Cost efficient and slot efficient stats especially for the mids who dont really want to invest on bottle to get mana regen + the armor especially for invoker is really welcome (OD has nice starting armor and okey agi gain so OD is kinda odd to me too, i guess its purely for stats+mana regen so u dont need to get bottle).

Plus the meta is really fast right now, u want to have multiple cheap cost effective items for u and ur team rather than one big item early for urself.

What's the idea behind Aquila on int carries? (saw it on Arteezy's OD, on some invokers)

Haven't seen it on OD but on Invoker the idea is:

You usually go a Ring of Basilius anyway on invoker.
Aquila:
3 str
9 agi
3 int
9 damage
4.26 armor (2 from aura, 1passive, rest from the agi)

Null talisman + Ring of basi
3 str
3 agi
6 int
3 damage
6 damage
3,42 armor (2 from aura, 1 passive, 0.42 from the agi)

So you pretty much trade 3int for 6 agi (armor and attackspeed for Invoker) and 1 extra slot. But the extra slot is the most important tbh. 2 item slots for Basi + Null talisman usually makes you end up selling Null talisman quite early.

Thanks ~

One more question:

With Vengeful Spirit this seems to always happen... I swap my teammates out of trouble, only for them to just run right back into the fight because they have no idea what's going on and get killed.

What's the best way to deal with this. Tell them out loud that I'm going to swap them?

Most of the 2K players I play with are just too disoriented after the swap to do anything.


I tend to ping 'Swap Ready' when I'm about to swap. I don't know if that helps or not, but I do it.

Guys,

What to do when you're Tinker and they all buy BKBs.... do you just play around it and try to bait it?

split push and try to focus supports in fights
or hex them before they bkb
or wait out the bkb
its like normal play around the bkb stuff except probably easier cuz you can rearm ghost sceptre + blink

Thanks.

Also, is there any situation where Aghs is better on Tinker than like Dagon or E-blade?

I built one yesterday in a game that I was winning really hard and then just lost all momentum. It seems bad. It seems regardless of who you're playing against you always want the same items.... boots, bloodstone, dagon, eblade, sheepstick and bottle?

I suspect it's only better when you can't get within Dagon range of any enemy heroes without the rest of the deathball killing you.

Soul ring
even when u buy bloodstone from ur first soul ring, buy another
bottle stays in base at 6 slots and if ur super high apm u can swap it out with an item while in base to heal a bit faster
blink is usually ur first item after BoTs it makes u invincible
Shift-queue blink into trees after every TP

Oh I forgot Blink lol. Usually I go tango branch branch branch, then bottle, brown boots, boots of travel, then soul ring, then blink.

That's pretty standard right?

I think you usually see soul ring pre-BoTs but i'm sure that's game dependant.

TY

and finally with this new patch... is it okay to use laser on the range creep just to make sure I'm getting him? Or is that really wasteful. It's kind of hard to guarantee hitting him when an enemy melee hero is just sitting there trying to deny him.

usually you just lazer the hero and hit the creep since the hero is now 100% miss
depends on ur lashitting skills of course. If ur not confident in ur abilities then do what it takes to get ur xp.
