General DiscussionOD Rod of atos

if u need lit bit more survivability go for it but the item not that great

Its good, but wont you go force for the mobility? so you can hurricane after.
Atos is pretty good, it gives you more mana early game, and dmg(orb), plus the hp is good on OD.

rod of dos catos

Od atos in low mmr games is unstoppable, where ppl just run instead of casting spells, 60% slow is stituationally game breaking.

these days hurricane pike seems to be the go to

I go treads, drums, hurricane pike, blink/bkb (order depends), hex, moonshard.

Eh, hurricane pike much more useful. Rod is just an okay item, but for the price there are so many items that are more useful

its not good, you want other more late game items like hex/shard/bkb/ac after your drum pike not another cheap mid game 3k item

This 5k player is ranked #7, the highest of any non-pro OD player. He's got 5k OD games, builds atos basically every game.

I've incorporated elements from him and some other high ranking OD spammers into my mid 3 shit games.

Runs him only safe lane, with midas as first item. Typically go PT, Hurricane pike and Atos in that order. I never get drums which are crap after the nerf imo, but I'll get a veil sometimes if the armor is needed. Then typically blink, hex, moonshard, shivas, sometimes bkb/linkens.

I'm not claiming to be an expert on OD or a good dota player, but it's been working out quite well for me so far. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/349856032/matches?hero=outworld-devourer
