It's purely a situational item. And when I state situational I mean it with extreme prejudice. Team revival during early ganks are much more important than vision when buying a few flares/mines can offset that as you'll also likely have available item slots early on. I never buy Contraption but I'll go for Stormguard Banner first thing, then either rush Fountain or Pauldron while keeping steady supply of mines/flares. My teammates love me. Also, stubborn noob support trying to...

well, if you have Taka on your team, you've already lost.

So without giving you all the stats or read-heroic-perk BS peptalk, here's the real in game scenario: Vox Crystal damage output mainly relies on his ult, especially if you have Broken Myth. It does massive massive damage to other laners or anyone squishy. Basic attack doesn't do shit tho. However, if his ult misses, he can easily be bursted down. If you like to kite people you should get WP. If you like to jump in a gank and do some massive damage right away, go for CP.

Thank you. This guy knows what he's talking about.

To quote a fellow SA player from another thread: "First off, contraption and warhorn altogether are wastes of money. Do your team a favor and buy fountain of renewal as your first item. It's much more worth it to revive your entire team than to lay down a couple of expensive mines or get a short speed boost." Oh, and I also LOVE how the noob Cathrine goes for Contraption & Fountain first when enemy has a Saw, Glaive, or Krul. It's so sad because they have absolutely...

do you even need to ask Contraption suck balls. Yea, go ahead and buy it if you know your team's gonna lose and enjoy spamming mines around your last two standing turrets. IF I had to choose, War Horn >>>>>>>>>>> Contraption, period. Must-get items for EVERY support: Fountain Crucible Storm guard Banner (early game) Boots Everything else is situational. Clockwork or Aftershock helps if you're Cathrine but if you go for Aftershock,...

It's the most useless item ever. If you buy it as support you're a noob. Your teammates will hate you for it. No one at Hotness or above buys that crap. Waste of gold.

Oh please, you give me too much credit with your pointed assumptions. If you hope to not be misunderstood with your words, then perhaps you should phrase yourself more carefully instead of putting the blame on others. It isn't really much of an effort to be an ass, on the contrary it comes quite easy actually - especially when replying to condescending pompous pricks like you. See, the difference between you and I is that at the very least, I admit that I'm an ass on this forum and...

axe someone to whack you in the head with a baseball bat, nice and hard but not too hard so you don't go into concussion. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t537/Dan_Barrett_Floyd/iseedeadpepl01_zps323e0a0b.gif

You've noticed my rant and actually made a point to reply. How nice of you... So, is your reply suppose to be, like, funny or sarcastic? Because it's pretty lame if that was all you could come up with.
