since then, the meta's become such that you usually wont be that free to just rice a bloodstone and continue ricing in the jungle | ||

Bloodstone respawn, and denies in particular, are pretty game breaking on a hero that easily racks up huge streaks. It's not uncommon to be on 10+ kill streaks and ur death can potentially swing the game. Even tho they nerfed the item, deny is stupid strong. Tbh last game I played as Zeus we won because I got 2 or 3 big ults baited (chronod and haunt or something), deny, clean up team fight. Those fights are unrecoverable Also, bloodstone gives you the mans regen u need to support oct core. It's just a better build. | ||

Bloodstone is the best farming item early on for zeus, but it's also really good if you're snowballing already and you don't particularly need more damage/range/mobility. Those can potentially let you snowball harder, but unless you really need those, bloodstone is much more stable. | ||

but bloodstone is still really good for all the same reasons it was really good before. im against rushing bloodstone because the game isnt about farming stacks anymore, you gotta fight and shit on people. so some assortment of lens / veil / force / blink before your bloodstone. then you add it and have the ability to deny yourself and the mana sustain. then you go your late game shit, oct or hex or whatever the game needs. octarine is obviously very strong on him, but it doesnt offer what bloodstone does for zeus. deny, respawn, regen are all the most important thing midgame not to mention the build up isn't easy midgame | ||
