And it gives you enough mana to get mekanism! | ||

Suicide swap used to be common in professional games, but that is so many ears ago I can't put a number on it. It's been forever since I've seen a venge do a suicide swap. I hope people don't do that anymore. Swap is much better in ganking situations where ideally no one in your team has to die. | ||

Even on spirit breaker/mirana etc. Killing heroes usually involves using a lot of spells, so you leave yourself and the hero you are helping with more mana. And it transitions nicely into early pushes where again a lot of mana is used, while manapools are low. And it gives you enough mana to get mekanism! i'd say its objectively bad on spirit breaker, if you are ganking enough you need arcane boots on SB, you should probably just buy drums with all the money you've earned | ||

I don't think Mirana should receive buffs both to her weak laning (base damage) and her as a roamer (which is decent imo). Just design her in a way to make her roam a little bit more reliably with arrow ganks. | ||

The new skill is a must get, 30 mana for 20% of hp is INSANE all game, get it at level 2 always, further skilling game dependent and highly subjective too | ||

If there was a mixture of both in one item, like a rod of atos with dps instead hp/mana, that would be SKs item. But there is no such thing. If I ahd to play him I would go 1point hellfire bolt, 1 point crit, 1 point lifesteal aura, then crit max, ulti as usual. The damage hellfire bolt does is negligible for the amount of mana it takes out of his mana pool. If I spent 45% of my mana pool on one spell it better be a golden bullet, not a 2 second stun with crappy damage. It's not even good for stealing kills as half of it is damage over time. | ||

Also her command aura is pretty damn good, it's a mystery to me why aura strats aren't being utilized still. I mean I know teams toyed with aura stacks but there must have been a huge flaw to why we didnt see it much of it in competitive play. | ||

I mean I know teams toyed with aura stacks but there must have been a huge flaw to why we didnt see it much of it in competitive play. It's because damage auras only apply to your base damage and stat bonuses. The really good damage items all give flat damage, like MKB and Daedalus. Even Butterfly gives half agi and half flat damage. | ||

Because they're pretty easy to see coming in the draft and thus shut down and because they generally can't assemble competitive lanes. I don't think them not working with damage items matters much because the entire idea with such a strategy is to just 5man after ten minutes and get rax or lose. | ||
