While I'm not sold on the idea that he can be a support or offlane since he really need both levels and farm. I think he can be a situational mid (depending on matchup) where he can get easy CS with his high damage and Bottle for the needed regen to support his early levels in Waveform/Adaptive Strike. Morphling can still dish out sick damage just from Treads + Aquila + Armlet as you can get your long duration stun off with Armlet's active + Str Treads, then swap to Agi Treads and burn them down for some strong solo pick-off potential. I've been going S&Y after Armlet to further continue to snowball but you can make whatever. Also why do people think Morphling has such a low pub win rate? He seems crazy strong to me honestly. | ||

u p much have to go sr or bottle crow on morph to get decent farm also sr + tranqs offlane morph isnt that uncommon usually into euls, which i think is much better than armlet | ||

Also, is there a consensus on when to skip Linkens? Morph converts mana to farm so effectively that RoA+bottle really doesn't seem like enough. Plus, there are so many Euls/orchids/sheeps etc these days that the single-target spells on the other team are almost irrelevant. For core morph, obviously. | ||

Farming does not justify its purchase. If you need mana regen to farm, and find aquila bottle to not be enough, then get a soul ring. how does urn fair on this hero? he could use the extra strength, mana regen, and i think the synergy between morph str/agi is interesting. | ||

I don't think he gets charges actively enough to be worth it on him. Morphling does not look to fight. The fight comes to him or it happens and he responds via tp. | ||

Sometimes pros go straight shotgun and skip linken entirely. | ||

It's not like linkens is that good. I mean, let's be honest, the only thing that enables shotgun working is ton of agility and maxed adaptive strike and nothing else. Granted, you may need some mana pool to afford the full combo, but mana is cheap. | ||

Add that to being a short ranged carry and you die insanely quick to decent players. Linkens blocks the first disable or nuke that allows you to wave/ult/morph away when they focus you, that no other item offers except for bkb which is even more clunky on morph (still viable though of course, but you don't want bkb in your first couple items) I mean, the trickery here is that, really ou can afford to morph away 30 or so strength that leads to rather respectable HP pool anyways. | ||
