Attack on Titan has some incredible fucking hype action scenes. Great visuals and music too. I didn't care much for the characters but every 20 minute episode had at least one sick action moment so I was hooked for the full show.

Earthshaker: there's nothing quite like landing a big echo slam. However, I feel that if I don't get a good early game it's really hard to claw my way back to relevance, and that makes him a very stressful (if rewarding) hero to play. As such, I'm often too scared to pick him especially when stacking with better players than me. Great voice, sound effects and model too.

Sand King: similar to Earthshaker, but can at least catch up relatively easily by jungling. When I'm on fire with Sand King I feel like a goddamn ninja; using burrowstrike for mobility or using sandstorm for a split second to let blink come off cd, zipping around everywhere with minimal tools. I imagine puck feels similar.

Disruptor: awesome skillset, and unlike the above two can actually zone the enemy. Glimpsing someone back just after they tp'd makes me grin every time.

Rubick: fun for big plays but I feel I don't have enough oversight in fights yet to properly steal and use enemy spells. Fights are still unreadable to me half the time.

It has the best theme song of all anime, regardless of country of origin (USA, Korea, France, etc.)

but ever so delicious
So the only way to get compendium points is to potentially get drops from AP games or purchase them?

Wasn't it easier last year?

If you can, go mid with her, it's by far her best position. I go phase > Euls > Aghs and after that it depends on the game. I guess you can skip phase but I find that it gives you some nice damage if your combo doesn't finish off a hero. I see you're going mana boots but it's essentially a waste of gold as with bottle + Euls you will never need the mana boots(different story if you're a support).

Glimmer Cape is also a pretty cool item to get now, especially on support Lina imo.

Lina is pretty faceroll. Stun -> Nuke, really. Once you get some mana/regen you'll be able to flash farm by keeping 3 stacks on your passive and using 1 or 2 spells to quickly clear waves/jungle camps. In lane (and I don't play mid much at all), you can push/wave clear using your nuke. Try to hit your lane opponent(s) when you do so for that extra efficiency.

Not sure what else, tbh. Don't feel like you have to itemize a certain way. Euls is the only item that I think lina should build in every game, and even then some people don't like it.
~~~~~
By the way, even though Riot always has issues, I wish DotA tournaments were run as professionally and casters were as good as in League. Even when League tournaments do something clowny (like the 4/5 member casts at the Invitational going on right now), the casts are better than 99% of DotA casts.

i spent a while messing around with euls lina, figuring out item purchase order

i wrote the expected mana regen numbers down (somewhere) depending on build/stats

sage's mask gives you almost 1.0 mana regen at level 4 with like 42 int or something.

What order do you build her early on? I typically go bottle -> boots 1 -> euls in a relatively passive laning phase, or bottle -> phase boots -> euls if it's scrappier. That's probably more modular than my habits would indicate.

im almost always building brown boots into euls now these days, just because of the amount of sustainability she has in lane from base mana regen and bottle. you can push your opponents out of regen then lane.

Yeah, I find similarly. I typically go boots 2 in offlane, though. I find rushing euls just isn't as good for playing the map and ganking. Phase also offers a bit more safety in the scary early laning phase.

I do wonder if I'd get wand on her now, though. Especially in offlane that might be good.

Looking at my Lina Dota buffs, is there anything I should be avoiding or try to do better?
Click to expand...

Can't see a whole lot, but I think those recent games in which you got linkens, the linkens pickups were a bit questionable. I personally am not a huge fan of the item on anyone with a lot of range (preferring BKB or pure stats for defense), and Lina fits that description. That's not really a Lina-specific issue, though.
