    why no one buys this item?
    +250 mana is like having +20 int = most cost efficient damage item in the game for OD
    health regeneration is needed because od doesn't build regen items
    and +200 range on prison, ult, blink and hex is nice

    what do you think?

      it doesnt increase orb's range

        i know, i didn't say it does

          he need more slot, and not for cheap / sup based item.

            @Op - Because there are better itms to buy on OD other than aether lens I suppose. Hey y don't u try aether lens on him for like 5-10 games or so share us your results.

            Totentanz to The King: M ...

              No one buys it because 250 mana for 2200 isn't even a good deal.

                  Also OP, did u know when u buy aether lens on OD , the hero tells the above^ in game.

                    @Sam Fuckin' Peckinpah: 900 gold for 250 mana is good, skipping bottle for ring or health means that the difference is 1600 gold
                    it's either aether lens or drums + bottle

                    also you all don't play fucking OD, can i get actual opinions from non-normal skill od players?

                    nami

                      isn't sam 6k

                      anyway some 5k input here is that

                      no

                      getting ring of health over bottle is a terrible trade if you're looking for some early regen, aether lens itself is not that bad on od but there are BETTER items, drums is gotten for the active, not just the stats, the ms and as boost is critical for od in the early game which is his most important phase

                      and after drums you want an atos or blink, not an aether. once you those item, you go for bkb/moonshard

                      like theres never a time u can slot aether in

                      Reese

                        i don't know if sam is 6k but he doesn't play od
                        @nami: you don't play od neither but your arguments make sense

                          1. You dont have the Slots
                          2. Drums are better in nearly every way imaginable
                          3. 250 Mana isnt like 20int because 20 int gives 250 mana +20dmg (main Attribute), mana regen (not really needed, whatev,..)
                          4. The range buff on astral and ult is 95% useless

                          If you seriously wanna theory craft an odd-ball item, Veil of Discord would be the way better choice, since it gives a ton of int, some survivability and hp-regen and of course the active (which is kinda useless if you dont have other Magic damage Dealers tbf). Arteezy was buying aquila veil instead of bottle drums when he was playing safelane OD and it kinda works.

                            nice, the item is trash, ty
                            can someone explain me why ring of aquila on int hero? sounds retarded, wand imo is just better
                            i saw dendi starting with wraith band on invoker lmao

                              Gives some stats, some nice attack speed, armor,... Arteezy just seems to love the item atm, I only could see it vs a heavy physical dmg lineup, otherwise I agree, Wand is the way to go.

                                Veil on Od is great the active makes a big difference when you drop the hammer
