Talk:Essence Reaver/@comment-5160958-20140706155819

everyone hates this item, but I think its a good snowball buy (that is to say, you get it when you have already snowballed). I've found its really good at closing out a game because you can take your already existing gold and level advantage and just abuse it in a siege. I play trinity kog'maw alot, and being spammy with da ult when you're ahead is kinda crazy awesome, cuz landing ults and trinity procs and spamming ur vomit carpet (e) basically pokes champs back, wave clears, and takes towers all at the same time, and while everyone else needs to go back, you can pressure forever, only backing when you need to cash in to get even farther ahead. Its quite common that if I win bottom lane decisively, I can just buy reaver and rotate mid and push it all the way to inhibitor. Buy after that, and then do the same with bottom. If things go well, the game ends well before I need to sell reaver for a real lategame item. maybe im just having a lucky streak idk. thoughts?
