    why do so many low level players build desolator on literally every hero? What is it with desolator that makes people buy it so much? I've seen deso on nyx, slark, legion (i guess it could be okay on legion but theres way better items for her)

      IDK must be low level players do.

        Its a glowing red sythe called "desolator", the visual queues are pretty strong that its an item for doing damage and killing people, which most people want to do.
        its somewhat understandable that a new player would want this item without knowing if its really good for them, especially since its in the recommended items for a lot of heroes.

          U can build deso on Invo with its quas wex build.

          Imo: deso -7 armor,+damage,good price

          dead

            its visually appealing

            tb~

              i bought it because it looka cool, gives damage, and it doesnt have active since i was too lazy to click stuffs
              that was until bws bitchslapped me with his knowledge

              tb~

                at least i got rid of one the bad habits newbies tend to do quickly lol

                  i think some of low 2k believe that desolator -armor stacks you usually find 3+ people build it in the same team

                  deso is decent on lycan (push) ls (fuck all people and amplify feast) and mk (-armor their whole team).
                  not even lc shall get it (armlet-blink-blademail-bkb-ac-boot 6 slotted lc may be abyssal/mkb instead of armlet)

                  tb~

                    nah people probably buy multiple desos in 1 team because they dont cooperate and play their own game

                      cheap damage. low level players have no concept of optimal itemization. hence a cheap item that does a lot of dmg is very appealing

                        Mokondo bought eblade on AM omg noob!!!!!!1

                        Jacked

                          lul eblade can be quite nice on AM. although not optimal

                          evy

                            I was joking
                            It was a good pickup to pop linkens for abyssal

                            Jacked

                              i can see it would be nice for ult bomb

                                I once saw a guy build

                                Force staff/blink/dagon/tranquil/eblade

                                His hero was AM.

                                  If he was able to farm up all of that without losing when he was building Blink Dagger I respect him as a carry player.

                                                It's actually a good item. And the damage increase is instantly noticeable, especially against creeps, towers and low-armor heroes.

                                                Not to mention it gives your attacks a distinct sound and makes it glow.

                                                    The amror reduction at the first 20 mins is op...deso, solarcrest are op especially if u do high physical damage.
                                                    Works on pa, lc , lycan and other heroes who have almost 0 magic damage.
                                                    On slark, tiny, invo etc it aint the best bang for the buck. Faceless void deso....idk
