Hello Braunbär.

As you said, bottle is a great item when you're mid, more if you spam spells.
Since 6.82 refilling the bottle is easier, so don't be afraid to get one ASAP.

The reason I don't buy bottle is because I am obsessed with the gold and XP that the creeps provide, and also that I only use mana when I want to kill the enemy or harass a lot. Besides, Lina has a huge mana pool, so the bottle doesn't give you much mana IMHO.
I don't use Q for farming or harassing, but you can do so to push the wave so you can refill your bottle without losing gold/XP.

So, to sum up: yes, bottle is a nice item, but I am not very good with it. Maybe you can buy a bottle and only build a bracer instead of finishing drums, but I haven't tried. Drums is an awesome item though, so try not to overlook it.

Urn might work as well, you can replace drums with urn and see what happens.

I hope this helped you; if you have any other question feel free to ask me. Have a nice day!

great guide! What i am missing is some sustainability in the trench. For people that are not as good as you are there is always need for regeneration. What do you think of bottle (as there are always 2 runes) and / or urn? maybe even skip drums for it to not delay the crucial euls?

thx again for your guide! gl hf
