How I decide
«Null serves the abilities and resources I use to play the lane.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- An early-game hero uses intelligence and its related bonuses in frequent casts.
- 02 My decision
- I compare the completed small package with extra mana, a consumable or the boots I need.
- 03 What I avoid
- Buy a second small slot when a lack of movement already determines every death.
When I would buy it
At the start or as part of the next purchase. I check whether mobility or protection matters more right now.
