For my skill build: blink, scream, scream, shadow strike, scream, sonic wave, then max scream and mix up blink and shadow strike.
My starting items are one tango, one salve, two branches, and two mantles of intelligence. This gives me great regen to stay in lane and good last hit potential.

I like to play QOP solo mid. As the game goes on, I get a bottle with the first 600 gold, then boots, and then I start roaming around for kills. QOP is one of the most mobile gankers in the whole game, and has some of the strongest burst potential as well. Not calling mia on QOP can lead to some disastrous consequences. A simple combo of blink in/shadow strike/ult/scream is usually enough to take out an enemy hero, or even two if they are not prepared.
As the game progresses, she becomes one of the strongest intelligence teamfighters there is, with sonic wave and scream doing massive amounts of damage and staying out of range of enemy heroes with her blink.
As the gold ramps up, one of my favorite key items for QOP is linkens. It provides her with much needed regen and stats as she is extremely squishy, and making her even more elusive and unkillable. After that, sheepstick is usually the next item and then a skadi if the game goes on that long. With her very large agility gain per level, QOP can easily be built as a semi carry with the right items. I do not suggest getting aghanim's unless you have had an extremely good early game, it scales fairly poorly as the game goes on.
Being the glass cannon that she is, QOP has a fairly high skill cap and is one of the more difficult heroes to master. With the right experience, she can be one of the most feared gankers and teamfighters in the game.

Short answer-- Yes

Long version-- Yup yup

My disease: moving toward a hook or arrow. If it is thrown/shot, I will do my damnedest to get caught by it. Even if it means I have to move in the opposite direction. I'm like a fucking cat with a red dot pointer.

I KNOW RIGHT? Like, you see clearly see it coming, but somehow, you don't register it and move your hero right towards it.

The following heroes must be removed from the game: spirit breaker, furion, and nyx assassin. They deserve no place in dota land, they are disgrace to dota-kind. They are like picking protoss in SC2 and 1a moving your collosus death ball.
