You rush linkens for no reason every game, even in matches where the only targeted spell on the enemy team is battle hunger and cull, you go a different skill build every single match for some reason and it just looks like you allot your skill points randomly.
I will just give advice for you based on MY EXPERIENCES
weaver offlane have high potential for contesting safe lane yes, he can be your third carry, yes.
But the point is, offlane is a role for iniitiator, or generally tanky offlane that provide vision and open the path for your mid and safe lane to deal damage.
With you picking offlane weaver, the path for war have been closed.
Sure you can get farmed, but your team cannot get any initiation. Especially for High ground
TL:DR: you are doing great at contesting safe lane. But Weaver is not good for teamfighting
Weavers who rush linkens deserve to be reported.
To scale properly into the mid/late game, you need to get items that give you a lot of strength/agility. You main goal is to kill people in the back line and use your first skill to cancel blinks, provide vision and to help your team in team fights.
I usually build diffiusal as the first big item for Weaver because of the agi that it gives to you and mana burn(together with the talent, you become a mana burn machine). The rest of the items are situational.
As Marshall said, you build linkens for no reason every game.
Just use your brain for a minute, don't strictly follow the shitty guides and ask yourself: "Why am I building this item for?"
As per your games you go linken the first item often that's what you are doing wrong as per my opinion you can try the build i make and see if it makes any change to your winrate and you win more games.
1.Boots
2.Aquila
3.Diffusal/desolater (can make any which ever possible to make faster as per gold)
4.Bkb/Linken (either 1)
5.Butterfly/daedelus/mkb (either 1 or 2 as per late game)
6.Situational items like (hurricane pike, orchid, skadi, Scepter, manta, Assault, Mjollnir or Radiance)
Do not build linkens if u don't need it, even if u do, get it after ur lance or diffusal or first core item
Mjollnir is a good item, generally try not to build too many tanky items, just build an ass load of dmg, and a bkb or linkens whichever one u need, if u need neither then that's even better. Take 12 strength also. Skip boots if u don't need them.
OK , understood. Thank you for advise, I really appreciate it and yes the point taken. last game I tried the build you advised and result was great.
and yeah I know my winrate is shit but I still love the game :)
Thank you all again.
btw linken last time was for bloodseeker. but if you ulti after he ruptures you, that that remove the rupture effect too ?
If u ulti after rupture and move too far away u'll take retarded dmg
Bs is rather good against weaver
Linkens is needed, then I'd go diffusal maelstrom orchid mjollnir bloodthorn or smth
definately not an expert, although i'm fairly sure that weavers role in this current metagame follows a similar path to how fanatic plays him (EE). Weavers strength is usually due to his Mobility and 'space creating' abilities, alot of players like to 'space take' and play him like a 'medusa' style of perma farming, splitpushing carry.
while that playstyle can still work, i firmly believe that in general you want too essentially 'perma fight' or 'cut creep waves' just be a neusance because in the majority of games it'll require multiple supports and a core to kill a weaver, which grants alot of space to your other cores.
Treads Aquila d lance blight stone early game
Next big item linkens/diffusal/desi depending on their lineup
Max bugs after shukuchi
And use them
Fight only when u have it, if u whiffed bugs then wait for them to come back off cd

Hi all,
can I please get some advise on what I am doing wrong with weaver ? I get kills, usually a good amount.....but I cannot win the game since I die too quickly and the core players die right after! I am not balming anyone or try to say I am better.
I just need help from experts.
