is. More often than not, not worth your time. Just dominate as best you can and lead the way, others will follow.

Midas before or around 5mins is very very tempting, I always fail to resist it when i play carry xD

Otherwise i get it when I sense strongly that I won't have any space to farm from my team (due to multiple carries etc); rare cases that oppo line up nonstop pushing in mid game (camping outside our base/locking down our economy) where I knew that would be the last 2k gold that i can ever make so I just gamble it on a midas (go sneak a big creep and farm a bit in the forest and pull out); when i play some support like WL when team sucks donkey balls or we really needed that agha ulti.

Or in the late game support case where you play throne defense, there is no other item that you can get for the team anymore (you got the vision/detection etc), midas the goddamn mega creep.

Midas is a great item that are situationally very good as soon as the user knows how to manage the resources (including the skill to judge whats the current game situations etc) while it is commonly known even in pub that when you see the oppo got midas your team have a timing window to do something against that.



Think they reset it since the last patch lol

Ur comparison with aghs on a support is weird, u would get agh way more fast just by rushing it, not to mention the huge boost u get with the first 1200 gold, midas helps u too farm a bit faster 2 and 3 items. Not to mention that if u go midas first on a support ur delaying all counter wards smoke, dust and wards for the first 2000 gold.

To be quite honest i hate it when people get midas, in pubs getting the next item and knowing what to do and how to do it is 100000X more powerfull than any midas

You are merely assuming that, but when the player can provide enough visions/detection/tp support etc every support duty and he still got his midas+agha before 25mins, i dont see an issue at all. Without Midas it is actually harder to make that happen, rushing agha is only good when you have huge advantage, if mid game turned shit you would be severely delayed for that agha. That said, going midas on support also requires some smooth early game.
