By now i have 100+ games with loki, but theres still some things id like to know.
First question is if somehow you are sometimes revealed while invisible. When escaping, i mostly walk completely unpredictable routes, but i still se the enemy exactly behind me, or a sobek hit his dash perfectly. And second is if what you think about lifesteal on loki. The build i use has decent damage but has no lifesteal and i ask myself if it would help me out to put some lifesteal in my build to survive more 1v1. My current build is Warrior Tabi Hydra's Lament The Executioner Deathbringer Malice and Jotunn's Wrath feel free to comment which item you would replace.
I like Loki as a glass canon (without lifesteal), but you could switch out hydras lament with devourer's gloves and see what you think ;)
And I would maybe switch out The Executioner with Titan's Bane, because your main damage is Vanish + aimed strike combo and the the stacks from The Executioner doesn't do much (except for your follow up basic attacks, which if you go Titan's Bane will be fewer).
When it comes to the invisibility thing it's all ppl using "the force"/being lucky. Unless you have Bees! on you. That is the only thing that reveals you (+ towers and phoenixes etc ofc). Also if you have a DOT on you it will show pretty much where you are. Other than that just jedi mind tricks :P
First question: just experienced people predicting your jukes, putting the 20% movespeed buff into the equation, and acting as nessecary. For example, when I'm Hades, I always try to have Blight on Loki, because if he Vanishes, I assume he jukes the other way, wait a bit and face the other way to give a false sense of security, then whip around and use Shroud of Darkness, fearing the Loki and stopping his Vanish.
Second question: No. Loki is a true assassin; or, meant to kill an enemy in roughtly only one second, without them being able to retaliate. I would go Warrior Tabi, Titan's Bane, Hydra's Lament, Jotunn's Wrath, Malice, Deathbringer]], in that order. So, same build, just Titan's instead of Excecutioner and a different order.
For example, when I'm Hades, I always try to have Blight on Loki, because if he Vanishes, I assume he jukes the other way, wait a bit and face the other way to give a false sense of security, then whip around and use Shroud of Darkness, fearing the Loki and stopping his Vanish.
Hades is so good vs Loki (PS not sure if you knew this, but you don't need the Blight on a Loki to get him out of Vanish the silence is enough. You don't get the fear ofc, but no more escape from the Loki). :p
As a Hades player, I apologize for having so many metachlorines. Its always a laugh for loki ganks against me though because they can ult me and I just turn, use 1->3->ult and win EVERY time.
