(maybe show me some pros and cons. and some advantages he brings to the game. ty :D) Pros: 1) He is probably the best counterpush support in the game. A KotL who can keep himself alive can make it much more difficult for the enemy team to take objectives after a won fight 2) Played well and in the right lineups he can provide a lot of utility in team fights 3) With a decent laning partner he's an absolute fuck in the offlane 4) With aghs and gem he exerts ridiculous vision control 5) EZ farm Cons: 1) Squishy as fuck 2) Everyone has an opinion on how you should be playing him and they are usually wrong 3) His utility in teamfights only goes so far and his carry potential is honestly quite shit. It can be done but it is usually shit 4) Going back to point 2, everyone thinks you are a mana battery and don't seem to understand that you actually also need mana to do anything INCLUDING casting the next chakra 5) lol right click lol | ||

KotL should be picked in a 20 min push strat if you rush aghs and somebody else does mek. The aghanim heal is very very strong and the TP to you means an ally can stop split pushing and get back easily. KotL should be picked if you have a 4+1 strat where you just need to turtle to win. The KotL should run to lanes to TP in the +1 for more farm faster when not needed to stop pushes. If none of the above is true, then only because it is a very fun hero to play. (Had a team mate random it and flame it for being boring the entire game. Made me sad.) | ||

Obviously AA ban in second stage. On paper it sounds like unstoppable deathball that even keeps creeps at almost full HP (bonus points for double arcanes on wisp/necro). For the ultimate fun go KotL, give mana to wisp that gives to necro for extreme mana regen. As with all deathballs, split pushing or enough burst is the way to go against it. Imagine a Lina mid, QoP off lane, Gyro carry with WD + ES/SK supports. No matter what you do you won't survive that combo until late game when you have less carry potential. | ||

(As seen in EG vs Secret yesterday iirc). With Wisp it gets even stronger. 1 on defence, get opportunity, wisp ulti in, Kotl ulti the first hero. 5v4 push due to dead split pusher. | ||

(As seen in EG vs Secret yesterday iirc). That's one of those aspects that's great in competitive play, but harder to use in pubs, though. I mean, it's still a positive feature, but it's like pub Io in that it requires more coordination than your average pub lineup will consistently have. | ||

Yeah Recall is a very powerful spell but I get yelled at half the time I use it because pubs are stupid. | ||

Feels like im just wasting farm whenever I build that item on him as I feel Im spending 5000 gold to do something a Nyx could do with 2700. Is tehir something Im not seeing? you basically make a fight 4v5 from the getgo. not exactly wasting farm when ur getting a load of agility from it and ethereal is great utility | ||

Obviously Instant Kill which makes him more destructive on Mid-game. every morphling player knows that. PS: (a little advice) don't compare a hero to another hero. they are all different in so many ways like roles, skill, help in team etc, etc, thats NOOB-ish | ||
