Do pro QoPs ever go for an Aghanims' ?


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.

People still go aghanims but the silence/sheep is just too important against this LGD lineup.


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?


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)


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?

Yes.

hopefully LGD is more patient with RS, that was a huge risk they took and it really turned the game upside down for them

Yep! Disables are king against heroes like Morph, Anti-Mage, Lycan, Ursa, etc.

In pubgames you just farm and 1v5

Because of that you want Agh, then you farm stuff with ult. 250 creeps at 30min -> triple divine rapier build is pretty good on QoP

instead of taking up one inventory slot + potential risk of losing gem, LGD is putting the gem on flying courier and combined with ranged hero + hawk, they're just dewarding everything without risking losing the gem

small, but brilliant
