General Discussionwhy do slarks go echo sabre first?

cheaper, accessible from sideshop (i think) and no need for movement around the map yet

Because you are much stronger with it than with only SB/dagger and if you fail your 1st initiation that gets you killed you are pretty much screwed and got nothing to fall back to...

Also you may go S&Y instead of it, cause buffs., heard some do that..

Sny is still trash.
You go echo first if ur already rlly ahead i believe, and have initiation and/or dont need initiation.

This is rlly rlly rare tho, almost 95% of the time u will go sb first, maybe more.

its pretty dumb imo, idk what theyre fucking thinking

Ive seen it before in a pro match i think it was notail against sven and he went echo blink butter abyssal or something

pseudo-midas lets u farm faster(especially big jungle creeps which gives a lot of exp) and get maxed essence shift faster so u will have lvl 4 essence when u get ur sb and ur really strong then

Ywn giving advice PogChamp

if youre planning on delaying sb for a farm boost why wouldnt you just get midas? pretty sure sb first is the way to go, or if you want go midas first and get sb 4 mins later.

im not sure you can get like 700 gpm at that point of the game tho

cos ur stronger with echo + sb than midas + sb.

^true but in most of our pleb games you only need the sb to get a kill on some squishy enemy. I'm fairly certain this is something that only applies to super high skill games, and the rest of us would be better of with sb and raindrops.

ywn that advice was precious
it rly is that point having lvlv 4 esseence and sb very early is win game

Even in pro games slark go sb 1st. I think they just see baumi vid and copy his stupid build

nobody respects baumi except subnormals

Notail build blink echo abysal and butter is too good

When i see baumi games vomit enters the back of my throat as i see his tree support standing in lane just denying the creeps. Omfg how can u be that braindead. Its just fucking painful. He is like "oh mmr is just a number, thats why i dont play ranked" obv true cuz he plays like a 1k fucking scrub. Somehow he just plays against opponents more sped than him.

i dislike baumi too haha, but isnt he like 5k or so

No baumi goes fast blink on slark before echo and shit. At least that was the game i saw, it was kind of triggering. Obv echo is a gr8 item but ORDER matters.

Ya know manta is a great item so i shud rush it on jugg then buy aquila then brown boots.
