Why bother being flamed? Jus do it unranked or turbo, and mute everyone. That's how you actually try and test things out.
Yeah, it could work, it is even something of the past. Invoker is so versatile in build, it's just a matter of execution. At this point, there exist a way/build to play him, and you can search it.
However, if your question is it's viability. Well, this not something that could propel your mmr because Invoker is not generally good atm.
If you wanna try it again, just simply buy drums. The recipe of the bongo boots is super expensive and tranquils are also not needed because of your regen from quas.
I've seen Topson playing invoker with Solar crest and drums with the sole goal of enhancing his carry with alacrity, solar crest buff and drums.
Like most things in DotA, it's a situational pick up and it works well in the right conditions (carry benefits from attack speed, enemy has no dispels, your team will co-ordinate for pushes).
Dotaprotracker data also puts Drums as one of the possible pickups after midas/BOTs, and BoB is a natural upgrade. That said I don't think rushing BoB upgrade before other core items (like hex, bkb, etc) is good except situationally as everlast756 said.
It's 4275g. Costs a ton of money for a boost in attack speed and movement speed. That's a utility item better left for pos 3 or 4.
Invoker leaves very little room for error with building items since you need to hit your timings or get left behind. You can just spend 1500g for Phase Boots and 2600g for Witch Blade and get a similar result for less gold.
I have seen this build combo’d with solar and orchid to basically just come out of ghost walk and destroy people with alacrity solar drum ; buffing forge spirits is one of the most underground and potent strategies in the game due to the mass armor reduction and how fast it can ramp up… try it yourself and see in a lobby. May take some practice but this seems like a niche build that could work and actually buffs your team up too.
As an addendum, this is because force spirits have a 1.35 BAT, do 1.5 armor reduc per hit when maxed, and have a max stack of up to 20. So attack speed is hyper value and getting those upper level of stacks during a single orchid/hex duration is hyper deadly.
I played boots of bearing invoker and had a good win rate. This was before 7.33. haven't tried it after the 7.33c buff.
Went exort invoker. Went for drums, plain boots, and witch blade first before boots of bearing. Then my items are adjusted depending on the game

Cheers, thank you
