I have to confess that joule was my the number one favorite character at the early stage of the game. However, when I reached hotness level tier, opponent starts to punch her in the face. Most of the time I doesn't feel her hero's perk doing it's job at all. Back in the days, when new players doesn't gank in jungle, joule can easily reach a higher player level and nuke the opponents easily. Right now, I start to feel that once joule becomes the target, there is no skill / item would protect...

Seriously though, this build is very weak at the early stage, facing against Hottness player or tier above this isn't gonna help. The build is slow doesn't generate enough cash and any assassin type gank joule won help much... unless facing very weak players.... my main argument would be, attack speed deficit to melee players, attack range lose to range player, it just couldn't dominate and level fast enough realistically
