You don't need a ward at level 1, you need a ward at 7:30 when it goes from day to night.

Okay...I've also found that it's hard to survive nomad's consistent nukes on SS. Any tips on this?

nomads e spell is broken

does like 20000 true damage + 23874 base damage

but as soon as you get level 5 you can just nuke wave>get rune>nuke wave>go take 1 or 2 camps in woods>nuke wave>etz

he wont be able to kill you alone

I usually get pressured out of lane making it hard to get bottle, especially with all the gold going to regeneration items for his nuke
In fact, I've found that I have a harder time than usual vsing nomad in mid with a ranged hero....

farm for a diffusal blade

when he illusion attack, diffuse it, illusion is gone

o...well I wish I could farm that much before level 5 but I suck.

I think the problem is once nomad pressures me out of lane, he can start getting some runaway farm. With some early damage items, his e nukes + ridiculous base attack speed burn my non solo teammates.

e; feels like there are some really one-sided matches when playing ss?

i find ss vs tb to be really easy unless he gets some insane luck, aka running on a rune missing 4 creeps and he bottles up and regen rune
but any matchup mid is nearly impossible when they get insane runeluck

that feel when you stomp the shit out of someone, they use all their regen items then happen upon a regen rune
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

or when your un upgraded courier is making it's way to the longlane with 1 ward / 1 tango / 1 manapot/ 1 gg branch while you're sitting mid with bottle and boots in stash

and you lose runerace coz he got his bottle n boots and from that point you lost entire mid

Just played a 12-0-9 ss @ 34 mins had geo boots pk shrunken and icebrand.

1500-1600 range. Lawl.

Went mid vs bottle nomad and just ripped him up.
