That's actually not really true. You see a lot of Alchemists and Natures Prophets get it in tourney play.

You misunderstood that. I meant it is not picked up in competitive Gyro games. But you're right i should have said i was referring to gyro. Of course you're right with and , it's very good on them and after the comment of Peppo_oPaccio im gonna do an update on the guide, where i will also write i was referring to gyro with that.

I might have been a bit harsh about the HotD, but you get the point I guess; also, about the , I am usually the first guy that finds a good reason not to pick it (Invisibility detection, expensive components, high price for an early game item and so on) but it definitely pays off on Gyro if gotten in about 15 minutes: unlike Heroes like or who would rely too much on invisibility and couldn't actually kill an enemy by themselves if not using their ultimates, can get solo kills on supports by using and autoattacks.
Also, thank you for answering!

Early HotD is only useful if you are losing advantage because your aggressive trilane failed or the enemies are split pushing very early; 's usefulness has been debated since early May and many players prefer skipping it because it doesn't give so many benefits to your : some people used to get it if free farming (like on ), but in this case a outclasses it because it grants easy engagements/escapes and a couple more damage for your flak.

The skill build is nice, though pro players prefer leaving at level 2 if free farming.
