Nice post on reddit seeing it's interaction with the other PA sets.

It actually looks a lot better when paired with other sets. I still don't really like the swords though but I can see why people would.

I think they need to half the price of these arcanas really. I'm sure they would sell a hell of a lot more to make up for it.

Tune · 19 Nov 2014 at 15:14

They are already going down a lot. Lina one is like £10 now? And LC is £16 I think.

Allnamestaken · 19 Nov 2014 at 16:06

Hmmm thats not to bad.

Allnamestaken · 19 Nov 2014 at 16:13

I live for the days I can pick ES after someone picks meepo ( meepo being my fave hero and hateing ES counter picks).

The early game Ulti was just a spite ulti to rub it in hope you like it, its only 2 mins long anyway nothing special.

Murray · 19 Nov 2014 at 17:34

9 minutes into the game.... no boots with 1.4k gold and no wards on the map. Oh dear.

The IPB · 19 Nov 2014 at 20:19

What MMR is that? They all know there is a blink ES on the other team, yet they all stand on top of each other under the tower :/

Allnamestaken · 20 Nov 2014 at 02:35

It wasn't very high mmr think only 3k so nothing special. They kept on giving me good ultimate opportunities the whole game.

The IPB · 20 Nov 2014 at 10:02

Don't get me wrong I'm not much better at 3.5k, but it's obvious grouping against a blink earthshaker is a bad idea. Silly people.

I want to be good with Earthshaker but I just always suck with him so much

platypus · 20 Nov 2014 at 10:21

That's the problem playing pubs though, if you pick earthshaker you're more often than not automatically expected to play hard support. And he's so much more than that.

Yeah he really is!

Shamikebab · 20 Nov 2014 at 11:51

Earthshaker is fine as a hard support, he needs very little to contribute in most phases of the game.

Agreed, blink and arcanes keep him useful even as the game goes later. Seen a few Earthshakers go carryshaker and it's always been massively underwhelming.

platypus · 20 Nov 2014 at 13:17

Not suggesting he's a carry at all as he blatantly isn't. He's a lot more than hard support.

There is very few games where that remains fun or usefull after midgame.

Not saying carryshaker is not fun but only if the enemy team is relatively squishy.

What's the next item you need after blink that requires him to be position 3/4?

I see two options: Veil/Aggs, either can be achieved while still warding and moving around the map ganking without having to dedicate actual farm to the hero.

platypus · 20 Nov 2014 at 18:50

As above its all well and good if youve a 30-40 minute game, but if its more than that youre going to need some items.
