-Izzo- I have no idea what you are talking about. Soul reaper, defiler, and accursed on the same team is a great lineup. You got the 2 int tank/carries with one of the best single target support heroes in the game. Armadon fits into that b/c hes also a tank, and he adds to the aoe that they already have. Soul reaper won them that game not armadon lol where you even watching?

Imo you guys lost b/c of items. They had a barrier idol and astrolabe and you guys had nothing for team support items. Imo corrupted should have made a barrier instead of helm. Elder paresite was a bad choice on hammer who was doing enough damage. Just needed to get beefier your damage output was fine. They had to much aoe for that item imo. Try going for a nomes next time d shaman. Instead of one of those bracers you could get a major totem and be part of the way there.

Great game though and really nice job w/the ganks and tp's early.

Seems like 5 went with pity damage formation( Soulreaper's aura, and 5-sec cd heal/damage skill, Accursed's shield, Amadon's spike, defiler's ulti, glacius's ulti.v.v.v.) and you guys fell for it.

I think focusing on Soulreaper was the best choice. His heal and aura was too aweful. At the beginning, u guys just left him alone, but when u guys started to focus him, it got better, although it was too late. I agree with stickyrolls, a barrier idols for legion team should be good against pity damage dealers.

I love the combo hammerstorm+demented shaman. -armor and hammerstorm really works well at the beginning. But when the game was dragged on, DS eventually used his ulti kind of wastefully.

I diagree with Stickyrolls. Its was Armadon that carried them to victory, simply because of his massive farm and ability to stay and dps the top rax while tanking all the damage from the heroes, and at the same time get some kills. He was litteraly unstopable at that point, and that was why they conceded. (also because they had 2 rax down!)

This game was just a solid showoff from my favourite 5 player: Levent`, and I really hope he'll be back among 5 again soon. He's such a powerhouse and a great player, and really needed back in their lineup now that so many teams seem to be on the same level as them. He was the dominant factor in this game, and also in the time where 5 won everything.
