@Reaux, this professor proxy article pretty much explains this exactly. In general, you want a balance of health and protections, not just one. Before an opponent gets penetration, defense is better (hence why grabbing an early or is really powerful). Once an enemy has penetration, you want a balance to be the most effective. 10 defense isn't really enough to make a large difference, but the reason is strong is because of its passive generating a massive amount of passive health. is much better for surviving burst damage while lets you sustain for extended periods of time. I was also doing it for the MP5 since I didn't build that much mana in this build.

The combination of protections and HP boost you effective health better. I noticed this the most in Dota (as there you have less Hp and armor stacked on 1 item). after getting x amount hp or x amount protections the other is better to boost your sustain.

The reason she didn't get was because in a 1v1 situation I can just counterbuild it with . If I had gotten my actives before hers then she would have been able to do it since she would already know what actives I was locked into (like how since I knew she had gotten sprint, I opted for instead of picking up myself).

Thank you very much Zilby. Especially since you had to go out of your way to search for the guide. Ill look this up asap.

Cake and Reau, I'll ask both of you.

Is it better to receive, from hunters, 800 crits or 300 crits ?

I hope that answers your questions

So then isnt such a bad item like people often make it out to be.
And ill take 300 crit plz

I guess I'm still best at counterbuilding larger ideas (full teams) rather than individuals. I would have thought Gem would be effective to slow her down a bit, and would think would be able to burst down faster than it would take to get more than 2 heals off. Shows what I know =P

If it tells you anything, I still haven't played even once. lol.

Umm... Is the answer Tuesday?

Nah yeah I guess that makes sense. Me and reaux were probably just overthinking things.

Z...wow, there's that much counter-building going on there? But still...I understand Warlock's Sash for the straight up health, and I understand for the protection...but even though you were , I don't know if I would have gotten ...for a lifesteal item, I think or might have served better. I mean, we're talking not even 200 health every heal, so it's not really blocking that much for you...

Poly for the basic attack after ability use or Talon for the higher power since has her own heal and will do more as the boxing matches sounded like they went on for a while...I think I would just go to try to out-damage . Slow her down with , get penetration way earlier.

, Warlock's Sash (probably switch those like you did), , , , ? I don't know, that sounds sort of weird too...

Not like I would've beaten you though, even with a great build. lol

*shrug*

Generally power isn't as much of an issue in a 1v1, especially against a . Remember that I can dodge 's main damaging ability every other time (with their respective cooldowns) and my abilities' passive movement speed allows me to evade her ultimate (I think she hit it once the whole game). The reason she got was solely for the counter-healing, not for the lifesteal/power, so swapping it for either of those items mentioned wouldn't have done a whole lot (in general lifesteal isn't really all that great for a 1v1 outside of hunters and some gods like , especially with her healing from her 1). If she went straight power I could just evade and burst her down even more quickly (also isn't really all that effective on at least considering her 1 damaging ability already has a slow :P). The best option for her would be to pressure me with her basic attacks and try to force me to back, and then quickly burst down my phoenix before I can return. This either forces me to try to fight when I'm at a disadvantage or lose my phoenix (she did this somewhat effectively, at one point she did down my phoenix). Again though, grabbing sprint and allowing me to get was her undoing.
