I had a discussion with a friend about Manta on Gyro? Your opinions people?

I find it useless in most of the cases but the apparent ones, dodging stuff etcetera, I just think its a waste of a slot.

even if there were no major threats that required a bkb, manta is still not good, i think lol

if you wanna turn a casual yasha into anything, you're probably better off with the sny

I can only think of one good reason for manta - dealing with Techies mine-piles.

Still doesn't seem like a good reason.

Casual yasha on the other hand is pretty awesome.

There's no need to upgrade the yasha. I don't even like sny. The only good reason for manta is against overgrowth. For everything else, bkb should suffice.

Well in Gyro late game, the items that are essential are:

Boots + BKB + Satanic + MKB + Butterfly

Personally, for my last item I'd go either Daedalus, Rapier, or Manta (because you already have Yasha from HotD + Yasha opening) . I don't think SnY has much use on Gyro at all. Manta is better than most are giving it credit for. The DPS from illusions is significant, not to mention all the things you can Manta out of when you only have 5 seconds BKBs in the lategame.

Agreed for overgrowth. You get Manta for anything you want to get out of that you don't want to waste a bkb charge on. So Overgrowth...maybe a global silence if you are in the back lines...really not much. Most things imply you are being jumped and then you want to pop bkb anyway.

even then, your range is pretty short..one mine will likely take out your illusion and then you've only killed one mine.

dunno, i don't think this is a valid reason to opt for the manta style lol

By default manta always has more usefulness than sny in late game, but sny is more useful early on. Sny is often gotten on gyro as a source of bulk and for the yasha component, as well as a means to delay your bkb. I personally don't even go yasha on gyro, favouring an earlier bkb. Not saying that sny is bad though.

One of the biggest issues with players and their items, is that they seem compelled to upgrade every item. Sometimes you can just leave yasha as it is, buy other items first, and sell it after.

of course. but i think that, like was stated above, the only circumstance that you would upgrade a casual yasha into a manta is if you are playing against something that requires a dispel you don't want to waste a bkb charge on. however, there are very few circumstances that you wouldn't rather have the bkb. so to the point that sparked this debate, it is more often a waste of a slot.

however, should a player choose to get a yasha (which i personally like on agi carries that rely on movement speed to deal dmg, like gyro and his rocket barrage) SNY is a 2k upgrade from that beefs you up if you're even or ahead. i think i remember a pro commenting that if you can pick it up before like 15 minutes, in general, the value is there.

as with any item decision you're gonna need to pay attention to the status of the game and you can't say that this is an item you'll pick up every game because, like you said, it delays your bkb..which in some games is really really not good for gyro.

e: although as i post this, we're all pub players here..how many times have we seen a teammate blow up an illusion after a manta style is popped lol

Recently I've taken to buying Yasha and an ogre club, and then deciding whether to build the club into Sange or BKB based on the tempo of the game.

Forgive me if this was discussed already I looked for it in thread, but is agh's just not worth it on this hero? I haven't built it a single time and haven't really missed it in my experience. Seems that gold is better spent on damage and such.

Yesterday i saw some pro on TI (cant remember which one) build Skadi. Skadi is a item that i like to build in most carries, is it good on gyro?

I am seeing a lot of drums on gyro, when should i get one? When i shouldn't get one? Should you always get one?

When I play support gyro, I rather get other items instead of a global ulti. When I'm doing well, I'd go Dagon eblade. If doing bad, then the usual glimmers and force.

Whenever you feel that all your gyro needs now is bulk, just buy skadi.

They do different things. Skadi is more pure bulk against stuff that can catch you and risk 100-0ing you (e.g. Lina combo, BKB-piercing stuns, hexes, etc.). Satanic is more survivability/sustainability in situations where you actually get time to autoattack and fight back (e.g. enemy carry you have to manfight against).
