Why do I keep running into these Bristlebacks that think rushing Octarine Core first item is a good idea?

I just don't

Fuck me and my MMR.

Cuz they saw that video and think Oct core is a must on bb. It's only good use is when you're stomping.

Reminds me of the mirana who went pms phase then daedalus (no stick or wand or anything else), with the great daedalus buildup claws->demon edge->daed. recipe->full item. She didnt even have a good game, so she finished it when we were pushing t3s (and we didnt push early).
She didnt manage to buy another item, since she got insta-gibbed by everything. I have no idea why, 950 hp on lvl 15 sounds totally fine...

Or that AM who went bfly as his first major item after Manta against a magic burst lineup...

So yeah I know your pain >.<
low gravity, yes-yes!
