Or when EE said scrims in his blog does he mean against other random teams in China but while he's at the tournament? Yes at least not Secret(since they do the pub solo and regroup afterwards) well they probably still do at least 1 match or so. Usually whenever some team is their next opponent and they have been their scrim partner they immediately stop scrimming against them. | ||

He's a very xp-dependent hero so if you get a solo lane you can get your levels up. If it's a decent dual or tri-lane you can eliminate the enemy's safelane T1 very quickly. | ||

Can someone explain to me why he spammed that? do you need a good all round team with strength, agility, and int? Can you not have just all of one and if so why? again Im super Noob so if this is silly question plz be nice plz and ty. What were the other team's picks? If there was an OD in particular it would make sense for him to want intelligence picks. | ||

Although it naturally often becomes that since agi heroes are typically carries, int heroes typically supports and str a little bit of everything. That said theres plenty of exceptions so if you wanted to you could easily make well rounded teams even with mostly one of the three type of heroes. As for why he spammed it, you got twitch timestamp? Seems a bit weird to me unless he just used "intelligence hero" as a replacement for "support". But that seems a bit far fetched. | ||

instead of maybe salve tango stout 1 slipper into a faster pms which seems like a godly laning item to me | ||

if your lane isn't terrible the pms timing difference feels pretty negligible if your lane is terrible and you can't access your own side shop you have to wait on the courier to upgrade it to pms anyway tho for terrible lanes i like 8 tango 1 salve | ||

In which case a pms is going to be pointless anyway. im not quite sure how to respond to this, pms is one of the strongest laning items in the game and negates lots of physical harass which is the main reasons why a hero cant approach creeps, not sure how you arrive at the conclusion that "its going to be pointless anyway". | ||

That said, starting with 1 Slippers usually doesn't let you get PMS faster. You usually can't just run out to the side shop at any time (well ok, you can, but often with the position of the first creep wave you either miss a creep or let the enemy offllaner get XP you don't need to let him have to do so), so by the time you can actually make time to go to the side shop and buy PMS, both Slippers start or 2 Branch + bank 90 gold would have enough for PMS anyway. It's almost never the case where starting with the Slippers actually results in you finishing your PMS quicker unless you got the bounty rune and can immediately get PMS before the first wave. | ||

I was more imagining a scenario in which you risk simply dying by showing yourself in the lane, like against a trilane of some sort with heavy disable. Against heavy physical harass, there's usually enough you can do to get a creep here or there to get you to that PMS. | ||
