bro as a dis spammer I think his shard is so broken and I always buy it after force glimmer or even sooner. when you lose sight on enemy and can’t glimpse them back you just cast q on shadow and it gives vision for glimpse. it’s great vs heroes like void, weaver, … . you force their bkb or it’s pretty much guaranteed kill.

As an immortal Mirana spammer who used to play her core a lot, a now only as sup, I confirm it’s indeed Mirana’s. The vector target option takes too long for clutch moments. I’ve rarely seen any high skill/ pro player use it. The damage component is laughable as well. It doesn’t benefit core right click build and as a sup, you usually use it to disengage. The only good thing about it is the extra leap charge, but it’s far from being worth the price.

I believe that since the hero is now universal and so you want to build a stats heavy build rather than pure damage, the old “crit in every hit while leap debuff is active” would be extremely good and it’d make her a viable core. Also maintain the +1 leap charge.

I have no idea why people think Disruptor shard is bad. It’s 50% more damage and duration, 100% more cast range, and you can hit people in fog and invis with it. Because it reaches farther and the vision duration is longer, it enables you to get Glimpses you would not otherwise get. The reason you don’t buy it is simply that you need other items more, most notably aghs, on top of other support items. But if you get it from tormentor it’s pretty good, not amazing by any means but not anywhere close to being bad.

I’d say DK, Tinker, Mirana are all pretty underwhelming. Clinkz doesnt get much use the way he is usually played. KotL is really hard to get value from since it requires you to be in ult to be used. Spectre is honestly pretty bad, it gets ok if you have the 25 talent. The LD bear shard is also pretty bad, haven’t seen it picked up once.

I love disruptor shard. I think worst is Muerta shard.

Mirana. I love mirana, my most played hero even back in Dota 1, but it’s literally unplayable right now, leap nerfed, arrow nerfed, aghs nerfed, shard is shit.

Ogre and aba spring to mind

Its like they decided instead of anything good, lets give him a small spell lifesteal and slow resistance.

Voodoo Mask is 700 gold for 10%

Shard is 1400 gold for 10%

Your buying a second voodoo mask for the 30% slow bonus that only applies while overcharging.

Hoodwink Shard i almost dont buy that shit in my games and better to get other utility item for supporting it is not worth tho damage is not significant and incoming spell damage just doesnt matter for it

No one even talking about abbadons shard, or monkey king shard

Mirana

Abba shard. Evidence? Uncontested at TI. Additionally, the shard effect is okay, and that is the issue. If it was absolute garbage, I wouldn’t be tempted to get it. That is the worst shard. The one that gives a shred of hope that it might be worth it. The garbage ones you can just skip. No worries.
