dyrachyo on the Orb of Corrosion: “I think it’s a scam.”

These Necromancers are a pain in the ass—if someone accidentally kills a Necromancer, you lose 400 HP right there. Sometimes those kinds of kills would happen too. Furion is farming in the “tri,” the ultimate lands, you take out the Necro’s red buff, the Necro dies, and Furion dies in the “tri” too. 400 HP for… How much did Necromancers cost, 2,000 gold? That’s just crazy. And they were so easy to build, too. Super-overpowered gear: mana regeneration, stats, and you summon these shitty Necromancers that deal insane damage. Beastmaster really was overpowered back then, and Lycan was very strong, too.

I think it’s a rip-off. For example, even as a midlaner—like Slark—if you want to pick up the “Corrosion” sometimes, you push the lane, but the “Corrosion” is way too expensive—it costs 1,000 gold, and that’s a rip-off, seriously. That 700 gold speeds up your PT, and if you get your PT earlier, that means more farm, and then you can buy yourself another glove. It all snowballs—it’s a complex interest rate, as Sanya TORONTOTOKYO used to say. More attack speed means more farm; more farm means you buy items faster.

Satanic showed that you shouldn’t waste time on nonsense like this [At this point, Wits teleported to a difficult lane to finish off an enemy, after which he decided to stay to help destroy the tower. — Ed.]. Got the kill—went back to the gate, farmed a bunch, bought Lightning Spikes, bought Mjollnir, bought BKB, Daedalus—and crushed the lane. There’s no point in taking down this tower: Tiny has no TP. They’re noobs, really. They don’t understand how to maximize their farm, but Satanic understands it perfectly. If you’re a core player and you realize the tower will fall even without you, don’t waste your time—that last hit on the tower isn’t worth it.
