    what's with all the jugg's maelstrom? Seen it in my pub games and watching streams or just through dotabuff guides section. Because illusions get the attack speed or what?

      Cause it is a amazing item, accelerate your farm early game, and the attackspeed is amazing on jugg, especially in the ult.

        push, attack speed for his ult and well turns into good old mjolnir for even more attack speed for push and his ult

        Rain

          it was always an alternative build, now it got more popular

          Cheap Laugh Guy

            His low BAT goes good with it
            A cheaper Battlefury with more fighting power

              meta coming from recent competitive dota where it was used exclusively to catch up in farm with the enemy carry with higher creep killing capacities, like am or luna

                wasnt jugg already naturally fast farmer?

                TripleSteal-

                  how does he farm fast (assuming u dont get a bf)? with omnislash?

                  u=challenger

                    Actually that've been good choice in 6.88, but in 7.01 its one of the best item for him
                    Farm boost
                    Illus now have attack speed(we all going manta on jug)
                    diffusal nerfed so its not now item for 100% matches

                      juggernaut has the lowest BAT ingame

                      low BAT = more attack speed from attack speed related items. Items that give agility also counts

                        was an alternative build focused on omnislash power.. now in 7.00, the game accelerates a lot, thats why suddenly Maelstrom is better than BF, cuz is cheaper and have similar effect (about faming and killing, not literaly)

                          manta illusions get the ias in addition MJ is a fantastic item in general and on jugg

                          Hajak

                            I always go Mjollnir on jugg and never bf which to me made more sense because of his BAT and it procs during omnislash unlike the battlefury. Now that its no longer a attack modifier you can get mask of madness and skadi.
