Author's notes

Sap their spirit, stomp them on long legs, time the tea. Every item buys more legs uptime or a bigger stomp. Made by deadlocklabs.gg: we go through Emissary+ games on the current patch and the best player builds, keep what actually wins and write down why. L>R inside a group, optional groups = buy when the game asks for it. WR in the title = Emissary+ games this patch where the player finished the core. Updated every patch. Counters, matchups, more Baba builds: deadlocklabs.gg/heroes/baba
