                                    I have been using this build exclusively with ember lately and have won 4 out of 5 games with it. If you have another nuker or high magic damage hero in your team its becomes almost unbeatable in early teamfights.

                                        @Vladeeeeeek - ебака грозный. У тебя же профиль открыт, ты сыграл всего 10 игр, причём действительно один раз штормом против магического эмбера на миду.
                                        ЛУЛз только в том, что ты ему проиграл.

                                                                Can't add to much to the article as I'm not an Ember player, but I love that the article was written. It's great to have this kind of theory crafting as it opens up dialogues and is valuable information for player growth (studying is part of playing). Seriously, props to Dotabuff for keeping this kind of thing up.

                                                                Now here's my opinion:

                                                                This seems like a highly situational build that could be used as a surprise or as a backup strategy in case traditional counters to Ember are picked. However, looking at how Ember plays mechanically, zipping around the map, rooting players and doing dmg in a small aoe? That's Storm Spirit. If you're picking Ember, you probably should plan to NOT use this build unless there is a very specific reason to. If you want to do the magic damage tempo controlling stuff with high mobility, what would make this a better choice than Storm?

                                                                InnerLight

                                                                  @brock hall: because ember can go online faster than storm, and potentially kill 2+ heroes in lane, whilst storm can only focus on one. with this build, ember can also clear creepwave better without much items (veil+flameguard). this build suits well for objective taking aimed to finish game before 40 minutes, and not for late game scenarios.

                                                                  furry stalin

                                                                    Well, at least it is not + 6 Treants

                                                                    while (!"false");

                                                                      For some reasons Chinese players prefer to build blade mail instead of veil.

                                                                      Luke

                                                                        CAN I HAVE NORMAL GAME PLS

                                                                          I don't get how people think this build is trash when its so fucking good. i played magic ember and went 30/7 although it was just a 2k game i had to sell some stuff and build right click in late game though. still lost the game

                                                                          3x³+const

                                                                              But I'm sure I can handle him if I was mid
                                                                              But that proves that Ember can be a solo pubstomper like old ArcWarden
                                                                              Just need to master him.

I can see it being effective, but only if you take your opponent off guard. I feel like there are a lot of other effective, safe choices that would accomplish the same goal. The extra creep wave speed is something to chew on for sure though.

There is probably no reason that it should be better on 2k mmr where majority of pub players live.
                                                                                          On the other hand there are millions of great low mmr pub builds that work superb in pubs but are of no value in pro scene. You just don't need to copy builds from top players - sometimes they are not suited for your games.

                                                                                            did u know all the pros read this article too
                                                                                            since this dotabuff is known all over the world

                                                                                            rush veil on ember on his teammates , fit better to amplify magic damage
                                                                                            especially in tandem with AA skill 2 or bloodseeker skill 1 or EE max skill 3 first
                                                                                            no one want to tank this ember
                                                                                            u know magic damage reduction is stack additively , its like 1,15(talent) * 1,25(veil) * 1,15(ice vortex) = +65% amplify skill 1 n 3

                                                                                            and 2 maelstorm is better if u want this build , since it will proc more often than 1 maelstorm (beside radiance build)
                                                                                            u guys focus on magical damage right ? so , abuse it
                                                                                            u can kill 100% 1 wave creep with 1 cast of SoF

                                                                                            *FarizTampan99 2nd

                                                                                              since a long time ago , veil discord is a massive boost for magical damage
                                                                                              u can feel how hurt zeus hit + veil
                                                                                              u can see how EG win TI with skill 2 ice vortex + Echo in roshan pit

                                                                                              the main culprit is veil discord i think
                                                                                              ember magical damage without veil can fail hard

                                                                                              and radiance build , with radiance alone , mainly on alche n spec , already a pain in the ass
                                                                                              especially +15% magical talent +25% veil
                                                                                              no one can stand without BKB against this build (in early game)

                                                                                              2v1 = i get bored

                                                                                                Consistently 40k+ dmg with this build LUL. It's sad how underrated is perma searing chains 1-2 heroes.
