Thanks, maxxy, for these very interesting facts!

After a few plays, the result seems (pretty logically) to favorise BotF for the start of the game, whereas Poisonned Dagger makes ennemies more easy to catch during mid/late game.

Beginning of the game being very important imo, I think BotF won this battle. Once again...

Heaven's wrath, out level your opponents and really bring rooks might to bear.

ehy i remember playing with you once

i still find your setup a losing one

there is no way you can get an advantage over good players with rook set that way

senda counter your hammer and heals, beast and erebus stun ya regulus slow you too much

but the most important thing is you lose all the positional advantage of planting towers

that could be boring but its a key strategical

anyway if you really wanna play as a melee probably you have to go with poisoned dagger, it doesnt proc that much but at least the snare is strong

cant really buy that much hp armor man neither since you have to be fastest than opponents to stand a chance, means you gotta start with 1k boots and later get 6.7k ones b4 any other chest/gloves

I think you really wont notice it that much, since you will be able to attack earlier than a melee and you also have an advantage in chasing... as a ranged you will be able to get more hits on an enemy than a melee at the same running speed

I'm seeing it as ~20% proc per shot with both on regulus. (1-.92*.87) = 19.996 which is much much lower than 32% (1-.85*.8).  In fact, this makes me understand a bit better why early game I didn't see as much from wyrmskin + dagger as expected (But I figured confirmation bias).

So, experience is divided amongst all recipients.  You become a recipient either by getting the kill, or being in range.  Say you are on cataract, 2v2.  If you always wrath the lane you are not covering, you are basically stealing half of your allies XP and giving it to yourself.

Think of each lane as having L amount of experience.  Normally in a 2v2 scenario each person is getting that L amount every wave.  With one person wrathing the other lane, that person is getting 1.5L and the other is getting .5L, as in, about three times as much experience as his ally.

This is the one serious problem I have with the wrath, most times it is not being used for getting 'more' experience for your team, just more experience for you personally.

Yeah, if the lane is clear, blow it away! Also, you can 'intercept' opposing creeps behind the lines.  Remember your creep waves are a mirror of the enemies, so wherever your creeps are, so are theirs. Shoot a bit early and you can clear your lane without your units being even close to combat.

FIVE

FOOTLONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I wish the tooltip would make me aware that ranged attacks have less chance of proccing than meelee. I used to always wonder why it never seemed like every five hits or so would slow my opponent as regulus with poison dagger.
