But in The Defense finals game 1, Navi skipped shadow word completely and went fatal 2 max upheaval. Warlock was laning with the AM. Obviously it's a better team fight build, but not so great for laning. The casters mentioned that skipping shadow word is a popular among modern warlock builds. Can someone discuss this? | ||

Can someone discuss this? Note the recent Itsgosu match where warlock got banned as well. I suggested fatal / upheavel focused build a while back to some of the players, seems like other teams are starting to figure it out as well. Warlock's fatal bonds was considered IMBA at 20% / 5 targets, now it's 20% / 6 targets when maxed (and 20% all levels is really good). I think his main weakness comes from the extremely high cd of his ult : 165. This means it's not up every teamfight, I tend to notice I need another minute whenever there's consecutive teamfights. If he's not built around his ult, however, the other skills are amazing in big clashes. | ||

I disagree on your best beginner build for invoker though, if you're a real noob, you should use exort quas. It's pure right-click carrying. You pretty much max exort with quas in between, getting invoke on lvl 3 (for coldsnap) and again when you have 4 exort and 2 quas for Elementals. You never have to use invoke again, you simply keep elementals up all the time and use cold snap for ganking. Obviously not worth using in high level games, but it's ridiculously effective on low levels and extremely easy to play. Find enemy, cold snap, rightclick, win. Start with blades of attack+tango, then go for phase boots and wand immediately, then farm mid like crazy for assault cuirass, then your core is done and you'll be owning. Not only is it extremely strong for ganking, you can also push towers solo really easily. | ||
