Loda, Naga Siren, and Teamfights

Yo my man Loda, I'll make this simple and short. This is a little reminder/advice/analysis about your Naga Siren and teamfights (only), in relationship with game 2 vs Navi.

Your Naga lost vs Navi's Huskar in teamfights. Casters said your Naga wasn't strong enough to face Huskar. I disagree. Your 6 slot Naga should be good enough to fight the 6 slot Huskar, but you didn't use the right method.

What you did on the crucial lategame teamfights: you use Manta and send the 2 illusions to attack grouping Navi heroes = illusions die fast. After some seconds, then you use Mirror Image and send the 3 illusions to do the same thing = illusions die fast. This didn't effectively delay their march nor weakening them. By the time your hero must fight, you often don't have any illusion with you. It's clear for them which one is the real Naga, you get focused easily and killed fast.

And at only 100% damage output + 1x mana burn, you didn't do nearly as much.

A better method: you use Manta and Mirror Image at the same time, then your hero and the 5 illusions move in unison (1 group) to fight and focus one someone. Navi wouldn't know which one is the real Naga. All they see is 6 Naga Sirens at full hp, meanwhile, Huskar has no cleave. He can't tell which one is the real one without help. And the 5 illusions do 186% of your hero damage, your damage output would be 286% in total, plus the 6x mana burn. With confusion element, this is clearly the full combat prowess of Naga Siren.

If the enemy Slardar and Nyx use their area stun, they will quickly know which one is the real Naga and focus on her. But your illusions will not be focused and can last long to do lots of damage. They hit harder than your hero! And your hero was tanky, they can't kill her fast. And Dazzle can grave you too.

Think about it. Naga Siren is a monster, I want you to unleash her true strength in teamfights and perform well to get TI6 invite. I want you to win TI6. Don't disappoint me. In other words Loda, git gud.

:P
