It's draft (the other teams) and execution dependent. He can be pretty useless in games.

I really need to take the time to dig up that clip of kky saying that almost never is a game decided at draft and that blaming it on the draft is stupid.


"Outdraft" is overused almost as much as "throw" these days.

they werent outdrafted,they picked a TA instead off a free win death prophet whats so hard to understand
theres no way navi could have delt with it

yes they were, they outdrafted themselves with the retarded chen pick that didn't even have a mek at the end of the fucking game. they played 4v5 ever since enigma left the jungle. dp might have been good, but the main reason they lost was the completely useless chen.


Chen had his Mek and I don't think he's necessarily useless. Taking a line-up when you're behind on teamfight then having to spend >10k gold simply for positioning/greed (3x blink, 2x midas) is just going to get hard punished by a team that can push early.

he's very strong in push strats especially because of his heal. and that's what navi did this game. it was the perfect pick for the push as well as the ults combo

You wanted to say any other fucking support? Chen is never an ideal pick this meta, especially if opponent's team does not do dumb stuff like VG did in their game against Newbee.

lol people really think if ta got a bkb c9 would win that. It wouldn't have been any closer if you have to run in, bkb before cause it doesn't remove veno slow, and then fight. aui chen during that mid fight was doing a tribal dance at his t4s and pie was dead which pretty much summed up the game for those 2, game was over after that 5th pick.


It's not just sing getting bkb it's both sing and Doom having bkb.

Then Navi just back off every time they want to go in and until wd heal outlasts c9. trap and wards puts both teams at same mvspd. Also means every fight they have to walk into void enigma invoker instead of blinking and immediately shutting down blackhole/kill dendi. If they bkb before they waste it, if they blink in they die. Pie and aui did nothing that game, 2 bkbs wouldn't change that and win the game.


2 Bkbs would have given them a chance. It wouldn't have won them the game no but it would at least give them some hope. Against deathball type things you can't go items that don't allow you to fight.

it wouldn't give them any more of a chance than blink in instantly killing dendi and dooming black hole. They bkb, walk in, void chronos them and they just walk away. You're thinking it gives them more of a chance because you see the team fight positioning and then imagine if they had a bkb the fight would be closer not taking into account the only reason they're in that team fight position is because of C9's blinks. Not imagining how painful it would be for them to initiate a fight if doom and ta had to walk in and pop bkb before veno slow. So, yes, if they magically got 4k from nowhere and had blink and bkb they'd have a chance, but lots of games would change if one team got 8k from nowhere.

It's draft (the other teams) and execution dependent. He can be pretty useless in games.


and not every support can play old heroes well like kky.

well, that cunt rushed agha rofl so it is playstyle dependent, gj kky!!!

I was sure the most overused word was "meta"

i feel that "meta" has really fallen off. throw and outdraft are so strong these days

he can range from insane to terrible, depends on composition and kind of farm

Zai has carried games with him if he can get bkb/aghs with decent setup ala EG vs Nar'vi which was a hilarious game.
