Earthshaker Crit is hard even with Blink. Maybe I should have skipped Armlet

Yeah i usually play mid when i stack with friends and recently i've run into more and more mid shakers and most of the time it's just like, ez lane win and ez ganks on him.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Big creeps can have up to 1.1k hp, lvl4 fissure does 275 damage, so you need a bit more.

Stack many times and slam it.

EDIT: Bonus points of you lure enemies into the stack before slamming.

so whats that statement???
there are a lot of mid heros that get stomped there, but win by achieving important things on the map.
pudge e.g. is one of them.

armlet on shaker is not a good idea though.
you need that blinkdagger asap. and armelt dosent give you anything you want.
yes ikts more dmg with the totem, but if you think about it, you have the level advantage from the mid lane
so you combo does already a lot of dmg, why would you delay your blinkdagger for that?

it is not your job to onehit someone. its your job do burst some1.
and for the shaker, he can bursat the whole team.

you can compare it to void.
people who play faceless void often think that they have to kill 3 people inside the chrono. thats just not true.
you need a good chrono where your allies can hit the enemys too. thats the real scary thing.
if your faceless void carry is able to kill 3 people inside the chrono, this game is over for 30 min anyways

The big difference is that pudge can kill heroes without items, while ES need the blink and if you get 15 min blink you won't snowball hard and gets damage items, so you are basically 2 levels higher support. On top of that your opponent is freefarming so you basically created 2k gold difference without any return.

why do you need a blinkdagger if you fissure 1400 range.
if you gank, there should be other people on the lane.

but maybe your problem is, that you only play 1on1.
i can understand that and it seems like you never played 5on5 before.
you have 4 team mates there - you know?!

the cool thing is: you dont have to 1 on 5 your opponents. and thats why yoiur arguments are useless.

---

edit: just to make sure.
if you gank and the other mid hero is only freefarming mid. thats pretty much the best thing that can happen in this situation.

I mean without early blink you have exactly same impact on the game as support ES also if your supports can gank your lane opponents can too.

so mid shaker also has the same levels as (roaming) support shaker?
really?
you underestimate how devastating a core shaker with solo exp can be mate. by a lot.

its actually one of the biggest things for shaker that he can evade ganks pretty good with his fissure.
good positioning + wards and one fissure is enough to stop ganks very often.

Earthshaker is the best roamer imo. At least has the highest skill cap. Fissure is just way too potentially strong of a spell. Like completely blocking the retreat path for the enemy mid so they have to go down the river etc.

Veno, Venge, Sandkungen, SD, CM, Alch are all very good too.

And then Chen/Enchantress is always scary early game. Especially if they start out in the enemy jungle.

You have more damage ofc, but I gladly take for example mek advantage from gold difference from lost midlane.
