im sure its because you are not used to constantly doing thigs.
cuz thats what am is doing (always farming/pushing)
yo btw you need to have at least 10cs/min if you wanna say you played ok antimage
Well I sef would not say I am a good anti mage but my last game was 9.3 cs per min so was close to ur milestone :p
10 is a bit high... A game where the farmspace is cut off by enemy (aka many many am games), cause your team can't makeup for the 4v5 at the start proper like 7-9 cs is ok. It also depends on the time wjhen the game ends. In a 30 min game 300 cs is harder to get than 400 in a 40 min game. It also depends on your teammates. If you have sf mid and lina support, they will take quite alot farm, too. On the other hand a stacking support will help you in that cs.
10 is what you should aim for.
@Topic
Yes, playing am is exhausting. You put alot of pressure on your team ("Omfg he picked am, gg") and on yourself. You need good mapawerness and need to always think the next step ahead: "Where do I find my next creeps". Also decisionmaking is tyring ("Fight or Split?", "Who to jump in fight aka who used big mana spells") etc.
no dude its bad if you have less than 10 cs min with am, this means:
a) you suck balls with the hero
b) you had a min 300 bf
c) you feed like a retard, see a)
d) people trying to fuck you up solo so hard that they lose the game which is good i guess
e) you have naga that farms everything (naga + am in same team not too high chance of winnig tho)
if you have magnus on your team then you should quit even trying to play am if you dont have 10 cs/min.
in a game i don't have 10 cs/min it is usually d) or b) but if i don't die to often and have at least min 13-14 bf i don't see how 10cs/min is an issue
You had 15cs/min at 85 and you think it's high, how about 15cs/min at 35?

Ehh I just think I am doing more stuff per minute with am between all the blinking tread switching optimizing last hits deciding where to farm next / split push / still keep an eye out for a worthwhile teamfight / keeping an eye on enemy movements . It's fun , but I think over several games in a row my efficiently would drop doing that
going old school diffusal naga is ok if their lineup lacks aoe tho, then you can just have a braindead mid game ^_^
I feel drained when I am on a team with an anti-mage. Either he is farming well and leaving the rest of the team dirt poor and 4v5. Or he is farming badly and the team is going to need to fight with out a carry.
Also if he is the first type, I just know I am going to get flamed by him for having many deaths and little farm (even though he took all the farm, and left the rest of the team to fight at a disadvantage).
Fuck AM I cant w8 until he gets nerfed back into oblivion. Smug little shit needs to learn coexist with magic users.
a good am will splitpush lanes and farm enemy woods, so that his team always has acces to at least 1 lane and their own woods.
besides, playing a hero like am where u constantly tread switch, blink, cut trees, farm, look around the map, think where the enemy could be, do sneaky roshes and splitpushes helps you a lot to develop a sense of the game, and helps gid gud in general if younowaramsain
i actually like to play heroes that require high apm and intense hero control jsut cuz it helps me keep focused, whereas if i play viper or bh or something i can have 60 apm and still be useful in a way
^ this so much
funnily, i'm playing worse with low apm heroes because i get bored or don't focus enough and do shit
still higher CS/Min than u, sorry.
also, should point out, we were mega'd for 40 minutes. it wasn't exactly easy farm.
I play naga man and i cant play 2 games in a row as her, its painful, but feelsgoodman :P

if I have a game with anti mage where I carry my team on my back , I feel drained from it more so then from other heros due to all the constant movement , I am sure a hero like tinker is a lot worse . Like if I played 10 am games in a day I'd be pretty burnt out on Dota
