Haha, that's a kind way to put it. Bottle first is exploitable. Reliable regen (salve/trees/clarities) + stats items are much better to start with. 4 branches is 76 hp and 52 mana (on top of the +4 damage) which is nothing to laugh about at level 1. Usually about 25% hp buff. Hypothetical situation where you have a mirror matchup in middle: If you go bottle first and opponent buys stats items and regen... he can run directly at you at level 1 and auto-attack you and you have to run away. If you try to fight, you will die or be forced to use all your bottle charges to heal up while enemy hero will salve and win the lane with superior last-hitting. You've lost the lane if your opponent looks at your starting items (which is what you should do as soon as you get to the lane). | ||

You will be out csed, out harassed, and lose in any straight up fight. and if you miss either ofthe first two runes you are fucked. If and only if you random, and someone else has already gt hi ken and wards should you even consider bottle first. Then you could still probably do better buying a ton of stats items, and bullying the shit out of your lane, then getting a fast bottle after. | ||

What are some ways to counter this or at least avoid dying? wards. if all 3 lanes sit safely behind towers until you have vision of their heroes, you will have 5 decently leveled heroes against 2 high level and 3 level 1 heroes. | ||

How is it conditionnal regen, if your laning mid and your support have wards to cover the rune spots u can refill the bottle, also runes early game outweigh stats by alot. U guys are assuming the facts that the guy is stupid and is gonna auto attack the ennemy which u can simply not do and lane. If he bumrushes u the creeps will attack him and that +76hp won't help u then he will blow his recevory and u will blow ur bottle but u can restock it with a rune. If ur intelligent and time your encounters around the X2min mark u can fuck him up seriously. I fucked alot of team comp with an aksha bottle first middle lane. | ||

You're going to be getting the 2 minute rune less than 50% of the time unless the enemy team is bad and just isn't contesting any of the runes (sometimes you can't leave because you're going to lose a big wave of XP, sometimes the enemy team's sidelane gets to the rune faster, sometimes you just guess wrong which side it's on, etc.). It's not reliable to put your ability to win the lane on your ability to get the 2 minute rune. If you start Tangoes + Salve + 4 branches, your Tangoes + Salve give you more healing than 2 full Bottles, and with decent lasthitting (which you should have compared to someone who started Bottle), you will have your Bottle before the 2 minute mark. | ||

I fucked alot of team comp with an aksha bottle first middle lane. 1) Your regen will suck early, meaning easy to harass 2) You have no stats, meaning you will get out csed big time 3) Him having control of the creep wave means you will be a level behind, thus meaning he has a stronger AoE spell at level 3/5 etc. in order to push the wave every :50 second mark, thus allowing him to get runes before you can 4) In any decent level game, if he sees you go bottle first, he just tells his support to camp one rune and he will camp the other, and you're fucked | ||

If u have wards u dont have to guess, i also said to take bottle if u have a strong lane presence meaning he cannot push the wave more than u. Also how has he lane control mid lane is special cause u have high ground advantage on both side of ur creeps, meaning if u dont auto attack he can't nuke u unless he has a ward to spot him for vision. Also he cannot bumrush u because otherwise the creeps would fuck him up + u hitting him, worst case scenario u both back up to regen he blows his recovery and u can go cap the rune and replenish. Also the stats differance isn't that much for last hitting seing as some heros start with bigger base stats and base attack then others. If ur gonna respond and tell me how im wrong take in account what i said and don't just ignore part of my argument to tell me im wrong. | ||

Wards don't help, if laners move to both rune spots before they spawn. You can't afford to wait until you have vision of the rune to leave mid (as a proactive team will be prepared to take the rune the moment it spawns), so you still have to guess. They know that you not getting the rune will fuck you over, so they will be at the rune before it spawns. And again, you still have to play defensively in lane because he has more regen/stats advantage. This means that someone who started consumables + 4 branches will be able to get the lasthits he needs to have his Bottle before the 2 minute rune spawns. There's no reason to have the Bottle at the start when a more stable item opening allows you to get Bottle before the 2nd rune spawns. | ||

Other than that I cannot think of a single hero where you'd go bottle first in a serious game. | ||

So don't open bottle, but get it relatively early on some champs because you need that early farm from your initial items that bottle doesn't give? Got it. | ||
