    is buying aether lens before blink on heroes like lion and nyx game-throwingly bad?

    My gut is telling me you lose a shitton of initiation potential, but the benefits of aether lens are so huge and the buildup gives regen

      depends on the situation , if the game is one sided go for a aether lens . if the team need help with initiation get blink

        You dont need it on either of these heroes. Aether lens handy if You want to not commit too Much. Regen doesnt matter. I think it Is a really bad item on lion and a decent one on nyx.

        Its really good on heroes That want to stay away from their ennemies like Zeus (or drow with dragon lance). It isnt an issue for nyx and it isnt That much of an issue for lion.

        I only build on core because i think That its way too expensive for a support, it gives no utility. Sometimes its good in ultra late.

          When you build Aether Lens your team loses the mana boots, this could also be an issue.

            You don't need blink on Lion, but it's very nice.

            And building aghs first or even a day-genn works depending on the game.

            Then ForceStaff/Blink. Usually both us ideal for that aghs.

              the extra range is quite helpful on those heroes, not to mention the spell damage increase is equivalent to that of 80 intelligence.

              I'd also like to hear some expert opinion about OP's question.

                Aether lens on bane , cm , zeus really good

                dunce

                  99.9% blink is better
                  200 vs 1200 extra initiation range for same cost lul

                    Blink since u can initiate. Other supports without need for blink usually get wether. Except ogre. Ogre can get aethsr

                      the only good thing about lens comparing to blink early on support heroes is that you don't need to save up 2250 gold and not dying

                      blink is better for initiation for lion and also serve as escape if you can avoid damage for short brief

                      i think that aether lens is great on offlane nyx thou but i don't know about its timing (before blink/agha or whatever)

                      still you need some star-dude opinion about your question cause it is defiantly better than mine.
