Icefrog is telling us something guys....

A Q/E invoker is food. They are really easy to gank, and will not escape. A cold snap will not help you survive a 2+ gank - especially if there is Chen with a few creeps or Venge with a magic missile already flying in your face. They appear to be a one-trick pony that either snowball really hard with forged spirits push and sunstrike kills, or die horribly.

To play with them, I feel the team puts a lot of pressure on the Q/E invoker to land sunstrikes and cold snap. They are very powerful tools, but the team tends to rely on them too heavily. A stressed invoker is not a good invoker.

A Q/W invoker is impossible to gank. They are always at max health, and a well-placed tornado/EMP completely neutralizes a gank - or even turns it on you. In the mid game, EMP will make it really hard to fight or push into the Invoker's team.

Playing with Q/W invoker is fantastic. They are good to gank with, the teamfight potential is great and a well-placed tornado can give you really nice pick-offs. If there is a Nyx, the enemy will NEVER have mana and WILL die to ganks.

Overall, the Q/E invoker is very reliant on snowballing and is under a lot of stress. The Q/W invoker is a more even pace of play, he is useful all the way through and also seems to have a higher skill ceiling with the availability of utility spells like tornado and ghostwalk.

why then, do people go exort? pls explain ;_;
