So, lately I've been enjoying playing Storm Spirit. When my start is good and I can get my bloodstone up and running pretty early, the game usually turns out fine, but what am I supposed to do when my farm doesn't allow me to get the bloodstone in a decent period of time (got outlaned, my ganks failed, couldn't kill heroes during the early game, ecc ) ? Usually I just try to "farm" enemy supports but this gets harder and harder when the opponent start playing "5 man dota". What am I supposed to do ? Give me some advices because I found that I really enjoy playing this hero .

Split them up by pushing different lanes with your mobility. Then gank. If you are underfarmed I usually pick up an orchid and power treads or you can just go bkb.

This is the problem with SS. If he gets farmed/fed and gets about 15+ bloodstone charges by minute 25, he is brutally effective and can generally "just win" by being unkillable and having ridiculous ganking power. But almost anything much less and he can be almost worthless. The saddest hero on the planet is a severely gimped SS.

Don't get Bloodstone unless you get good farm during the early game. If you can't get it around 20 minutes into the game, it's not worth getting it at all. Just farm BKB or Orchid and try to kill off squishy supports in team fights.

The answer is don't beeline for the same items even though you're not doing well. Storm's item selection is very sensitive to how the game is developing. If your early tempo isn't good, you have to think about how the best way to catch up is, and select your next item based on that.

Don't go Orchid if you plan to teamfight. You get Orchid for ganking and solo-killing in situations where neither team is grouping up. If you expect to teamfight, BKB and Sheep are both better than Orchid.

Luna is badass. Her nukes are so strong, and 600+ gpm isn't a problem with her glaves. <3

Neither, Navi used wisp again during their match against Znation just now and lost. They also picked a Rubrick.
I hope your imbalance jibe is meant as a joke.

This post is pretty funny. The original post was saying he was glad he played some games where no-one chose Luna (ie he's tired of her being in the pool).
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

I guess that game was just all around awesome. Made wisp look too strong.

I also heard in that game that they were warning the players against excessive pausing, which I think is essential. The pauses make watching dota so hard, sometimes the broadcast is half pause.
