Do not skill 1/1/2/0.
Disagree, I have had more success with that build than skipping vortex. In most pub games you need it early because your team won't give you time to just farm for 10 minutes while Lina or Bloodseeker eat your team. Also two points are remnant are useless if BS is full on Sonic the Hedgehog and gets away from you.

1.5 sec pull is gonna solve your team's feeding issue?

I'd argue better dmg output and farm is whats gonna carry your team to victory. If you're roaming at level 4 as storm, something is very wrong.

Absolutely, because what will they be doing? Diving towers. If you can punish that, you kill them. I never roam at 4 as Storm, however there is an expectation to do something after 6 and not wait ten years to actually be useful. This is Storm Spirit, not Naga farming Radiance mid.

honestly as a storm spirit player (100% wr) it's so entertaining for me to see u noobs pretending that u know what ur talking about

I think its time we use hero score as a proper metric for talking about heroes, and solo mmr for overall game discussion. This way everyone's opinions are quantified and we aren't all on equal ground.

hylian pls. theres a difference between getting pull at level 8 and farming an 18 min radiance.

Also expect mid to roam at level 6? In a meta with farming mids?

Hylian have you heard of a kid named Sumail?

Go check his skill build in the last 50 games on Storm Spirit.

I realize that, but he is in much higher MMR games where the teams are much different, and actually understand that Storm can't just walk into a lane and stun Laguna someone at level 6. I guarantee you that in a lot of games that I have won with Storm, that if we did that, we would have lost.

I think you're mistaking Storm Spirit for Bounty Hunter.

When you see Lina and Bloodseeker doing it every single game, yeah, they might expect something, even if it's just carrying a TP and rotating.

I always used 1-1-4-1, then getting Vortex to 3, then maxing Remnant.

and you always used to go orchid first into bloodstone and saying bloodstone first was a pub strat, and which one do you build now? At Ti1 storm build was to max remnant first, do you think it would be a good idea to do so now? Builds, skill, items. They change.

lowest mmr gets first pick right

Those are very different from getting a free disable and being able to punish dives vs not having that at all while Bloodseeker and Lina eat up your whole team.

yes, the 1.5 sec pull is whats preventing bloodseeker and lina from destroying your team

what's the MMR requirement on captaincy

technically there really isn't one this season, but there are only 12 captain slots this time around so we are going to be a lil more picky when selecting captains this time around (provided more than 12 sign up in the first place)

I feel like every time I check this thread there's an argument between Hylian7 and 3+ other people. Why can't you guys get along like your older sibling the TF2-OT.

hey man if you're defending a skill build with a <50% win rate go right ahead.

two bear draft me in the 7th round, there is a chance I could make games.

That's my all-time winrate on the hero, including all the games where I was still trying to get a grip on the hero. I have a higher than 50% winrate this patch, and the last 12 months.
