Rogue Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi guys, I've been trying unorthodox builds on boros recently that revolve specifically around bola and manipulating positioning. I just want to hear what you guys can come up with :). If you're going to suggest a build not only make it revolve around the bola but it must be able to have some chance of winning a 1v1 or killing someone. Also my build (currently testing) is: Culling saber +2hp pots (I like to farm a lot early game), miners goggles, lost treasure, impact dial, warp shard. Then im wondering whether to get lockbox or go straight for nitrogen + grav etc. Feel free to comment on my build as well. Thank you for any suggestions made.

Rogue Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Boros always has good one on one. This little thing called omnislash Lockbox? Vortex? Cloak? Burrow? They all stop omnislash. Besides I'm asking for a build around bola not whether omnislash makes boros a good 1v1 or whether I wanted a spell damage boros guide. I'm not trying to attack you but it isn't what I'm asking for.

If you really want to go full troll bola maniac, get both dial and LB. If you are decent with bolas you'll be able to land some crazy ones. If they are behind a creep wave, stand at a 45 degree angle, LB, bola towards them, then dial parallel to the creep wave so that your bola connects. Pretty fun to get bolas no one expects.

Rogue Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks for that gino :) Any suggestions to my build that I could add or improve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENLORDZ Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Start with impact dial, then get phantom menace, proceed with lions bane, just for fun bola:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarXX Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 impact dial, warp shard should be all youll need to dance with bolas. i dont get lockbox solely on principle. nothing unorthodox about bolas now, it has a max pull range. not as fun unlike before.

Moo Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I saw a drake on NA who went lions bane, phantom menace, and 4 silver souls. Pulled me from my tier 3 to river, and I think he coulda gone farther if he timed everything better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indo Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 no offense but... Any build that involves LB means you accept to sacrifice dmg in order to equalize your lower heromovement or gameskills lmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 no offense but... Any build that involves LB means you accept to sacrifice dmg in order to equalize your lower heromovement or gameskills lmo I disagree, I think it means that you are sacrificing damage for a higher utility and chance of landing your damage and other effects.

Lios Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Lockbox help both you and your teammate in these case : - Dodge Cain's ult - Dodge Gara combo - Dodge Drake/Boros pull and ult - Survive Zera bubble - Micro blink in.... Suck it ! And many more, dodge also every single damage thing on Aeon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxHaven Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Lb range got nerfed so it is a little riskier for boros to walk into that range now specially if enemy has Stun or silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeRWiN Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Lockbox I personally dont use and as mentioned I think impact dial is better. Personally I think that's a important slot wasted with little benefit. Let me explain alittle, in my mind for my style of game and play it serves little purpose for me. Impact dial provides escability, INT, armor and is fair for the price. Not to mention allows bola manipulation as gino stated. Pure bola build, not basing on kills and being an iniatiator with bola id say; machette, lost treasure, culling saber, phase cloak, impact dial, phantom menace, (not in that order nenecessarily) and build into whatever you want to augment your build later. Talents id run with this are: weapon damage (aids in last hitting), health, energy, time scale, move speed and wealth I think that is well rounded for maximizing bola as well as 2 escapes, agi, move speed with sustain and farming abilities for early before you go bola ganking. I don't use lockbox but if you feel it's right for you add it somewhere or replace an item to your choosing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANARCHY Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 no offense but... Any build that involves LB means you accept to sacrifice dmg in order to equalize your lower heromovement or gameskills lmo if its 1v2 and u LB the tank then proceed to omnislash the squishy its quite the opposite, 100% of your hits will land on 1 hero and not the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
