Naix + SB in General Discussion

    Can I ride this gravy train all the way to the station?

    I've won the last 5 LS games by picking LS and going "Pulz teammate play SB so I can hop inside of you and play around in there" (I say it exactly like that no joke), I think 3-4 of the times someone did pick sb, one time someone picked Clock instead. Tho one game someone dc'ed on their team that prob would've been a loss but w/e. Wonder how many games I can play without getting sick of him.

      It depends. You need vision for it to work. Teams eventually figure out what you're doing and won't sit out of position long enough to charge them. Other thing is, unless you scoring a ton of kills, lifestealer might get better farm in jungle or lane. If you keep ganking an 0-6 support over and over you're not going to get a ton of gold.

        ^ If you make the other teams' supports feed hard that means they can't ward / deward and will be outleveled and outfarmed by your own supports, which is a really big deal when it comes to teamfights

          Yes but you leave a lot of farm on the table by leaving lane. It takes a little while for sb to charge from your safe to theirs, plus you risk diving and dying. It's gimmicky. I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm just saying you're probably surprising some pubs. It won't work as well vs an organized team.

            I should probably note I don't roll with SB everytime charge is off cooldown, but enough times so that enemys become deathly afraid of showing. I also farm extremely well in the first ten minutes (im not talking about I think I subjectively farm well, im talking about free farm 60-70 last hits in 10 and try to have at least my armlet/phase by time we go ganking). And we're not just going for supports, we go for their carries too because I mean, sb + naix vs one carry?

            Not to mention SB synergizes extremely well with the rest of the team usually even without the naix.

                All pick is cancerous because of shitty invoker/pudge/NP players, at least SB can get away with maybe being a so-so player lol

                one and half gun

                  how is pudge or invoker cancerous?

                  Kermit

                    Id say invoker less so, but still a difficult mid to pull off that usually fails, pudge definitely because he can do extremely well early and then just blows hard late or he is played by every noob that thinks hooking is awesome! and then doesn't fit into your team at all.
