Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Tide sux at roaming, his slow is "meh", its hard to get anchor smash damage off and he BADLY needs levels.

PS i'm not sure what ur guides say but I think the current way to level tide is 1-1-4-1 into 1-4-4-2 so that you can do ancients and are super ultra unkillable.


Wait, you max W after E? Why?

So you literally take no damage.

But I don't think maxing Gush would be a terrible support Tide build. It's the only thing he gives to the lane. Support Tide kinda sucks.

Skywrath is also a stupidly good support hero. Strong level 1 and if you have an LC or Beast master on your team you just insta kill on every gank together.

There is also something to be said about Shadow Demon as well. Though you must know how to use him properly or else you're a liability.

void & skywrath combo is insanely fun
especially if you get fed enough on skywrath to get aghs

i also found out recently that bkb doesn't remove concussive shot slow wtf

The standard guide is 1-1-4-1. I use anchor smash to farm in jungle until I get that blink. I hold my ravage until I either get blink or see a good chance to get a kill at a pushed friendly tower. Once I have blink, then it's all about roaming to find kills.

It used to be W was just like "4 points gets u a stout shield" now the damage threshold for the purge comes down (which is huge) and the damage block is actually big numbers which combine super well with the damage reduction on anchor smash to make you take LITERALLY ACTUALLY NO LIE 0 damage from every creep in the game so you can farm super well. Gush doesn't improve that much as you level it. It could be maxed in some situations before w.

Yeah the guide says "only one level is needed in shell due to the constant damage threshold" which was true when we helped u write that guide 10 versions ago but is no longer true (shell has been buffed like 4 consecutive times).

And yeah the ancients change was 6.81 not 6.81b my bad

Anyway, like I said the reason that you max shell is BOTH that the threshold changes AND that combined with the ancients change u can now farm ancients with the damage block from it + splash.

He was right when he wrote it, and all the changes to the skills have been so gradual that it was hard to say "well that changes things" especially since the change that actually made max shell viable (IMO) was actually a change to his anchor smash LOL.

The issue is that Tide become a much greedier support. You offer even less in lane, could use the levels even more and even benefit from supports stacking the ancients. Plus he can handle the offlane better. It's not for nothing that his role changed.
