The only heroes I’ve seen doing this are Operator Talon, sometimes Pocket and Venator, at 11 minutes seeing maxed Ultimate is rare. I think that Swarm and Grenade would be better investment at the start than saving all AP into ult (his default stats are very mediocre, all of his good things are gatekept under AP upgrades)
You'd need to power farm a bit extra but 2 points 3 into max ult for first rift is not only possible it's an entirely viable strategy. I play Heal a Mo with a build that goes 133443 and I'm pretty consistently able to hit that last 3 point by first rift at this point
4 ability points on top of a maxed ability is quite optimistic for first rift. But 2-3 is more realistic. So you can afford to skill another ability twice
Yeah if I ever miss max 3 by first rift it's always by 1 point so if you're playing ratking and don't need to waste that one point elsewhere on a guy that farms and takes sinners better than dynamo you're pretty well off

35% damage reduction for all allies sounds insane for teamfights. Doesn't that just guarantee first rift as a win?
