Blind sunstrikes are based on having played the game a bunch and predicting where your opponent is pathing.

Just keep practicing. Based on the movement speed of who your striking you take a guess as to which way you think they escaped. Less experienced players will probably auto-path back towards the fountain, so you’ll take a guess at where you think they are.

It’s the same thing with Mirana arrows or any other long range skillshot. You’re basically just predicting based on their movement speed. That comes just from playing the game a lot.

PS – Also, youtube is gonna be full of successful attempts from highly experienced players. Most players don’t put up montages of their missed blind shots.

Honestly you just have to know how far the given character will move so you could time your sunstrike right on top of them.

What I do is when I see character running is that I evaluate the distance certain character move in short period of time and judge by my own sense where the character will be when sunstrike lands. I’m not pro invoker by any means as I haven’t played much of him but I can land sunstrikes rather well even in fog of war as you expect the guy taking the shortest way from his lane to fountain.

In my head it comes down to evaluating the speed of the character within very short period of time and combining with known cast time of sunstrike to make a quick prediction. I just seem to have difficulty equating for phase boots, I almost always miss sunstrikes if guy uses phase boots.

Well, firstly it comes down to experience.

One tip I would like to give is put yourself in the enemy’s place.
Imagine what you would have done at that point of time with an invoker in the opponents team, and then land your Sunstrikes.

Another one would be the delay for the sunstrike, you should know exactly when the sunstrike is gonna hit and judge the enemy’s path.

I’ve been on youtube and google searching for videos and articles on how to land invoker’s sunstrike but so far all I’ve came across were montages of sunstrikes. I do not know how to “become one with the sunstrike” and reach the apex of zen and targeting. My problems with this skill is I never seem to time it right. People just either walk right through it or my sunstrike is too early. Some times I try to pick people off in their fountain but it never lands.
Can someone help me learn how to time this spell?
Is it mostly through experience or is there another way to time it?

The easiest way is to have a Bloodseeker on your team who specs thirst early, that way you can see low hp targets.
Most people are too dumb to click into less traveled paths, and will normally click the fountain and sit back to wait.

Aside from that, just practice

In my opinion, whenever you hesitate from casting sun strike, it is often better to wait a little bit and see the enemy’s moving pattern. Some may have a random one, but mostly they tend to repeat their patterns, for example, they will zig-zag, then do a circle, zig-zag more and probably turn right or left, depending on the environment.

It is also easier to pick off enemies from fights, as they will not focus on dodging your sun strikes. But keep in mind, the enemy may turn around and try to cast a spell or fight, so, as I said, its better to wait a bit. This does not apply to all cases, as sometimes its better to cast sun strike quickly, as the enemies would realize you have SS ready.

All in all, its better to play Invoker on pubs than practice on bots. Bots tend to be more annoying than realistic (I can never hit an arrow, sun strike, or a hook on those ♥♥♥♥ers). All the skill comes with practice, so keep on trying to hit sun strikes.

For global range ones, though, it may be better not to take a shot. Unless you saw your enemy about 10 seconds ago, people tend to lose proximity of the enemy’s location. Try to wait a bit, maybe they might have gone elsewhere. Try to take as much opportunities. But most of all, since you’re kind of new, it will be better to focus on sun strikes than just throwing it off, hoping to hit someone. The feeling and estimation will eventually come. By then, you will most likely be familiar with it all.
