I just noticed that if you go to the ingame console it tells you whenever it saves the game. Nicely done, Valve.

His goal is to shut Morph down, silence stops him from morphing if you catch him before he starts it.

maybe both, hex stops him from morphing as well


No it doesn't. You can still morph while stunned, hexed or taunted.

Silence or doom are the only things that prevent morph.

no you cant morph while hexed


Would you like to put money on that?

I would if I had any

Could always bet in-game items.

It was pretty popular for awhile in teams that already have a ton of disable (enigma for example) but just need more damage. It's faded out of popularity these days, though.

Yeah, it really just depends on what you need out of your QoP, depending on what tools the rest of your team already has and what the other team looks like. Which is one of the many reasons that makes QoP a great hero, she can be pretty versatile in terms of what items she gets. :p

I still have too much to learn . In what situations is an Aghanim better, maybe it's when you got lots of kills in early ganks?

Cant understand why Invoker would even use Tornado in that situation, you never use it during teamfights like that, he has a billion much more useful spells for those situations especially if your team has area targeting spells and that's basically all they have

When your team needs the AoE damage more than the utility of Sheep/Silence, when you can afford teamfighting without BKB, and when you can afford to base a lot due to a lack of regen.

if you're confident in going the aggressive build, need some nuke dmg. aghanims is so good because you only got 40sec cd on your ult when it's level 3 and you get some pretty good stats. however no disable or something liek that, if your team lacks that aghanims is probably not the best option. since it's only 40 sec cd you can often use it to farm big creepwaves as well.

If you're against a team with not many escapes, or a squishy team that you're able to burst down with one scream/ult combo. Against a team with beefy heroes like Morph, CK and Beastmaster it'd be okay, but not right away. In this case, they're trying to shut Morph down, with the silence + chain stuns with whatever Rubick can steal (ideally Roar)

When you already have enough disable in your team without needing the hex, but just need some extra damage. Can also help against a very push-heavy team for anti-push type stuff. I'd say in general hex is the better item to get, rushing Aghanims first on QoP is very dependent on your team composition, as well as the other team's.

And what the guy above me said too ^

It is like a ravage, allows everyone to get into position. It was just unlucky, half a second sooner or later from the scream and that would have been perfect, but C'est la vie

Don't think it really changed much honestly. They had already lost the fight by that stage and all that tornado would have changed is maybe a consolation kill on a support or maybe not.

I see, much thanks for great explanation. Maybe it's possible to apply the same logic to pub games where Lycans or Ursas can potentially get out of control?
