Had a game where the other team had lots of aoe (2 aoe silences in drow and ebola as well) and he still thought it would be a good idea to get linkens first. Fortunatly I managed to talk him out of it, but then he goes and buys a deso instead. Feels like ALOT of people have no clue when and why you buy certain items. Had that deso been a bkb and we could have won the game, but apparantly that deso is more important so he can deal more damage in the 2 hits he will get of (if lucky) before he dies. I mean, it may have been a terrible game for it but it's possibly his most core item, so...? | ||

Linkens is always a situational item, if there aren't any big spells/heroes to block, you should not get it. The value of the item is in the spellblock, if you won't use it, don't get Linkens. The regen can be solved by just getting a bottle or something, the stats are not worth a 5k item. If you just wanna tank up, I'd argue getting Aghs on Weaver is better now, it provides more utility (unless ofcourse you need the spellblock). | ||

I think thought should always go into itemization, including Linkens, even on Weaver, but pros almost always build it for a reason...I don't think anyone at Valve should be fired for putting it in the hero guide. | ||

I've seen like 90% of Weavers get it (if they are rich enough). Maybe that number should be lower, but I think you are underestimating how good that item is on Weaver. | ||

It's a 5k item with a sub 60% winrate, even Deso got higher winrate. It's not the best example, but it should be quite telling on how overbought the item actually is on Weaver, since most 5k+ items on pretty much all heroes got more then 60% winrate. | ||

Had to laugh when the Dusa cast stone gaze in a fight only to get relocate out immediately after. Needless to say we lost the game badly. I wish Valve would make separate queues for these personal challenge hunters who completely disregard the game for their own selfish gains. | ||

Like, if I didn't speak English, I would want to play on a server where people could understand me... Not only that but when I typed to this guy back in Spanish (I know enough to play Dota) he didn't even reply. | ||
