 And what's with people not leaving when the game is blatantly over? It's like people have this undying need to see the throne explode. Reminds me of the idiots on PGT hiding a pylon to drag the game out. | ||

you don't get to see all your stats and stuff (the ending game board) unless you stay til the end when the tree or throne dies. and why would you get mad at them staying? when they're right about to die and they're staying, it gives you more chances to play around and feed on them it's fun =] i'm of course talking about pubs haha | ||

Koreans also talk to make up for lack of skill, but usually it's maphack accusations instead of shittalking. | ||

Say I have a hero that I want to get a scepter on, like Rhasta, Zeus, or Leshrac, for example. Now, obviously scepter doesn't give regen, so I obviously want some regen to be able to spam more effectively. My question is: do I buy a sobi at the start and leave my base without any branches, or do I just save up and buy a void stone and delay my boosters? I always go 2 tango/5 branches at the start now, unless I'm going arcane or vanguard, in which case I go 2 tango/RoD or stout, respectively, and then however many branches I can afford. This is a bit more difficult if I'm going sobi first, as then you can't really afford any branches unless it's RD. 570 in -RD: 2 tangoes (180) + sobi (325) = 505g (1 branch) 538 in -AP (when horn sounds): 2 tangoes (180) + sobi (325) = 505g (0 branches) So if I go tangoes/sobi I go to my lane with no stats, and often that leaves me very vulnerable to harass, as I'll have 50-100 HP less than my teammates. ;; | ||

Most of the heroes that can use Scepter have more important items to get like say the three heroes you listed: Rhasta - Blink Dagger is a must, two talis/bracers can hold over until mid game. Lesharc - Health/Mana (Mana more) and Blink, he farms well so it really doesn't matter. Zeus - Arcane to Blink. I stated before Scepter is bad because you can't effectively farm it fast and the rewards aren't great. So my advice to you is to determine how comfortable you are laning with the hero, then get tangos, clarities, branches, circlets as you wish. RoR and Sobi aren't really that great unless you plan on pumping stats so Sobi can scale quickly for you in early-mid game. | ||

I guess the whole bracer vs. branches thing is just preference usually. I've stopped buying circlets as starting items, and I go tangoes/branches to "feel out" the game, and then I'll get a bracer or two if I think I'll need them. Is that how most players do it? | ||

circs if you feel like you need bracers/talis/bands later, otherwise branches and resell later are better unless you are running some kind of lane control then clarities are needed too. | ||

Otherwise the effect of Agh actually isn't that useful... you can actually delay it even on Lesh :< | ||

 I only do it on Ogre in newb games when they're letting me go 'Chinese Gold Farmer' mode. And of course I get dagger right after it.The problem with Aghanim's is the staff which costs too much. Or rather blink dagger is too good to pass up on. One of the most common ways of ganking starting mid game is blinkdagger -> stun so they can't react. And if only sand king has a dagger and lina, for example, doesn't, there's a problem. Dagger is more effective offensive than defensive so keep that in mind. Sadly, dagger is now widely known as a necessity and it's going to be nerfed again Personally cd to 45 sec and mana cost to 100 should be enough of a nerf but I hear they're making it 60 sec cd (?)As for starting items, you should only get RoR if you're planning to get a 2nd or an early hood (bristleback solo). I recently solo'd luna vs magnataur in mid lane and I expected mag to come so I went double RoR and that worked out ok. Tangos are more useful in keeping your hp closer to 100% so you can gank/avoid dying. Also tango juking is fun | ||
