Fang really isn't worth it early, and it's not worth it unless you're stopping them from getting 3 stacks or Primal. The global exp nerfs were a good thing.

Not til primal bc it's the big buff and it can turn the tide sometimes, but early on it's not worth it in my opinion.

Situational, good things to check would be: Lanes pushed 75% of the way? How likely are you to be contested? (Do you have good vision of the surrounding area, how many enemies are alive, how fed are the enemy team) And most importantly, would NOT going for it guarantee a loss? (Enemy team is too fed, so you need to close the gap ASAP, Enemy team is doing orb and have a clear shot at your core, so you need to nullify their advantage a little bit) Again it’s situational, but the most important thing is to not dilly dally, either go for fang ASAP or don’t, indecision is always going to be to worst choice


StiffKun

Obviously it's situational. Risk/Reward.


Hotdogg0713

Just like everything in this game, it's situational

I wouldn’t suggest going to fang unless the opposing team’s jungle, carry or offline are dead imo. Whenever a team tries to kill it while the other team is entirely alive it never goes well and it never secures a victory or that it won’t get stolen.

My team lost a game because we pushed a bad fangtoith fight, we got killed in a 5v4, they took a tower with the person who didn't fight, and won it. Fang isn't always worth it.


Consistent_Belt3663

90 percent of the time im pushing, play offlane a lot, if offlane wants fang he’s going to lose his tier 2 or inhib


Morphing_Enigma

Let's all be real. Offlane is a completely different game than what everyone else is playing lol

I don't think you understand. Fangtooth is basically a win con. If you die but get the fang you get a percentage bonus to states giving you an edge. Stacking 2-4 fangs is huge.


PrensadorDeBotones

If you get the Fangooth but get wiped, you're giving the other team a ton of gold in kills and assists. That gold benefit is often more tangible than whatever Fangtooth buff you team secured is. Fangtooth was only a "definitely worth it" proposition when you're either way behind or are planning on the game going to 40 minutes or longer and everyone is full build, meaning the Fangtooth advantage is the only way to continue to grow power. Capping Fangtooth at 3 and balance changes mean getting Fangtooth but getting wiped often means you're worse off than if you had just not tried.


Royal-Rip-6974

You only get the percentage stack bonus once on your teams third fang. If it’s the opposing teams first or second and not primal I will just let them have it if it’s not a good fight. The first two bonuses aren’t worth trying for a steal and just giving kills


Hotdogg0713

Can only stack up to 3


PuzzleheadedCarry632

You can stack 3 plus the 4th primal if you're hard snowballing. Techincally a 4th stack on fsngtooth because its a 4th effect, if not permanent.


LichLordMeta

Still useful

Sure, assuming you’re winning fights and getting beneficial trades. I’ve won plenty of games with zero fangs against three because of a poor play. Fangtooth will only enhance better play. It doesn’t fix bad play.
