1. stop buying mekansm, rofl
2. bs is also bad
3. buy atos every game
4. after atos (or before..) buy 1-2 of ghost/force/glimmer/aether
5. buy aghs
I used to make mekansm when i started the game haha i used to spamm him and also made mekansm on every hero just because, even WK (just noob things xD)
Gonna try it here, thanks man :)
yep atos is a must have item for sky and never skip the lens! Sky goes out of mana quickly so always drop your int items before using arcane sanctuary or bottle
and always remember skywrath starts off with 0 armour
Arcane Boots
Aether Lens
Rod Of Atos
Aghanim's Scepter
I really wanna get off that Aether Lens though because raw mana triggers me especially on heavy casters like Sky and Lina who have high INT gain. They just run out of mana after one combo and shrines isn't enough to heal them full.
Can you try drums and euls? I build that on Lina now and I can stay in map longer to give pressure. Maybe replace euls with atos on Sky.
Why is there two supps on each team in SA server NS!?!?!??! Sounds like heaven there.
Ahahahahaha far from heaven, there are usually a lot of junglers. The only thing i rarely see here is two cores on the same lane, people are kind enough to change to support when someone picks a core (or just run a legion jungle ;P)
I think SA is not much into Ranked (never met anyone with high mmr/very competitive, but i'm still noob so...). People just play for fun still wanting too win, i think it's that.
Anyway, thanks for the tips guys :) gonna try it, no more blood stones lol
Support/roamer
delaying atos for aether lens is pretty damn stupid imho, although people do it apparently
I only play skywrath at mid and while i'm playing on party!!
I think he fits best at mid and as a roamer or duo lane with someone at offlane than as a support
1.You should stay in safelane and babysit your carry
Arcane Bolt is the best zone out skill you can have, spam it with Clarity on the lane enemy no mercy and be aggressive to harass them with attacks along CD if they retreat, now that creeps can't cancel your clarity it's better
Support Sky is 1-1-3-1 at lvl 6 but you can always try 3-1-1-1 if the silence is not crucial counter to anyone.
You know how to stack and pull right?
2. You are not a hard ganker but the king of zone-out for sure, so after a kill in safelane and your carry is comfortable to be left alone, you try to maneuver mid night time from behind, you try it with 10% commitment because you're paper and cannot afford getting too close, if failed, just help your mid zone out the lane opponent using Arcane Bolt again.
Sky is all about harassing and zoning out for me.
With the new shrines I don't know if this playstyle still works but yeah...
I usually rekt early game roaming around, babysitting is just a starting 7 minutes thing for me because safelane carries are usually passive heroes. It would be a waste to stay with them.
3. You're getting much useless the later in game and have to stick with some teammates. You must get atos before they get a BKB if not that's just too bad you're gonna lose, open the support item tab and see what's suitable for the situation.

Lens is the 4th most bought item on the hero!! because you fucking shouldn't skip a lens on skywrath haha!! Maybe i feel so because I play core skywrath only
my reason for not skipping the lens is that added 220 cast range for rod and concussive shot is really good!
^Look at the 5k guide pro games. They hardly get Aether at all, because Sky doesn't need that cast range, they're all just nukes and light disable, if you cast it from afar, enemy will notice and just run away. Thus atos solves all that problem. Is 1100 range not long enough?
But personally, I do get Lens because of Arcane boots mana heal. Put down lens, mana, pick up lens, extra 50 mana I think?
Oh, I forgot. You can babysit mid for one creep wave so he can get some last hits and have a nice start. Then babysit safelane. Cons is...
Your safelane carry might die
Thanks for the tips guys :)
I Just won a game, even though we won in the picks haha
What about bottle? Seens nice in a roamer, specially in this patch
