See on Axe right, is it worth getting Battle Hunger? Or just Counter Helix, Call, Culling and then stats?

Noobs often die to Battle Hunger if you lane with Axe, so yeah I would get them in TL inhouses vs people who couldn't last hit anything even if their life depended on it xD

But nah.

Lol Naib.

One point in hunger is good against blinkers.

Hmm, yeah I guess one point is good if someone JUST gets away from you, could be a mini nuke

Imo, an extra point in call/helix would have fixed that "just got away" issue. And if you use it after you maxed one those two (lvl 10), then it won't do any kind of significant damage.

However, it could be used when you're completely dominating a lane, like 2v1, or having huskar as your lane partner vs 2 melee, things like that, it COULD be worth getting it instead of call.

hunger at 10 is good vs certain line ups because its right around the time you get blink, so you can abuse it vs their blinkers/heroes that get away (if you 1v2 2 melee in a pack of units, you cull 1 and other has <100 hp left, you just hunger and he dies whether he stays or runs).

Hunger is good against certain matchups where they can't come forward to last-hit (or are just noob).

Of course, I still prefer call/helix.

Anyone have good ideas against axe's who go between the first two towers and do that branch/helix thing? Usually I call for lane-swap or for a lvl 1/2 nuke gank, but sometimes in pubs...

laugh at them.
i remember some team doing that strat against us in a cw, except they had a healer and someone else with axe, and when they lost they blamed the map version.
so i laughed.

With a well-rounded team, you can come up on top, but pubs garuntees at least 1-2 noobs, who quit or feed =/

hunger sucks

anti-blink, maybe but then again I find it rare for battle hunger to be a worthwhile investment. Rarely does it stop initiation.

If I do get it, I get it after lvl 16 when fights generally last longer and it prevents dagger users from blinking out/re-blinking.

Eh, depends who's got the blink and why you want to stop it. You aren't going to get hunger off on ES when he's sitting behind a base tower, but you'll likely get it off on a dagger zeus player during a gank.

For use in lane? Not unless the lane's completely fucked, and even then its not worth delaying full call/helix till 13-14.

You can out-farm them for dagger anyways.

Wat? I never seen that actually work. I've seen people try it and I just went "rofl noobz". I guess it would only work if he brings some kind of stun with him, but he can't have both call and helix @ lvl 1, so he's just gonna take a bunch of creep damage while you look at him going "o.O".

Either way, if you're itching for 1st blood, there are way better combos/rune + orb walking/etc heroes that can do it. Axe is just... meh!
