Assume you ate talking about tiny? It is the standard since it both mobility and extra damage. Tiny needs to keep stacking up dmg to kill people, if he doesn't they live.

Commentators worried for VGJ.S When they have equal or better lategame.

I am indeed talking about tiny. He got lothars and did literally jack with it. Heck, they would probably get quite a few kills if he went for blink instead.


They havn't showed his items for 4 mins now and I was afk when he picked it up. So assumed it was blink into shadow blade. Agree blink is better.

But if you put linkens on Dusa they can just swap someone else. VGJS have to already be on the lead in order to choose the positioning they want, if Secret can see them they are always getting instakills

Yup, but think they lose in the time it takes to get that and the next item.

Manta makes sure you get ulti off and thus does half of what you need while increasing damage some. Aghs is also good this game to get rid of TB illus. HP swap is of course annoying but if both are low Dusa has mana shield.

I mean, linkens here just acts as gank prevention. In teamfights it is better to put it on someone else.

Ye, but I guess they'll rely on the Linkens from Mirana.

It kinda requires on Terrorblade trying to backstab you.

Which is hard thing to achieve.

Sure Manta is also good to dispel silence. Thing is, they got a Linken on Mirana and that kind of solves their swap problem. Edit: Nvm she changed her item build lol

VGJ.S got the smoke/SB initiation.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

they caught them midlane and fata was alone, got to 10hp and swapped ET into the middle of VGJS. you can imagine that Secret can't really take a fight with ET in the frontlines. Clinkz should've gottne the fuck out instead of trying to snag a kill
