General Discussionorchid on slark to counter OD fuckers?

oups sorry i meant to write od pickers but auto correction yknow..

mb its ok for offlane slark, but for carry slark its too much of a commitment imo. like, this item becomes useless pretty fast, and u risk ruining the game by being useless 5 mean after u got orchid.

i thought about something like treads aquila, orchid, sny, bkb, basically to gank od with orchid 24/7 before he can farm bkb

too squishy/cant initiate/cant escape
idk, it might work under a lot of assumptions (like, enemy team should have no initiators, ur one should posess at least 1 huge disable and a rightclicking mid, etc.), but overall this idea seems not very valid.

or u can do offlane slark with this build, actually.

sorry, i also meant to add blink.. treads aquila, blink orchid, sny ... i cant find a scenario where that build wouldnt work, apart form slark getting rekt in the safelane/enemys 5 manning rly early

yea but offlane slark is gay, and u wont get enough farm to secure an early orchid

basher into abyssal would probably accomplish much of the same thing and be a million times better vs everyone else. You could probably go s&y, basher, abyssal.

Oh man these od fuckers. od fuckers

I feel like the item falls off fast on Slark, it's so weird, i'd never make it on him. What sange and yasha does for him is probably the most out of ANY item in the game. Maybe basher can help contain him better, then Abyssl blade for sure, I dunno, OD is such a bitch.

well orchid is actually a very good farming item cus of the mana regen plus attack speed and dmg, you can run around spamming dark pact to farm, but mana cost on it is already low so maybe it doesn't matter. The problem is you are a huge glass cannon with just orchid.

i never win with a slark building orchid just to "silence" the enemy team , just do not. its your other team roles that do it , just build something else, u want ur slark to be no damage and no initiation and no tankiness early? nice tactic m8 ez -25 mmr when i see my slark farm orchid for enemy puck

Bad idea. Good Od players will get bkb anyway

^flawless logic ty for contributing

i just pick omni vs od and repel my teamgays

Sounds shitty and no its not good for farming. Treads roa, maybe drums and you can dark pact everything always no need for mana regen, mana pool is better on slark especially if you build shadowblade and that comes with the standard stats item you usually get on slark

orchid gives mana & mana regen too

But you don't need it? When do you need all that stuff, its still alot of money on a carry to counter 1 enemy for a few seconds it's only good on slark those few seconds where you fight OD.

well yeah, thats what the item is supposed to be for; to gank (od)

OD just euls himself and blink away.

get orchid rapier eblade dagon rapier rapier bkb rapier ez win

Better put this money into Abyssal Blade than buying this shit

phantom cyrillic riki asshole build > every build

Uh yes it is good for farming, it's still equivalent to a s&y for dmg. S&y is better cus move speed for farming, but orchid has equal dmg, attack speed and mana regen, which you may or may not need. It's not like rushing a heart or some shit item that does nothing for dps, it has a lot of dps.

No hp in Teamfight bad

Have you tried eblade and dagon on slark? its pretty strong
