Why has Hastened Fatalis not become a staple for carries?

When was added, my first though was that this item would become more staple than boots. While this is an exaggeration, I am shocked at how little carries actually buy this item.

Is it because people don't know about it? Or maybe they don't understand its value?

The first god I decided to try it on was . My first 5 games all went something like 20-1. The ability to pop and chase down any enemy with a barrage of crits seemed insane. Seems insane. Is insane.

As of now, the only gods I see being bought on are , , (Thats me, I'm the only one I see even playing ", and I'm more than surprised. Why is this item not being abused more? It effectively eliminates the punishment for basic attacking. It takes away the necessity for positioning.

Whenever I see a carry buy Sprint I always ask myself why?

I am shocked at how little use this item is getting, considering how it skyrockets carries' effectiveness.

I play Smite. I like Smite. I like to think I'm relatively good at Smite.

Lowers DPS a lot, and the passive is unnecessary with good positioning. also gives an equivalent movement speed bonus while increasing your DPS.

What Subzero008 said. Heartseeker provides a higher DPS, a higher damage done with abilities, and even higher damage per basic attack for all Hunters compared with Fatalis and/or Hastened Fatalis.

The reason you pick Fatalis or Hastened Fatalis on Freya is because she is a basic attack reliant mage. Whenever her Irradiate and Pulse are on cooldown, there is nothing she can do (other than using her ultimate, or Banish if 1v1) for the remaining 6 seconds until they're up again.

Therefore it is important that she is able to take out her opponent before they wear off, which the enormous attack speed of these two items has.

For Bakasura, it is because of his ultimate which makes his basic attacks hit further and wider, while slowing and crippling the enemies within it. It also works very nicely together with his Butcher Blades, as physical protection has no effect to its damage.

As for Vamana, I have no idea. Last time I played him was on my brothers account in closed beta. Not my type. :P

By the way, I did some quick math regarding the DPS with Hastened Fatalis, Fatalis and Heartseeker with Cupid (fastest attack speed at level 20), and Xbalanque (slowest attack speed at level 20) to make sure I wouldn't tell lies. I thought I might as well add it in here in case somebody wanted to see the differences.

Other items that I used:

's Attack Speed: 2,19 with stacked , 2,05 with and 1,78 with .

Heartseeker DPS: 959,06.
Fatalis DPS: No stacks 845,24. One stack 871,01. Two stacks 895,78. Three stacks 920,54.
Hastened Fatalis DPS: 845,24.

's Attack Speed: 2,01 with stacked , 1,87 with and 1,61 with .

Heartseeker DPS: 964,07.
Fatalis DPS: No stacks 885,26. One stack 910,35. Two stacks 935,44. Three stacks 960,53.
Hastened Fatalis DPS: 885,26.

People are starting to realize that is basically a crutch item similar to back in closed beta. If you're good enough with positioning and skill/CC usage, you do not need it.

In lower tiers and casual games, it gets bought a lot. But as you face better players, they won't be using it except on a select few gods that truly benefit from it like .

The regular is still a decent item if you can keep those stacks up, but considering and also exist for attack speed, it's difficult to really fit a into physical hunter and assassin builds due to the better power options.

Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

While you do sacrifice some DPS, ~100 is very little to sacrifice for the ability to basic attack while juking. It is much easier to 1v1 another carry if you have HF and they dont.

Heh, 100 is never too small. In LoL having a mastery of 25 health can difference between death and life
