who the heck max aura before stun and wave?
early game is about burst. All the percent based damage stuff is good for mid and late game.

i max out aura before stun since you get +200 magic dmg on one and +30% base dmg on the other which works out at like 5 hits to mobs under the effects of your aurora herrrrrrrp :O
Meh.

The way andro is being used in HoN currently it's better to go 1/4/4 (apply ult as necessary) with her. She'll most likely be just supporting a tri-lane or roaming. Either way, stun lvl 1 is all you need (just for the stun, not damage), aurora's damage isn't that important, what counts is debuffs and vision it gives. Aura is great for team fights and helping your carry farm.
Once again, andro isn't there to deal damage herself, she's there to enhance others and set up kills with swap/stun.

By the way, go watch Duskbin vs Complexity game 2 on honcast right now. All I can say is that this game has over 2 deaths/minute in it and it's just non-stop action. Both teams suddenly deciding to screw the laning phase and just go kill stuff is awesome. I mean, how cool can 50 hero kills be at 20 minute mark?

Also odds are you won't even hit level 14 ^^ Just sit back, throw out an aurora, and swap out someone when necessary

I max aura, however in certain situations, say your dual or trilaning with a nuker such as Pyromancer and facing a healing hero such as DS or Jereziah then I would max the stun for the increased burst.

Most of time I'd do aura, although that may just be force of habit.

To get things back on track quickly:

Why do you guys think isn't Succubus used in competetive scene? She seems like a pretty good support (and I'm in love with her) with decent nuke, debuff and 2 disables.
Is she not viable at all or the abundance of better picks makes her unpickable at the top of the game?

If you're not watching MSI vs OK @ honcast right now you're missing on a great deal of awesomeness.

Really? You can just use smitten to take null down.

Breaky has a good casting voice, but his game knowledge isn't that good, plus when he's cameraman, he'll often miss a lot of the action. That's why he usually has a cocaster who knows the game very well.

by the time it gets to that point, her ulti is only good for the hold regardless. that's also why ulti staff is a horrible pick up for her (adds damage, not grip duration)

Pretty much sums it up nicely. But you gotta love the insight the pros he invites to co-cast have. Swindlemelonzz especially as he's not just an awesome player but he's also really enthusiastic about casting and shares a lot of pro-wisdom on us noobs. I really like it how he casually mentions stuff like getting boots and wards at start (support on hellbourne) and rushing down immediately, then selling the boots for full refund after 13 sec. All this so you can ward bottom legion spawn before they can really counter it effectively and be back home to buy stuff before the first wave comes out.

P. S.

Man, Online Kingdom is so baller.
+ Show Spoiler [OK vs MSI] +

Game 3, all on the line and OK goes: fuck jungle, fuck carry, fuck tri-lane. They went 1-2-2 pub-style.
Freaking ownage game.

Also, when's the last time you've seen 0-8 N0tail on Silhouette?

He went 0-7 against SK (old EG) with bdiz (i think) destroying him mid with witchslayer. He then ended the game like 12-7 :p

Swindle has great game knowledge - he is a pro; but there isn't a lot to say about his personality :/ anyway.. WHP5 now = eZ?
