Mekansm DOta 2


I have seen pro heroes build it on heroes like Razor and Viper. Is it effective in pubs? How do I know which non-support heroes to build it on?

MekansmMekansm is considered as much better alternative to Vanguard Vanguard on ranged heroes.If you want more tankiness on range hero, you get MekansmMekansm.

  • When you have the mana pool to use it (costs 150 mana, the stats from MekansmMekansm give you +65 mana)
  • When you want to be a bit more tanky (drums or Vanguard Vanguard are the standard alternatives if you lack the mana pool for MekansmMekansm)
  • If your hero does not need another 2000 item asap (Blink Dagger Blink Dagger for example)

The very important thing to understand if you get a MekansmMekansm is this:


  • A MekansmMekansm activation at the right time wins a teamfight, thus if you have a MekansmMekansm, you have to be with your team in every fight. MekansmMekansm isn't like Vanguard Vanguard in the sense that it's only an item that makes you tankier, it is meant to save the clutch heroes in your team during team fight.
  • An example : if you play a split pushing Dark Seer (which is sometimes needed) it's maybe better if someone else in your team get the MekansmMekansm, since you might miss some fights. If you get one anyway, the rest of your team won't benefit from it most of the time, and it's most likely that nobody is going to build a second one.
  • The usual MekansmMekansm gameplan is : you get it in less that 15 min and you start pushing as a team as soon as you have it.
  • Also, you don't need a MekansmMekansm in every game, especially if you have heroes that can heal others in your team. Sometimes a urn is enough cause you have tanky heroes that can't be bursted.

As the MekansmMekansm carrier, you have to manage your mana carrefully in order to be able to use it at any time. If you have a low manapool (like Crystal Maiden) it can be better not to go for MekansmMekansm, in order to land a full combo of your spells.
 
Viper and Razor both benefit a lot from extra durability and they can both happily build utility items because they aren't heavily reliant on items the way a hard carry is, in the past the game suggested building Vanguard Vanguard for these two heroes, because they benefit both from the HP regen and durability as I said, but Vanguard Vanguard is very bad for ranged heroes, and MekansmMekansm provides both of these attributes, except better.

Some other non-support heroes that can be great MekansmMekansm carriers: Huskar , Doom Bringer, Necrophos, Death Prophet, Bristleback, Alchemist,Beastmaster.
