I still haven't made up my mind whether it's any good. i tried it once when my team was ahead. not that we didnt lose the game, but it's not very good at all especially since i was pretty stacked | ||

I've tried it on potm once, it worked reasonable well as far as troll builds go, the slow allowed u to leap into pointblank arrow + starfall for around 1k+ dmg not nearly as good as shadowblade bh tho | ||

Kills are uncertain gold source and can often back stab if you die. Just go the normal manta casual relic is much better imo anyone that is carrying dagon 5 just because u buy an eblade doesn't mean u go and gank... it's situational but against some lineups u can solo push and instagib most things that try to stop you also against obvious 5man pushes or roshstandoffs you can shotgun a hero and leave via ulti to force them to either back off or 4v5 eblade is pretty much only good on morph it's okay on tinker, magina, na, sa, maybe a few more it's funny on od, jugger, sf, pugna, luna, meepo, and maybe a few more, but it's not particularly good | ||

you'd probably be better off getting either a ghost or a bfly | ||

the only problem is actually getting to that point w/o falling too far behind  | ||

it's certainly inefficient numbers-wise but you have to remember that there's nothing else you can buy as a replacement, and the buildup is pretty nice since it comes in fully functional parts | ||

That's why I said 5k gold and not 8k gold which is if you're including dagon 1 which I'm not. Dagon 1 is pretty good in terms of cost efficiency, but if you want less than what dagon 1 gave you to upgrade to dagon 5 you'll have to fork up 5.3k more gold. | ||

What does cd matter on tinker anyway? In any case, there's a TON of things I'd rather get for 5k gold than upgrading to dagon 5. Hell, even ethereal blade would give you more. And if you do happen to have 600 gpm and 60 minute game then your priority should be in buybacks at 6 items, not 400 extra damage 60 minutes into the game. | ||
