Vanguard has been nerfed so many times now that it becomes more worth it to just get tranquil boots + naked vitality booster for the same effect.

On many heroes where you would get vanguard, you would get heart later on anyway. Getting naked vitality makes it easier to build towards heart.

It's Tequoia, not Tequioa, so it's a pretty obvious play with Sequoia. Easily the worst of the new names. Carl obviously the best.

Leoric. It should be called Arnold, with the obvious ressurection line.

Now that's new. At least when I say SK, people won't ask, which one?

Then if I say Ostarion, people will ask, who?

Complete change of topic, but my friend suggested something interesting: necro rush on OD (and I guess silencer). The stats it provides are one you want for OD, being int and hp (via str) without mana regen, and it gives him a boost for mid game pushes. The stat:gold ratios aren't great compared to something like sheep, but its an interesting alternative for when you want the specific utility necro provides (small mana pool enemies that mana burn will shut down, invis heroes, blinks that can be stopped by sending them out to scout and hitting them, etc).

Welp, as OD you really need forcestaff and bkb. If you rush necro, you'll simply die in fight.


I mean after forcestaff. I also don't mean it as an every game item, just when sheep/bkb doesn't need to be rushed, and necro provides stuff your team is lacking.

I mean, necro units are really strong early on, and good in the current push meta. Could make OD viable in certain line ups.

Am I the only one who likes a fast vanguard on AM? The survivability it gives is huge, you can easily tower dive and tank creeps. While you do lack in creep farming compared to a standard bfury you can somewhat compensate with hero kills. You become a nightmare for all the low mana pool str/agi heroes early on.


Vanguard is just so inefficient for its cost. AMs second biggest strength is his farming speed with BF, if you don't want that why are you picking antimage? QoP provides a much stronger early game and scales well into late game as well, which is pretty much the same role you are trying to fill with vanguard antimage.

And vanguard --> BF is terrible due to the 2 RoHs being way overkill in the regen department.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

The venom top pick was quite predictable actually. The thing is most carry-oriented team wana have a great support to shut down some early game tower diving bullshit that you could just do with enchan + tanky(NS panda) + stun(SK VS) from level 1 in the offensive tri lane(seen in several top EU teams). The hero has a sick sick counter pushing mechanic for turle and most of all his slow goes through BKB. The main problem is that to utilize the ulti well, you have to drag out the teamfight and that itself requires some sick AoE train meaning your line up has to get a lot of level early on. So you wana have a good late game carry while still maintain sick AoE teamfight control -> Dark Seer, Naga top ban pick -_-..... Enigma would synergy well too but Rubick can counter him way too easy.

Compare to CM pick, Venom is just way better all round bc he can farm the ancient very early on provide additional income to team. If you watch games of mTw, the especially reserve their ancient camp for venom to just sit there 5-10mins and level up.

no... just wana continue the discussion 2 pages ago where smbody said venom OP bc he is top pick...

now i am thinking of a line up that gona have enigma as a carrier: rush rosh->rad + mek(optional) +heart +bkb, draft rubick first.
Lane as aggressive as possible and win around 22 mins mark....
