Yeah that kka lane guide is really weird. Your skill build is for hard support but you're buying carry items.

To me, lane kka is either a support or a pubby offlane core in a dual lane. If you want the 4041 support you should be building blink greaves etc and redo the text to make it clear he's a support that focuses on long-range initiation.

If you want him to build carry stuff I think you should max tidebringer. In newbie pubs where lanes are static to 7+ and people are bad at dodging the harass really stacks up. Ideally you send him offlane if you're doing this.

Technically the correct safelane core play would be to go x-0-x and hold the spare points, and then dump them into tidebringer when you start shoving lane to rotate jungle. That's not really applicable for the guides though.

Was going to type out a post about the weird disconnect between support Kunkka skills and carry Kunkka items, but Belisarius already said everything I was going to mention.

I don't think kunkka mid is a mango hero since he's a bottle hero i'm pretty sure like every other mid hero.
dunno about lane i'm a mango non-believer on most heroes tbh .

Mid shouldn't get a Mango regardless because if you can afford to spend 125 gold on something that's not stats/stout/tango/salve, then that 125 gold should just be banked for a faster Bottle which gives you the things that the Mango is for anyway.

Level 2 ult is situationally quite skippable. 100 dmg is nice true but the cd reduction is quite irrelevant and the mana cost increase is non-negligible. Plus depending on your build i'd rather be 2-4-4-1 at 11 than taking a point out of x or tidebringer (tidebringer 4 is a notable value point).

I think 4-4-1-2 is just the build for core Kunkka in this version because at this point your first item is pretty much always going to be an engagement item. The times where you need extra X range on TOP of that are situational.

4-0-4-1 is for support Kunkka, I thought that was clear from the discussion before.

Yeah maybe there's some new trend I'm missing but lv1 Q is absurdly strong on gyro. Skipping it seems the exception rather than the norm.

Mid kunkka's fine, yeah.

Why are you removing aghs on Rubick? It's not for every game but it's very strong, and there haven't really been any changes that make it less so aside from Rubick himself being a rare-ish pick.

Doom looks fine. He's a bit of a tough hero because you can pretty much close your eyes, pick an item at random and do just fine, so his optimal build is really fluid. I would maybe say Midas to situational and add sny back into extension, but whatever really. It's doom.

Didn't want to create conflict with the other items in extension items that make more valid sense in typical games.

Could add S&Y, but it was met with pushback

I still fundamentally disagree with your guides skimping on regen in most cases where you start with less than Tango+Salve, but I won't belabor that point again.

That's a jungle guide, so just tango is fine imo. The lane one has tango salve.

Actually lane doom is a mango candidate if ever I saw one.

How so?

my go to build for offlane doom is stout + tangoes + 2 mangoes

the current cost of w is so nice that being able to pop an mango and pop it anytime feels super nice

and in terms of math, being at less than full hp for 7 minutes and 40 seconds gets as much regen from a mango as a full set of tangoes, so as long as you dont take a bunch of unfavorable trades and blow your mangoes quickly, it's often more cost efficient to have them over clarities/tangoes/salves. also if you end up not needing the mana for some reason (going arcanes mek...?) you can sell it back to the shop and if youve held it for over 7m40s of being less than topped off, it's healed you as much as a set of tangoes for half the gold

ofc you still need actual tangoes, which kinda go well together with passively holding mangoes because it's easier to keep yourself in safe range without eating as many tangoes as well, given your passive 2 hp/s from 2 mangoes

nyx and ogre offlane (whether or not ogre offlane is legit at all is another issue) both feel really nice to stack mangoes on as well. in many cases, if the enemy safelaners cant 100-0 you, you just can't die in laning phase and you can soak up literally all the exp

I'd only consider the 2nd Mango on Doom out of those because the benefit of Salve is that it's fast. There are situations where you want to just take a trade that gets you low because it's better for you (e.g. they engage super aggressively through creeps and you can just fight them back). Being able to fall back on a Salve makes it much easier to leverage the advantage from those trades. Doom's the exception because he has a bullshit self-healing ability that complements all the other sources of healing anyway, whereas if you don't have a Salve, trades that *should* be favorable can end up being bad just because of how long you have to passively wait for Tango regen.

Even with scorched earth I think doom still wants salve+tango. I like salve tango stout mango

You're factoring scorched earth regen into your trades and dives, so it's pretty normal to finish an altercation on low HP with scorched earth on cooldown. That means you're low for 40+ seconds unless you have a salve as well.

Torte, doom is a mango candidate because he's a hero who can burn mana to trade very aggressively in lane, but who is also a physical bully who doesn't like being passive for clarity duration. Burst mana is very valuable to him and can get a lot of kills. The regen is obviously useful to him as well.
