im not saying other items arent around that price, but the ones other supports get first are aether lens, atos, glimmer, force staff, urn - all have some form of utility that can help other heroes - i get diffu is a great riki item, im just not sure its a great riki 4 item if youre on a budget

im not sold on the diffu but all the others are good options, diffu is great if you stomp your lane and have $ but at 2k is a steep price for a pos 4 damage item youd prob be getting at like min 18 on average unless you just sit on brown boots - its also probably a rough lane

I think there’s a place for it - if youre playing pubs you should probably draft it late but i think itd be good against save heroes and cores that need to press buttons to be useful in fights - probably first item atos since dart doesnt exist anymore?
