did you mean dispersion?

tbh they're both strong contenders

Dispersion is decent as tanky one, but damage wise it only works in stomps tbh.

Desolate is the one that allows you to slice up supports (and then cores lul) in the backline in no time, i.e. the main reason spectre works in lategame at all. Of course that only makes it good. The part that makes it ridiculous is the condition on it

Honestly impressed by TNC's gameplay there. Really confident, difficult to execute strategy reminiscent of a former Secret. Just a bit unlucky with runes and making the mistake of not keeping shrine vision in check.

I mean, 2 double damage runes for mineski basically just won them the game.


One could argue though that if you are so far ahead you should also have full map control and especially making sure not to give up runes

Dispersion with WW is a lot of fun. Just fountain dive and watch enemy supports die while you stand still.

Which is funny because TnC were the ones who pinged the first dd rune and then gave it to SF for free lol.

Well, he went to his shrine, to the right, while SF was invis just behind and got the first DD, in their first time going outside in a while. It is pretty lucky.

Newbee is stable against tier 2 teams. I wouldn't worry about that

Good that they switched language when they started being spontaneous. Could tell that English is not their first language and some have problems with it.
