You could be offlaning a naked crystal maiden and have the same effect, edit: except nuking the pull, Well I guess playing melee offlaners with no in built escape mechanism does mean you end up doing a lot of the same tricks. Although, the point about using Spirit Damage to bully out supports is technically ET specific. | ||

You have to play insanely passive against a tri lane with disables because once they catch you there is no escape. I´m not saying he is a bad offlaner in pubs but I don´t think that he will be a regular in pro off lanes but i could be wrong. It´s just pretty hard to get something out of the lane and there is not much of a comeback potential once you are behind. However if you get past the lanning phase with decent levels and maybe manaboots or something he is quite good in the midgame. having no escape when caught by 3 heroes goes for every other offlaner too. a good offlaner is determined by whether he can get exp/gold without getting caught by 3 heroes everytime he tries to get in lane. elder titan is good at this | ||

REally usefull in lane if no regen but 800 gold is expensive for exclusive line item | ||

It´s just pretty hard to get something out of the lane and there is not much of a comeback potential once you are behind. However if you get past the lanning phase with decent levels and maybe manaboots or something he is quite good in the midgame. The original question was specifying duo lane offlaning as opposed to trilanes. His base stats and movement speed are pretty decent/above average, and the nature of Astral Spirit means that he's alright in some 1v1 match ups. I think that if you pit him against a trilane then the expectation is that your supports will have to be the ones to force out enemy rotations to help you catch up. He can still do reasonably ok 1v1 against carries even at a level deficit because you're far more able to get your stomp off in 1v1 situations. With regards to Soul Ring, my comparison was made to get the point across that it's an incredibly mediocre item. Soul Ring's value on PL is that with safelane farm it's possible to farm in a reasonable time and then use it for lance spam to win your lane (possibly in 2v2 lanes). If your lane is already uncontested, then it becomes quite a useless item in comparison to raw stat items because stats is what ultimately makes PL farm faster, not hp/mana regen. As an offlaner, the expectation is that you'll be gold starved and I really can't find justification in rushing an 800 gold in an item that doesn't offer me utility, survivability or fighting power. | ||

You might have to run it once manually first. Try typing in console: exec autoexec.cfg once, then restart and see what happens. | ||

Or is she like the DotA2 version of LeBlanc whereby you need to be fed to kingdom shit to stand a chance of pulling your weight in the late game? And you generally can't get fed because good players know how to play defensive... Queen of Pain is a top tier mid even in competitive play, she needs to snowball, but due to blink she can just farm creeps and be just fine | ||

And you generally can't get fed because good players know how to play defensive... she has high agi gain and so her auto attack is still pretty strong late game. with full int hero items (aka no mkb or crit) you hit for around 250 before reductions. a 1 position probably gets up to around 400 maybe | ||

I see it usually on any STR damagedealer, except for Kunkka, but how about on BB? | ||
