EPTbecause i feel that having nova pumped early on allows you to not only harass your opponent's heroes, but lets you get 1 or 2 creep kills per lane, giving you some sort of farm (unless you are babysitting a hard carry like AM or spectre)

I thought we had this discussion before in this thread? EDIT: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=255359¤tpage=345#6886 You're the one who asked last time too, lol. Not sure why you're asking a second time, as you're probably going to get the same answers. | ||

BH forces the opponent's supports to spend money on wards and dust as well, and it has the utility of scouting ahead in the jungle and so on. Track makes crucial heroes (not just riki) visible for a significant period of time for an entire team's ms boost and gold bounty. | ||

Frostbite is something you max when you lane vs dark seer or blinkers pretty much exclusively as putting 3 skill points into it only doubles the damage while nova gets 2.5x the damage, has a huge range and lasts 5 seconds. Getting past one/two points in aura is something I tend to rarely do anymore - it only helps your lanes and a single set of arcane boots accomplishes what the aura does at its max level. (one point in aura is a free rob aura for your team, which is like 2500 gold - but 4 points in aura is like two sets of arcane boots which is 3000 gold). My maths a little screwy right now but this was kind of the logic behind why aura WAS so good, it could be quantified into a gold value. +2.0 mana regen x5 = +10 mana regen/sec, and anything that offers that kind of regen is VERY expensive.... until arcane boots. There's also the AA CM where you go sny and max bite/nova/stats. You'll notice when he played CM in a more even matchup he actually did nothing even close to this. (He got a bkb + blink and ulted very effectively).

The thing about track being on crucial heroes is true of amp damage as well. Amp damage/track a pudge or es and they are NOT happy about it. I really think gondar being a counter to Riki is that he really limits Riki's escape mechanisms of cloud + leap, as riki won't leap out of track range and track outweighs the cloud slow. Gondar/Slardar are totally different heroes though, even their ults are really different despite at first appearing similar. | ||

Oh wow, did not know this. I knew RoB aura stopped working when invis but didn't know CM aura also stopped. I doubt most people spam check ranged creeps for mana aura but now that I know this, smoke ganks are muuuuch easier to predict. :D I used to always go 1 level in both nova and bite, max aura -> max nova -> max bite, but lately I've been adjusting it quite a bit. I stop leveling aura once my team gets our first arcane boots and I split my levels in both nova and bite. Maxed nova is amazing but having a few levels in bite always helps for the slightly longer stun. I personally feel CM is one of the best support heroes because she brings so much to the early game: AoE slow/damage and nuke/disable means it is so easy to harass and set up kills for your carry, and your teammates can just forget they have a mana bar. It's easy to farm with nova so you can always have gold for wards. I usually get phase boots on CM because late game I prefer to nip in and out of fights with these two spells. I rarely ever put points in ult or use it though unless I'm with some teamfight heroes like tide/enigma. | ||

Personal anecdotes are extremely strong arguments. I just played a game with mjolnir CM and I won. I guess it works guys. | ||
