Every hero in the game needs boots. You just don't *upgrade* your boots into
rly everyone who takes a mom or euls without boots is clumsy, cause u buy these items to get MORE ms then the other one, not to have the same ms.
500 gold for 50 ms is like a heart for 2500gold. and i bet everyone will get a heart for 2500...like everyone take boots
First game with this build? Not too shabby.
Game #518404618.
Didn't get Eul's till late and to be honest, I've never (I know!) used it before. NICE! The fact that the speed boost comes with Eul's and it has the cyclone to boot was awesome. Really did turn the game around for us. As well as great communication and people willing to play as a team. :)
Thanks for the build!
I don't check this guide that often anymore so I'm kinda late :D
How are you supposed to gank?
As a support hero, you support ganks, you don't initiate as omniknight.
When the mid player or bot players start the fight, you are in the area to drop a surprising heal or repel. Communication is key.
How are you gonna chase down enemies?
If you are able to intercept an enemy that is trying to flee you can drop his speed
close to that of yours making your degen aura usefull for just enough time for a carry to finish it off.
As for getting chased by a ranged/melee hero means that you're doing a bad job as a support. You shouldnt be at the front lines of the fight or be standing around all by yourself. Also omniknight is difficult to kill. DPS gets dropped by degen aura (if you're running away), you got a soul ring so enough heals and repel to negate cc.
Yes boots are a necessity, but not if you understand your role and positioning.
If you feel like you need them, buy them. Just remember that the 500 gold will get you your mek and eul's faster. This gets your team more support earlier in the game and you will get you the speed plus a cc midgame.
Hope I've cleared some stuff up, feel free to ask more questions.
Boots are a necessity. How are you gonna chase down enemies and slow them with Degen Aura? And Degen Aura has a range of only 200, so ranged heroes can still chase you well, as well as most melee heroes with any type of slow or stun.
