EPTPicking first can be good if you can get something like Shukuchi, Riki invis, Take Aim or Drunken Brawler.
Being somewhere in the middle is the worst because likely you get neither an OP skill nor a combo.

Agreed although lots of idiots go for a combo skill in first pick and let the busted stuff like shukuchi pass to picks 5-6. E: oops thats an old post lel | ||

Just swapped hook for shukuchi, and you basically get free kills whenever you want from lvl 2. Also diabolic edict + bounty invis is amazing fun until the other team starts warding/dusting everywhere, but if nothing else it forces them to waste a lot of cash | ||

When you finally draft your dream lineup of skills. And you're praying throughout the whole draft that nobody takes your desired moves. It's the build you've been talking about since this mode was introduced. Will it really be as good as you've imagined? You managed to randomly get the last hit on a couple of heroes early game, and you cackle with glee as you reach level 6. "Two kills and I haven't even used my epic combo", you say. The other heroes are hanging back now, they can see how skillful you are, they're too afraid to even try and last hit. "Stay back as long as you want", you sneer, "soon enough you won't be able to hide from me". But then all of a sudden, the enemy team starts saying "gg". It's not possible, you're dominating your lane but surely other people will want to throw their might against yours. And that's when you look at your team and see a lesh with take aim, enchant totem, and jinada. He's 10-0 and the other team is just turtling in their base. And you know you'll never get a chance at those skills again. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NLudaNI.png) 29-0-5 shukuchi (weaver) lucent beam (luna) bloodbath culling blade (axe) laned against a tinker built like a tinker (same spell) middle, pwnt him in lane so hard. Ganked sidelane easily with 522 movement speed, lucent beam nuke and culling blade. Snowball with agh. So what if they have essence shift luna, doesn't matter at all haha big idea: 1) get movement / manuverability (i.e. shukuchi) 2) get a spell that's brutal if you can get close (i.e. culling blade) | ||

Juxtopox essence shift Phantom edge for ulti Sadly, the essence shift didnt work for split shot but my god.....each split shot attack can procs Juxtopox. Each clone will also have split shot. Therefore, just attack once and you have 1-5 clones if 5 enemy are near by. You though dusa with manta was bad? Try cancer dusa!! It also very easy to draft these abilities too. I think you pretty much have to first pick split shot and if you get lucky and get Juxtopox then your pretty much guaranteed Phantom edge since no one will pick phantom edge for obvious reason. | ||

Anytime I take Juxtapose, someone always takes Phantom Edge from me, 3/3 times. Why, no idea. Maybe think ult passive is OP, or just deliberately denying it. | ||
