You use the client to watch them. If you have the matchID then you can search for it from the watch tab.

bfury is like guaranteed 600+ gpm anyway so you can just buy whatever you want after you get it

Well that's kindof the point of this hero. Sometimes you are forced into the build you suggest, but it's really not optimal. AM is a very good early-lategame carry but he sucks if he doesn't have at least manta, and with your build I don't think you can get it before 40 minutes.

I think, going along with what others have said, if you dislike farming with bfury then you probably shouldn't play AM. There are a ton of other heroes who can buy blink and be relevant all game long. Your role as AM is really to farm hard and carry lategame.

am is not a lategame carry as void/spectre/pl/luna, he's the strongest with bfury/manta. So try to be more active when you get those items (25min)

Battlefury AM (or any hero for the matter) is fail unless you can get it very early on. It gives you +65 damage and some cleave, that's not going to help much if your team is forced to fight.
For just 700 more gold you can buy your Manta and you're a beast in fights but slower in the jungle. It's situational which one is better.

I think you mean 45min

JK but I know a lot of people who hit bfury at 25 mins with more-or-less free farm :|.

Carry heros are bad without farm? Good to know! The thing about bfury being "bad" if you can't get it before 20 mins is that almost every other item around 4000gold isn't going to magically make you a manly carry any more than a bfury will. Only-manta AM barely has the mana to TP+blink+manta+ulti at level 11, so you have to be at essentially 100% mana to fight with AM at that point. And while manta is easily the best cheap damage item on AM in terms of teamfight, it just doesn't make sense to build him with no mana regen items. Even in teamfights, you want to be abusing your mobility not saving up that last blink just in case.

Battlefury doesn't exactly give more mana than a 500g RoB or a magic wand, both which are useful for AM.

While AM is strong when he gets his bfury/manta he hits his peak in most games at minute ~35 when he reaches the magic bf manta heart butter combo. (which is 15 minutes faster than most other heroes are able to farm it)

edit: basilus is not slot efficent and gives u a lot less regen than bf, you wont be able to flash farm with blink without the bf.

edit2: going manta on am brings you to a dead end often, if the enemy team has any carry who is not doing this you will get stomped in pretty much every case

Well, thats pretty optimistic for farm in anything other than a pro game, but yes the strength of AM is in his farm speed.

Really, the butterfly isn't even necessary to wreck, but the heart usually is.

ofc any carry reach his peak with full inventory, I was talking by comparison with the other heroes on the map.

You might try going for brawler style AM, Phase Boots, Vanguard.. then Basher, Vlads, Manta, whatever.
It's kind of a joke build and I wouldn't use it in a serious game, but it can actually work nicely once you learn when to go in and when to blink the fuck out of there.
I remember Wagamama doing it on his stream a few days back and stomping.

Except AM will hit full build before any other carry because he farms faster, which is why he still also hits his relative peak at full build. At the point where you have Bfury+Manta, the farm gap isn't going to be as large as it will be when you have full build. Of the heroes listed, the only possible exception to this is PL, and only if PL opts to build Radiance to match/exceed your farming speed.

The difference in "carry potential" of those other heroes doesn't mean a whole lot if AM's superior farming speed turns into an extra major item.

Roaming orge that gank alot in early game with his random gold, yes. Otherwise, really not worth it because you could get smoke/ward with that gold. Maybe unless you are very sure that you can make alot of successful ganking in which case it doesn't matter if you got it or not.
