Is it just me or is Rod of Atos extremely strong right now in General Discussion
Hopeless

    Seems like its taking Dota players awhile to figure it out seeing how it was such a bad item for so long.

    Highest Int damage per cost value in the game
    350 health (that is a huge amount)
    New Root mechanic is very strong with 1000 cast range (do increased cast range talents/items improve this?)

    anyway... seems like its pretty boss.

      Revolutionary.

      evy

        It's good
        But then again you have like 69 years to react to a huge ball that transforms into a net that chases your ass

          I can't think of any heroes that can collect 3100 gold that quick to use root efficiently, except OD.

          Planeskeeper

            What about invoker?

            Cheap Laugh Guy

              I seriously can't find them... Skywrath Mage... Phoenix... Outworld Devourer... Enchantress

              Jakiro? Pugna?

              Invoker and Lina are subjected to buy Eul's

              I think I'm done.

                Sky and OD are top tier atos carrier for sure

                Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  I use them on my recent game as Visage. Awesome item.

                    I recently watched a replay with vuncture's invoker rushing for atos.Enemy got rekt good 100% suntrikes.

                      Vurtune has been building Atos on Invoker for a few patches now. It's very good, maybe a decent replacement for Eul's?

                      Hopeless

                        Jakiro can easily get it if hes pushing/farming. The new 8% spell damage amp talent makes his DoT combo reliably wipe waves even more than before

                          its 1st item must buy on pudge wars 1 hook 1 kill

                          Hopeless

                            also good on underlord

                            Nimbus

                              Purge put the item to great effect when he played Undying in a recent video. The item is great on many heroes.

                              stupid fuck 2000

                                pretty sure its great on Leshrac

                                Pippo^

                                  Time to atos topics, ss atos op

                                      It was always a good item

                                      kr

                                        its really good.

                                          Eul's replacement for atos?I think eul's is still good it has good buffs.Lemme read the items.

                                          mom said it's my turn to ...

                                            Well with atos the target isnt invulnerable unlike with euls' cyclone. I'd say it's close to being a good scythe alternative pre-manta

                                              Waga gets that shit on every hero

                                                Very true, and I really like that there is no chance of ruining a team mates plans when using atos. In pubs comunication is minimal, and Euls on the wrong target can ruin your teammates combo or spells on a target. Atos will never accidentally save your enemy

                                                .
                                                .

                                                  its okay, nothing that will be a must have item on heroes imo, maybe sky but thats about it

                                                  PrizmIzOld

                                                    Think about Atos in this way 'Not on what hero I should build it but versus what hero I should build it'? Atos > Eul vs AM, SS, QOP and etc.

                                                    Massive Dynamic

                                                      It's very good at the moment, core item on OD now.
