    Not only the item is so fucking team demoralizing when u have a pudge or mirana who makes it. The only hero that naturally makes this item would be skywrath mage, although i always preffer a sky playing around teammates and going for a veil instead.
    do people still amke this trash item, besides bad mirana & pudge players? i feel like theres no reason to make it because most games involve a clumsy net which kinda give the same effect. not saying that the stats are not good but i really dont think the cost is relevant for the delivery of item.

      veil is pretty bad rn. atos is also not that good but probably better, could be underrated because the stats are actually kind of nice, the only issue is that its competing with items like euls which give mana regen, and its build up is questionable. there are a lot of mobile heroes in the meta rn so its stock will naturally increase somewhat.

        well im more talking about those days when sky was meta i suppose, i guess veil was stronger back then, i still think its the best first item on sky. atos intelligence doesnt result in any spell amp although it still increases the dmg with that disgusting shit hes shooting out

          veil was actually a good item back then, now since it doesnt give armor its been replaced by blademail. you're also overexaggerating the loss of spell amp to int heroes, they did not really gain as much damage from spell amp as you think. it was nice but not so big as to ruin atos or int items or int heroes in general. its more abt set up for mystic flare.

            the only one who benefited the most during the perk attributes was strength heroes

            Shou

              id say agi heroes as well, you can feel the movespeed differences on heroes like tb/morph, even jugg who doesnt always go yasha/manta or phase boots anymore, treads MoM jugg actually has movespeed issues. but strength heroes still lost more id agree.

                i think the item is good on most intel heroes and mirana ofc when u don't have a catch on ur team or a stun

                  Atos = best item on underlord

                  Sklendath

                    Atos is good on supports

                      Lol I use atos in most of my games in Jakiro. It has very good cast range compared to euls.

                        Veil no longer gives health regen and armor, so you are better off doing more damage with a dagon.

                        Shou

                          Atos underlords is definitely good I agree.

                            Atos is good if the enemy have no way to deal with it (ie: your team owned the game)

                              @dread, does it work out good? i feel like on jakiro would have the same effect as an eul scepter but doesnt offer you any survivability nor dispel.

                              miiigz

                                Atos is very good against heroes with escapes (Puck, AM, Void Spirit, QoP, Storm, ...). Also it provides +10 all stats.
