The 4-12 score is very misleading btw. Na'Vi's cores are in very good shape and pushing against Na'Vi's lineup is only going to happen if they get caught out of position outside of their base with no buybacks or something. Phoenix and WD both can counter initiate against chrono / wyvern very well too as long as their positioning is good.

Sumail made it a thing but it's super insanely gimmicky IMO. Guess its not quite as much of an all your eggs in one basket thing when its your offlaner potm instead of mid, but still.

mirana aghs is also good on mid or off if you have a solid 4 that will scale into a core, mirana might not scale to super late but Enchant definitely will

why's the commentator saying without invoker they have no other setup while there's void in the line up ?
and mirana is also a situational initiator, especially in pub

It gives you a lot of room to do plays that look 'gimmicky' but are very low risk, high reward. Your starfall can do nearly 1k damage with the 2x2 drop, then an arrow on top of it and an extra 600 damage aoe, all the while leap keeps you reasonably safe to disengage afterwards or gives you more mobility to pursue. You're never really going to be a big right clicker anyway, but it gives you so much utility it's almost always worth it.

It's a decent "Turret Enchantress" game. Though they've got to get jump on a few heroes to really make it shine.

Void is often seen more as a follow up initiator than a straight up balls to the wall go in first kinda thing, especially if you don't buy a blink. The delay between time walk and chronosphere is significant, and time walk range isn't that great either especially with a hawk around so most teams can play around it. Also, chrono was on cd from the failed attempt to gank General earlier just there at Roshan.

He was talking about the rosh fight where chrono was down.

I've not been impressed with most Tinker drafts I've seen until this one by Na'Vi. 2 Tower-pushing Cores with Tinker makes a lot more sense of a Synergy than using Tinker has some 4-Protect-1 strategy. Which always just seems to drag the game 15+ minutes longer than it should take to end.

Pro players have the reactions to smash your dick in the dirt instantly, so the risk is considerable. The reward is also not very high at all. It did a lot of damage to phoenix and didn't scratch anyone else. You're going to jump in, risk getting disabled and murdered for some damage that phoenix can just ult off if he needs to. That's 2 item slots, item slots are a huge investment. People don't take how valuable slots are seriously enough.

Every 8 seconds he can do something, then he's a ranged creep. In my book that isn't worth it at all IMO.
