This kind of question is nearly impossible to answer in a vacuum. Someone who actually saw the same game or if you link to it someone might want to watch it and try to answer it.

^ Basically the above poster's answer, but being Envy, and the fact that it was on his stream, my best guess would be - for the same reason Sing_Sing will go 5 bfury kunkka on his stream.

I recommend grinding nightstalker games for mmr



Hm, im not sure how nightstalker support would work. I guess if you were good enough with him you could pull it off. You'd have to be leaderboard worthy though.

he's pretty close ^_^


only 3 more games! =)

Are you asking for what starting items you should go? Or items in general against a huskar?

Honestly, sf's damage output in the mid-game does pretty well against huskar who is generally weak to physical damage. In the starting laning phases though, you're going to get wrecked if you take tons of spear harass. Lucky for you - you outrange him, so your best weapon there isn't your build, but your positioning. Don't stay too far up, raze if you need to to get last hits, build up your necromastery charges and once you get enough, you can really just manfight the husk.

I don't think you can itemise specifically against huskar, unless I dunno you want to get an early ghost scepter...

I really don't think that's even an option. By the time you get a ghost scepter, he'll be 6, and if you ghost, he'll just jump on you. Now you can't right click him, you can't raze him and you can't run because you're a slow useless sf so he'll just stick on you until you come out of ghost. And if you're counting on your team to kill the husk for you, you've rendered yourself completely useless as the mid sf.

How to toggle Lone druid ulti to dodge stun / attack? I know that I'm only invulnerable for like 0.5 sec instead of the full 2 sec transformation. But can the enemy still right click me during transformation?

Even if they can, 0.5 sec invul every 2 secs in early-mid game means I can continually dodge 1 every 2 attacks -- is that correct? Just seems a bit too good to be true.
Best or nothing.

I think you just have to use your superior physical damage on huskar, early on you're quite squishy so if he jumps you you're probably dead, should just focus on getting the return kill. Getting a fast bkb negates the flaming spears damage, rendering huskar fairly useless.

If huskar ults you and both of you are at full hp you are dead and can't kill him til bkb. If you were able to harass him down before the jump you have a decent shot at trading

Yeah but for half of that you will be at reduced armor and hp. Basically you only transform dodge if its 100% the only way you can live while escaping. Its really easy with a little practice.

LD's ult transformation is super bugged to be way better than it should be anyway. It's a full disjoint rather than stun dodging.

I like it on death prophet too. Think it has more impact then a bloodstone if you combine it with an euls.
