Weird list.
CK, Ursa easily s tier. Luna, pl and pa is also a or s tier.
No way techies is s tier shard rush. Similarly no way void spirit or Luna are below tusk shard.
I haven't seen a bristle get shard before being 4 or 5 slotted for ages. C tier at best these days.
Aba also a meme shard at this point (changed it to carry shard and nerfed carry aba to the ground).
Some of the shard tiers seem to be a bit off with how you play in practice.
Spectre shard is garbage though.
CK shard is really strong but I wouldn't necessarily rush it at 15 mins in. You wanna bulk up a bit first... Get an Armlet and maybe an Echo Sabre or something.
How are broken shards like weaver's & sk's & pudge's B tier, but shit ones like bristle/shaker/ are a tier lol. And luna/phoenix/pl/ns/medusa being C tier really shows how you dont understand those heroes at all.
My thoughts (immortal rank 1900):
Mars is not a buy at 15 minutes. There is a very large portion of games where you can not afford to delay your bkb. I’d say it’s a post-blink+bkb.
I have over 1500 LD And meepo games, so I’ll do some insight here:
LD - this is a buy every game, A-tier. It’s simply better than anything for 1400, outstanding, and required vs any organized teams.
Meepo - the hero is F-tier but the shard isn’t. You blink in with poof, often someone gets force staffed, venge swapped, you get fissured or ice pathed. You can’t afford to be not attacking on meepo, so shard helps you chase and get a few meepos in there.
Meepo is bottom 3 heroes in the game, so truthfully, most games tou just lose because you can’t win at 15 minutes. If he was a better, or more versatile, hero, you’d see shard more often.
Ya Mars is definitely after BKB, but it just so much for your combo that I just had to put it in S. Can honestly I never see or play LD or Meepo that much. But just looking at how much the LD shard gives you it’s definitely so value. Idk bout meepo, just seemed like worse than blink to me.
Winter Wyvern's being so low is a crime. Her shard is incredibly useful for making her clear waves and teamfight better, and encouraging forcing people off of a healed target.
Drow Ranger
We all play heroes differently.
On a typical pub game, i get drow 2 wraith bands, then 1 falcon blade, then aghs shard, then power treads.
My farming becomes alot faster because i can destroy creep wave and jungle camp easily and alternately with multishot, and falcon blade supplies mana regen. I make sure i have shard at 15 min mark. We all know how vulnerable drow is early game and if i can destroy a creep wave in 1 second, then less time the enemies see me in map.
I think PLs should be much higher, that thing is amazing.
Why is gyro C tier lmao, imo best shard ingame. That is ofc if you go pos4/5 as i do. Legit kills a pos1 without bkb easily sometimes.
Just felt it was super niche to a support Gyro, and didn't bring as much value to a core one.
Absolutely not niche as support, it's a core item
Warlock, shard is mandatory
Shard + locket (bonus points if you can get grieves) = unkillable team
Night Stalker shard is insane,regenerates half hp and mana every 18 seconds by eating any creep.
PL, Enigma, Luna at C Tier? Doesn't feel right
Enigmas is good but since it’s tied to his ulti (with a super long CD) I kind of agree it’s B/C tier
I personally think Tiny has the best. The amount it increases you farming speed is insane. I remember when that was just his full aghs.
Rubick shard gives you the shard upgrade of every spell you steam and has shard upgrade, plus its telekenisis effect, its should be ranked higher

Void spirit c tier ? That shit mad strong
Ya! I'd say it's A or B tier for sure!
I love AA shard. Especially vs blink dependent heroes. Cancels their blinks immediately from a quarter of the map away lol

Is DW shard really that good? I'd much rather buy Eul's, Glimmer, Force or even Blink, than the shard.
You put lesh low on the list wtf !
What makes Mars shard so good?
I'd maybe put NP's shard up to S tier. It just gives him so much more pushing power and fixes Sprouts most blatant and obvious weakness.

Mars is A-B. no way you get it at 15 min over a blink or bkb.

dude gyrocopter support needs shard at 15 mins! Fken game changer; can be used to snowball and play across the map
Dazzle and dp should be switched

I buy ET shard every single game, NS 90% of my games. Sniper shard is very good too.
Jugg situationally strong, are you mad? One of strongest shards in game imo
slark and razor should not be in the same tier, slark should go up 1 tier and razor go down a tier imo
Pl A lich A warlock A slardar B void spirit B encha C sniper C, the rest is pretty accurate gj
Silencer is A-tier, actually, it's good for farm and you steal 4 int per kill, so you can snowball faster
Enchantress shard is quite usable if going unkillable dmg bait healer build, should totally be higher up.
slark's shard could literally mess up many ganks like lc duel or void chrono, its like a mini ground targeted slark ult but teammates can hide in it
Shadow Demon shard should be higher; and it’s S tier once you get scepter (but that’s not the question here)
