On top of that, there's no guarantee that a crit proc will result in a kill. Yeah, Phantom Strike has a quick 5 second cooldown but that means basically 3.5 seconds or so out of every 5 seconds you have pretty crappy attack speed. Why not get a Hyperstone in the mid-game and go into an AC later on? Something like BKB -> Hyperstone -> HoD -> AC? She has very good Agilty growth, so attack speed is generally not gotten early in favor of survivability and farming items (Battle Fury + BKB). AC is an option later on, but typically Agility carries will favor Butterfly over Assault Cuirass. The exceptions are usually not 1st position hard carries, but more often 2nd/3rd position tankier semicarries like Razor or Viper. Remember that Agility items also grant 1% attack speed per point, so the 30% attack speed + 30 agility from Butterfly actually grants significantly more attack speed than Assault Cuirass does. | ||

I know that they didn't stack in DotA 1, but someone told me otherwise for DotA 2. If they don't stack then yea, no point dumping so much money in BFly. Manta should still be an option though. | ||

When I respawned my hero portrait was grayed out and the screen had the low HP warning borders. When I returned to lane, dota 2 crashed and I wasn't able to reconnect when I got back cuz the reconnect button was not available :S Basically, I have never left/afk-ed before. How do I know if I'm in a low priority queue? is there some message? When you search for a game it will say in red text: warning: you are in low priority...and also in game after the creeps spawn a message will display warning that you are in low priority and that you will not get any battle points etc... | ||

I'm currently winging it with Arcane Boots-->Vit Booster-->Yasha-->Manta-->Heart-->Diffusal, which works out, but surely there are better ones. The high rated guides all talk about the old Naga with crit, so that isn't helping >_> The old standard before Crit became Riptide was Vanguard/Treads/Radiance with Diffusal/Manta/Heart/Butterfly following. Arcane Boots weren't really in the game and without Riptide, mana management was much easier. Even though Naga isn't as hard of a carry now, most later-game items remain the same. Naga will generally be in trilanes, though for pubs dual lanes. Regardless, grab a Ring of Basilius early on for mana regeneration. Vanguard is also a deprecated item--poor man's shield + vit booster + tranquil (550 + 1100 + 1025 = 2675) is much more effective and cheaper than Vanguard + boots (2725). From there, move into Radiance. If you can't get Radiance in a timely manner, Diffusal or Manta. Follow up with the other big items--Butterfly and Heart come to mind the most. Lifesteal is obviously the most carry-oriented orb, so if you didn't pick up Diffusal HotD -> Satanic works. Other items to consider are Cuirass, BKB, and Necronomicon. Don't grab arcane boots. Let your supports grab them. Tranquil makes you move so fast (320+80) and you can disassemble later for Treads or Travels. | ||

Radiance on Naga isn't very good compared to a lot of heroes imo, I'd recommend going straight for heart, or getting either diffusal and yasha first given that u've gotten basi for laning and tranq boots, dissembling into vlads midgame is the obvious choice and it feels like mana burn is the better orb on naga | ||

The only exception is the "evade" on faceless void's backtrack.. but that dodges spells, so it's obviously not a vanilla evade. | ||

That is what i figured, it is just on my smurf account, even after losing so much and having a negative win ratio, I have a tendency to play against people that I shouldn't. It is just weird at times. Granted, it is not my main so it is fine. But just seem weird at times. Was hoping there would be no influence at all. | ||

It's just such a good item in that case. | ||

Don't ever do what the chinese do in their games in your pub games. Hell, even euro-mericans pros can't pull off many of the strategies they do; they usually require way more teamwork than we're used to. | ||
