Few notes: - Blink is not really necessary - Get six-slotted too fast, further removing Blink's value - Manta Style instead of Sange and Yasha? - S&Y Situational, Manta Core, removing Blink Dagger - Max Q early on to justify removing Blink Dagger - Someone suggested Diffusal Blade as situational items | ||

Idunno, maybe I dont really know what im talking about here but those are just my 2 cents. I dont think SnY or manta is a good item for void at all since he doesn't scale from the illusions and if you just wanted the aspd might as well go for maelstorm and you get a good farming mechanic and decent damage.from the.lightning proc. If you are afraid of getting nuked while you are chronoing then it may make more sense to get a BKB instead of SnY. Maybe this is just because i have a thing against sny, i just dont find it as a good item for Void. on slark maybe since the maim is good on him, the added max hp increase is great since you will be using ur 1st skill (forgot whats its called) to gank and you can regen health while you use your ult and you can build it up from (or into) a silver edge depending on what your facing up against (if ur up vs pa or bb then makes more sense to keep it as a silver edge). but for void i think sny is just not worth it for how he is meant to be played also ill just leave this here since its probably relevant: again im just trying to weigh in here, im just another typical pub player, so take this with a grain of salt | ||

That is not a situation that void finds himself in unless he's snowballing like crazy. The new void needs far too many things from his gold to buy a master-of-none item. SnY doesn't give you enough anything when you could spend that cash in a more targeted way. Regarding blink, this is the exact same situation as when the exact same guy was playing windrunner. Of course it doesn't look necessary when complete newbies are letting him walk up and shackle/chrono big groups of them. That doesn't mean it remains unnecessary when people get better, or that he wouldn't be even more successful if he learned to use it. Offlane void almost certainly wants blink in his first 4-8k gold. Carry void probably wants it regularly but situationally, depending on lineups and gamestates. | ||

I dont think blink is necessary in any position and i think u could just build void like any other melee carry is built nowadays (treads roa sny skadi bkb kinda stuff). Obviously u benefit from attack speed even more than most of the heroes but u shouldnt feel like u have to get max attack speed in the first 2 items, rather tank up a bit and get damage output later (since with ur q u are suuper tanky early mid game, u are literally immortal if u have treads (vanguard, i still like it) sny etc. Maxing q is safe while maxing e is greedy. Maxing w rarely makes sense but sometimes u feel like having more than 1 in w before lvl10 feels necessary but for guide, i would go 4-1-1-1 or just even lvl q and e. | ||

I'd personally prefer he be left alone until he pans out in the pro scene. If we're going to talk about him anyway, small changes like adding blink and increasing the priority of aghs are much more sensible for something which is trying to be "standard" when there is no standard. Regarding vanguard etc specifically, you certainly become difficult to kill as a 1pos if you build bulk, but the enemy team can also pretty safely ignore you after you've used chrono. 1pos void also needs to maintain a large gold lead that those items don't help you farm. | ||

I prefer Vlad's over RoA despite the higher cost and I think Manta Style is useful for the extra damage during your ult (it works through ult, no?), however with BKB as Extension, it might confuse users. I don't think Time Lock so early on is all that good, I prefer Q maxed, then Time Lock and Time Dilation. Of course a value point before 6 in all. | ||

The game I watched him play had times where Blink was very useful, but overall; he moved past its usefulness quickly and at six-slots, I would prefer he have some stats (Treads -> Wand -> Vlads -> Blink [Stat item here]).

Of course a value point before 6 in all. as an offlane void, strictly speaking, you're not going to six slot before your safe lane carry or mid and will be fulfilling a utility role. | ||

That seems pretty strange unless you're making an ironic comment on the fact that dusa's earlygame lasts 45 minutes. | ||

The guide as it stands is for offlane void, largely because the very few appearances he's made in pro games have been in that position. If you intend for offlane to remain the status quo, it needs to have blink. If you want to go back to 1pos void then do whatever, because nobody knows. I'm personally partial to midas. | ||

Once we get to the point where the super-broken thing of the patch starts getting abused and we realize 90% of the things people tried are just bad, one of them will probably emerge as being way better than the other. | ||
