How I decide
«I apply the early orb's anti-heal to a target that is recovering.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The opponent wants to leave after a trade and quickly recover health.
- 02 My decision
- I maintain the slow and recovery reduction by attacking this target.
- 03 What I avoid
- Buy an early answer to regeneration and attack only creeps throughout the trade.
When I would buy it
Early, when this is what helps win a lane trade.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
Builds into
Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
