Does anyone have a good tip how to initiate a teamfight as Earth Spirit and survive after that? Because recently I have found that I roll in, slow, silence but then get killed almost immediately afterwards. My team often wins those engagements but I feel it is not because I played well but more so that enemy team just throws everything at me and are left with no spells to counter incoming allies. I suspect this won't work for too long my enemies stop mindlessly throwing their abilities on supports like that.
Best advice we can give is to consider itemisation that helps you survive. Meta build in 7.35 was Vessel, Shiva's and then Eul's into BKB so you could roll in drop Magnetise + Shiva's + Vessel a target then Eul's to buy time for your roll out. Meta seems to be switching away from support ES and back to mid ES though where build is tending to lean Treads Blademail then looking to items like BKB, Kaya & Sange or Sange & Yasha then luxuries depending on what your team needs Other thing to consider is that instead of rolling into the center of the fight: roll on to a hero at the edge, cast Magnetise on them and then use boulders to proc it to the rest of the enemy team. That way you're less likely to have everyone get on you and chain control you and can actually survive and leave
Tried the Veil - It's REALLY good. IMO way better than Urn in most cases
Yeah Veil is crazy good value. Especially when your team lineup naturally provides a lot of magic damage too. Super effective snowballing item
