BKB isn't just a teamfight item for Anti-mage. Heart sort of is too. The thing is, BKB is specifically good when your teamcomp forces/expects fights to be about killing people in the span of the first 4-10 seconds of the fight using powerful lead-off spells. In this case, you dont expect fights to be drawn out--you expect the BKB duration to essentially win the fight for you, and then the remainder of the fight involves you cleaning up. Heart is better when your teamcomp expects more long, drawn out fights--you're going to be in and out of fights, so you need long-term sustainability in fights over the immediate reliable effectiveness of BKB.

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. Treads BF Stout QB should let you jungle without losing appreciable HP unless you're farming stacks/ancients, but in those scenarios you can send a salve in advance and top up after. | ||

For better or worse, I almost always prefer heart for AM's survivability because I think the item does a better job at rectifying his susceptibility towards physical damage than a BKB does but BKB almost guarantee's your ability to actually participate in the fight whereas a heart does not. | ||

Fear isn't a good drafter, Univarse is pretty fantastic, but he's universe. Fogged and Jeyo seem quite weak | ||

Perhaps this isn't an issue with Fear as a player rather it could just be that he's supporting Jeyo ^^" | ||

Speaking of Liquid, what exactly does Liquid need? There are a few games where I see it, games where I understood why teams that scrimmed against Liquid before their roster announcement was hyping them up to be huge but something just felt off even during the games where they seemed dominant. Korea was the perfect example of why i'm not so sure about them. They lost convincingly to what was considered to be a Fnatic at their slump in LAN but it was the fact that they lost to the same strategy twice. Not only that but Fluff's interview said they simply didn't have a game plan from their draft and this is exactly the same issue I heard from Liquid during their slump after the G-1 LAN. Liquid's roster is stronger than their old but are they plagued by the same issues? | ||
