I think we are all overreacting a bit here.

1) PA farms extremely fast if you spam her spells for it and get lucky with crits. Dagger-->Blink-->Crit and you can basically move on to the next camp. AM still has the edge because he doesn't need to run as much though, which is overlooked (I remember some math in a QoP guide that showed early boots weren't that good on her because of Blink).
2) BF is still a strong item without cleave. Not sure about dps when compared to Manta, but you want/need regen. I'm pretty sure it works well in pubs.

Why exactly is it trolling?
I am not saying that it is the best item, but it is still viable. Just because you can only see "CLEAVE DOESN'T WORK ON RANGE", it doesn't mean that it is not viable. 60 damage for 4k + 150% mana regen is really good on medusa.
And it is way better than rushing a manta. If the enemy has no single target disables, Bfury is may one of the best starting item.

I mean, as a regen/farming item I have a hard time believing that BFury is going to be better than Linken, which is the most typical first item on Medusa.

This strategy is wrong. There are not enough battlefuries in it.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

Manta as a first item is just crap, especially on Medusa.
Your illusion will then deal 5 damage with split shot, nice dps.

Well, like I when the enemy doesn't have much that gets blocked by linkens, a bfury is totally viable. But yea a linkens is always better, when you can make use of the spell block.

When on earth (apart from terrible pub games) will the enemy not have much that gets blocked by linkens?

The international had couple of games that had no stuns on any hero on one side

And even in "good" pub games this could happen.

well lvl 1 blink is not always enough if the enemy has some chasing ability and you dont have boots, as its only 700 range and has a large cd

but you pay for the cleave.
You could use the gold you pay for cleave on another item for more dmg

Okay which other item would you get as a first item on medusa, when linkens spell block is wasted, which also gives damage

Guys, BF and Linken on medusa is a legit build. Wtf are you guys talking about? Looking at dotabuff.com, BF has a 61.70% win rate whereas Linkens has a 68.43% win rate. Taken together, its a whopping 130.13% chance to win. How can you possibly lose?

Looked it up, the guide is talking about the lvl 4 Blink.

Lvl 1 is pretty bad, yeah, slightly longer than standard attack range, but that's why it's maxed first by most AMs, right? ^^
