You can skip it entirely against weaker mids, but the extra chain ranks aren't that useful yet, so sometimes it's just better to get it anyway. | ||

But I'm trying to come up with the best "BOOM MOTHERFUCKER" moments. the best feeling for me has to be those comeback games, 2-4 heroes in team are fucked, scores look so bad, opponent didn't derp around and actually wanna finish us, all hope is lost, suddenly winning 1 or 2 teamfights in a row and then team comeback to win. Awesome feeling doesn't matter what position i played. | ||

I find high levels of chain extremely weak in mid so I usually max out Saw with armor and a point of chain. I get higher levels of chain if the mid has some diving ability but for the most part I usually can zone most mids with the high damage of saw. | ||

I find it very un-advisable to keep maxing Armor after level 6. From 7 to 11, your map presence should be steadily increasing which means it becomes more and more necessary for you to have your damage skills even though purely from a laning perspective, it's not that useful to have Chain mid. If you're staying mid so long that levels 3 and 4 of Armor get more mileage than having the damage/range of higher Chain ranks, you're arguably not playing the hero correctly, because sitting mid and playing a farm-off with a hero that can get so much done with his level 7/8/9 burst is pretty questionable. It hurts your level 11 impact significantly to not be 4-4-1-2 by level 11, because of how LONG you spent at level 11 given the XP changes several patches ago. 4-3-2-2 or 3-4-2-2 is necessitated by certain lanes, but beyond that, it really hurts your midgame impact to take more Armor than you need. | ||

I should have mentioned that I don't max out armor, I can see why it sounded that way. I usually end up 4-1-1-1 by 7 then get another point of armor or max chain from there, sometimes I will skip that second point in armor if I am going extremely aggressive. | ||
