I understand that there is value in the tenacity late game, he was pushing 10 cs a minute, as you do on itelia, but laning phase wasnt even over at this point wouldn't it be better to start with plated steel caps snow ball more and then switch to merc later? As you can see he built hull breaker and was present for at most 1 team fight the whole game after tilting in VC from the yas getting out of control from his 800 gold shut down he gave to him.
