HR should not allow this matchup.

5 minutes into the game, I was saying "WTF IS GOING ON?!?"

First game in quite a while, was basically laning 1v2 vs and for most of that but I managed to hold out while occasionally baiting them into bad fights whenever or any of my other teammates was around to help.

Thing is I had no idea what to build while laning against this; I opted for first since it gives both physical and magical protection (while I would normally focus on one of those two first depending on my lane opponent), and then started building into because I buy that item way too often and am pretty sure I overvalue it.

So, with that in mind, two questions:
1) Which Warrior items are good early purchases for some "hybrid" defense? Is among them?
2) How good is and should I tell myself to stop buying it regularly on Warriors?

Thanks to Janitsu for the signature!

Hey Wayne,

Wow, that Baka on your team was FED.

I think your consideration to go was appropriate, since you were facing a physical AND a magical at the same time. There aren't a lot of other choices that provide dual protections while also being functionally optimal at that early stage of the game. Other choices would sort of include:

Shifter's Shield (aggressive, and you only get the magical protection when you're below 50% health, so that's not so good)
Spirit Robe (as a 2nd item, I don't like it as much, especially because it provides no health...I usually like it mid-game or later)
Mantle of Discord (too expensive)

I left out less functional ones that technically qualify, including Magi's Blessing and (and which holy hell fell off the face of the planet).

As for , I think it's a pretty good item overall...it's got good bruiser properties, providing both power and health...but for , he does have his mink form, which provides 4 seconds of effect. If you're focusing one god, I think that should usually be enough to allow you to stick. Not that it's a bad item...and he is basic-attack oriented (with regard to damage), though you do want some CDR on him.

I'd consider Hammer more if you didn't get first...if you got an item (like ) before it that didn't have health, the health from Hammer would be more appreciated.

So in the end, I wouldn't default to Frostbound for every warrior, but it's definitely functional.

Just a ranked game. Running around being a "****".

Here is the guru page, if you feel like watching the whole thing. Went for shoguns to help out merc and cupid also ended up picking up a discord because the game went on pretty long and I needed a selfish item. Could also have gone nemian, but rama wasn't really a huge problem. I also wanted to check if Discord was considdered an aura. Dont think it was, I was drunk and it was like 7am so I can't remember :p

Bought Reinforced Shoes because the enemy laners ( Artemis/ Hercules) were pretty aggressively trying to force fights
Rushed Gauntlet of Thebes after because I figured I needed to stack it early
Realized Gauntlet stacks quicker than I thought and I probably should've gone Sovereignty first, so went for that next
Picked up Mantle of Discord because at this stage we were very much teamfighting and I was always in the middle of the action
Had zero idea what to round off the build with, so I just clicked something in the recommended tab, i.e. Stone of Binding (which, looking back at it now, doesn't look like a late game item at all).
