The mystic dominator. Extreme early game pressure.

Actually Helm of the Dominator has been built in every single core of 7.00 (from Juggernaut to even stuff like Vengeful Spirit core), and like Mystical here says, it is considered the OP item of the meta.

The issue is: is this a pushing meta? Not on the traditional sense. There are no summon's high pushes being played at higher levels, and there can be dozens of reasons for that, including the fact that they are countered by other heroes that are way too good right now (I also heard some complaints about jungling, supposedly harder right now with a real impact on jungling heroes that don't like to roam as early?).

Enigma is one of those heroes that relies on an early push with his team and an early Mekansm. So yea, delaying that in favor of the HotD, like Hamster said, will make you loose your timings and be useless to the team in a more impactful way. Except if you don't care about your team and you don't get punished for that, which mostly happens in this tier so that would explain it lol

But seriously, nice guide Mystikal, maybe adapting the play style to suit the HotD can work, sounds interesting and makes sense. However, "Pros aren't doing it so people don't copy it" it's just a very silly excuse that disregards the fact that pros do know what is best and not in the meta more than any pub player (they have the knowledge, the experience, the team, the competence), and also that even pub players at higher levels know how to counter and explore the heroes to their full potential better, so something that works for you doesn't necessarily work for everyone and not certainly on higher level games.

Sooo I would say the downvotes on this guide come probably from the exaggerated attitude of its author, a little less "I'm the best cookie in the package" and I'm sure people would see through the qualities of the guide, just an advice :)

Agree with Dimony, helm Enigma is a pretty interesting idea and I think the downvotes on this guide are completely unjustified.
It's true that helm is now an item for zoo pushers and no longer an item for carries, so it makes perfect sense that people build it on Enigma now. Gives attack speed and regen to summons, allows to get an alpha wolf to push harder, etc.
I thought about doing a similar build on Nature's Prophet where you'd go helm into necrobook and pushed with the team.

The issue with doing that build on Enigma is that you delay your Blink Dagger a LOT though. And it has an awkward timing with Mekansm since mek is really an item that should be rushed.
IMO the best item order would be helm -> mek -> blink/BKB
I think there's absolutely no place for Guardian Greaves in that build. Enigmas without blink/BKB after the 35 minute mark who can't land a single black hole are up there with Techies pickers as my most hated teammates in this game :)

Seems more legit than 95% of stuff posted here. Care to share your games with this strat and thoughts about why nobody else does this yet?
