Some Invoker questions

I don't play Invoker very much at all, but I have two questions, hope they aren't too stupid :p

1. You can go quas-exort and quas-wex, is going exort-wex ever a possibility? (one in quas just for access to the skills like cold snap and tornado.)

2. Why don't people get a bottle with him? I mean against someone like queen of pain or puck its understandable as you'll never get any runes and bottle crowing isn't always a good option. But against hereos who can't beat you to runes why not? It helps with mana issues.

Exort wex isnt that good early game becouse the movement speed is not that beneficial in lane. Alacrity is not that great early game, so is the damage output from meteor and deafening blast at early levels. it also costs a lot of mana i believe.

Cold snap and the heal from quas are great early. Tornado emp is great in the midgame. So are forged spirits cold snap combo.

Damage from exort heavy build is great, so is sun strike.


Why people dont get bottle is becouse you will pretty much always have some early levels in quas, so you dont need the heal, also his mana is not that big of a problem in the laning phase and people generally like going a really fast phase boots and force staff or euls on him.

1.) It is, but your main spells would be Sun Strike, Chaos Meteor, Alacrity and EMP, all of which do nothing but give damage. Therefore, no lockdown, nothing good for laning, and it is overall a bad build.

2.) There are no mana issues with invoker early game unless you're spamming spells, which isn't very effective.
