Why do teams even pick alchemist, when they 6slot him in 30 minutes and then runaway for 20 minutes untill the advantage is gone?

There is strategy, too. Mostly positional play in this one. The low kill score tells not only the tale of carefulness but also of very good positioning, and being able to do that for 46 minutes+.. requires a lot of focus.
Don't like it? Nobody is forcing it down your throat..


So playing safe is staying in your base while slowly losing your huge advantage? How is that safe.


They cant go for some super 5 man push because morph storm and furion will push their lanes and force them to either go all-in or go back. They need at least one, preferably two pickoffs and iG is positioning carefully and not exposing themselves to pickoffs while keeping lanes relatively pushed. See???

I really cannot understand why the Weaver is going for a 0 dmg build :/


Because he would get molested if he didnt had either linkens or bkb

At least someone would let Hao destroy while he gets molested, right? Now they can just ignore him while he tickles

A Weaver's base defensive stats are not enough to make room for Alch to do damage.

He'd absorb at least 2 hard CCs though(one is needed to get through Linkens). It's not like IG is swimming in those

If pudge and ursa is picked every game, it will be boring.

A lot of people obviously didn't watch 6.43-6.48b

They played that map for like 2 years or so and every game is dual kill stun lanes with mass blink daggers kill fest.

Gets really boring too.

Games like these are good for diversity and it makes you appreciate the tense navi games more.

Guys, I get the Tong-Fu strat.

They know they'll be facing Orange, so Hao needs to show that he can rival M-God in at least one area. So he chose to break the record on most gold held to show that he's the daddy.

iG still are boring though.

Doesn't matter if you think weaver is incapable of clearing the creep waves faster than alch, therefore alch must take all the farm. Fact of the matter is, replicate > Alch. If morphling gets 6 slotted, tongfu will lose. iG knows this and is just biding their time, b/c they know tongfu has nothing to lock down and gank either storm or morph, thanks to their mobility plus linkens.

Going all in is better than slowly losing. They are obviously not going to win this way. By now they are probally not even able to end it, but they were like 25 mins ago.

Is there a reason why alchis who are 6-slotted and start exchanging items never go for something orb-ish?
Like in this game you always think about the heart because it's the obvious choice to tank up but why's noone considering something like skadi or satanic instead for a change? I don't think there's on orb on anything he has, both skadi and satanic give nice HP as well. Sure usually those are ranged items but he's fast as shit and if he stuns he's sure to hit at least for some time, isn't he?

I swear iG is the only chinese team that can think on their feet. The rest of the teams are just robots with no capabilities of dealing with adversity or showing any form of creativity.

This game should have ended by 35min max with the start TongFu had, really horrid decision making and absolutely zero confidence in themselves.
