General DiscussionRant about zeus

Blink isn't a primarily defensive item
He also has needs like Mana, and sustain
If u want a defensive item like that pick up a force or euls
Blink is for being aggressive

My point still stands, you would think some sort of dash item would be like the VERY first item you get and yet it isnt

Because he doesn't need it that early
His incredible range means not every lineup will be able to get at you, and even if you need a defensive item like that, you usually want an earlier item like veil Kaya aether etc to help you kill in the early game. You won't need a defensive item until team fights start or your outer t1s die and you became easier to flank in the backlines. You are probably also not positioning as well as you should be (a common problem I feel that one as well)

If you feel like You need more "escape" before you can increase your damage output to a certain level, Zeus is not the Hero for you. either change your style of play (positioning, rotating, etc), or pick a hero that fits your style of play.

Yeah you're right i know for a fact im very fond of weaver and faceless void

I believe zeus primarily played far on the back line, thus the only way you dead before your teammates dies, as a zeus whether you are ridiculously positioned yourself or the enemy pick you off guard alone, for defensive measure i prefer eulor force staff rather than blink, zeus need mana regen and mana pool, blink does nothing for 2250 gold

Usually you wanna start out with smaller items like veil arcanes -> aether lens and after that you need to not make a mistake that every single guy below 4k (and maybe even some above) make when playing zeus, and that is BUILD A DEFENSIVE ITEM. You need to be able to indentify which one is going to be the most helpful in the situation you're in. Euls, force or blink. Sometimes you need 2 of these. After that just go Aghs, hex, octarine or whatever.
