General Discussionweaver linkens

no

weaver withut linkens seems fine tbh

if u dont get linkens how do u have mana sustain? bloodthornes only a last item

thats the build https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2833119830

it seems much like the morph linkens every game to me
i bought clarities early and got aquila+raindrops and it didnt seem like mana was a big issue tho i watched some replays and seems everyones building it

ROFFFFL you're a fokkin genius withthat bf mana regen

or u just go urn medalion like a real man. that's a lot of mana regen mate

linken in every game is dumb, every item its situational.. raindrops, wand and aquila should be enough, buy linken when need the spell block only

pfft. if your going gay normal boring ass build, just get aquila wand and bottle

Does situational mean you build it 9 times out of 10? If that's the case then ok it's situational.

The better question is when to build it.

i think its more like 5 times out of 10

BUY BOTTLE

The item is very slow, generally you shouldn't get it unless you are against retarded single target abilities that make the hero unplayable like BS or Doom.

buy bottle

in some games if ur playing as 5 a lot and theres teammates with arcanes I'm sure u can go deso bkb or some shit and just rape towers and make kids very sad when they die in 2 hits, but linkens is nice to have just like on morph u don't really want to build it, but u need that regen.

last time someone mentioned weaver bottle on my stream, my 7k friend went apeshit
or was it sniper

yes it was inx's bottle vevor propaganda
i don't remember anyone going apeshit though

no im not fucking autstic

well, i am, but building linkens on weaver all the time is retarded

i get a casual early perservance pretty often tho
or/and aquila
and raindrops, this item's godlike

and what do you make of perservance if not linkens
battle fury?

rofl
he makes linken's out of it

linkens or nothing
i just get it as ~4th slot

i think linkens most of the time is good because u get

1) regen in lane

2) decent stats for early game (considering a ~13-14 min max. linkens)

3) blocks a spell and can also block an item - so they can't counter you with orchid etc

i don't see why you'd not build it except for some very rare games

cz all the items weaver benefits from most fall of pretty quickly, and delaying ur deso and/or dragon lance kinda sucks, particularly given that the stats linkens give you are shit for the price u have to pay for it, tbh

well I wouldn't rush linkens, I'd get aquila, perserverance, lance, deso some order. Rushing linkens is almost always bad.

give me 1 game where a linkens would not potentialyl save you in any way - i think its actually quite important so u can dive in the early game once u got ur deso

also when would u get ur deso? maybe at 15-16 mins, idk what u need a 10 min deso for

not to mention that ure building perseverance anyway, so linkens actually only costs 3100, and u get +15 on all stats +5 dmg, which is practically like 1 1/2 dragon lances + spell block

1 1/2 dragon lances

Deso is way more dps than linkens, and yes a 10 min deso you are going to 2 shot supports with sukuchi, deso + germ attack, one more auto attack.

linkens is never a must build imo, no matter what hero

deutchland logic GIGALUL

idk i thought it gives +12 or osmething lul, nonetheless you also get intelligence so fuck off

its certainly not must build, but 99% of the cases it is

i dont think id ever get a linkens plus deso by min 16 as offlane weaver
just realized that some ppl might be talki about safelane weaver

yes im talking only about safelane weaver actually

just realized that some ppl might be talki about safelane weaver

dude, im an old man, weaver for me is still a core in dual offlane

u can play him everywhere... support weaver, carry weaver, jungle weaver, offlane weaver, mid weaver WTF?>!?!?!?? but if u go jungle pls kys

I'm really hating this current Weaver popularity. Mostly because I love playing the hero and he'll probably get nerfed.

they can nerf weaver, then you just play support weaver in the offlane. it's much better. you dont rush linkens anymore because of other better items like raindrops, bottles for regen if you roam weaver, & dragon lance and how the playstyle has changed.

Linkens weaver means 3 hero must be needed to kill u. So you can just detect if the enemy want to kill u.

Linken rush only works in 2k where people try to kill weaver with only 1 or 2 heroes
Definitely a 3rd or 4th item pickup

Aquila bottle stick raindrop
Pick up two of them you won't have that much mana problems
If you keep dying then the problem is with the player, not the items

Mid weaver isn't that good tbh
Lane is too short for him to take advantage of shukuchi
Although with those bounty runes I can see why it's quite viable now

I don't why some people bashing current Linken's Sphere here. The item got buffed with cheaper recipe and now cheaper than Manta. Gives you the mana sustain to keep up with Shukuchi, good hp regen for farm sustain. Great active ability on Weaver, also.

I'm not saying you need to rush to Linkens, but if you don't your first item of choice would be Dragon Lance / Hurricane Pike. Weaver still needs those early stats. You can get a damage item like Desolator or MKB, and you build Linkens as 3rd or 4th item again. (BTW, first item Desolator is always a bad choice.)

knew id get triggered at some point making this thread

i jsut checked the mmrs of the ppl recently responding to it and it is a 4Head

Typical 5k response

i love how "only works in 2k" responses often come from ppl who never actually played anywhere but 2k

Hahahaha 5ks triggered. Noiice

Which comment exactly triggered you tho.
