It's not going to help you kill another player when you rush a runed axe compared to certain orb effects. And not every hero is going to benefit that greatly from runed axe.
If you're someone like dark lady, I can understand rushing the runed axe, but most of the time it's just a waste and you're not going to be given the time to farm so freely.


a runed axe is gfg early for almost any non ranged carry because of how quickly you can farm. Is it going to make a huge difference in team fights? No, but it will allow you to farm 10x faster allowing you to farm additional items faster allowing you to farm and push/gnak with your team. The sustainers regen early game especially if in lane with say madman or swiftblade is gfg, that just means you can be a lot more aggressive

as for ghost machers yeah they're good on some heros and terrible on others. love seeing ghost marchers on heros like scout and pesti. heros that need that extra speed burst, usually melee gankers, thats where marchers come into play. but +10 any stats and +attack speed > 24 damage, the only reason you would get ghost marchers was if you needed the slight speed boost, they provide no survivability and they break stealth

The single most overrated item is icebrand.
I still can't believe that there are people that get this shit on just about every hero they see. I actually saw a pub game with a valk, scout, and corrupted disciple with this garbage in their inventory.

its probably one of the first things I learned going into hon to be honest, but I agree people don't really use it. I use it constantly when I'm playing hag

when did i ever say you should ever get a runed axe on a ranged carry? I specifically said "a runes axe is gfg early for almost any NON RANGED carry"

cleave can be useful in team fights if the other team is all bunched up together...
