Honestly if it was not a clear stomp, it would be game losing item pickup.

If it wasn't a clear stomp they would itemized for the late game. Deso is fine to finish the game right now.

The more armor target has the lower damage amplification deso has.

Ehhhh. It's a linear formula in regards to EHP. The negative armor formula in dota 2 is different than in dota 1 so below 0 armor actually is less efficient unless you have like negative 46 armor or something really unrealistic.

It's linear formula in regards to EHP but realistically damage amplification deso has does fall off with armor. And we don't even talk about negative armor since col has insane amounts of positive armor for even combination of ac-deso-riptide to be good against col's cores.

DESO FUCKING SUCKS VS ARMOUR. GOD

+ Show Spoiler +
but no seriously the marginal improvement of deso vs low armor heroes (e.g. 7 armor to 0 HAHA eg puns) is great while the marginal improvement of deso vs high armor heroes (47 armor to 40) is basically garbage. You might as well get a bf and that creep standing beside DK creates a cleave that hits DK for more than the -7 armor would have provided



Bu bu but Razor needs to right click and reduce armor faster.... [/rhetorical]

It does. Diminishing returns and so forth.

However, sven has 8 armour and is nowhere near AC, so it's gonna wreck 3/5 of CoL I guess.

Sven has warcry. And weave.

But he always gets solo picks off. Hes not into team fighting right now.

Dagon is better in this case. I am not even kidding.

I think Sumail has this, just saying. And I'm sure he ran the pick up by his team mates. And he hates towers.

They're stomping hard, he could buy another mek for his team and they'd probably still win.
However there are better items to buy and if they were struggling against complexity it'd be a huge mistake.

Sumail is reaching the point where he can cut any hero on coL with one SoF.

I'm not really sure it matters as long as he backs it up with more damage. A single BF isn't that amazing a pick up either.

Yeah, I think Deso is just generally crap on Ember, especially if he's this far ahead. Don't really understand the pickup.

sigh

let's say a hero has 0 armor and 1000 physical effective hp (pehp)

this hero at 1 armor has 1060 pehp

at 2 armor, 1120 pehp.

so yes, it's linear. BUT LINEAR FUCKING SUCKS HERE SINCE YOU'RE ALWAYS COMPARING IT TO A BASE CONDITION AND NOT CONSIDERING MARGINAL VALUE

1060/1000 = 6% increase in PEHP

1120/1060 = 5.66% increase in PEHP

...

etc.

so to reiterate -armor is definitely worse against heroes with high armor. math.

Single BF is really bad but every single pro ember buys it and then goes crit/MKB/skadi etc. Pros just build ember weird.
