Carry Venge sort of works because being a ranged agi hero with a right-click-boosting skill inherently gives scaling potential. Having experimented with the build, it's best as a position 2 behind another right-clicker, but it's sometimes also necessary if I pick support Venge but my lane-partner completely fails at last hitting, or in a lineup with no harder carries.

My dota buddies have been saying Thursday (tomorrow). Not sure how true that is, but it's been unanimous.

carry venge is awesome. max wave of terror and get a shadowblade and just farm off heroes. you suck at farming creeps so you need to farm off heroes. luckily with a decent early item he can 1v1 pretty much anyone

Carry venge is fun. Usually you'd just get a single point in Magic Missile then max out Wave of Terror and Vengeance Aura. One point in stun allows you to use it multiple times in a fight.

Xboct doesn't build his Venge like he's position 1. In that particular game, he maxed Missile first, which didn't pay off in the form of kills in lane, when what he really needed was Wave to enable jungle farming. I also remember him rushing a Mek in a different game, when, again, what he needed was a farming item.

They were all like "we have the counter" with Venge Veno Visage and got wrecked by Furion safe with some of the sickest Akke Enchantress play ever whilst Funn1k died vs Gyro Wisp bot. The stalling they did top was insane and Na'Vi sorta tilted away game 1.

The old carry for power rangers, moonlight, played a good amount of venge carry. Back when fng was on the team, then xboxt played venge a couple of times while fng was the drafter for navi I think?

So in summary: it's definitely a thing, but probably not an optimal thing unless your team's lineup is weird.

Leshrac sometimes better then mid if you think they are going to focus you mid. Probably want to end game between 40 to 50 minute mark, but if you have a good physical dps mid then you are fine to extend it a little longer.

Whats the reason behind blade-mail build on furion?

treads + 4 nulls + blademail hurts a lot early game.

Its more the fact that you can TP in much more aggressively with a blademail. Other items give more damage, but enemies might just man up on you when you TP in. Blademail gives ok damage, but also protects you from being immediately focused down (which is a pretty big problem for prophet, he doesnt handle being manned up on and focused well).

That said it was quite a long time since blademail was the meta build. Its questionable how often its a good idea in comparison to something like an orchid instead.

All I know about that build is that it's the easiest courier sniping and TP ganks during laning phase as Furion.
I'm more of a fan of the older treads mael build, my team can semi-go fuck itself I want my farm.

Not related to the game itself, but a question for aussie TLers:

I recently moved to Australia, and I want to get back into Dota 2.

Do you guys play on aussie servers, or others? If others, what ping do you get?

I'm quite curious! Thanks.
