there is no exact fastest possible time
you could get narrow it down to plus minus 10 seconds maybe
but no ones gonna give you a time correct to the second. too many variables
try it out for yourself if you care so much about a couple seconds difference, otherwise just accept the fact that youll get it like 6-8mins in or something (dont exactly remember myself)

Even +- a minute would be challenging depending on which camps spawn.

Or runes.

DD, Regen, or Illusion could noticeably speed up your farming.

"Fastest possible Midas" simply isn't a stat that's practical for anything.

Usually picked as 5, but sometimes as 4.

In pubs, 1-3 are quite fun, though technically not "competitive".

Off the top of my head, looks like they forgot to list clinkz's skeleton walk. Same deal as BH and PL though.

How well does Storm Spirit scale into the lategame? Is he like invoker where he becomes godly late game or like other normal int heroes?

Total noob here and I played some bot games. I read somewhere that lich is a good hero to start with, but I found him very squishy and running out of mana a lot (of course he has consume to help with that). I tried witch doctor, who seems quite tricky and zeus, who seems very easy (just nukes on short cooldowns). Is zeus a good hero to start with? Are there any other heroes I should try?

Particularly with a focus on practicing last hitting and surviving a bit better.

The reason Lich is recommended is because of sacrifice. As long as you always use it you have helped your team, a lot. If you get off the ulti in a team fight prior to dying you did well enough.

You could try out Windrunner. Can play in any lane, skill build should wary though. WR is mostly seen as solo mid recently, historically on hard lane solo. Her third ability is her survival ability.

QoP is much harder but shares Zeus nuke power, she gets a blink to move around with though. Making her great in mid due to reaching runes first in many cases. Can also off lane solo against weak dual lanes due to blink. This hero requires a lot of farm and good positioning, usually not recommended for beginners.

What's the fastest possible way to get a midas on Nature's Prophet? And at what time would you get it? (sorry if this has been posted I did a quick search and didn't find anything )

It depends on the neutral creeps, as they give different gold and experience.

I think I usually get it in 6 minutes (or was it 8?) with basilius and 2 clarities.

I go for big camp first, then mostly medium camps unless there are trolls. In theory you could also use a treant to double pull one camp to do it faster.

back when dota wasnt as big it was now and there were a lot more noobs around, i played bloodseeker A LOT
one of his skills actually gives you a reason to last hit properly other than gold and experience
if someone is low around you you can kill/run which is handy
and your ulti isnt that bad, especially if youre opponents are clueless
but now the average dota player is better so it might not work as well for you as it did for me

he definitely doesnt scale like every other int hero. hes a semi-carry at least (some say hes a hard carry but i disagree)
if you get decent items on him (eg hex/orchid with bloodstone/linkens/bkb) in a decent time he can carry your team through the midgame and put your team in such a good position that it wouldnt matter how he scales into lategame
but to answer your question directly id say he scales quite well. he wont have the right click power of a pa or something, but the fact that he can abuse bad positioning so easily still makes him quite strong

storm carries pretty hard, but it depends on your build and on the opposing team
if they don't have many disables you can rampage all over their team all game long
also he's a good rapier holder
