IMO it's way superior than the "standard" Drums. | ||

[A] needed to take over the game off taking outers and using their ganking heroes (SK, Nyx, Mirana) to control C9's development. C9's midgame tempo rested on the ability of the Bat to counter that pressure, and [A] fed 2 fights to the Bat's Blink timing before all 3 outers were down. From that point, it was more or less just waiting for C9 to develop their cores because [A] no longer had the necessary control over the game to end the game when they needed to.

Vanguard is better when you have more backline damage dealers in those early fights because all you need to do is use your ult to create space for those damage dealers to do damage. AA is pretty much the poster child for this because Chilling Touch and Ice Blast are big backline damage-dealing spells in those fights. Drums in turn is for lineups where you have more heroes that are there to make space for YOU to do damage, and you get more opportunities to be the last one there to clean up and chase down stragglers. Basically Vanguard is favored by the kind of games people are playing with Spectre (picking her later in a draft as a strong frontline hero to back up firstpick backline damage-dealing supports like AA, Rhasta, Rubick). | ||

They have the most op hero in the current version with sing/aui/bone playing heroes they have done really well with lately | ||
