For me its been sort of the opposite. When I was first in beta (150-250 online at a time) games were usually 30-35 minutes on average, ever since the huge waves of invites (2000-2500+ online) I feel like EVERY single game is 45-60. Games have been taking longer and longer, maybe because MMR's are evening out a little more by now. | ||

I'm still having a good percent of really imbalanced games that end in 30 mins (and even one or two very competitive games where they just end in 30 mins due to strat mismatch). But you might be right! I did have two hour-long games out of three I played last night. | ||

Speculating about it is utterly useless til there are sources, its not like magically one day it'll be released anyways, htere'll be months in advanced for an official announcement and then a real release day. Whoa, whoa, whoa, I get that. I just haven't been keeping up with it because I didn't get into the beta and so I'm trying to not pay too much attention to it. I thought maybe I missed something. Anyway, I appreciated the "There is none." | ||

But my true guy is N'aix. Can't wait to see what he looks like when comes out. ^.^ Anti-mage requires team coordination to beat (or a pushing lineup). Pubs don't have that, so it wins a lot in MM. | ||

What kind of specs are you running? I have an ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics and have trouble running it. Need to really scale down the resolution. Anyone else? | ||

Going bfury first is a pub build or where your anti-mage lane is somehow winning the early game laning phase. It's always vanguard/treads = > manta. Going bfury means you are aiming to go to late game, and in that case they are going to abuse the fact that AM has no fucking HP to survive any ganks since he's trying to rush a bfury. All they need to do is add a few heroes and Anti-Mage falls back into place. | ||

Hell, I've seen Midas -> Vanguard -> Battle Fury on AM in at least one professional game, and Vanguard -> Battle Fury -> Manta in multiple games. ZSMJ doesn't even bother getting Manta till much later, and goes Vlad's after Battle Fury. Getting Bfury means you are committing to a risky build where if Anti-Mage even dies 2 times early game, you are severely fucked. Vanguard/Manta is cheaper, just as effective, and makes Anti-Mage a legitimate threat coming out of midgame where Bfury grants you absolutely 0 survivability for the cost of Anti-Mage farming a shit ton early game. Pro Chinese teams will only run Bfury on Anti-Mage if they can secure his farm through an extremely strong tri-lane, but there are games where they've lost because AM went Bfury instead of legitimate mid game item build (see when they lose to heroes like Sylla and Lycan). We can argue circles for days about builds; I've seen some really idiotic builds before in pro games. Doesn't make them good. Bfury is only good if you have a very strong early game heroes like VS/CM/Lion/etc. to secure farm for AM. You can pick around that however by just sending a stronger hard carry into the opposite lane and raping Anti-Mage later, or pick on the fact that AM is made of paper especially when rushing Bfury from laning phase. | ||

Sorry I can't read! It's not a bad build, but you are committing heavily on Anti-Mage getting farmed. It basically ensures that the game will go late game, and that's not always a good idea especially if they picked strong midgame carry/push heroes like Sylla or Lycan. Going Vanguard/Manta always ensures good survivability AND a carry that can actually do something in the midgame. Rushing a Bfury isn't really always a good idea or optimal; just pointing that out. Yes AM gets farmed as hell, but he also is really vulnerable even past the 25-30 minute mark unless your tri-lane really dominated and let AM get every single CK for like 20 minutes. | ||

My ideal AM build would be a Vanguard>Yasha>Bfury>Manta. The early yasha is beautiful. | ||

That's why manta is a decent item. My ideal AM build would be a Vanguard>Yasha>Bfury>Manta. The early yasha is beautiful. You're fucking Anti-Mage. Vanguard/Manta gives you PLENTY of HP considering you barely take damage from spells. And Manta is a great item because it synergizes with Anti-Mage so well from the stats, the mana burning illusions, to all the other small bonuses it gives. And that build is suboptimal. There is no reason to go Bfury if you went Vanguard first. You're just delaying Manta which is a core item on him if you don't rush Bfury first. Bfury is a tool that allows you to farm at insane speeds and gives you the sustain to do it. If you're going to pick up Bfury, you pick it up first after Treads/Red boots. | ||
