lol in and out.
I find the Eldar parasite works nicely instead of Whispering helm it's toggle ability is nice for a burst of attack speed and in combination with the lifesteal it can keep you admirably alive against melee heroes. you just need to watch out if you hitting a nuke caster like Pyro or something because 20% more dmg from his spells is borderline suicide
The magebane is by far the hardest hero in the game to kill. The enemy team has to be practically all stuns. He can Blink away from puppet masters hold, Glacius' freeze, he jumps over Behemoths line area block. jumps through trees and up cliffs. It's almost inexcusable to die with this hero. Theres also no one better at chasing into a base to get that last hit and escaping alive then him.

had a magebane jump away from me and get stuck in the trees so i aoe nuked him while he could not move. Almost as funny as the time i used puppet masters ult died and watched the person i put it on attack the puppet until he died and i got credit for the kill.
He's still a pretty fragile melee hero and silencing him makes him very vulnerable. So any gank involving blood hunter, defiler, anyone with a hellflower, etc. combined with a stun/disable will be very deadly. Not to mention that blink is also his initiating tool, so disabling and focusing him immediately after he blinks into a team battle is effective.Originally Posted by brn4meplz
Meh, guides are good, but I don't really feel like writing one, i'd rather play.
I'll fix a lot of the stuff here soon-ish. Maybe make it a lot longer.
Bump for more in depth guide
soulscream
steamboots
brutalizer
warcleft
whispering helm
In that order. Stun lock who ever you want for an easy kill.
Now I'm sure if you are playing against good players they are going to try and silence and focus you. So you are probably going to need something like a shrunken head before the warcleft and everything else to increase your survivability. But if its a pub stomp don't even worry about it.
I did that yesterday...lol I was curious...
Does lifesteal (elder parasite and satanic) stack with his mana burn?
Nice guide, but why the
'option A/option B' ?
It's really not useful, it just confuses new players, like me.
It does
Because, depending on who you are facing, you might level Combustion over flash to be more offensive and flash on the hero and burn his mana, or you might want a shorter cooldown on flash if you have a hard lane and need to use it a lot.
BUT
always level Flash at level 1, that way you dont get 1st blooded while a level 1 combustion is pretty useless.
People underestimate Magebane. Blink's not the only way out. He's also got ridiculous speed, the best amongst AGI heroes.
Stun lock proves fatal for any hero and therefore saying that a Magebane is fragile under them circumstances is stupid. Any character is vulnerable against chain stuck-- stun lock.
You should consider using Shield Buckler early in the game. Helps keep levels and survivability until you can max out magical defence and ultimate.

for some reason I just CANNOT manage to NOT suck using magebane (or chronos for that matter). Hopefully this guide will help a bit.
The key is farming. Farm, farm, farm and you might eventually just pwn their entire team in a chronosphere. These heroes are terrible without sufficient farm, so you better be good with the last hitting. :P
Brutalizer has a 2 second cooldown if I recall correctly. Stunlock should not be possible.
Where do I buy stout shield. Does it go by that name? Can't find some of the stuff mentioned.
stout shield is purchased at outpost, which there's 2 on the map. One on legion side at bottom and one at hellbourne side at top.
It is also sold at the base shop, from the same category as the basic weapons and armor. Called 'Iron Buckler'.
