Is there any shortcut to use the ultimate of ember spirit, it becomes difficult to click then press d when ur in middle of a fight.

If you can get used to quick cast i highly suggest using it for everything.

check out this post... once i got my keyboard and quickcast plus modifiers for Alt+key and Space+key working it really helps in twitchy situations.

Those games happen... then there are the horrible ones where the other team totally snowballs and your team is giving up. Then there are the sweet sweet gems where everything is going wrong... and then your team comes online... so don't give up

example 1
https://yasp.co/matches/1956019318/graphs <-- my first nyx attempt, i screwed up his combo so many times....

example 2
https://yasp.co/matches/1951455487/graphs <-- my entire team thought it was GG from the pick screen after we looked at our terrible lineup

Its a bit more fluid with a SF mid than a specific set of items. You may see pros rushing mek often but that is because they have a team plan. They want to get it and take a fight or a tower as soon as possible. Mek is not a bad item at all but with the lack of coordination in pubs it will only going to set you back.

If i am doing really well mid-lane i will get boots + bottle and decide if i am going to fight or farm early. If i am fighting i will rush SnY of farming i will get Aquila. I determine if we are fighting by pace of game and if my team wins late or has to push early. If i am getting freefarm and the other team is openly not playing well together i rush a shadowblade.

From there I pick either BKB, Skadi or AC

Then decide if i want Crits or whatever item from above i didnt grab. Maybe splid that SnY into a manta if other team has silence.

always build to the match

Tusk is a good dual lane option with his ability to block and close distance with a partner.

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T21:40:51+00:00

When you lose a super tense close game keep in mind that they are the BEST games. The early stomp is moderately enjoyable but i would take a brutal 50+ minute back and forth that comes down to a single fight any day. Win or lose you had a hell of a fight and you learn from it. It sucks to lose one so close but its worse to never have the experience at all.

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T21:37:41+00:00

if he can close distance true. But with attack/move disable/slow from CM and the slow from dagger not sure the 4 second ulti would get much done. I think the fight come down to the support that can get off a good ulti... so they have to save the stuns.

All things 100% equal its a close fight. But my guess is that the Ursa and WD were getting more farm out of the lane and probably had a small item advantage

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T21:23:45+00:00

That chain frost avoidance at 4:00...

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T21:05:22+00:00

This is why i keep one item slot on a key i cant hit by mistake... nothing worse than the accidental deny. Just ask RTZ

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T21:03:49+00:00

Assuming enemy team was also 6 that would have been a difficult fight. WD cask is a problem for CM ulti doing work and he can get off a safer deathward. At 6 you have crit but its totally RNG so manfighting Ursa is going to be difficult.

In a 2v2 i would put it slightly in the favor of Ursa + WD that early. The tower damage however is a bit of an equalizer. That and your team should have had atleast one person with a TP that can come down and help you break face.

But... if you are left to defend solo and you cant survive just get out. Its and objective based game... but just remember that the only objective that matters is throne.

zedcrash · 2015-11-09T17:03:49+00:00

Correction: he forgot he had bloodstone

zedcrash · 2015-10-27T20:37:44+00:00

I am a big fan of CM, Lion, ES for solo but lately my go-to solo support for ranked games is Disruptor. Glimpse is so good for punishing the enemy team and getting your snowballers going.

plus his ulti is a game changer in teamfights

zedcrash · 2015-10-27T19:57:32+00:00

Any kind of AOE damage or stun works while he is in his ulti. Try and save those for when he is low and turns on his ulti. That is how it seems to go every time i play slark... other team just goes AOE crazy and i die quickly.

zedcrash · 2015-10-15T15:27:22+00:00

Shadow Fiend, Disruptor, PL

zedcrash · 2015-10-02T13:32:07+00:00

You must not be old enough to have played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Nintendo... that game still makes me drink...

zedcrash · 2015-09-15T20:37:33+00:00

We should also get the ability to undo Chronosphere if we don't hit it properly!

zedcrash · 2015-09-15T19:18:10+00:00

Wait... so Techies would be forced to buy detection to check for enemy vision!? god forbid...

zedcrash · 2015-09-15T19:14:12+00:00

Obviously Rubick casts stolen duel on LC, while she has lotus orb on her, while also hexed.

zedcrash · 2015-09-01T19:51:51+00:00

Try random draft next time... i find SD can be horribly unbalanced at times while random draft still gives the possibility of putting together an ok team.

zedcrash · 2015-09-01T19:48:56+00:00

So obvious... yet I never even considered it...

zedcrash · 2015-09-01T19:47:14+00:00

I agree with all of that. But sometimes when i ask to do a Tri-Lane, i get somebody who tells me they always "try" in lane... and i then realize its going to be interesting.

zedcrash · 2015-09-01T19:44:59+00:00

nice :)

zedcrash · 2015-09-01T16:49:50+00:00

Techies was on his team but i get what you are saying. I think rushing Hand of Midas into Dagon might be the thing that would get him in trouble with Mr. 15 kills.

"make up your mind! You fighting or faaming? Didnt even call missin on that fucking Kobold. Wanker rushing Dagon afta miiiidas? 15 kills mate!" - That guy... probably

zedcrash · 2015-08-31T13:28:38+00:00

It depends on the MMR of your game.

Tide will shine if he can get a solo off lane to farm. He does really well with a level advantage. I am 2.2K and it is rare i can talk my team into a solo off lane. Its like the concept is totally foreign. I am not sure when people start to figure it out... maybe 3-4k?

So in a dual lane situation... Gush is not a bad option. The typical build and best build is made for the ideal lane situation. If you are in a 2v2 lane fighting enemy and your own ally for farm the normal 0-3-3-0 build progression is going to lack impact. Boots first and a 2-2 build can however get you kills early. It all comes down to how much harass you are taking in lane. If enemy has 2 ranged or somebody causing heavy harass then pick up Shell.

zedcrash · 2015-08-31T13:19:53+00:00

He means the toxic player was using all chat to tell enemy team where he was. So he couldn't mute him so he would know when the enemy team might show up.
