    Can i pick AA as a pos 5 and first pick ? And which lane does he go and he go with who ? which combo can he do with ?
    thanks for spent time on reading this

      He's good combined with a stun so you can actually land the AA stun. Something like CK is perfect as the enemy can't escape the aoe.
      Certainly can be picked first, counters alot of cancer/cheese picks (huskar, timber, alch etc)

        Myself like to lane with slark as aa

          you can but usually its picked to counter someone like slark or alch.

          has decent harass, but if ur with a jugg it's gonna suck

            I like the hero more on pos 4. I feel like he needs a lot of mana to fully function.
            But as a "No Alche and Morph pls" first pick, he is okay as pos 5 just to shoot ice blast.

              It can be used to discourage an alche pick I guess

                ^^ People seriously overrate aa against alche . I literally find it hard to play against a good sky or treant which can just render me farmless throughout the whole game rather than stopping my regen for 10 sec in a fight . Just get back . Idk

                  ^ true, as aa player, alch always going bkb so basically without aghs u are not a big problem for him
                  but morph likes to not buy bkb at all and staying at low hp so u are his biggest nightmare

                      AA is all i used to play, first pick every time.
                      Yes, its easier laning with someone who can connect your Q, but its not a requirement.
                      Spend first minutes harassing with E, and pulling/stacking.
                      AA comes alive when he is 6, and has what can be a Global Ulty, if used correctly ; game changer.

                        yep, but is not a good Idea to play as pos 5, It would be better at dual offlane.

                          Id prefer to have an ogre or Undying pos 5 24/7 rather than AA sitting behind your back.

                              haha, i thought its just my team getting triggered with my picks

                              imagine having AA,Chen,Abaddon pos 5
