Mage's Blessing is a good starter item for Bocchus due to the fact that he consumes a large amount of mana. So it helps with his mana regeneration and boosts his abilities by 10 damage...and magical power by 20!!! Also after 75 stacks 10% cooldown reduction. You can use Guardian's Blessing as a substitute item for starter making Bacchus more self sustainable and beefy...plus the gold is a nice boost for getting to that build quicker. It gives Bacchus plus 100 health, 5 to both protections, 7 to both health and mana regeneration, 3 gold per minion, and after 50 stacks 4 gold per 5 seconds. Meditation cloak helps keep you main lane longer and sustain your team. (Emergencies only!) Chalices are also to help keep you main lane longer too. Sell ward for Sundering Spear Upgraded to increase the damage taken by 20% for 5 seconds.

Traveler's shoes are great for Bacchus due to again the mana consumption and helps with mana regeneration. Plus 25 magical power not mention plus 25% movement speed that's faster than the common boots of 18%. Therefore nobody will be able to out run you, catch you, and you can run down anyone you want to meet club them to death. It's all about that MEAT BABY!!!...remember that for later on...it also gives you a neat passive plus 20% movement speed after leaving the fountain for 7 seconds so that you can get back in action fast. Shoes of Focus is also good for starting the match because it gives you power, mana, and cooldown reduction. After you sell blessing to put a new item in its place, sell shoes for Shoes of the Magi for more damage output late game.

This is all the way around a great item for Bacchus due to the fact that he is already naturally beefy and it gives him plus 30 for both protections. Plus 30 magical power not to mention an awesome passive for all of Bacchus's abilities...except his Endless Drink! Bounce on your enemies and then meat club them while they're in the air...remember it's all about that meat...and if any of your team mates jump on anyone hit by your abilities is debuff by 10 protection for 5 seconds. A great time to alt...gg...you can also burp on them to stun them at the end of the burp...run up and meat clubbum...
Stone of Binding
It's all about that MEAT BABY!!! Okay this item helps him become more self sustainable by giving him plus 85 magical power, 300 mana, and 12% magical lifesteal so that you can stay main lane longer...O!!! and a crazy passive using abilities gives your next basic attack for 8 seconds plus 75% of your magical power as additional magical damage...IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT MEAT BABYYY!!!...on top of protection being debuff by 10...gg...
Polynomicon
This item helps Bacchus become even more beefier by giving him plus 150 health, 40 magical power, 60 magical protection, and a awesome aura that reduces anyone within 55 units magical protection by 10%...on top of 75% meat club and 10 protection debuff...gg...it's all about that meat...
Void Stone
This item helps Bacchus set his dominance by giving him plus 110 magical power, 15 magical penetration...stupid at this point...gg...and 10% cooldown reduction. An okay passive kill or assist on Gods reduce all cooldowns by 2 seconds...lame...
Spear of Desolation
Sell the blessing. Then sit back and enjoy the game. GG Bro! Chronos' Pendent puts you over the top and makes Bacchus unstoppable by giving him plus 100 magical power, 20 mana per 5 seconds, and 20% cooldown reduction. Plus a great passive ever 10 seconds reduce all cooldowns by 1 second...it's all about that meat...GG BRO!!! Rod of Tahuti if you just want to whip them out. Demonic Grip is another good endgame item to help the meat become more effective by reducing the opposing teams magical defenses by 10% per a meat club to the face up to 3 stacks for 3 seconds. Telkhines Ring helps the meat as well, your basic attacks deal 10 damage plus 15% of your magical power.

This build is truly all about the meat. Rundown your opponents and meat clubbum to death. This build is cheap and quick to build. Debuff and penetrate the opposing teams defenses. At the same time delivering massive damage. Have fun and don't forget to meat club between abilities. And if you want a good laugh reference the notes per item. Also please leave me a vote if you like the build. Drink and be merry! GG!!!

Gameplay: You're not the main tank. Your team needs to know your plans beforehand to go basically glass-cannon. It can work out if all 3 people go squishy, but the videos you show basically have teammates that are also non-tanks, so there's either a lack of communication or everyone is okay with 3 squishies.
But lacking a true front-liner means you have to be more careful in picking your spots to attack, which is also why
As for the videos...
- "Smite-Phoenix!? You mean meat." With full health, you hung way back behind your phoenix, allowed your
Bastet to die (yes, they went in, but you could have easily disrupted and helped them out and possibly won the fight without her having to die, so that's being a poor teammate right there...and you had your ult.)
- "Smite-It's all about that meat" At the 16 second mark of the video, you have basically full health...why the heck are you running away when your teammates are still being aggressive on the last remaining enemy?
Finally, in your videos, you're showing a good amount of kills...but your total kills/deaths/assists (at this point) is 2,755 kills, 2,810 deaths, and 4,778 assists, with a 1.83 KDA. Meaning...pretty much as many times as you're getting all these kills...you're also dying just as much (even a bit more). Dominance with a god means you get more kills than deaths on average. So while yes, you're getting kills (and arguably against lower level competition), you also die too much in a general sense. And this is where strategies like helping your teammates out (instead of waiting for them to die), getting Blink to initiate and using your ult earlier in a fight, etc., are all things that can help improve your game.I've played Bacchus a lot less than you (I spread out my god usage more), but my current stat line is 731 kills, 624 deaths, 2,616 assists, 3.27 KDA. Even when not building glass cannon every time, I'm still getting more kills than deaths. I'm not stating this to brag...I'm trying to make a point based on build knowledge and seeing the limited gameplay from your videos, that there are better ways to build, and better strategies to use when playing. You can, of course, take it or leave it, but you might try out some of this and see how it works for you...but you need to take it all into consideration, not just the build, because a lot of the success will be in HOW you play, not just what you build.
Like that Khepri has no defense yet, there's double meditation on enemy team, and they're 2 levels behind. I seriously do not know what you think is so impressive.
However the only thing the video does is draw a picture of
So honestly this video is even worse proof then the initial 2
E.g.
Also to get an idea of what damage Bacchus would like similar to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5iEADRCxyQ
The thing I do want to say is that I find the videos weak proof as your abilities did most of the killing not the meat. In your first video the same thing although the last basic attack is a better example then in your second video. And even then your belch did most of the damage.
If you want to provide good proof of this build (which in your own written text: is all about the meat), I would need to see a video where you kill several near full health opponents with mostly basic attacks, instead of dropping your full kit on them and 1 poly basic to finish them off.
