Hey guys, because our predictions are already ruined due to MVP's first place in this group, should we bet on Archon being first place in tomorrow's group? : D

only the damage is scaled, so the points are better spent in aoe armor+ms buff/cleave for farming

if it's a free lane, just start levelling cleave to farm. warcry is just really really good. im not sure if it's worth levelling storm hammer in the lategame

I max storm hammer as a support sven and because it's a hammer and my name is HammerKick.

But as a carry one point is more than enough, you need the stats for farm and stats efficiency.

Its a farming Sven not a fighting/support Sven

Cleave flashfarms way quicker, you also don't need the damage if you can get that earlier SnY and Blink due to cleaving.

So, can EE Morph carry this?

well there is more than 1v1 lategame. Beastmaster lategame is really fucking good. So is chrono / lina etc

Pretty even lategame imo. Roar can shut down sven during bkb and if he can't reach anything after that he is kinda useless even with 30k networth because Secret is going to keep at range. But at the same time Lina / Void / Enchantress can do shit too. Morph will be able to 1 shot enchantress with shotgun.

TL;DR the game isn't 1v1 lategame

I mean, out of this whole line-up Secret has, the only heroes that can really carry (not just be strong lategame, quite honestly Secret's line-up is good at that) are morph and invoker and w33 does not look on point.

Also, as someone who did ridiculous amounts of math on shotgun back in the day, Morph does not 1 round enchantress with cloak+dragon lance+aghs no matter how much agility he amasses in 6 slots.

Let's not go crazy, here. Keep in mind Archon is an NA team not named EG.

Archon losing 1-2 in both games in Group C would be an accomplishment.

There is actually no such thing as a fighting Sven, unless by that you mean a useless hero. What can he offer? Just 1 average nuke/stun and Warcry. That's all. No right clicks.

EVERY Sven (support aside, though why would you pick Sven support?) should be maxing Cleave by 8-9. Farming Sven is best Sven.

There are still too many factors to say 1 person will be the lategame. The difference between a 1 man chrono and 3 man is huge.

I probably shouldnt be arguing but this shit bothers me so much.

So let's say Venge swaps sven he gets roar dies. Has to buyback, get smoke ganked and 100 sec no buybacks. Well that's just game. Positioning and initiation is huge factors lategame, not just who hits the hardest. Because Sven might not be hitting at all lategame.
