I completely neglected Medallion in my post as I rarely play Furion anymore. It's a great gap-closer in terms of maintaining your relevance in teamfights when you're going almost straight for hex for instance.

Urn's also another item that just came to mind, particularly if you're going a push heavy strat and there's no one else that can carry it.

Aghs is quite strong if the enemy has strong push, minions in particular. Otherwise it's not worth it, but in that situation it's nice if you can easily wipe out/delay a push while pushing another lane yourself.

I'm also a fan of Necro3 on him, because I like being annoying as fuck.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

What can I do to improve as a dota player? In SC2 it's basically watch replays from better players, watch my own replays or at least understand what caused me to lose/become aware of my flaws and work on it, and play a ton. What about dota? Is it the same? If yes, where do I find replays from the best players?

a good furion in competitive games imo should get items as follow:

RoB-> disassemble into URN -> gank gank gank -> medalion rosh -> support pusher(mek necro scepter sheep) OR DPS(deso buriza mkb)

More than replays it's just thinking why you died during respawn time. Watch tournament streams to learn what's the best way to play the game but a lot of improving in dota is just seeing what you did wrong and avoiding it next time. You need to feel out how far you can go with a hero/against a hero. After a year of playing you will feel a bad player from the way he moves in a lane and be much more aggressive towards him and be passive against a good player on hero that should win against you, waiting for a mistake on his side to punish him.

In short: Mass gaming and thinking about your mistakes DURING the games(you have the time and info to do so in dota as opposed to sc2)

you need experience. You need to die to each situation, each heroes a thousand times just to learn and fixing your nature habit. Watching dendi imo never helps. You need to choose on 'what to watch' and doing that requiring you to understand what is good and what is bad. This is why russian dota is so broken simply bc in their system, they thought having kills is the only way to win at computergames. They will watch dendi get dagon 5 on puck and copy it blindly without knowing/caring about the basic information.

My suggestion is watching singsing and keep in mind on his camera and mouse movement as well as his hero positioning. you need to time these with the clock: every 2 mins you need to check rune, every 40 second you want to be ready to stack a neutral camp at 51 (demon does this all the time lol), whats the pull timing, whats the obs wards expiring timing. And most important of all: What items enemy have, unlike LoL, you actually need to click on the enemy hero to see what do they have in their pocket and this is a crucial skill to have. An enigma/sk with dagger or just simply a mek should affect your decision making a lot.

Overall: play more.

Guys, Singsing streaming a scrim vs M5 with LD as a standin.

This should be interesting.

Watch Synderen stream if you want to learn. Most of the time SingSing does random stuff, he admitted that most of the builds that he does during his stream are bad.

synderen stream isnt for noob. its a very different type of learning experience since you will care more about teamwork and how to coordinate, communicate in a team of 5 people. Synderen doesnt has that impressive of personal skill as a player so noob could learn from him like singsing. A good thing about singsing is that the guy learned everything from pub games. His camera, his mouse movement actually make sense and good for a low tier to medium range players to learn from.

edit: just realize how fucked up grammatically this post was... not gona fix it just bc i cant

if you want to see impressive individual skill you should watch dendi's stream when he's on, he fools around a bit less than singsing

You should watch Blitz if you want to see some individual skill, he will answer questions too (he does read the chat, Both Dendi and SingSing in general troll a lot more) he also almost never trolls around and will try to win every game with legit builds, Blitz also streams a FUCKTON so there are many oppertunities to tune into him, Synderen is not going to stream until TI2 has ended(he said this in a video, where they don't want to reveal any strategies and stuff).

Also I can't remember Furions on competitive games who don't go for Midas(even a late Midas, like Meka>Midas, or a 11-15min Midas even). I almost always see it these days.

I haven't watched a lot of Blitz' stream, but I watched him for a little more than an hour today, and to be honest he made a lot (considering the fact that he is a pro player) of weird/stupid choices, imo. It might have been the fact that he had been up all night I guess, I dunno. But he made weird choices, and I'm not talking about trolling choices like Dendi or Singsing. However I have watched him stream other times where he was a lot better, so I guess it was just the no-sleep factor. I, for one, rate Synderens and Dendis streams above his for education.

Long lane furion tend to build midas less tha the others .. I think.
