I use S to stop my attack animation if I wind up too early, but I do the walk laterally behind the mob until I'm ready to last hit thing. So I use a combination of the two. Knowing that S kills your attack animation is handy regardless.

After asking basically the same question a month or so back, I just had to go practice it until I found what felt comfortable for me.

This is a really dumb question, and I feel dumb for not knowing, but I didn't play DotA1, so I don't know each heroes "original name"...so uhh, Naix = lifestealer, right?

I always see people refer to "Naix", and it always confuses me.

Correct. Naix = lifestealer. While I never played Dota 1 either, it is pretty easy to pick up the names. It is also very easy to simply google the name, as most of them are quite unique to Dota.

That's really the only one I couldn't figure out purely through context, thankfully. Thanks for the quick answer.

Does anything prevent Wisp from porting back after the 12 secs are up for relocate? I'm wondering because I was playing enigma and didn't dare throw down my black hole.

Nothing normal that I know of. The only possibility may be hooking Wisp as time expires but this needs to be tested (it worked in Dota 1) and technically this doesn't prevent Wisp's tp, it will just drag Wisp back to the location after Wisp has tped away.

just wondering. it would take forever for the disruptor to port the wisp back wouldn't it? have to wait for that animation to reach all the way back?

There's a maximum projectile time, after which it automatically sends the hero back.

What is the build for a carry tiny? I've been trying it with my friend as wisp.

I usually go treads first then rush scepter but then am not sure what to get. My teams seem to feed when I try this for some reason, so to get into the fighting and be helpful right away I get drums next, then a hyperstone. What should the real build be?

Treads first also seems weird but usually wisp can help keep me in lane so I don't need any regen items like RoR/H or anything (wouldn't know what to build with them anyway, maybe RoR to Vlads eventually?). I guess I could skip that even and go straight for aghs from normal boots and a couple branches/wand/bottle.

choice of boots is always situational. are you getting harassed heavily in lane? tranquils may not be bad. does team already have a bunch of mana boots, or is the team in dire need of mana boots? am i going to be stacking mass movement speed so i should get phase? whatever fits the situation best

The hero benefits from movement speed and attack speed, so go for items that give both. Drums, manta style, assault are all extremely good items. Black king bar somewhere between those makes tiny pretty much unstoppable in a fight

The glimpse moves as a moderately fast projectile. It's automatic after maybe 2 seconds? The trick is, they have to port out while your projectile is moving, so try to stay reasonably far away and cast it maybe .25-.5 seconds before you predict they escape.

since tiny isnt a standard carry there is no "standard" build
but personally i follow this route
phase->yasha->aghanims/manta->aghanims/manta->AC/BKB
although treads seems a good choice because of the attack speed increase, its actually not THAT noticeable on tiny due to his already terrible attack speed, so i wouldnt go treads. also, since carry builds normally dont get blink, you arent able to position yourself as well as you would have if you were a ganking tiny, so the movespeed is more important for you to utilise your skills properly
yasha is a solid choice for the ms as well as the attack speed, pretty self explanatory item. builds into manta which provides some big dmg for tiny as well as some much needed survivability
manta and aghanims. the order you build this is situational, depending on whether you need some survivability or not. manta might seem like a dps item (it is), but its main selling point is the survivability aspect you get through the ability to dodge spells and confuse enemies with illusions etc. If you dont need the survivability, then aghanims would be a good choice because its what makes carry tiny a carry tiny.
after those 4 items you pretty much have the build down, and any other items would be considered luxury. AC is solid for the attack speed and armour buffs/debuffs. bkb for further survivability

ive also seen mjolnir on tiny, which is a good item to get probably before you have aghanims and/or manta, for some flash farming and attack speed boost, kinda expensive though. then again you could disassemble it later and use the hyperstone for AC and either sell the maelstrom or leave it as it is
drums is good too, gives ms/aspd + int boost, but i think getting a yasha out quicker is more important than getting a drums, since yasha gives noticably better buffs for ms and attack speed (when not using the active). besides, drums can always be gotten by someone else on your team

Not always a good idea, but a Mask of Madness greatly benefits a carry Tiny.
