vanguard vs mekansm i like both but...

Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 11:17 pm

and why not love mekansm?? if you have the mana to use it, it's a tanking item, and many times a life saver, @ about the same price as vanguard

vanguard .... meka
Price: 2275 .... 2434
+5 HP regen/second .... 3 HP/sec regeneration aura
65% to block 35 damage .... +5 All Attributes +5 Armor
+250 Hit Points .... Gives 2 bonus armor and heals 250

you decide

for a second, I thought you were going to convince us that we should get both

@topic it depends if you have the mana to use the Mekansm

str heroes, who usually don't have large mana pools can't use the Mekansm as much as they could so Vanguard is a better item on them

as for Int heroes who have plenty of mana, they can choose either option, this choice will come down to personal preference, for example, i get Vanguard on Krobelus but I get a Mekansm on Dazzle, that's just how I play

You like both BUT WHAT? . .

what's your point?

you like Mekanism more?

it depends on what hero you're using and what situation you are in . .

the only variable is mana, and yeah sometimes you just can't spare any, but when you can, just go for meka, it is way better

@ bish i tought i made a comparisonbetween 2 survival items

Errr. .

i don't think they are comparable IMO . .

it's like Pancakes vs Eraser . .

ehehe . .

because they are different in many ways . .

Vanguard is more of Single hero added bonuses

while Mekanism is more of a support item . .

IMO . .

LMAO =))
well it is a 5v5 game, but even in 1v1 they are close as value, unless a mana-starving hero, in that case i admit vanguard is good better

Meka is not an tanking item,it's an support item and the only hero that uses it not to support,but to survive,is meepo (in my oppinion)
Vanguard is the tanking item here and more heroes can make better use of vand than meka...
