General DiscussionMidas on sniper

compensating for terrible farming habbits in NS by getting midas.

if it works for you, i'm fine with that.

but 2 games is barely any sample size

hotd gives similar benefits with better stats and the amazing wolf aura (usually ends up being 40-65 damage with wolf aura + helm stats

hotd is also cheaper, can be bought at the side shop, and can counter omniknight (fuck this hero)

and I'm not even sure hotd is the item to go for on sniper either

Im Not even sure if sniper is the hero to go for

Hotd is crap and u could just buy diffusal against omni. Diff is OP on its own anw.

im not even sure if dota 2 is the game to go for

azrael here's me shitting on ppl better than you with hotd

im sure that you can hit similar gpm and damage numbers with brown boots shadow blade rush or whatever the fuck people build in 2k

kappa

ps diffusal cast range is short as fuck for sniper. i buy it against medusa only

im not anywhere being good but i believe that buying midas is only viable on invoker, arc warden, lone druid and situationally on supports

Remove the word "Sniper"

Midas is a terrible items for the majority of heroes, there are maybe a few heroes who actually benifit from a midas build including voker.
It can be an item that secures you the win if you have a hero that needs levels and has little to no flash farm abilities but the items will lose you a lot of games if played wrong or against wrong lineups.
get a sniper a dragon lance and you will have done more for your hero for less money.

It's not good, slows down your farm, speeds up your levels, sniper needs farm more than levels. But it's not total dogshit like on some heroes cus sniper does benefit quite a lot from attack speed.

Sniper being a terrible hero aside, what would be the point in getting the extra exp from midas for sniper? So that you can get 40% of doing 25 more damage from right clicks? Midas only works on heroes that rely on getting level advantages, sniper needs gold, not exp.
