General Discussionstarting items for offlaners

offlaners like who exactly?

heeeeelll naw that almost 300 gold for only a bit of mov speed

ring of protection was good because you could trade better with supps and costed a little less then 200 gold

i havent played offlane since the change, i honestl dont know what to get instead...maybe always upgrade stout shield to pms now?

answer my question first guys so that i can help XD

wind lace is at 250 and is good for supp :D that is my starting item for almost all supps

centaur axe and others who need tranqils ofc

hmmm tranqs still good with that extra speed. but my starting items for centaur and axe is poor mans shield. they also need that beginning wind lace tbh. we all need that extra speed and +14 hp regen early yum yum :D

shield, tangos, 2mangos/mango salve , branch/manapot/tp
can also go for 2xtangos always depends

ring of protection for iron talon now maybe?

5 mangos and 1 kappa

I could see wind lace being a decent pickup at the start of the game in some scenarios like melee supports trying to zone you if you're ranged, but as a whole it's probably just not efficient enough to bring to lane at the start of the game.

Probably the biggest potential downside of starting with a wind lace is that you may be trading regen that will let you last hit for boots, and if your enemy gets boots before you they have as much speed advantage as you had with naked wind lace.

pretty much what the blue star guy said, u need stuff that can help u stay in lane not useless items whose only purpose is that it builds into something

All offlaners are different + it depends on the matchup.

2 sets of regen and a stout usually, then maybe some branches. A mango can replace a set of regen as an aggressive alternative, plus 2 mangos give like 4 regen which basically substitutes for regen sooo

I go either ROP+tangos+stout+branch+obs ward or tangos+boots+obs ward most commonly.
On Brood Soul Ring recipe + tangos + 2 sentries + 1 obs ward.

Noone can tell you what to buy because it depends on matchup.

^matchups and meta doesnt exist below at least 3k if not 4k if not 5k

because a useless sub 1k player would know how 2k and 3k looks like.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but even 2ks and 3ks do have their own weird meta going on. It's only your bracket that is like a Zoo you gotta be "special" to get there.

I have heard that the standard melee off lane starting items are 2 sets of hp regen and a stout shield which you will upgrade into PMS.

Damn blunt, the guy is already on his way to depression, go easy on him

u can pretty much follow the same starting items cent axe underlord etc

but for some like brood bat necro theyre a lot different

depends on the matchup actually, you need to adjust there is no such thing such as offlaner starter pack LOL!

let say you are against pa and sky and pudge.. prolly you need 8 tangoes, salve, tp and a stick

then buy stout at side shop then boots

regen tango mango/clarity iron branch. ROP/stout depedning on hero and lineup. number of regen is also optional depending on heroes and line up. last game as np i only took 1 tango 1 clarity and a tp because i was np. plus sniper was solo lul

pretty sure on a lot of meta melee offlaners who are'nt in real need of mango the shield tango salve ring of protection is the way to go so u get qb boots n magic stick maybe, then +3hp ring and send cor for talon+lace

i go pms for lc always tho

shield branches tango and mango but if you will have a spammer hero against you then get stick

talon tangoes Jebaited
