    I think instead of vanguard you should go drums.

    That is, if you want to play early-game anti mage.... But I don't see the problem with buying power treads/PMS/Magic wand and going into battlefury... you can easily fight with those starting items. tread switching agi for wand use helps too. (Gives you ~25-100 more health)

      idk, drums do get his dmg and manapool up, but his tankyness is way worse. Vanguard makes AM much much more tanky than drums. I don't see why people don't build bfury on AM after vanguard tho, i mean Bfury is not only a farming item on AM but also his main push for ratting in case shit goes south.

        drums is bad for a hero who pop in and out of the jungle he needs a form of sustain

          not entirely, if you position yourself properly and wait for your time to use your ult decently then you can get away with being squishy. Drums isn't the worst shit ever, but i would go vanguard over drums, since it allows u to go more yolo.

            This reminds of the old days YOLO axe with 2 vangs :)

              Never seen axe with 2 vangs, sounds nuts though.

                it was b4 the Great Vanguard Nerf

                  2 vangs sounds like a low priority game to me.

                    Trust me axe used to stack vanguards in pubs

                    TripleSteal-

                      it was more than 5 years ago tho
                      done it myself a lot

                        Well ye i've been only playing since late 2013 (started in november) so yeah don't know much about the vanguard stacking, tbh it's still a good item IMO.

                          VANGUARD IS A BAD ITEM
                          why would you want to buy bad items man, not cool

                            Is it bad on bristle too? I feel like with a level 4 Bristleback he doesn't really get any physical autoattack damage when attacked onto his back, if he gets vanguard early.

                                      Man of Steel, that's not the reason.
                                      It's because you're bad, that's the reason.

                                          You're in normal skill with below 50% win rate

                                                              You need to step up your game buddy, try insulting my parents or something like that you dickhole because all I need to know is that you are building a vanguard on a fucking antimage to know that you are some 2k mmr trash that got to high skill bracket by accident just to fuck everyones game up
