MEDALLION ON PHANTOM ASSASSIN in General Discussion
THICC BABY SHUM

    Give opinions, I recently seen pa with just medallion wrecking ppl and want to see what ppl think about it.

    kanye went to uni

      i tried it once 6 months ago, didn't like it ... i think it's a lot more of a situational item than that guide suggests. i can see it working if you've got extremely low farm and another rightclicker but other than that idk

        It depends on how early you can jump on people without being punished. Other than that, yes, it's useful, it gives you most of the benefits of a desolator at a fraction of the price, and a smidgen of mana regeneration. I don't know how quickly PA is capable of soloing Roshan but if you're going for as early as possible I reckon Medallion is a good pickup for that.
        Honestly Medallion is a great pickup on a lot of physical damage based heroes and is criminally underused.

          I've been experimenting with it currently (if you look at my games). I find it good if you get it early and secure kills. But if you get it and dont do anything with it or forget to use it, its a huge waste of farm. 1k gold takes you very far with PA in the first 15 minutes of the game.

            very viable, but better at 5-6k doto

            Yes a top PA wrote a guide about it. The reality is it is an early fight item. If your team mates aren't good at playing as a team (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY KILLING ROSHAN EARLY AND OFTEN) then it is not a good item.

            Do not buy this in 3k dota and dont buy it in 4k dota if your team doesn't want to get on board with your play style.

            mindfuck

              I've had quite a bit of success with medallion the last few days. Medallion, vlads and early deso make PA a beast mid game.

              HOWDOYOUGETSLICED

                waste of a slot, the guy that wrote that guide was a complete noob as well

                if you want to farm more or against someone like PL, a faster battlefury is better. if you want to fight more, better off going treads (maybe drums) + bkb (maybe hotd here) + abyssal

                medallion is just slowing down your item progression.

                I think that if you are building medallion on PA, then maybe you should have picked another hero

                "TheKid belowMeIs an ass"...

                  I play support and get it to help my PA. MeD shud be on Lycan and supports

                    go medallion rush!! if you dont its useless !!! also make sure you grab blademail and madness for the synergy

                    Jorges Sanz

                      Its decent and all if you rush it, assuming you get to use if often, only problem is you run into slot problems later on. I much rather run medallion on a hero like lifestealer who can rage away the armour reduction and go to town with feast %physical dmg.

                        It's an item that could be way better on a support as you still get the same benefit but don't spend 1k on it.

                        wei_

                          There's a lot of people who have no idea what they're talking about in this thread. Coming from one of the highest rated P.A's on db, medallion is definitely viable and extremely potent in the right hands and situation.

                            ^congrats you stack in unranked AUS games, dat fake dotabuff rating lmfao

                            You are welcome to make an argument if you want, but don't bring that crap on here

                            wei_

                              coming from a smurf who can barely keep himself over the high bracket? lol.

                                You've missed the point completely, but that doesn't surprise anyone

                                  juking DB or getting free wins is just something people are always going to do.

                                  Everyone knows the real leaderboards are solo ranked.

                                  Flat is Justice!

                                    DB rankings are as valued as north korean currency.
                                    They say its worth something, but no one trusts it.

                                    Why would a good support let the carry but a medallion.
                                    Let your carry get real items that help the fight
