Laning phase
good partners
andro engi slither bomb nymph glacius myrmidon hellbringer ds vj plague rider
heroes you dont wanna lane against
pharaoh torturer puppetmaster bomb slither engi
middle lane, well you can do decent against pretty much any hero
you cant rly kill mid versus any melee hero ( unless they make some major misstake ) so if you're up against some nasty melee pharaoh/devo/dw make sure you have the runecontrol and if possible gank the other lanes and get your kills from there
range heroes you can deal with pretty good and in most cases win mid
but when you're laning i'd suggest you take the easy lane but only if you got a decent lane partner ( top if hb bot if legion )
and if you got no good lane partner go mid with bottle first item get every rune harras/take cks with stalk and pushout the lane just be4 the rune spawns, either he can skip exp/gold from your creeps and guess the rune otherwise you'll always get it ( if you have wards ofc )
hard lane, well i'd say the only time you take this lane is either when you're going 3vs3 / 3vs2 / 1vs3
Starting items ( lane )
Mark of novice
Crushing claws
Minor totem
Minor totem
Runes of blight
Health potion
Items NOT TO GET
Frostburn why would you need 15% slow? you're at 522 ms like 60% of the time
Geometers bane why would you wanna dispell your ultimate?
Charged hammer you wanna get as much damage as possible from your gash and since charged hammer gives like 0 damage it's just shit
Riftshard you already got a crit yo?
Brutalizer do i even have to say anything?
Nullfire ( only time you get this is if you're up against a jera and need the purge )
Elder parasite shit item in general
Behemoths heart stupid item to get
Abyssal skull you'll already have lifesteal from wh/symbol
Recommended items ( by me )
early game
Steamboots
Bottle ( if mid )
Power supply ( always )
Blood chalice ( if lane )
mid game
1 of these will allow you to spam your stalk/barrel roll, how to choose which one to get?
in my personal order
#1 nullstone / well take a look on your enemy team, if they got alot of heavy single target spells which is nasty for madman example Arachna tundra pesti witch slayer puppet master etz etz a nullstone is a must
#2 hex / is for me just a personal favorite in itembuild just because A it is so fun B it's rly good, when to get it? well lets say you're in a game where you dont need nullstone but your farm is not good enough to get a 15 min ra, then i would suggest hex if you can have it at 20-30 min mark and it gives +10 all stats which is kinda good for surviveability
#3 runed axe ( i am not a big fan of ra madman ) / however if you can have a 15 min RA and your enemy team have no scary single target spells runed axe is a very viable choice since it will up your farm ability alot but remember it wont give you any surviveability
#4 hellflower / kinda same thing as hex all though i very much prefer hex over hellflower but thats just my opinion if you have a thing for hellflower you should try it
Shrunken head is almost always a must
Whispering helm ( if you go for an early WH i suggest you start to stack ancient asap and get some of your teammate to help you creep it )
late game ( full gear )
Post haste ( since you always need a tp slot )
