Against instant/no-projectile spells, you have to skirt the line between casting it too early and having them just use their spells on someone else or not having the time to react to Blink+instant cast spell. Also, even if the active is great, the buildup is still shit. | ||

I've experience weird AF positions where you cant buy stuff even though the shop is yellow In the fountain, with the courier, at the shops, everywhere. I'll be able to buy it but immediately it unbuys it and says I don't have enough gold, although I definitely have enough. After a few attempts it sometimes buys it, sometimes it simply refuses. Good to know it's not only me, I'll make a bug report on dev.dota2. | ||

I assume they lost, but did they lose before the round of 64? | ||

I see that they are a notable team in the liquipedia, but I don't see any of their match results. I assume they lost, but did they lose before the round of 64? They lost to HBL. Don't recall if it was in 128 or 64. | ||

But I really don't know when or if I should skip Vlads. if your team needs more space, get vlads for faster pushing. bonus points if you have more melee damage dealers in your team too. if you need to fight asap, go straight for manta note that if you need to push faster but they have orchid/silence users or instagib heroes, you still need to go manta first unless you got your items so quick that they dont have their core items yet. so in conclusion manta is gotten first in most games because usually you are required to fight earlier or survive split pushing attempts more. in the rare cases where you dont need either and you need pushing speed only, just go vlads. vlads isnt good to carry in a full slotted am anymore though, so you have to make a decision on whether you really need an item right now to make a difference in your pushes. if your next item isnt so urgent, just go manta->heart/bfly/abyss/bkb | ||

Say Clinkz gets a decent timed orchid, vlad isn't going to save your life. beesa(chunderboy) says if you can farm perfectly with AM .. the timing difference of rushing manta over getting vlads before manta is just 2 minutes so i assume there's probably rarely a reason to skip it | ||
