In modern MOBAs, you need stats, actives, and BKB. In DotA 1 (specifically the late 6.8x versions), raw stat stacking bypasses diminishing returns. Why?
Best on: Drow Ranger, Bone Fletcher (Clinkz), Viper Why it’s hot: In 6.83, Agility gives armor and attack speed. Six Wraith Bands = +36 Agi (+36 damage for Agi heroes, +36% attack speed, +6 armor).
