Orb of corrosion

[joRko]

Why do hard carry buy this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ item? It s 800gold..what does it give you? 13% slow and 150 hp? Every hard carry buys this.....from what I understand as hard carry you should hurry items either for farm like bf or for fight like desolator. I would understand why you would buy it as a bh support or sb but why every single hard carry out there are rushing this expensive item? I think it s waste of gold...

I wouldnt mind to have some xtra HP for the laning phase.
Not sure why every meele Carry was buying stout shield.
"Sometimes" you just need to Trade hits with your opponent

It also reduce armor that's huge. 13% slow is also the difference between hitting an ennemy non stop and having to catch him between every it or not being able to even it him at all.

I don't think every carry should buy it, but if you plan to be agressive it's very good. Totally worth a buy on juggernaut if it permits you to run down the ennemy support everytime he shows in the lane. You can get your bf afterward and it might be more beneficial both in term of xp and gold to get this item if it gets you some early kills.

It shouldn't be bought all the time, especially since they added a recipe to it, but it remains really nice on specific carries in my opinion, maybe slark, Ursa and PA for example, and it is indeed quite good on pos 4/3 like Tusk and Spirit Breaker!

I only buy it because of that slow movement speed effect. It's a good item along with Echo Sabre. Especially on a hero like MK.

This is the thing, they buy it and stay under the tower hitting creeps here and there....some people buy it just because everyone does they don t think.

Medium Legend mostly. Autopilot under that bracket those who don't follow guides seems more like oldies doing the same build every patch.

And that is why games are full 20-25 min Bf, radiance at 30 min, midas at 20, deso at 25 etc and guess what they go farm again because they have nothing else.

There is early, mid and late game items, people who rush any mid game item from min 1 are
in 90% cases reason why you lose that game.

It does slow, armor reduction, and damage per second with every hit.

Nothing wrong wit orb as early game item on a carry, i mean 1 iron branch can change a game in early game so no need to rage.


Also your last game was 4 month ago, isn't that 2 month before it's even added in game?

In terms of cost, it is a bit expensive, but during the early stages. It is very useful. 13% slow is a lot when enemy offlane hasnt bought boots/windlaces. Therefore making you easier to secure kills. Armor corruption= more rightclick dmg, and slow= chase. But, not all games/heroes is necessary to buy Orb Of Corrosion.

For example, juggernaut vs Necrophos. Necro cant do much in lane to stop jugg's farm and his w makes him more vulnerable to jugg's spin. If jug bought OOC, he could right click him to make Necro go out of xp range and kill him when he can. It is a situational item, not to be bought every game though.
