Part of the reason Optic are in this position is probably on drum before dagger.

Well I'm sure almost every team have muted VP.

They only know how to spam chatwheels after winning fights just by riding the gold advantage and casting spells.

That's actually the reason in my opinion why they have been losing so far. Bat had free farm mid, and he decided to rush drums as team fight item, while he doesn't have team to fight with him, both Drow and Alche just wanted to farm. If he rushed dagger and tried to catch Brood, they wouldn't be so far behind in the early game.

Very good Lich ban instead of brood PPD.


I think he was trying to bait the brood out, that may have been unwise though considering the available alch counters

Honestly think he did the right choice, it played out bad but drum allows constant fighting for map control. Blink allows a gank every 120s when ulti is up. Between which nothing is happening (more or less) for Optic.

He can't do anything with a blink either. Bat requires some damage input from his own teammates. In fact, drums have a higher solo kill threat.

I don't mind VP being eliminated if they're playing poorly, I root for them because they're entertaining but that's not the case atm.

Not easy to go high ground against bat. If alch gives bat aghs, bat is going to have some massive upgrade in damage. Give jakiro aghs and VP is never going to push again lol
