Sniper - After the Shrapnel buff, you should once again consider leaving Take Aim at 2 or 3 and maxing Shrapnel by 9. Mid especially, because the short lane makes Take Aim less relevant.

They've been independent for a while, but Chain Frost wasn't.

Drow Ranger Remove Luxury Items, Replace Shadow Blade with Silver Edge (Situational), Remove Dragon Lance, Reverse Manta with Sange and Yasha, Remove Daedalus, Add Satanic to Extension Items


1) Are you only removing DLance because you're replacing it with Pike? Because the new Agi-based version is even better for Drow.
2) What triggered the Manta/S&Y swap?


1. Yes

2. Removal of the Aghs build

just wanted to say thanks torte, just signed up on patreon to do a small part to keep this thing going. it has been such a huge help so many times for me.


Wow, thank you so much man. I appreciate that and everyone here who gives their feedback/input.

Myself and everyone here is doing what they can to push this as soon as possible while 6.87 is still fresh for everyone!

I will add it, but it comes out odd for a middle Radiance build.

6.87 Planning Posts

Personal Notes
  • I might play Ranked again with this new feature
  • Scan ability is awesome and can add some crazy new surprises during matches
  • The magic damage scaling with intelligence is curious. Int hereos gearing towards late-game carry roles; pushing away traditional auto-attacking builds late-game (Lina/QoP) into pseudo-mixes.
  • 6.87 trying to push for more concrete late-game matches as well as to deter early pushes akin to TI4
  • Happy to see tier2 tower of Radiant get adjusted. It was more punishing to defend than to attack. Always felt choked with half the team visually below the ramp and the jungle area above being somewhat unsafe against some line-ups.
  • Bloodthorn is insane. I can see it useful for not just auto-attacking magic users (QOP/Lina/Storm) but maybe non-traditional carries. Cost is incredible nevertheless.
  • Echo Sabre to complement Dragon Lance. May reduce Eul's purchases for some untraditional purchases. OP on Phantom Lancer?
  • Blight Stone alternative from Orb of Venom's awkward purchases (when you aren't going for Skadi, something so late-game. Blight Stone useful for BH and roaming hitters [useful for Dazzle]
  • Infused Raindrops. I am not sure of its validity or how it would work in-game
  • Wind Lace. this looks incredible. I don't even know what to think or say!
  • Tome of Knowledge: Invoker.
  • Hurricane Pike is an upgrade to Dragon Lance? wow. Seems a bit OP also. I expect this to get nerfed very soon
  • Abyssal Blade change was needed to better distinguish it and reduce its exorbitant price. Not sure if everyone will agree on the purchase as Vanguard's purchases will still be low
  • Aether Lens nerf was needed
  • Armlet value boomed
  • BLADE MAIL IS INCREDIBLE, HOLY SHIT! Goodbye OD
  • Bloodstone also incredible. Probably to push for Magic-carry incentives
  • Desolator change is good
  • Good to see Diffusal Blade reduced
  • Dragon Lance makes more sense as an intermediary item
  • FUCK MAN, WARDS REDUCED IN COST AGAIN; FUCKING STARTING ITEMS WILL NEED EVALUATING FUCK I HATE THAT SHIT SO ANNOYING
  • Oct. Core reduction is meh
  • rod of atos not going anywhere
  • S&Y looking more fitted. Was becoming, again, a jack of all trades. Expect more nerfs
  • Silver Edge had a siuational use, but it scared people with the commitment to a stat they may not have needed. New change is great
  • Arc Warden changes are good
  • Axe going to be a popular pick, especially with blade mail and attack range buff
  • Bane's enfeedble solidified as a 1 point wonder early on
  • Bloodseeker's Aghs addition is bland, but needed
  • BH needs more nerfs
  • Brewmaster's ultimate change is interesting. Not sure if enough to bring him up in interest
  • Too bad on Chen nerf
  • Dazzle's Poison Touch should be re-maxed first and medallion a first purchase (guide orientation)
  • Death Prophet nerfed expected
  • Drow Ranger getting buffed is almost tradition
  • Earth Spirit not getting more nerfs?
  • Blink Dagger no longer needed for Earth Shaker. Force Staff still useful. The change is good because Blink Dagger on an earthshaker who needs levels, awkward roams and can't do anything in lane made playing ES comfortable to start with, but getting your one core item was either very easy or incredibly difficult. (edit: corrected)
  • Elder Titan, was hoping for so much more ):
  • That Enchantress nerf; my god. Brutal.
  • Faceless Void's Time Lock change should help clear up any view that he is still a carry. Attack speed now negligble
  • Gyro; not sure how to interpret aghanim's. Damage nerf is strong
  • Huskar needs more, especially for his first and ultimate ability.
  • Invoker's Cold Snap dispellable is great. Too bad Ice Wall didn't change in any regard. Tornado requiring more skill
  • Jakiro is at a good point, his ult was lackluster with how team-fight dynamics were, but this is good
  • YES JUGGERNAUT AUOT-FOLLOW!
  • Kunkka's skillbuild more clear-cut, right?
  • Lich super OP
  • Lol at Lifestealer, fine
  • Mirana's Agahnim's could give birth to a different style instead of her trying to compete as a right-clicker late-game
  • Necrophos ult is still great!
  • Oracle aghanim's is core
  • OD reversed. Interesting to see how he'll be built now
  • Phantom Assassin Dagger could be interesting given her current build order. Especially with the new items
  • Phoenix Aghanim's is meh. Doesn't really do much when you get it so late that regular auto-attacks still kill it comfortably. Positioning can make/break your ult pretty much regardless
  • Sand KingSand Storm change means what?
  • Scepter on Shadow Fiend is interesting... Not sure how I feel about it
  • Last Word doesn't slow? why? Pumping everything into Arcane Curse...
  • Skywrath Mage is insane. I don't even understand it.
  • Spectre still a great late-game carry
  • Storm Spirit's Aghanim's is Core
  • Was hoping for more for Terrorblade
  • Tusk's Aghanim's Kick may need more of an effect to be worthwhile, especially how starved Tusk is played
  • Viper's Poison Attack has no orb effect? okay
  • Aghanim's on Winter Wyvern is core
  • Wraith King jungling should be an annoyance
  • Zeus' Static Field no longer disabling Blink Dagger is a blessing!
  • Lich to sacrifice Ranged creeps instead of melee
  • Arc Warden, to remove Divine Rapier
  • Earthshaker still needs Blink
  • Enchantress gets Pike

Hey torte. The lich build have mekansm, but I couldn't buy it because the dark seer on my team bought it. So I thought to buy veil because of the cheap components. And can you add one more late game item for when you have so much gold, since there are 3 cheap items (force, aether, glimmer).

It feels like Icefrog wants Faceless Void to go back to the carry role, but not the old DPS item builds.

Echo Sabre may be useful as a situational item if he has a secondary proc effect along with bash. MoM/Maelstrom/Shadow Blade (Silver Edge is way more attractive now) -> Echo Sabre maybe?

Infused Raindrops feels promising for the offlane.

I have to test Faceless Void, but Echo Sabre works well with Lifestealer

For Bounty Hunter, he is actually completely full in itemization. Any more and the items start getting cut off. So I have to be careful about what I can put on otherwise you can't see the build.
