Shadow Realm Aghs Question
Aside from giving myself cancer, when using aghs on dark willow to attack with magical damage, users with blade mail reflect the (MASSIVE) damage I deal. Even with octarine core and 10% spell lifesteal, I can kill myself very easily. I tried bkb too but is there anyway to negate blade mail?

Blademail returns the type of damage dealt. Since you're dishing out a ton of magic damage with Willow's aghs, BKB is your best bet. You could also build a Pipe of Insight + Glimmer Cape to reduce some of that damage in the event BKB is on CD. Both of those together should give you at least 30% magic resistance, plus the flat out damage block from Pipe's active.

EDIT: To stop Blademail completely, get a Nullifier and cast it on him before he uses it. Nullifier mutes your target, and slows them by a significant amount briefly every time they take right-click damage for the duration. This is a much more expensive option however, as it costs 4700 gold. If you have Aghs, you should be looking to end the game shortly after, and won't have time to farm for this unless you're up against a mega campy comp.

Thanks for this! Although BKB doesn't stop the damage being reflected, for some reason

Dark Willow's Shadow Realm deals bonus magic damage in addition to your auto attack damage. The physical damage will not be negated by BKB, and will still deal damage to you from blademail.
