Riki/Clinkz will start moving around the map once they have their first core which is usually Diffblade/Orchid. So you want to start grouping up around that time. BH is a bit trickier since he'll mostly move around the map after 6 but at the same time he's quite a lot easier to spot which direction he's going. Gem is more for when you 5 maning or always grouping and sentries are more for if you want to set up a trap or sieging a tower. If your team is always mobile dust is generally best. | ||

As long as you get any of those 3 it's fine imho. But roughly it's like this: Dust for chasing Sentrys to prevent initiation Gem When you're ahead or facing multiple invis heroes - Also awesome for dewarding obviously. Gem is obviously the best, but you can't always bet on keeping it, if you're getting dominated already. | ||

Wasn't he the best of the best carries, even with his old life drain, conjure image, meta, and sunder skill set. | ||

Don't think we will see terrorblade in the next month. | ||

There's just no items that are worth having early game over a courier, even if you have to pay for it yourself. Just dont buy everything instantly and rush to "your" lane, and you will never play a game without courier.. | ||

Also any suggestions on any other characters that play similar.. just so I can maybe mix it up a bit. I've tried Drow Ranger a bit and Skeleton King, but not exactly to much success. | ||

Either you are suporting, ganking, farming, or whatever. And keep doing that until you are feed up with it... As for zues, ring basilius isn't going to help you since zues spams a lot of spells. you are better off getting mana pots until you can afford mana boots ( arcane boots ) or a bottle. You can also try Lina or Leshrac... :p | ||

And it finally worked. . . To above, I would suggest someone like Lion, or anyone with good stuns really. It's hard to not be at least somewhat useful and it will help with learning the game in a way pressing R for a Zeus ult will not. Regarding regen, yes, you should pretty much always buy tangos and salves at the start. Alternatively, just random and see what heroes you enjoy playing. The game takes a long time to really "get", so don't worry about being bad for a while. | ||

Definitely try Lich, he's quite straightforward to play and also has an ultimate that kills teams  | ||

Yeah servers seem to be down for Europe, I figured it was my internet as it's usually horrible in the afternoon anyway. Guess practising on bot's isn't going to do me any harm though. | ||
