Hm nice item but i think i won't buy it.
As item for tanks this is pretty good way in itembuild.
T-up, and i won't buy this only cuz of i don't play tanks.

[Kikut]

Please, transfer the armor from Buckler to your recipe. And add a scroll of recipe to ir to avoid auto-bind or at least make it able to disassemble.

No vote now, if changes are apllied (armor especially), you have my t-up.

[Snik4er]

Good idea. T-Up

Yes, exactly as I thougt. Add it, currrently in DotA aren't that much items to upgrade armor, so this item should have armor bonus.

And done!

[Fate Trap]

T-up...

[Kira`]

maybe a good idea, but IMO vanguard is already a strong item that not needing any upgrade

anyway the concept still good, but t-null. I don't see this upgrade is needed

[tdmevil]

Anything that makes people buy more vanguards get T-Down from me.

[Lotus V Eater]

instead of absorbing the damage, why not giving them armor and increase Hp regen for certain duration...that would suit the theme of this item too...XD

The idea is to make tankers more helpful.

It would make any tank who is almost already buying one more helpful. It is about teamwork.

Because I want to make teams more dependable/helpful to each other. It is all about catering to the teamwork.

Aren't this guys 3 items basically exactly the same? do you just perfect your one idea?

Yea... I made the first item first as you can see, but thought a lot about what people said and wanted to change things up, but since there are still great conversations about the item I thought to myself that I didn't have to necessarily remove it but post all 3 because if you think of it, they would have totally different effects upon the game due to cost and what heroes they would work best for.

[Amoe]

You actually named this item after yourself? :P

I like the item, but it's really hard to balance. 10% is barely noticable in most cases, but making it more will probably kill the tanker himself or be IMBA.

[Swiftie]

Very good ideea.. t-up

[FordyShan]

Huge T-up, would make cent, axe and abba so useful...
