lol good luck dota matchmkaing really punishes you when you are 90% herald 5. I was legit stuck there for months kept getting paired versus smurfs and had open ai bots in team. I did get to guardian but it was not fun. Mosttly me jsut spamming my best heroes and hoping for best.

@@userxyz783 true. I face 5 smurfs every single game on the enemy team and the score is always 61 8 or something like that. It's like herald V is harder than high immortal matches.

You cant blame your rank on your team. What rank you are reflects your skill level.

players who can't adapt to random players hurt themselves so much. i've been spamming spec and if i get offlane wraith king i just build other items to kill. Orchid after blademail is really nice.

generally though it's a problem when you have two cores farming afk because one has no radiance and the other is the hard carry, so the enemy team can just 4 or 5 man snowball. just had a wk offlane game and he didn't get radiance until like 35 minutes in, only other item was vanguard i think

I had matches in turbo where wk was unkillable, agnam, refresher and his tanky build made it such that he would just revive no matter what, we had to watch as wk just pushed tower in all lane. It was horrible.

​@@GODxEnvyyeah b/c you're playing turbo lol. Nullifies most of his power spikes.

Oh and if youre behind buy armlet over midas. It accelerates farm while also actually giving you the ability to fight. around that 14 min mark is when cores typically have a farm item, so being able to man up and fight as a full 5 (if youre the 1 as wk) is game winning. Armlet lets you fight, fights get you kill/participation gold & exp (as well as space to push), said gold gets you radiance, and then youre now not only a monster pusher with skellys + radiance, you now also have armlet for bigboy damage on the towers. The hero has 0 downside. Hell, even mana burn doesnt matter with soul ring, which is also excellent early stats for laning. This hero does it all

Mostly because people arent flexible with their item builds. Ive seen many many many offlane wks go radiance well into 30 minutes because they lost lane but refuse to change their build. Also and this one is very important, BSJ still plays like a pos 3. Ive seen so many pos 3 Wks dont show up for team fights because they thinkj their job is to actually be the pos 1

Low skill? Bro I see that aghs build in most of high immortal

do people run away in ghost form in low skill?

@@seeker530and there it is good for other reasons. his point is valid.

@@TheChosenOne462 Often yes, but there is also another stat about aghs. It passively reduces respawn times for anyone who got put into ghost form by 10%.

its a very recent change

use the skelly to split push / farm instead

How do you play him

They're particularly very good for universal heroes since they give all stats. On magnus 2x wraith is good, or you can go 1 wraith/bracer + wand

The more I play this patch the more I ignore them and just go Boots Wand > big item.

I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as he is, but I feel that at least 1 Bracer is almost always a good investment for a support. Especially if your game isn't going well and you're barely getting any gold. It's pretty nice turn in terms of stats, particularly health, and since you don't have much gold it'll get better at 25. I tend to build them always in general because they're just nice stats, but I think that they make more sense in terms of smart itemization in games where you're not doing great and do need some early stats (that get boosted later) in order to stabilize yourself. If your lane went well or great, then getting 1-2 of those items delays your advantage which lessens your advantage you had, which you don't want. So I would avoid them in those games.
