no.

RTZ builds w/e/w/e/w/r/w/q/e/e/r and I'm going with the assumption that he knows what he's doing.

You can delay the point in orb if u want but don't delay it too long. Don't use it to lasthit until max E though obviously.

Maxing W or E first before Q is always rational, but maxing W is surely the I want to win my lane route? It doesn't really matter if you get bottle, midas or mek with maxing W because you have sick lane control and with bottle you can easily sustain even if you get unlucky procs with your aura. He asked a question and I answered him with the earliest you would want Orb if you're not too fussy on lane control/last hitting and just want to help your side lanes. But yeah I apologise, to clarify, if you want to demolish your lane get W maxed first (mana pool and sick ult damage) then get a point of Q when you need the damage for either route.

Not to mention, other than blink hex its your only other item that can deal with bkbs.


Abyssal is good too. I'd likely never build skadi on OD.

Edit: oops didn't read what you said sn0, got confused for a second. corrected some stuff

Why would you get a Skadi when you've got a sick pure damage orb? Sure you can disable it for a second, and it gives you a ton of mana/e-hp from it but you could always stack something else on him that just gives him 'flat' damage like other Int items, e-blade or a manner Abyssal.

Also AC is an extremely situational item on OD but it isn't bad at all, sure I prefer Refresher's but if my main carry needs an AC, OD is likely to benefit hard from building it because of the armour and IAS. Especially in teams where they have BKBs and I can't really pull off my spells or Orb when it's up.


You don't get it for the orb, you get it for the stats. Because Skadi is one of the highest mana pool and INT items in the game its also a big damage item for you and OD does a lot with the other stats as well. Not to mention, other than blink hex its your only other item that can deal with bkbs. IMO skadi should be your core item after bkb hex unless you are getting blink or need shiva's first for some reason.

Actually, Skadi IS the highest mana pool item in the game. 25 ias and 725 HP are just an icing on the cake.

What is the reasoning behind so many people rushing bottle on OD? Bottle is good for spamming nukes while keeping up your health regen. While spamming astral can be good for lane dominance, it just seems like a waste of 650 gold that contributes to no stats. Esp with your aura, seems like you'll get mana back easily enough. Or is it just for rune control/bottle crowing?


OD won't otherwise be able to gank.

Why do people think this? Walking out of the lane before significant farm is actually the worst thing you can do on this hero.

Whenever I play OD and people say "OD please gank" at 6 mins, I die inside.

Yeah. I treat OD like invoker. You're better staying at lane getting farm and exp than leaving the lane going to gank while maybe get killed or miss a gank.

Please don't get AC on OD...
Get Refresher instead. 2 ults can rape the whole team nuff said.
And watch Mushi for instance im sure he never bought AC on OD and he is the best OD in the world. Treads, force staff, bkb, sheep, refresher and shivas should be the 6 slotted OD. Maybe you can replace the force staff for a heart.
But really it is pointless getting AC on OD, it is a pub build. Let your carry get the AC instead.
And finally OD should stay in lane, he is not a good ganker like QoP or NS. OD is about dominating the lane. Also mek in pretty good, you can 5 early and win team fights with the mek and the ult. Also mek is really good if you want to take down towers quickly.
If you wanna learn how to play OD you should watch Mushi.

It is a pub build. And we're all playing pubs.

In an ideal world, OD can just wait on someone else to get AC. This is actually true of a LOT of potential AC carriers. Tiny for example would much rather buy Manta and have someone else get AC for him.

The reality is that you will pretty much never play games where you can rely on that "other" AC carrier to get AC except on specific heroes that almost always get it. And it's better for you to get an AC than for nobody to get an AC.

To be fair it should be in the OD's interests to build accordingly to how the game is going, this is why getting arcane orb at lvl 8 to be active with a bottle into treads is pretty sick. No sympathy if he's one of those Midas rushing idiots if he doesn't look at how the lanes are going.

I usually just try to get the team a Mek if I can see potential of the other team starting to force fights early or if I can see that it is in my team's best interest to try and push towers. While the buildup is not as awesome as it used to be (no more free mana from toggling buckler), he's still a really great mek carrier and your aura allows your team to spam wave clearing spells if they have it (to help your push)

happens on every mid hero. offlane feeds first blood at demands a gank at 2 minutes because his lane is now 'unwinnable'...

That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

Should we be maxing E last and preferring max Q first now?

No
Skillbuild should be w/e/w/e/w/r/w/q/e/e/r

U can get 1 in q earlier if necessary but extra levels in it do LESS damage than levels in E (if you bother reading the skills). Maxing W is now even better.

1) You only take ult at 6 if there's kill potential. Without Orb for follow-up damage, you have to judge based on the situation whether a level 6 Ult kill is possible. Especially given how excruciatingly long the CD on Sanity's is, an ult that fails to turn a kill is basically a dead skill point for the next 2-3 levels.

2) Second rank Orb before 11 has some specific applications to certain lanes. For example, in certain specific 1v1 lanes, 2nd or 3rd rank Orb are more impactful because of the bonus damage to summons (e.g. vs. Lycan 2nd rank Orb can kill Wolves in 1 hit, while 1st rank needs 2). You still don't generally have this before level 8 (e.g. 2/2/4/0 at level 8 or 2/3/4/0 at level 9), and it's still highly situational.

3) Whether you max Astral first depends on the enemy's base Int and the development of the laning phase. Rank 3 Astral bring a significant number of heroes to low enough Int for the difference going from rank 3->4 to be less impactful than maxing Aura before taking the 4th rank in Astral. Up to level 5 you're usually going to be 0-3-2, but after that there's tremendous variation between levels 6 and 10.

Why would you get eul for? As in its not a terrible item on od, but you better have a strong reason to get it over atos/force etc.

Atos and force staff is king on OD, gives you everything you need but magic immunity.

The regen component on Eul's is useless by the time you get it, and it doesn't give more Intel than similar items. Outside of some very specific situations, the active isn't good enough to make up for the over-investment in mana regen compared to alternatives.

Okay, so there's no reason to get it over Force/Atos. Thanks.
