SunBhie: "It's much easier to press Pipe and Crimson in a fight"

Lee 'SunBhie' Chong Jae, coach of Aurora, shared his thoughts on the nuances of the aura meta in Dota 2 via Twitter. He discussed the strategy's reliability, noting its advantages in comparison to other item builds.

According to SunBhie, each meta has its challenges, but the aura meta is notably resilient to failure. He explained that while using Blink Dagger can be risky and lead to mistakes, activating items like Pipe of Insight and Crimson Guard during team fights is significantly easier and less prone to error. Additionally, players can always purchase these auras and activate them when needed.

Earlier, Timur 'Ahilles' Kulmukhambetov, coach of 1win, suggested that despite the nerfing of team items in patch 7.37, teams are likely to continue investing in auras out of habit.
