The question is, when do you get a bkb on Antimage? I'm never sure if it's the right item to get or not.

Regarding item build on Anti-Mage... So after BFury, Treads, QB, PMS, what's next? Most would just go Yasha into the Manta, but how about Vlad's? I see some pros get this, so I'm not sure when to insert it and why.

Basically, when to get Vlad's? Certainly not every game.


You can get it if you are pretty ahead in farm because vlads basically keeps you at full hp at all times when farming. It's not necessary though, and against a lot of lineups, you'd do just fine just getting a yasha after the bfury and farming with that until you get your necessary items. I'd only get vlads if I am up against certain heroes like spec, where you'd need the extra life steal to go toe to toe with her occasionally in fights, but even then you could have a support pick it up. Anyways. bottom line is if ur gonna get vlads try to get it before yasha.
Forever the best, IMMvp <3

The reason I ask is because often enough, I find myself low on HP when a fight breaks out, so I thought Vlad's was the item to get to allow you to farm and sustain yourself at the same time. This is obviously before getting a Heart. But then now that I get Vlad's I find it that I skip Heart and just go BFly and Abyssal.

when you think you need to fight (and not split push) and in the fight they will focus disable you with spells for more than 3 or 4 seconds (non ultis). -- this is a general rule for me that can always be ignored

i dont recommend pairing the item with heart either because it starts to cut into slots that could be used for dps later on

So according to fears twitter they have roster changes coming again. Has it come to the point if you have to ask if some of this is on fear? His play is amazing, but as a captain and drafter he seems fairly subpar.

Mss also said the same thing so it seems at least he is staying?

Arif @MSSDota

decent run at eswc, but necessary changes will be made

Let the speculation begin.

Clinton Loomis @FearDotA

After party with @kellymilkies @Jeyostyle @FoggedDota @MSSDota now. Paris.




Also I was thinking last night why do most or all Chinese pros have romanized(sp) style names? Or if they don't they usually have numbers or a letter repeated instead of actual Chinese.

wc3 used to limit the kinds of names people could use, and also because other people do it and it sounds/looks cooler

I think anti mages got vlads sometimes just because they already had tranquils(pre patch) and wanted to be as efficient as possible. Id say get vlads if it helps your team out, you might have a couple of other melee heroes on your team. If you need it to kill rosh, if none else on the team can get it. Otherwise I think it delays more cruical items to much as it doesnt really help you fight that much in teamfights. The item slot is also very valuable. Sure you can sell it later but then your team sits there without an vlads.

Vlads is a great item but I think it should be bought by some one else if possible.
