What the item does
01
Passive: Loaded
Increases your base damage maximum by 6. When calculating your base damage or creep bounty from last hits, the value is computed 2 times and the highest value is taken.
How I decide
«Loaded changes the calculation; it does not turn every result into the maximum.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Changes to base attack damage and creep bounties are useful for this hero.
- 02 My decision
- I compare the effect over a series of last hits and attacks while keeping the correct timing for each hit.
- 03 What I avoid
- Expect maximum damage and the maximum reward from every single event.
