General Discussionhow to build anti mage if we are not going for the traditional battle...

Any because you're pretty much throwing the game

don't pick am then

Why no battlefury in the first place?

pick someone else like jugg or luna or something else then

Echo, vanguard, manta, moon shard, AC, Skadi. whatever.

AM doesn't have as static of a build as people think anymore.
The hero's quite shit, tough.

pick ursa and turn him into anti mage instead.

I just lost to this shitter

it seems a little gimmicky not to go for bf, but I guess you could try and do Maelstrom since u do need to utilize his ability to farm one way or another

I guess he's saying assuming you have another greedy core your team like Naga/arch and decide you want to farm heroes instead of creeps. I saw miracle do this on his smurf and I think I saw artery do it on stream once too. Echo,HotD ,manta ,abyssal -> whatever you need, linkens/bkb or smth

I went vanguard manta into regular am items. I dont see the need in echo when his BAT is so low, u cud just go for helm yasha which gives attack speed and gr8 stats and shit. Or u cud be smart and build bf.

ucan chase people with echo slow and u cant with just ias

and it gives hp and mana

pick ursa and turn him into anti mage instead.

This. I would much rather have an ursa using Armor and Magic Resist talents than an AM picker on my team.

My friend played am kunkka in ad where he had ns passive and mana void but no mana break so he went diffusal manta lmao

someone post some of his great succes with AM alternative build :

PT > Vang > Echo > Manta > abysal > whatever

the guy 5k and have win streaks and i tried it
sacrifice farming speed for actually fight 5 vs 5 pre 20 minute since u have vangurd and echo ideally at 14 minutes

Deso blink pipe octarine

Always go bf diffusal manta on ursa if u want to win
