              mr. rabbit

                i only watch abed 10k mmr gameplay sry!!!

                  You win as AM, when your team wins you the game. Period.

                  Usually AMs win, when there is a duo of supports running around the whole map and shitting on every lane of the enemy.

                  Supports, mid and offlane usually have to rape the whole map, while the Anticreep gets his items.

                  He got items, because his team dominated? He's highly likely to win.

                  He didn't get items, because his team's brain damaged? He's highly likely to lose.

                  That blinking macho ain't a Slark/Sven/Troll/Jug/Luna/whatever, who all can make an actual impact in the game.

                  tl;dr
                  I don't like having Antimage on my team.

                    yeah thats not true

                    Jacked

                      yea you may be right. but this game in particular, you have to watch it to understand how he wins the game and put aside your prejudice

                      ywn

                        yeah i am right thats not true

                        Jacked

                          what usually happens is your team gets raped while AM tries to farm up while providing little contribution to the early and mid game and you lose the game

                          Jacked

                            yea you may be right that yea thats not true.

                                  in a free lane it should be 14

                                  chicken spook,,,,

                                    only at low mmr where players 1st pick am then struggle to get a 20mins bf in a free farm lane.

                                    Yea because usually he gets countered by not only 5, but 9 people

                                    chicken spook,,,,

                                      Absolutely free lane timing is probably 12-13 mins

                                      mr. rabbit

                                        10 if i play am hahAA

                                        mr. rabbit

                                          countered by 10 ppl i mean, not 10 min fury sry godbless! :v

                                          ETd

                                            lmao @pyontan mentioned the fighting build thing, I got the message, don't do it, beating a dead horse there. xD
                                            Absolute free lane battle fury should around 13 mins, yeah. If you're pro you can get it earlier from efficiently rotating between jungle and lane, but let's be real who here is efficient enough, better off staying in lane.

                                            chicken spook,,,,

                                              Lmao there is no way you can get min 13 BF treads PMS without rotating to jungle
                                              12 is probably on absurdly free enviroment with maximum efficiency but min 13 is usually gg already

                                              niko

                                                    You win as AM, when your team wins you the game

                                                    Yes every single one of them I last picked anti-mage against no counters, counters all of them, farm easily with a free lane, and supports kicking the offlaner out of the lane !!!!!

                                                    Lokieleven

                                                      looks like a normal am game?
                                                      what is there to learn lol

                                                      invis?

                                                          implying Slark/Luna is good LUL

                                                          white boy summer

                                                            u win game as am by preventing enemy from pushing, is it that hard to understand? it's like naga

                                                            Dune, the Desert Planet

                                                              AM creates 5x the space he took after he gets BF and Manta. Almost no supports and half the cores can't deal with AM with Manta, at best they will run away low. Lanes constantly pushed. Towers and raxes at permanent threat. Team cannot fight without losing an objective. If they refuse to fight, AM will get a big item every 5 minutes while his own team will also farm due to AM forcing multy hero rotations to defend.

                                                              But the hero has amazing fail/throw potential. Fail games as AM = LP.

                                                              Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                                Tutz:
                                                                I don't like having Antimage on my team

                                                                Me too. Most AM play are rude and love to blame his team. Just like this game:

                                                                https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3290198489

                                                                Our AM has a 16mins tread, 23mins fury? That's so slow. He never help his team, let his lane push the tower with no contest, and feeds early game. We always go "4v5" to give space to our AM.

                                                                Luckily I was good, after all that time he catches us the farm. And he carried us to victory.

                                                                Shou

                                                                  BLINKING AND SLAMMIN

                                                                  Shou

                                                                    @ayase
                                                                    23 min is fast compared to the 40 min bf void I had to carry

                                                                    Jacked

                                                                      There's a lot you can learn from watching the game. I didn't really focus on what the other team was doing cuz I was looking at his perspective. The enemy team was doing really well. Well if i recall they got 2 lanes of rax wiped really early.

                                                                      A lot of small decisions he made I didn't think much about but they added up. A lot of close calls and important decisions that maybe a lesser player would not have made that basically kept the game on the edge and brought it back.

                                                                      He had good manta and bf timing despite a lot of pressure early and was already prepared to go 3rd item bkb and just in time to win a fight. You can see how he decides to fight or farm (cutting waves keeping farm up even though the game looks like it's over to get important item timing) and the line was really really thin.

                                                                      Этот комментарий был изменён

                                                                        i watched that game and i saw nothing, just an average high mmr am game

                                                                        Jacked

                                                                          Well the game was already over. This is just an example of how you win incredibly difficult games as an am. He made a lot of crucial and important decisions that a lot of lower mmr players would not have made.

                                                                          It's nothing special obviously. Just a lot of small decisions that turns a lost game. If it were something spectacular like a 5 man manavoid rampage stomp at 20 min the title of this thread would be very different

                                                                          CUTNPASTE

                                                                            offlaner

                                                                              Player 368673122

                                                                                most ppl just hate am cause when the team's wiped there's nothing to do but look at the one guy alive, being am and i can imagine there'd be frustration esp when they've only been dying with no kills

                                                                                perfect example would be burning's recent performance in kiev major
