Bbbuuuuuuuuuuuut I just like Exort Invoker way more, it also helps the early game last hitting. Thoughts on how to have more of an impact early game or should I just accept the fact that I won't be that much help early game and go straight for the midgame? the items I build are usually phase -> bracer/sobi -> force -> drums/euls -> aghs | ||

Whereas Wex-Quas has a much simpler to use Tornado-EMP-cold snap combo that can help a lot early game. Bbbuuuuuuuuuuuut I just like Exort Invoker way more, it also helps the early game last hitting.

Trying to be effective too early with more than pro sunstrikes can cripple you as Invoker - you really need a level advantage, and you get that by staying in mid, not by failing to gank sidelanes (if you're mid, ofc). Farm up your force staff, double forge spirits and level 2 invoke, then go use your double forge -> cold snap -> whatever finishing move you please combo to gank hard, along with your now-decently-damaging chaos meteor -> deafening blast combo for teamfighting even harder. So basically, yeah, go for the midgame more. You don't do a lot early game, in ganks or fights. | ||

You still have more impact early than most heroes if you can hit your sunstrike. | ||

If you've gone for the double forge spirits build, don't use Chaos Meteor/Deafening blast until much later (level 17 or when you have scepter). Cold Snap and Ice wall generally are stronger around this time. | ||

I currently play a quas wex build to get into invoker. Should I help gank the other lanes before force staff? because of phase boots and wex i can switch lanes very quickly. Or should I stay mid till force staff? Also at which level of exort should i use meteor? I use emp -> tornado combo and when i got my first level of exort i use emp -> tornado -> blast. How do I time the emp the best? Since the initall duration gets longer the higher i level wex. How do I react to this herpderp why you not use sunstrike idiots? ; ) | ||

You don't need Force Staff to help since you have really good movespeed with Wex and Phase boots. At the beginning, gank with Tornado and Cold snap, don't bother with EMP until you have 3 (ideally 4) or more points in Wex. At low levels of Wex, start with EMP -> Tornado. Once you have ~4 or more then you should start with Tornado -> EMP. Meteor starts becoming relevant when you have 4+ points in Exort. It's also a situational spell that is best when you have something to hold the entire enemy team down like a Blackhole. It becomes much stronger when you have your Aghanim's scepter so you can easily use your Tornado -> Meteor -> Blast combo. If people ask about Sunstrike just say 'I'm not Exort' and they should shut up. If they don't then feel free to /ignore them. | ||

Cold Snap and Ice wall generally are stronger around this time. Unless you mean don't use the combo I don't think thats good advice. You should have a point in wex after you get 4-4 and deafening blast is one of the best invoker spells. Using it in a teamfight has a very large impact if done correctly. You shouldn't have your forge spirits invoked pre-engagement as they should be already out with you so that gives you more spell (wall/coldsnap/deafeningblast etc.) Invoker is all about experience at the end of the day. You have to know your limits and what you can do in what situation so you can choose the best spell for the situation. | ||

Any idea what this number is? Number of viewers that are watching the game that have a pendant for that team. The pendants were released for The International 2 for the teams that were in it hence not every team has them. Viewers that have a pendant have a chance to get a reward item when special things happen in the game (such as first blood, multikills, etc). | ||

Any idea what this number is? It's the amount of pennants equipped by people spectating in game. It's a special store item, only TI2 teams have this feature. | ||
