ok im not expecting much balance when i queue for unranked. But we have like 2 players on each team with less than 50 hrs of gameplay, and 5 other players with at least 2k hrs gameplay. And this is a game with 8 solo players with a 2 player stack who are both experienced. Oh don't give me that wins =/= rating shit. Just wanted to clown around to relax, but this is like the literally the worse game out of my 2000 games lol. I feel like i'm in a 2000mmr game.

Playing with 3 friends. Ask for mid. Our 5th lastpicks storm. I give him mid. Check his items after some time. Dagon 1. No other item. No boots.

well at what minute did he get the dagon? because an early dagon, especially in low-mid sometimes even high skill range, can make you snowball so hard. also it gives him intelligence and damage which he both needs. also helps bursting people with a follow-up orchid. im not saying it is the best item choice, god no. but when i play with bad-ish friends i find myself very often playing a furion with dagon first (before boots). because a 7-8mins dagon combined with a global teleport ar guranteed kills everywhere. but of course if the storm didnt have good farm and got this item not that early, didnt get a use out of it and had no follow-up farm, its shit of course

That sounds hillariously impractical but also highly amusing. Imagine when you've got a maxed out bear summon plus a couple items on it. You could just walk into the enemy team invisible and then recall your bear from where you left it. Suddenly an angry wild bear just appears in the middle of the enemy team.

On a similar note couldn't forcestaff be quite amusing? Forcestaff your bear right at enemies like a bear cannon.

its funny how everybody expects doom to buy meka now, sure it can be / is strong. but only because its seen now in competetive it doesnt mean u have to everytime. same goes for OD mid since in competetive they started buying mek on him. sure u can do it but u dont fucking have to in every game. force staf finto hex/bkb without mek is still fucking fine. same goes for doom with sblade/drums/cuirass whatever without meka

Its really got me thinking actually because people tend to get Phase Boots on the bear for the bear to be able to actually get in and attack and chase because its slow. But if you as an LD get a Force Staff you can just fire your bear at them. Even better if you get more than one forcestaff on your team.

I might have to try this. >_>

Okay but mek on doom is literally a million times better than vanguard. Its exactly like viper, the hero very often needs a tank item, and always has the farm for a mek, which just so happens to be the best tank item in that price range and also very helpful to your team.

Mek on OD is pretty ass these days since people are playing OD for the mega-late game (sheep bkb shivas/refresher type late) so you start with a midas or force depending on how well the enemy can pressure your farm and go from there. OD needs like level 11 before he's even good in large-scale engagements anyway.

well you cant exactly compare it to viper since doom gets the meele block and viper only the range block. and the block was buffed in the last patch so it isnt as awful at it was. personally i still dont buy it on doom i prefer drums over meka / vangaurd into /sblade or cuirass straight

Oke but doom runs plenty fast without drums and mek is about twice as tanky as drums (actually, maybe more). Doom desperately needs armor and neither vanguard nor drums give anything that could seriously be described as armor. PS damage block sucks ass still a bad mechanic. Great for laning and exactly nothing else. If u need a vanguard to lane then you have bigger issues (like triple-digit mmr).

And I definitely can compare viper and doom because they are a lot more similar than you'd think at first blush.

doom doesn't really have spare mana for meka, your skills all take a lot of mana scorched earth, doom and 2x level death is already enough to use up all your mana. If you also have an additional skill like centaur stun or the troll net you have to be really careful with your mana if you want to use the mek.
So if you plan on ever using the mek you have to get additional mana and and mana regen or arcane boots. If you do that you are basically a durable support and your lategame is rather weak. Not something you want to do with doom in pubs, because you can't trust anyone but yourself in pubs.
Vanguard is not as terrible as people make it out to be all the time, it isn't the best item but because you need some health regen to stay longer in lane and anyway have a stout you might as well make a vanguard and try to force early fights.

Well this really isn't the thread, but yes doom has the mana for mek and yes vanguard is as bad as its made out to be, especially on a hero like doom who has a way to regen life innately. Also mek is comparable hp regen to a vanguard anyway.
