Does anyone know if the server issues are only occurring on the SEA servers?

I'd definitely place my bet on Alliance since they're playing on home turf. But upsets might happen so there's a bit of risk in that. As for the latter, it's agreeable that Na'Vi are favored?

It's really dependent on which lane you choose to go, and which build you're going for as well.

If you do go mid (which most invokers do) then you'll wanna opt for the quas exort build. Your bread and butter skills would be cold snap and forge spirits. You'll most likely win mid lane and secure a strong mid game for your team unless if you're going up against an OD which would be a difficult matchup for invoker. Normally for middle lane after getting my null talisman and brown boots, I try to get midas before 9 minutes, for experience sake, the gold you get is good too. After that you'll wanna get an eul scepter for the ever-so popular euls- sunstrike- meteor deafening blast combo which in my opinion is one of the best if not THE best 1v1 combo in the game.


If you choose to go to the sidelanes, then it'll be better if you go for quas wex build ( quas exort is still viable but you'll have less escape spells at hand like ghost walk and tornado.) You won't really be outputting a lot of damage due to the absence of exort but you'll have a good initiation spell in Tornado and cold snap is always useful .


Also, always aim to get Aghanim's on invoker as the 2 second cooldown on invoke at level 17 is definitely useful!

Once you get 4 points in both exort and quas, you'll be able to summon 2 forge spirits which would help greatly in procing cold snap.
