Even at high levels for a while people were going mom + lothars out of the jungle for a while. | ||

For the lifestealer guide, if you don't like it, promote the Lane version because I offer both options and clearly one of them is significantly more popular. On that note, I am not impervious to a change of policies. I changed the Jungle Legion Commander guide to the Lane Version because it no longer worked at all. That said, if you disagree with my choices and attitude, feel free to make your own guides as there isn't exactly much competition unfortunately. | ||

If you're experienced enough to recognize a situation where you don't need a BKB then you likely don't need the guide in the first place. Sometimes I forget these guides are for people who have only played the hero like 1-2 Times  | ||

The superior strength of non-Fury max builds is mostly based on Fury-max not getting as many kills when your opponents are actually reasonable. Trench-tier games allow you to use Phase+Blade Fury to get a kill on a complacent offlaner like 90% of the time, even when the support doesn't contribute a strong disable. cool, got it.

If you put it in situational, we all know pubs will decide that every situation is that situation. phase yasha/mael manta seems so much more idiot-proof. Blink is a different story, I would put it in extension. I think the aghs core is pretty outdated. Phase->drums->aghs is actually not very good these days considering how much extra omni damage he gets from just stacking AS. I would just stick aghs in situational/extension. I think the drums was to bolster his attack speed and survivability to start farming jungle and get aghs | ||

It sounds like Jugg's starting and early game items have changed. | ||

But all the alternatives to MoM are kinda mediocre as well, which is where the appeal of the MoM build is from. But again, I'm not sure I feel it's worth it if you can reliably get solo kills with Phase + max Blade Fury at level 7-9 because in low-level games that usually lets you snowball enough that it's not a big deal. You kind of just get Drums to maintain your tempo after that, but if you didn't get a good tempo in the first place, Drums feel like ass. | ||

Pretty accurate, though I dont think its really common to get solo kills with phase + blade fury in levels 7-9...though I guess in the trench anything is possible. | ||

It's not that unnusual for people to underestimate how quickly you can clear a wave and then towerdive with omni. Bladefury helps a lot, either in nuking the wave or chasing afterwards with phase. Jug obviously has a potential solokill whenever his ult is up, and bladefury can be pretty important in enabling those. Idk jug just feels kind of awkward for these guides right now. The most optimal build may very well be MoM+stats, but I'm just not sure that's a good cookie-cutter no matter how powerful it is. Unfortunately, MoM really only makes sense if you get stats and vice-versa, so you can't really do a halfway build, and the utility from bladefury and ward is just so high in the trench. I still think it's safer to put a phase>yasha/mael>manta core with 4-1-1-1, and not list MoM at all. If you do list MoM I think you need to go all-out and do stats into 1-0-4-1. | ||

that particular build is definitely 1-1-1-1 at 7 but i'm not like 100% certain where u go from there. + Show Spoiler + my current theory is 1-1-1-1 at 7, 1-4-1-2 at 11, 1-4-4-3 at 16 and level spin at 23/4/5 There are definitely situations where u level spin somewhat sooner though since u can use it to hit buildings and then u want the cd as low as possible even though at level 1 it still lines up with each creep wave Kinda irrelevant tho since nobody seems to think that the build is noob-friendly enough. | ||

Idk maybe it is noob friendly enough. Maybe we force TDL to grind MoM jug games for a while and see if he thinks it's reliable enough. If this does become a MoM guide the whole thing needs to be rewritten. It's a fundamental change to how the hero plays. | ||
