New Hydra is really kinda awkward...Tiamat is honestly not what it used to be, and just the recipe for hydra is 1k+ gold...for most champions who build hydra, holding onto 1k+ gold is detrimental, esp. in this snowbally meta. What's so wrong with a cheap recipe anyways? Or, maybe instead of a longsword+scepter+tiamat, make it a pickaxe+scepter+tiamat? Or make tiamat the old tiamat again.
ProfDrDeath1 votesThe new Ravenous Hydra build path:
= 
+ 
+ 750 gold + switching from Titanic to Ravenous
Way less combine cost (350 gold less), more useful stats in lane (HP > Lifesteal in lane), more comfortable build path.

ProfDrDeath2 votesWhat?
I said that, if you want to rush Ravenous Hydra, you can rush the Titanic Hydra and then switch to the Ravenous Hydra for free. Essentially circumventing the higher combine cost of RH.
Steel Blossom2 votesWAIT THAT'S A THING!? OMFG ILY DUDE
Koldheartedjsp1 votesi miss old tiamat too
it just feels useless building it now days
Steel Blossom1 votesand making the full hydra is such a struggle!
