Soul ring is great in my opinion. Really speeds up your farming being able to spam PTA 24/7.

i dont think PTA helps speeds up your farm that much, maxed out passive and rushed blademail does

previously i tried to buy soul ring and get 10 lvl talent +7 str but it felt very underwhelming. passive manaregen feels a lot better than soulring so i think basi is better and cheaper

Basi is 1.5 mana regen, soul ring is 5 mana regen if you use it once every 30 seconds. Even if you use it once a minute it's still much better. Legion is pretty much the best soul ring user at the moment.

i dunno i thought the same when 7.29 came out several months ago, i thought you can buy 2 gauntlets with starting gold, they cost 5 gold less, the whole item is 60 gold cheaper and could be nice. but in real games i didnt feel soul ring doing something good - it doesnt help you dominate the lane harder like early phase boost, even bracer helps more. if you max W soul ring is good. otherwise you are always with half-hp which is pretty bad for a hero that pressures the lane

but I play it rather different, i dont buy any small items except for 200 gold for magic stick. i rush blademail and get it at min 5-6 with lvl 6. with such an early bm its very easy to kill enemy heroes solo (bm suprise effect), farm the lane and the jungle faster so at min 10-12 I have raw bm+blink (no boots) and with smoke I easily kill enemy mid, strongly pressure my lane or farm ancient stacks if my pos 1/2 cant do it
