If poeple are going Eblade in comp games it has to do with the oppoents teams and their immense amount of farm. If a Morph is trying to outcarry a AM he is not going Eblade.

In pubs i can see the viability of E Blade, but I think in more organized games I'm not sure it really enables you to carry as effectively as other items could.

Just my opinion (i'm a big fan of Linkins + Skadi + Daedalus, but you are talking about 50 minute wins then :/)


I think that's why you have to couple the eblade with manta or bkb, so once you do your combo you can manta/bkb out of the banish.

I understand the concept, but having such burst damage (a nuke, essentially), kind of goes against being a carry - you have 2 / 2.5 attacks to kill one hero (a lower hp one) and then you can't really do anything until your cooldowns are gone. You don't have the same sort of damage items that the opposing team's carry will have, which makes me think that against a carry that is equally farmed, you will lose out.

That being said, I just don't have much experience with EB morph, but that's my feeling on the matter.


But the thing is that even outside the nuke EB still gives morph 40 agi which is quite good, and 10 str which can most likely be turned into agi. So it's not like you're just completely down a carry item.

Pretty much this.

EBlade is an item that has wildly varying effectiveness depending on the game. Obviously blindly going EBlade is going to suck. But there are very few item decisions that you should be making blindly in this game anyway. EBlade is an item that can be insanely good if you pick the right times to get it, and can be a big waste of money if you get it at the wrong time.

Well I can't completely answer your question for specs but if you want to stream in pretty good quality, 2.5-3MB/s upload is needed. Great quality needs 4MB/s+ and as far as computer specs I can tell you a ballpark. Using Flash Media Encoder, I run Dota 2 at a fixed 60 fps with an i5 2500k overclocked to 3.7Ghz, Video card (can't remember off the top of my head) but it is 2GB and ~$250 so decent quality, 8Gb DDR3. I still have frame-rate issues at times but generally I can stream in 720p without issues. Unfortunately the internet I have now is at-max 2.5MB/s so I can never stream

Hope this helps konadora!


ahh looks like i need an upgrade then lol. thanks for the answer!

Yeah. For some reason there was a button showing up next to the power button (exit game) yesterday which opened my backpack. Crazy stuff happens in beta but you're not going to find anything that hasn't been announced/found out already.

EBlade is insanely good on morph, its a reasonable first pickup against antimage-based lineups a lot of the times
Eblade will come out at a point where antimage won't have more than just bfury or vanguard/vlads, allowing you to force fights earlier against a far weaker antimage than most linkins based builds, which require linkins + another item before you can afford to be aggressive.
At this point Eblade actually makes it viable to attempt to use magic to burst down AM, as well as prey on the weaker supports generally associated with AM 4-1

Basically, poor super-lategame scaling, aka what used the only drawback Eblade morph is now a non-issue since you can disassemble it now for Bfly, which is a lategame core on morph to begin with. I guess the only other time where I can't see it being a valid option is if the other team has stuff like lion/lina that can be dangerous for you, but even then there'd need to be a pair of those heroes to be a significant threat since u can instagib one
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

tbh i will never get Eblade on morph in pub unless i am 5-0 before 10 mins.... the idea of the item is making your hard carry gank and earn gold from kills mid game instead of stable farming. Kills are uncertain gold source and can often back stab if you die. Just go the normal manta casual relic is much better imo
