But Atos has a lot of stigma. I once had a game where I was SK against Axe, so I decided that after my Blink I'd get Blade Mail so he'd Helix himself to death in teamfights. There was also a TA and Wraith King, so I went for Atos, both for the nice amount of bonus stats and to kite them as the fight went on, and then clean up teamfights using Blink Atos for long *** pickoffs. Sounds reasonable right? It Worked.

But the entire time, the team was so condescending and rude. "Blade Mail? Where is your Force Staff?" "Atos? What's your next terrible item?" So I had to mute them and show them the effectiveness of the item in that situation.

Cuttleboss: you're very smart. Don't let people bring you down, ever - even if it turned out it wasn't a good idea, what counts is your intention. Congrats on the game! Athos for everyone!

I appreciate your kindness ChiChi. Don't worry, I was only upset for like a few minutes, and this was months ago. I don't have that many situations to use Atos since there are other ways to kite heroes. Plus, I've been buying the 6.84 items way too much lately.

Datos

If not, then the original one, Atos.

:D

EDIT: Shoulda been Atos, Btos, Ctos, or Dtos.

What about Etos: 300 HP, 30 Int, 4 second 60% slows both the caster and the target, prevents mobility items on only the target?

+Rep for the fantastic names of those items Sando :D

Catos and Datos feel like they're merging into orchid territory, I'd probably get Datos though.

I got to Notable, Thanks!

Rod of Batos is probably what the item should be. It would be really good.

Rod of Catos is pretty OP.

Rod of Datos is broken to a complete ******** level :)

For me Rod of Catos's ability should be on a 6K gold late game item. Could make an upgrade to with this ability for example.

Making it unpurgeable is already ultra-strong, unpurgeable with magic immunity makes the good old Kelen's dagger of escape look balanced :)
