Linken is more of a solid build from i have seen. Diffu and heart are almost the standard items on all illu heroes.
It depends on the hero. Sylla, for example, is a hero that takes Radiance and immediately goes to push/fight with it.

It really sucks that almost all of my favorite heroes are so terrible -.- So what do you think should change for those heroes to get some gameplay? Should they be made so that they come online slightly earlier but end up being slightly weaker later on? Or is it all right if they're only viable as very situational niche picks? Speaking of which, I really wonder when the next DotA patch is coming out. The gameplay seems really nice and varied overall right now but I don't think that the same thing can be said about picks... I wonder what they're going to change.
I believe Icefrog said that the 6.75 is slated for some time after the International.
Honestly, there are probably a couple carries that are almost there as far as being able to have a presence midgame or farming fast enough to come online early enough. There are just a few problem cases that are probably a bit harder to deal with (relating to heroes with certain passives/steroids that are weak early but become incredibly powerful with items).
