If they forced the enemy team to listen to his voice chat, they'd probably be annoyed enough to lose.

Fun fact about EE irl: he's addicted to cola. He can't function without a cup or a bottle of Coke nearby.

say what you want about EE but he's a proven team builder and a cert to make every valve event + ti regardless of whether his team is stacked (secret at shanghai) or filled with journeymen (c9 during the singsing era, np). in fact the only player he didn't have any success with at all was bulba, who is in many ways the inverse EE in that he won't ever win poo poo no matter how stacked his team is

Envy makes pretty good macro decisions, when to fight, when to splitpush, what item builds to go for, that kind of thing. It just so happens that the things he's bad at, positioning, positioning, remembering to buy TP scrolls, and anime, get a lot of attention.

Macro decisions are usually handled by the captain aside from item builds. If EE is left to his own decisions hed probably avoid fights until he's 7 slotted.

it's cool how he does loving nothing until the escape lmao

e: like there's not much you could do probably, but he misses a riptide, and doesn't right-click anyone, etc

Oh yeah. I was killing you.
Serious question here but what is going on with this Ember build that I'm seeing in pro streams and now pro matches. Veil, Maelstrom, Octarine.

What is the purpose of this build? What changed in 7.00 that made this the build as opposed to a normal Ember build? I'm so loving confused.

Talents increase Flame Guard's damage, double its absorbtion, and reduce the cooldown.

I guess I saw those as a good supplement to make him more magic tanky not "build Octarine." I'm just not following how those talents lead to a build that focuses that heavily on magic damage and CDs given his sleight kit. Must be something you have to experience in practice.

It might be a situational thing where the other team can't magic burst down the shield but then again 1000 absorption is a lot. And 60 (before any modifiers) dps in a 400 AoE is also a ton in a teamfight.

Battlefury was made really bad for Ember. So Maelstrom is better and his talents all lend themselves to magic and his ultimate actually does damage now.
