right but you were arguing for buying quelling after morbid mask

i did say you could pick it up before right after that post if you wanted to. however, I still think the timing is a liiiiiittle too early to pick it up unless you still have left over regen but if people are farming efficiently picking it up before their morbid mask, ill have to check it out.

Are Quelling Blade + Ring of Protection + Tangos + 1 Branch good start items?

generally not
start with stout, pick up qb from sideshop when u need it since u sure don't need it to CS with, etc. 1 thing of tangos may be greedy depending on what ur lane is gonna look like.

pre phase it takes like .5 tango to clear ez camp at lv3 if u go 111
2 or 3 for hard camp depending on spawn
at lv5 it takes like nothing for ez and 1 or 1.5 for hard
post phase its even ezier

im not saying u pick it up pre phase every game, but if ur lane is ez why not

i pick up qb as my first item in lane most of the time because im gonna take whatever edge i can get when last hitting.

this applies to like any melee safelane carry. i dont really buy the "you dont need it if you know how to last hit" excuse

It's not that "you don't need it if you know how to lasthit", but that past a certain level of ability, you get more lasthitting comfort by forcing the enemy laner away from the lane with items that make you more dangerous to them than by having higher lasthitting damage, but having the enemy laner still be there to bother you.

If your lane is free, go ahead and buy a QB.

The hero needs to convert stats/damage into a meaningful threat, though.

Obviously troll contributes a ton with small items, but I wouldn't say that's a blanket rule. Stuff like spec/am/whatever don't have many other uses for 225g.

Well with those heroes, your stayability in lane also hinges heavily on when you get your Ring of Health, and a QB doesn't necessarily mean you get that Ring of Health sooner in difficult lanes.

dunno. when you're safe lane and someone is pulling for you, i dont see much use in getting it if its gonna take you extra regen to make it through the hard camp (dire) or medium camp (radiant).

i personally value a quicker morbid mask so that if shit hits the fan you don't have to necessarily go back to base.

like yango said, its a matter of comfort by being able to stay in lane, however you choose to do it.

that's why i see the value in getting qb after morbid or after helm

You're arguing 2 different things.

I think you rarely want QB as the first 225 gold you spend after you get to lane, but after Boots/Basi it starts to get tricky. Especially if you have level 6+Phase, QB lets you push tower faster (since you kill creeps faster), so even if you aren't necessarily going straight to the jungle after, it has its uses once you no longer want to maintain creep equilibrium, especially with how fast Troll can break tower with ult + 1-2 supports.

Buying it just to go jungle with Mask isn't the only reason you buy QB.

I guess it depends on the lane. I find it's fairly common that you run into a pub lane that you can't easily push out or kill, but that also doesn't heavily threaten you. QB's worth quite a few CS in dumb standoff lanes.

Sure, that usually means both teams have shitty lanes, but this whole pentacore thing produces a lot of shitty lanes.

true, but I think that comfort of getting the mask a little sooner is part of my reason for holding onto the 225 gold.

i'll play around with it some more, as I plan on spamming troll for a little while

If you are radiant it's probably worth it for cutting trees in the jungle alone. That saves 10 seconds every minute

Concerning all the troll issues...
I just yesterday started counterpicking wyvern against him... and it works REALLY well. And I mean I did it with a reason.: Her Q can kite him temporarly very easy; her W is a nice burst and slow (additional kiting); E obviously negates his physical dmg on one target ( and troll has issues switching targets, imo hes good and focusing one after another)
and her R disables him for ~3 sec and in the optimal case turns his ult against his own team! Seriously it feels like that hero is made against troll :D and my game sample size for now is 2!!! which is more than one, which means im right!
So for 6.84 just add ww to cm

I did try WW too it works if your team coordinates well. Fundamentally, WW has some tools to deal with troll unlike many others.

but quelling blade makes enemies deny less in hard lanes....
making ur next item even quicker
quelling blade also makes u take less harass. just coz u can kill that low creep easier meaning u are there (enemy range) for less time meaning u get hit less

180 attack speed is pretty good. Could troll be viable again?
