Atos is far less HP while being somewhat expensive because of the good int, Skadi only protects vs physical, Heart has worse build-up, BKB is fine-ish but DP is ok taking stuns once her ult is out and the mithril hammer is useless on her (plus less hp if most damage is physical), Ghost Scepter only helps vs physical (and some HP from the str).

None of those are bad items, but BS also has an interesting purpose in the way it builds up with timings that match DP's ult cooldown (i.e. at like 400-500 GPM you'll get the next BS component every 2ish minutes which works well with DP's 2 min ult cd) which makes sense as another item for certain situations.

So is there a use for my fantasy gold trophy or just to sell on market?

I think you people seriously underestimate how much mana DP can go through. Sure, it's "just" one spell that costs 140 mana, but it has just a 4 second cooldown and you can use it basically anywhere. Running through the jungle? Crypt Swarm some neutral camps. On a lane? Crypt Swarm the creeps. In a fight? Crypt Swarm every cooldown. Bottle, arcane boots and euls are definitely not enough, you can use much more mana regen.

Atos is same hp/gold as BS while comeing online earlier and have more useful active. Skadi has 50% more hp for 500 more gold, on top of that damage, attack speed, more mana, armour and useful slow. Heart has worse buildup but gives you twice the life for same money. BKB is more life if it protects you from 1-2 nukes and is way cheaper. Ghost scepter only helps versus physical but you have huge aoe long silence and it cost few pennies.

Skadi after eul best item for dp overall. Literally every aspect is useful, hp/mana/slow that synergies well with your high ms. BKB/ghost/shiva as alternatives might be better against certain compositions too. I used to go heart after eul in the past, but i realise you don't need the hp regen because of ult heal while skadi components speed up farm and is easier to build.

And please get refresher for late game. That thing is amazing.

I just think bloodstone is thrash item on DP. I don't run out of mana with skadi/shivas even when spamming every 4s at neutrals and splitpushing. I just don't see the need for bloodstone. She doesn't need that much mana regen when you have high int stats boosted by eul regen.

Volvo needs to give RD in ranked. They need to give it so much.

I do AP during the week and CD or CM on the weekend, mostly due to que times. I would do more CD, but 7 minutes before you even get to a match that might have someone DC isn't viable one a week night.

I mean its really up to personal preference though.

Would you rather kill 10 mins while some idiot drafts you an unplayable lineup before every game or would you rather suffer 4 teammates picking carry, trilaning mid, and have the enemy pick heroes like void/doom/lycan every game while the rest wait to counterpick you etc.

I mostly just can't deal with looking at 100+ heroes and being expected to select one fuck that shit LOL

Or just more popular. It makes more sense that Valve would rather limit the amount of modes so the queues are shorter and the MMR variance is smaller, than that they would consider AP more competitive for some reason.

I feel the same way about AP, it really isnt competitive one bit. CM or CD I think is the best but overall between the two, definetly CM

I don't think they have platforms confirmed for the new silent hill. However, I cannot think of two better people make that game. I love Del Toro, but he needs to start on Pacific Rim 2, for more stupid robot combat.

Hideo Kojima is a guy known for complexity, multi-layered, rich plots and mechanics, and often mind bending, out of the box elements to his games.

I can't think of a better man to right the sinking ship that is the Silent Hill franchise.
