EPTAlso, is there any way to buy items in the shop using ONLY your keyboard? Just like in counterstrike? It feels rather silly to have to click with your mouse :/

creep score aka creep kills yes there is but i hate using the shop hotkeys because if you try to select a control group you'll buy random stuff try using quick buy and maybe quick buy button, it's generally good enough | ||

The reason kunkka often gets buriza is more for the lolzy chance to get a perfect crit splash on 5 heroes and he is relatively reliant on this to do damage (and thus is taking a large chance to be effective). If I get Buriza, it's usually the third or fourth lategame item after I already have other important items. Or long story short, other items before buriza. Yeah, Manta is usually the first choice for dps and Desolator is just too good. I cry when pros go MKB and Buriza with no orb effect in a pusher meta. | ||

you might see it picked up occasionally after bfury on heroes like am or jugg to speed up their farming rates a bit, and it's also pretty common on lycan to speed up his jungle | ||

Forces opponents to get down from their height. We played a push strat with sniper that worked pretty well due to the dmg output of mkb from low ground. Except you know, there is that problem of....not dying until you can get MKB. Which is rather difficult if you're rushing that with no defensive items, and if you do get defensive items first then you're giving more time to get fucked up. | ||

I could claim that as a problem for any hard carry with no escape mechanism.... In fact, almost any hero without an escape mechanism. Sniper isn't actually that easy to jump provided you have good warding because Take Aim allows him to stand very far away from the creeps, so at around level 3 it becomes very hard to jump him in lane or even harass and we aren't even taking into account any support that is in the lane for him yet. Manta Style is usually gotten first on Sniper before any other damage item anyway (unless you are from the Phase/MoM school of sniper). It gives good damage, stats and movespeed. | ||

And that's why carrys who only tend to be useful in the lategame are rarely drafted - its simply too hard for them to farm without constantly being ganked. | ||
