I'm not much of a dusa player, why is Manta bad on her?

1. Her illusions suck, lurk it, there was a nice gif demonstrating how hard they suck. They are also paperweight due to no mana shield and 450% damage taken.

2. Manta does not really deal with any of anti-medusa disables (eul/halberd/hex). I mean, it does not deal with any at all.

3. It actually reduces your EHP due to it's active costing more mana than it provides.


Manta is not bad on Medusa , but in this situation they really needed something else ( Rapier,MKB) to stand a chance really.

Now on the other hand Manta ember is bad and close to terrible.

Most pros have shit itemisation/builds, they just have better reaction/gameplay to cover up those flaws.

Man, no offense, but i just listed 3 reasons why manta on medusa is terrible for all purposes it can be bought for outside of using it as scouting tool. Dare to give arguments to support your claim that it is not bad?

stats, movespeed, splitpushing

She has an awful mobility, so anything helping her ability to splitpush and to move in the battleground is quite good. You won't get her a forcestaff/blink dagger/euls anyway

It's still a safe sieging item, but 99% of the time Dusa isn't in a hurry to high ground and doesn't need to buy an item that sacrifices fighting power just to be able to safely damage towers.

I could see it being good when Dusa's team actually needs to be able to play out a slow siege with it, but people often don't pick dusa into games that would play out like that.

Burning always finishes Manta just before BG go highground (so sometimes he'll get it last item, sometimes after Skadi already). I have my doubts whether it's really the best item he could be getting at that point (especially early), but I don't think it's terrible either.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
