You can't really ignore a necrominion when it's beating down on your squishy ass(especially supports). I've seen level 3 necrobooks solo support heroes like Rubick or something. Which leads back to the point, with the midas & HOTD nerf, necrobook is now pretty darn amazing. The only counter is there is no counter. Except Chen/Enchantress i guess. Diffusal blade is meh for countering necro minions. I would say anything with summons of their own, so that they dont eat the death damage on to their hero. Personally I like Undying's Tombstone if your team can protect it. Since mass Necrobook usually involves pushing the creep wave, Tombstone can turn the battlefield into a zombie clusterfuck with stacking slows. Always keep Soul Rip handy in case they try to focus Tombstone down. | ||

Leoric, Sniper, Drow, WR, Dazzle WTF in pubs so hard to coordinate to kill anything because Shallow Graves and mass life steals with that brutal DPS on everyone. | ||

Heard both versions, and I can't check which is correct right currently. | ||

I'm not really sure how to play him now (in terms of flow of gameplay) :[ | ||

He's not that bad of a 2v2 sidelaner, though, tbh. | ||

I have yet to see a team pick a hard wombo combo lineup though, and those are always entertaining. | ||

I think I found the new meta. Push/Ganking strat with very strong midgame while Spectre afk farms and realities during the fights. | ||

I think I will be going for battle brewmaster more often now. He does have a great skillset which scales beautifully into the late game. And yes, I can micro it perfectly. I think I found the new meta. Push/Ganking strat with very strong midgame while Spectre afk farms and realities during the fights. Isn't that a normal 4-1? | ||

I think he's fine mid in the matchups where he can sneak XP and some lasthits, but the ones where he'd totally get denied without Bottle because they're crushingly unfavorable he's definitely worse in. He's not that bad of a 2v2 sidelaner, though, tbh. I just feel like 4 mins in hits a really weird time for him to start ganking / roaming. I guess its just a different approach, and I need to adjust my playstyle. I also got demolished by Magnus mid, mainly because the other player was much much better than me. | ||

I think in NS's thoughts on the patch he said on the first night nightstalker was more likely to keep farming and then make a bigger impact on the second night with bigger items like urn/tread/vanguard (versus maybe boots bottle urn in previous ver). If you get a decent rune like DD or something it's still probably worth a gank on the sidelanes first night. | ||
