General DiscussionSkywrath viability in competitive

well.. it obviously needs set up has a decent silence can be OK to harass offlaners out of lane is an OK mid..

Needs arcane boots, allies help with that too. Very shitty against heroes that can get up close and personal like clock (though it's kind of a double edged sword), centaur, PA etc. Is quite good in a multi-core lineup in my opinion since the cores get more attention. He also needs stuns in his team to ensure a good ulti.

Well they got H4nni who played ES and did most of the set-ups for the ult.

^ exactly. He really needs A LOT of set-ups , so it something he can work. Although, his biggest weakness, is that he dies in 2-3 hits. Not funny.

still waiting to see sky + pugna combo

I feel like skywrath is only drafted for his silence against heros like storm or weaver. His ulti isn't a skill that most teams like to draft around because it's pretty unreliable with items such as BKB / Forcestaff.

insta click silence is really powerful, is more powerful as a support than a lot of mids are for the first 15-20 minutes of the game, sure he needs setup but thats not really uncommon
