maybe not the average carry, but i have heard whispers of the elusive bkb-purchasing carry

that's why you build techies as a tank and initiate with suicide, pop tazer and bkb, drop mines and sprint away faster than they can catch you. the more heroes you can jump on the better. unbelievably annoying and therefore good. amen

I don't think it's pay to win, but it's definitely pay to something.

Pay to metastasize?

Aghs on Techies is very funny if you have the correct read that the enemy carry will not purchase a bkb (aka they are bad because they're playing against me, who is bad)

Defiant Shell is a new item that is gonna be hilarious on crit-heroes like PA and Sven:

Defiant Shell
New Tier 3 Neutral item
Provides +7 All Attributes and +5 Armor
Passive: Reciprocity When attacked, the hero counter-attacks a target within their attack range. Cooldown: 5s

I just grabbed this with the Omniknight Shard that makes him auto cast Hammer of Purity, really funny seeing people attack me and I just immediately dope smack them for a ton of damage haha. Still don't think the hero will ever be the semi frontliner Paladin type I want him to be, though

That’s right but you still gotta break his shield. His missile range nerf is also very noticeable.

I don't understand what Muerta's scepter is supposed to do. You just shoot an enemy and you have 4 seconds to kill them for free with 50% damage reduction? So basically it's a Beastmaster roar you spend 4.2k gold on?

The muerta thing works on allies too so it’s potentially a very powerful save in the right circumstance

One of the least obvious aghs they’ve done lately, but I think it’ll mostly be used to kill targets during her ult so they can’t use any mobility or save. She won’t care about the 50% dmg reduction because her dmg is so insane by the time she’d be buying this item

Sanity’s Eclipse damage is factored by mana difference, and ogre’s mana pool scales on strength now so it’s not a biggie.

I wonder, do silencer’s glyphs temporarily steal anything from ogre? I guess not.

That +75 Auto Attack Range sounded pretty crazy when I scrolled past it last night. I feel like that's one of those things that's going to get overlooked for a while.

I have no idea what I think of the new Shard though, the old one was good but now not worth 4200g

I need to get a game in with my best boy Primal Beast; his ulti piercing Magic Debuff Immunity right out of the gate sounds fantastic. Instead of having to wait until level 2-loving-5 for it.

It only tells your team who gets a shard. If everyone has a shard, there’s no notification.
