You need to build tanky items on her, which is why she works best when played as a carry. Also, if you live through your ulti it puts you back at full hp. I have been having great success with solo mid krob, bottle phase boots bloodstone heart/shivas depending on magical or physical damage. Late game i can solo whole teams because I get so stacked ( they're hilarious games because of the 1v5ing). Works at most levels of matchmaking.

But I hate relying on procs during laning phase. Any clue as to whats best? I generally max charge then bash and save empowering haste until last. It doesn't give you much except for extra MS, and the bash gives you a lot more because it works off of ms instead of straight damage. You need to max charge first and put at least 1 point into bash early though. Other than that im not sure.

People take stats on jugg early so they have enough mana to spin-->omnislash, on sven early for more nukes. SK takes stats because vamp and crit are awful early game. The AM burning build takes lots of stats early, relying on being more tanky and having blink to be able to get out of ganks safely and to allow am to farm more because of never dying. Old school lion gets stats over mana drain because generally if you're using mana drain on someone and standing still for 4 seconds you're gonna die. It also used to be an awful spell, and im not sure how good it is now, since hex and impale are amazing spells. I sometimes take early stats on drow if im not going frost arrows because i dont need trueshot yet and 0/1 point of silence is enough for me (not on the new drow though probably.., haven't played her yet). If you're more specific as in "when do i get stats on X hero" I can help you out a lot more | ||

I build him so when i hit lvl 7 i got 1 stun, 4 crit, 1 ulti, and depending on sitution, either aura or 1 stats. This makes him a monster midgame when you get full armlet, ofcourse if you're planning to farm longer time, feel free to get stats instead. Drow is a bit more tricky, trueshot is reallly good, but she's also really fragile. Lions new manadrain is good, and 1 point is quite good to have. I can guarantee that you'll find uses out of it. Cant really see stats fitting in with lion since you'd want to max out stun and hex asap. and then its like stats at lvl 12-13? For me, i rarely take stats on any hero, skillpoints are too good! | ||

That's funny, because 1 stun 4 crit and 1 ulti is quite horrible on SK and maxing stun is by far the better build early on. Unless of course you're saying that you have treads, soul ring and armlet at level 7? Lmfao. And there are plenty of heroes where going stats is good. Such as: Juggernaut(Same idea behind jugger as behind SK, no need to get crit untill you actually have items to back it up, and they both need mana horribly.), occasionally morphling, CM, WR(Skipping ulti), Occasionally leshrac(Skipping lightning or something similar), Occasionally sand king(Skipping caustic), ES(Only 1 level enchant) and obviously all other heroes with one point wonder skills. | ||

The skill description has the damage bonus written as a distinct element from the rest of the Bash effects. So not a different effect, just a badly written skill? | ||

What is the typical support skill build and items for him? General support starting items(wards, courier, smoke if you want to roam), but you will most likely not play him as a hard support. You can get the mek if it really is necessary, but if you have other players who complete it than you definetly should go for forcestaff. He needs the mobility a lot, after that point you could build additional mobility with Blink dagger and euls, or go for more supportive items like drums, medallion of courage. Skillbuild is generally just max fade bolt and then telekenisis, take ultimate whenever possible and then max his passive. One point in passive early on can't hurt against cast heavy lineups. | ||

Or does everything get displaced to a certain radius? Probably something people should know, but it's not listed anywhere. from memory the closer the impact the further you go | ||

To mute a player's in game voice, just click on the player tab located towards the top left, and then right click on that players name. The option to mute him should be there. | ||
