I calibrated at 4.7k when it came out. I am now around 5.3k. You have to judge stuff on how much people play as well. I probably played more dota 1 before calibration than I played dota 2 after. I have improved compared to then, I haven't climbed much compared to inflation since I play too little. This means I have improved very little more when compared to the average dota player. Any 7k player now is better than pros were when mmr came out (in pubs at least).

She's a strength hero. She has more than enough hp for blade mail to be effective. "Tank" is a word that makes my eyes glaze over. There are like 2 characters in Dota that fit that archetype
Whole point of blade mail is its the quickest second item that makes the largest impact / dmg. It offers everything she needs for cheap.

JUST BEING A STRENGTH HERO DOES NOT MEAN THAT HERO IS A TANK.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 HEROES THAT CAN BE TANKS BECAUSE THEIR OWN NATURAL SKILLS ALLOWS THEM TO TANK. LC doesn't.
Blademail is good but only if you can already survive after taking a crapton of damage. There is NO POINT IN GETTING IT OTHERWISE.
UNINSTALL DOTA PLS. Your posts are depressing/insulting me.

Heres a even better LC guide. Play her in lane like a non terrible human being

calling this guy obnoxious is an understatement lol

Isn't the point of blade mail so that you can solo kill a carry regardless of how farmed he is? Assuming of course you are having a decent game.

Yes, exactly. And you snowball and itemize around duel damage because that is literally difinitive legion commander
I don't know what's going on in these strategy forums lately. I need some of whatever these guys are drinking.
Edit: and I can't believe my first liquid Dota personal attack was in a legion commander jungle guide thread, of all places. It's incredibly fitting to be honest

Admittedly, blademail is a lot less attractive for LC since the damage type change. It used to be that you could rely on reflection from your high HP to blow up high agi glass cannons like AM/slark etc.
Now, if they get too big and you don't have an AC etc they can mow right through you without caring. I think she probably came off worst out of all the blademail users.
Piercing BKB is nice, of course, but she lost a lot of damage because her armour:hp ratio is usually poor compared to the heroes she's duelling.

yeah but which damage item gives you that amount for 2.2k when you can effectively force your opponent to attack you? I don't even think that armlet is more costefficient in that situation or is it? If you duel a support then armlet might be better, but vs a strong autoattacker core almost certainly not.

Dude, they ALWAYS could mow right thru her without caring. She doesn't get +40 armor from Duel the way Axe gets it from Berserker's Call. Why don't you understand? She's not a tank, and is not meant to be (and NEVER was meant to be) built like one.
Only against extremely fragile carries like Sniper etc. was Blademail EVER an option. And that is, an OPTION. Never a part of her core items like the regular LC pubbers are fond of.

uh ur buying blademail for the damage, not because ur a "tank" there's no other cheap item that gives nearly as much damage to cores as blademail during duel
the damage type change on blademail was honestly a pretty big nerf to lc pre-patch u could duel kill pretty much every carry lategame cus they'd just kill themselves on blademail so u were free to go utility items like refresher, force, etc but now u actually have to build damage to keep up lategame
also duel got nerfed so u can't attack through hex or ethereal any more which kind of sucks
|
The point of legion is to kill people during duel. So blade mail is the most cost effective item, even after nerfs.
There's no 2200 gold item that offers as much when blade mail comes online. Maybe armlet in some cases
Edit: and what's with 1 post account personal attacks, "what don't you get?!" Kind of thing? It doesn't belong here.

Leadblast. Starsaber. Pretty sure same person, used to post similar stuff in pd then

NO. When you want damage you buy damage items. Blademail is bought for the RETURN DAMAGE active. noob.

Yeah, unfortunately Blademail does NOT help winning Duels in most cases. What good is Blademail if you're dying anyway? Only against fragile carries that can't really take it as well as they give it (eg. Sniper, as I noted previously).
read before you post shit.

Dude, no decent LC player cares or cared, ever. Blademail on her was always SITUATIONAL at best. AT BEST.
pre-patch u could duel kill pretty much every carry lategame cus they'd just kill themselves on blademail
Dude, I say it again: only against certain carries, and that's depending on their farm anyway. Cus if you wanna face it against a Sniper with MKB + Daedalus + Satanic and you go Blademailing on him he's probably gonna activate his Satanic and chew you regardless.

u know duel forces a hero to attack u right

tbh even just for the stats i doubt theres an item in the price range other than armlet that competes
obviously uh you want to use blademail when you duel

hello, kind of new to the forums here. just wondering if anyone could tell me the most efficient farm pattern for the radiant jungle?
I think I have the dire jungle down pat since it is less of an open space, and you can essentially just go through all three medium and large camps on the right hand side in a triangular pattern and get really good farm.
but the radiant jungle is much more open, and i'm not sure which pattern is the best.
|
^ the ones on the left hand side of the radiant jungle is basically the mirror of the ones on the right hand side of the dire, so perhaps there. cutting off the trees between the large and medium camp will help speed up your way.
