Or the other team is coordinating Naix bomb initiations really well.. Eul's is so good vs. LS though, dispels OW and gives you MS to kite him. yup, that's why he'll only be a niche pick in pro matches, but will still be able to stomp (some) pubs. he's very figured out at the moment. especially since all you have to do is pick doom and get an initiation item. the hero is useless at that point. | ||

Thanks for the reply but you're answer doesn't really help, AC has a lot of big parts so it's hard to farm up without space which is why I was thinking SnY since it's made up of smaller parts, but if you think that it's not the best item to go for what would you recommend? I know I can skip drums but I like the racecar build, it seems to fit my playstyle, I don't really like passively farming on naix, I prefer to start fighting early and as long as fights are going well I don't have trouble progressing past this point, but if they aren't I have to resort to farming and AC just seems to take so long to finish that by the time I get it the game is sometimes too far gone. | ||

Usually you want to max Rage as soon as possible and after that you start maxing Feast, skill Infest whenever you can obviously. | ||

If you have opportunity to be aggressive then the extra range on open wounds is going to be really strong. If you are more on the back foot or they have a lot of nuke damage maxing rage is going to benefit you more. In lane youre rarely going to need more than 1 level in feast and youre going to want to have a point in each of his skills before long. You just need to feel out the lane because its flexible. | ||

Step 1: Farm Phase Boots and Assault Cuirass in addition to your midgame items Step 2: One or more teammates buys Boots of Travel and Necronomicon Step 3: Activate Phase and Infest one of your lane creeps. Step 4: Move it to the opponent's base via their jungle, rather than through a lane Step 5: Teammate(s) BoT to the infested creep. Step 6: Consume the infested creep Result: Your team has multiple heroes inside their base, with backdoor protection disabled, with basically no advance warning compared to pushing a creep wave. | ||

Consume the infested creep Basically like playing Chen and Tinker but less freedom than Chen or with a Helm of the Dominator. Neat little niche tactic and good to put on a core hero for global ganks but I wouldn't hold my breath to use it for ratting. | ||
