wow...such a long series of posts from the same guy...you must know everything don't you? must have lots of time since you have no life...congratulations! you are better than all of us! have a potato!

Exactly, it's in the game for a reason. I do still think contraption is a viable first tier 3 item for support. It makes you kill creeps in 4 hits or less in the early game with splash damage to boot, making your whole team earn gold faster. If done right, you could go for the 2nd support item (fount/atlas/crucible) much faster. Also, it was nerfed for the 200 hp it once had. That was the biggest secret of contraption before....too bad it's gone :)

Splash stormguard + 25% cooldown...try this with lane adagio ( or any other ranged laner) and you will be pushing lane like crazy Helps a TON with objectives Mines and flare are a bonus Default upgrade to stormguard; only consider warhorn if enemies are slippery So dont knock contraption that quickly...try it out
