It truly depends. Bristle's only damage output on you is his Quill spam but he can still hurt early game. However, Razor's Unstable Current wrecks the Goo spam. Start stick and move into boots, Wind Lace and wand early and I'd argue that he's a pretty damn good low tier counter. | ||

Farm comes first, ganks then, dont waste time for possible kills. Keep farming and be ready to counter gank with tp+zip. | ||

He's a good 1 POS despite not getting much love lately Static link lets him itemize differently than most 1 POS, but the hero is still very good. I'm kind of surprised he doesn't get much play right now cause he fits early fight lineups and scales very well. He's also a beast in lane. Treads drums sny lance ac generally pretty good. He's also super item flexible so you can still go Mek or diffu or whatever is needed. | ||

bloodstone allows you to farm for longer periods without basing and stacking charges quicker is always a plus, but youre not a strong 1v1 hero with bloodstone first item. it means you can only push your lane out so far before you make a rotation around your jungles whilst the enemy pushes your lane back. if you have another core or two that also need jungles to farm you will be depriving your team of possible farm as well as map control (typically heroes that are very reliant on jungles to boost farm speed arent strong enough to sit in a lane with only 1 core item). orchid makes you sacrifice farming speed slightly for MUCH more map pressure. overall it is the better item pickup for your team as it frees up the jungle more for your teammates and you are able to control the map better with stronger kill potential | ||

And bloodstone increases your survivability SIGNIFICANTLY. Orchid's only better than bloodstone when there's a particular hero on the other team that relies on mobility to survive and can't use that mobility when silenced. E.g. antimage, ember, qop, puck. And even then you have to be able to get it fast enough for it to be useful, otherwise it's just a much less efficient item. | ||

1.) Does blademail get affected with reduced damage when hit by silver edge? Enemy heroes hit with silver edge active gets their damage output reduced by 50%. So i wanna know if the reflect damage of blademail gets reduced as well. 2.) How come mirana's leap cancels omnislash whem I'm jugg but omnislash still follows me after I leap when I'm mirana? 3.) Having a hard time winning against an OD at mid. Any suggestions? I'm guessing viper, lina, zeus, WR are good since they can harass from a longer distance. | ||

2) Omnislash jumps to a random unit inside a set distance from your hero every 0.4 seconds. Leap has a travel time. If you leap immediately after a slash occurs, you will travel far enough to be outside of the radius for the next slash. If you leap in the middle of the slash cooldown, you won't travel far enough before the slash jumps to you again, continuing the chain. It's a question of timing, although certain other factors such as which side of you the last slash jumped to (since the jugg jumps to different sides) and the level of leap are also important to determine if you escape or not. 3) not really. don't suck also maybe try nyx | ||

I just realised MiSeRy took second at TI and we didn't see a single patented Enfeeble level 1 camp mid into "omg their [insert mid laner] is now pos 5" However, Enfeeble is a lane killer. Very few heroes can handle laning with -30 damage at level 1. | ||
