Most game-losing itemization choice you’ve ever seen in General Discussion
ETd

    I’m talking about item choices that are potentially viable on a hero given a certain scenario, but was picked up at the wrong time, considering situation of the game, and ending up losing the game for the team. Not meme builds like mjollnir TA, or the 2K support Lions who force Blink-Aghs, or any EE rapier moments.
    My last Axe game, the enemy Spectre refused to replace her blade mail and radiance, opting to get a backpack refresher and a BKB. IMO if she picks up a butterfly and skadi, we’re done for. But no, she went BKB into our team comp containing Bane, Pudge, my Axe...

      Brain damaged visage wastes 2.4k gold for wraith band, bottle and treads. If he would have bought normal items (HotD -> medallion) we would have dumpstered them just like lich(me) and es did top.
      Reminder es had a godlike streak in 12 minutes :-)

          I dunno but today I had a spectre that got six slotted but didn’t have manta as part of her slots when we needed more dps and manta increases her dps but a shit load .

              I once bought a 20min radiance on dk like a couple weeks ago naively thinking it might workout.

                If you are playing lifestealer and are not buying a radiance you are basically griefing thanks.

                      Midas into Radiance Underlord against a mostly magical damage team + trying to compete in farm with an alchemist. Admittedly, going support WK wasn't a good idea either, but I didn't have much choices, considering it was LP.

                        Had invo in my team while i was enigma. Enemy last pick spectre.

                        I tell invo over and over again to skip midas. He doesnt. More over i also notice warlock has midas in quick buy and he wont react to my calls to drop it since we need to push for early end. I say fuck it and go for midas myself.

                        Also remember 1 pa who would seem to refuse building bkb (or at least she prefered getting deso busher before, ended up getting kitted and stunned all the time).

                        Lots of people in my bracket dont know not to use mom in fights (rather then when they are not in danger). Drow mom esspecially pops to mind

                            buying casual cloak on spectre; that ended up becoming a full blown pipe...

                                Check LC itembuild.
                                Check our lanes.

                                  My last game as a Magnus.

                                  I wasted gold for my Daedalus instead of going Refresher. 2 RP and 2 BKB shouldve been an expensive fireworks show.

                                  P.S. our offlane WR is the reason we lost though. Zero farm ffs

                                          Hood is not bad on spectre, and depending on game factors pipe can be good too.

                                            i’m guilty myself. After a 20 MKB, converted from my MoM, and a completed pike, I opted to convert the mask into a satanic. Delaying a proper defensive item in linkens, or BKB, and refusing to get a maelstrom/mjollnir until it was too late, when we were megas down, cost us the game, after we had a handy lead going into mid-game

                                              just had a brood go crystalys deso medallion

                                              and in the same game, a void go perseverance, MoM, shadow amulet, pointbooster, shadow blade, linkens,

                                              Jacked

                                                Do not buy battlefury on undying. I tried to make it work but it doesn't.

                                                Jacked

                                                  It's tricky knowing when to get certain defensive items like linkens or bkb vs positioning items like blink or pike.

                                                    hey @HanYolo do you have main acccount or this is your smurf account?

                                                    3k enjoyer

                                                      Just a few reminders for who are playing PL who are sub 3k and 2k here. Dont skip this item on him Aquila treads hoods. Dont rush for fucking diffusal for fucksake. Retard 3k carry does this most of the time. and lose mid game through end game. PL is fucking squishy for INT heroes like zues. or AOE skilled heroes

                                                      Jacked

                                                        Sometimes rushing big items is the only play. Like heart on pl against heavy burst like Lina or luna

                                                              On supports, going for aghs or very expensive items rather than building lotus or linken to help your carry in ganks
