This hero is so bloody annoying to have on your team. If you want to AFK jungle farm and get armlet and AC then just fucking pick lifestealer ffs. Unless you are abusing you ultimate with a blink or shadow blade or something, you are gaining next to nothing by picking this hero instead of naix.

Is it just me or is jungling awful after the MoC nerf (fix?) in 6.80?


Its not awful, it just means you have to jungle more efficiently rather than afk right click. Before, her MoC was a sort of crutch for people not jungling as efficiently. So now you have to stack the camps when you can, and make sure to avoid hellbear/centaur camps until a higher level.

Overall her jungling is worse, but she is still a strong jungler, and is probably still the second best jungler to not have a summon in the game(behind bat) (I guess you could make the case that she is as good as axe), but just need to play the jungle right and hope to not get Centaurs/hellbears.

You should still try to mid lane or safe lane LC if you can. Just a more efficient place for her. Really only Jungle if there is both a Better mid and a better carry on your team.


Alright so on this....

What is a reasonable time for blink dagger now?

It feels like much more than a minor nerf. If you get a centaur in a medium camp and anything except trolls in a hard camp early on, it sets you back enormously. Even abusing the small camp and screwing up your safelane, I find she still jungles far more slowly than is reasonable to make an impact with blink.

If someone had a reply of a good blink timing (preferably of realistic spawns rather than that one game you got 3x troll 4x satyr), that would bea very much appreciated.

EDIT: and now double post. I am really good at this today.

you have to choke point jungle now
around 8 min ish

Isn't chokepointing even slower though?

Even if MoC is worse now, surely you still get more lifesteal/dps from the extra procs the small creeps give you...

And 8 mins for naked blink or blink + boots?

She farms safer. With careful jungling, you can stay above %50 all the time.

Pls no. She is not a 30 min AFK farming hero. At all.

The draw of jungle LC is the same as jungle Bat--because you don't have to spend gold on items that are necessary for laning (e.g. Boots, Stick, Bottle), you can squeeze out Blink Dagger a minute or two faster even though your overall farm is slower. A successful Blink kill a minute sooner essentially makes back the difference in farm between jungle and lane.

This just means that jungle LC is dependent on that 1st Blink Dagger gank to be worthwhile.

Did you quote me? I didn't say anything about 30 min farm. I generally rush phase into blink and finished it around 13 min. Then gank mid or safe lane to secure some damage and jungle in ulti downtime.

Neither. Go jungle since she doesn't benefits from farm as much as others. My choice is choke point jungle unless 3 points of passive. Stack hard camp is possible. I go phase before blink since you are extremely reliant of you lane mates to secure damage with just blink. Phase give a good 100-150 maybe more physical damage in ulti probably let you secure kills and better jungling.

Rushing blink is legit but needs more finesse to use effectively.

I've started going for phase->drum->S&Y now instead of blink simply due to the huge increase in early game fight power (phase drum is significantly better damage than treads blink early), and running mid to speed this up and actually, she seems pretty decent mid, the Q is an easy to hit nuke that does decent damage even at level 1 (120 damage if you hit the hero + 4 creeps at level 1, 300 at rank 4). The bottle helps with her mana issues (if you want to cast spells), and being able to fight with 4/1/1/1 vs 0/4/2/1 is going to be huge in the next patch (5 man OO is 5*60+180=480 damage, 560 with a creep wave!)
The problem then is that you can never kill the ranged creep with your Q, but hitting it with it means it will be a free deny (bad). The 6.81 change makes this easier later (level 7+) as if you can hit the hero, the ranged creep should die in 1 hit (180 + 20*4 + 65 = 325), but makes it worse if you don't hit the hero (as even if you had level 7 at minute 1 it wouldn't be enough).

Is there a reliable method to get your melee creeps to hit their ranged creeps if you can pull the aggro of their melee creeps? Would help LC mid a lot I think if you can do this as my current method of running to the other side of the river to right click it once is pretty suicidal if I play against players who know what they're doing or roaming supports.

Solo offlane this hero with soul ring anyone? I've tried it a couple of times and overwhelming odds is great for last hits and blasting trilanes especially when they try to push your tower.

Yes. LC is still pretty damn broken as offlane, 100% winrate with her on that role. She's as disgusting as phoenix was pre-nerf at crushing trilanes.

LC can work in dual lanes too. You can put a lot of pressure on enemy regen just with her nuke. It's a shame how many people just use her as only a jungle hero.

phoenix has an escape (pretty ideal for offlaners) and an obnoxious attack speed slow that prevents the safe lane from csing like they want to. phoenix doesn't need items to be a team fight force (tranquils + ult + slow mek is fine)

legion won't do anything in the offlane if the safelaners know how to control the lane and pull properly. you'll be zoned by 1 support and the other will stack/pull and deny the wave.

the other problem is overwhelming odds shoves the lane towards their tower, something u do not want as an offlaner.

and lastly legion desperately needs farm to be effective. legion needs blink to do anything, and legion doesn't have the kit to safely farm a blink in the offlane unlike puck/centaur. Also unlike puck/centaur, legion doesnt offer anything to the team until she has that item.

could work pretty well against a greedy support duo or dual lanes, though

You don't need that much farm on legion, just a moderately fast blink and levels. LC does not care if she shoves the wave because she just zones out 3 heroes by doing more than 300 damage to them every 18 seconds. Then she tower dives and slays them all. LC is basically axe but does not get countered by ranged heroes.
