On lanes, having to get Arcanes isn't as bad, and it's even sustainable to not get Arcanes if you get a Bottle.

Support, core, doesn't matter. The big draw of Midas on Warlock is that it evens out your XP/gold distribution. There's really not a point to getting Agha before level 11 because rank 1 Agha Golems kind of suck (well, "suck" in that they're not really a major upgrade over the regular rank 1 Golem because the individual Golems get weak enough to be killable when they're only rank 1). Midas delays your Agha, but speeds up your level 11 so you end up meeting somewhere in the middle where you have Agha slower, but Agha+level 11 faster. If you get some game where you get a bunch of early fights where you get no kills and a bunch of assists, then it's possible for your gold/XP to be split in a way where you don't want Midas, but in a normal game, things will work out where the Midas makes things better for you. | ||

Warlock - Midas i don't think mekansm on either lane or jungle doom works anymore. doom is super mana starved even without having to worry about mek and with mek you are forced to get arcane boots which is super awkward on doom cuz then you're left with no armor | ||

Ulti doesn't scale well enough to outweigh Stomp rank 2, especially since Stomp Rank 2 guarantees the combo against heroes without instant escapes. You get ulti rank 2 after that at 12 usually, but 2-4-4-1 at 11 is usually better than 1-4-4-2. | ||

Every time I didn't get a hero I wanted to practice on, I ended up getting a hero I noticed had a seemingly old build. So this spiraled into a bunch of updates and changes as I proceeded to lose lol | ||

The philosophy seems to be that since you're going to die if you get caught no matter what, you should try and output as much damage as possible before dying | ||

Your "ganker" doom has no boots Have you ever considered doing separate guides for QE and QW voker? If there's ever a hero that could use two, it's voker. | ||

If there's ever a hero that could use two, it's voker. Yes, but it is not a hero I am very comfortable with. Perhaps my least comfortable hero, so I don't think it is right of me to make guides regarding him besides the initial standard. Fixed Doom | ||

Perhaps my least comfortable hero, so I don't think it is right of me to make guides regarding him besides the initial standard. Fixed Doom Well, there really are two standard builds for him. There's little variances like when what point of whatever is taken, but mostly its dual forge spirit build (QE) and tornado emp build (QW). Forge spirit build tends to be more farm+push-oriented, QW is more about teamfight presence, ganking, and counterpush. You can literally get by casting 3 spells in most games (forge spirits, cold snap... and i guess ghost walk if you're not as lazy as me. attempting sun strikes is extra credit). QW tornado/emp, old snap and if you're feeling flashy deafening blast. It's really impossible to put them both in one guide, you would probably have to break your "mid/lane/jungle" rule because both types of invokers need mid badly but if they get the wrong items they're fairly useless. There's one more common build, the pubstompy eul's sunstrike blast meteor combo, I don't think a guide is needed for that though. | ||

I agree that most pros just run MoM, but I think the other build is just as accepted in pub games. On February 09 2015 13:39 Buckyman wrote: Shouldn't you just cut Manta completely then? I think the main reason it was there to begin with was the mid-game Yasha. I am testing him the next two days, so I will let you know, typically; I believe it is still okay to get Manta no? Winter Wyvern coming, so I will be preparing a guide for him He's new for me admittedly, so I have a long way to go. | ||
