She is the hero I enjoy so much to play in pubs because I can be aggressive at level 1-2 but can also become unstoppable in the lategame. Unfortunately, she has so many glaring weakness. Its so easy to counter her. I want some help in getting a solid and refined build. Currently I'm using only 1 build order: core: ring of health-boots- (battlefury rush) 20 min-25min = battlefury, threads, bkb, demon edge/satanic. bonus story: I first picked her yesterday and the opponent picked every possible hero to counter her. Doom, Tiny, Warlock, Storm spirit and Spirit Breaker. At level 1, me and my lanemate pudge harassed the hell out of tiny before he can level up his skills. I had pudge with me in the lane and he traded with the two heroes and bought me time to get my battlefury early. In spite of this, my team of kunkka, necro, pudge and rexxar are constantly losing in team fights. The opponent's deathball was relentless in pushing us but I was able to get my bkb and cut them all to pieces while defending our last two towers...... it was a great game because I wasn't expecting to win with their lineup. TLDR: I want to know if it is ok to go battlefury every game or will a time come where a bkb will come first? I prefer to be pro-active in building my items because being reactive defeats the purpose of being mortred. Also curious if this can work in in house games with all the right support heroes. I personally think going hard lategame carry with Bfury first is using Mortreds against her own skillset. She excels at ganking and kinda lacks teamfight ability. Especially compared to a hardcarry like faceless void, who really excels in teamfighting. Vlads/Orb of Venom/Maelstrom gives much smoother transitions(especially laning power with basilius) and the majority of the items can be bought from the sideshop. 2 gripes I have with Battlefury are that the 150% mana regen is wasted on her and that a random crit can reduce the whole creep wave into low hp region so they get killed by your creepwave, ruining your lasthits. Competitive teamfights are far from clustered enough so you can cleave a crit to a second enemy, leave alone cleave the whole team. Exceptions are of course Magnus, Dark Seer Enigma and the like which have spells that cluster people up. If you are drafting that kind of lineup, than Sven is the superior choice as carry. So in short, PA has very bad laning which can be helped a bit by a basilius and a stout shield and is actually a way better ganker than similar looking heroes since she has very short cooldowns and low mana costs on her spells. Building her towards things that other carries do much better defeats the purpose of picking her, so build her towards her strength. | ||

also there's no reason to pick pa over better carries like antimage kunkka can hit pretty much whatever he wants, he does full damage to everything except the main target, but you can just hit the main target a couple of times if you need to | ||

But in addition to Morphling's base damage nerf, his cast times were also increased, his morph mana cost was increased by 50%, and you are no longer able to cast spells/items/attack while in waveform. | ||

after his cast animation got fixed nobody wanted to play him anyway, and the waveform attack/casting thing is really annoying he's still decent but not better than luna/gyro/pl/w.e so there's not really any reason to pick him | ||

Before he was being run mid remember, because he could win it easily, now I'm not sure who he beats mid (if anyone). And then if you run him in a tri he has no lane presence, which in this era of tri vs tri you pretty much need. | ||

What I mean is that, even though a basedamage buff might be what he needs, Icefrog will probably do something crazy like change his Waveform into something else or whatnot. But in any case, along with the basedamage buff (since I personally don't think that it's enough) what else should be buffed, Morph or Waveform?The base damage really hurts though. He now has less level 1 damage than even sniper. And only half the range. You're almost required to take level 1 morph and morph agility to last hit in lane (though that makes you more squishy so :/) Before he was being run mid remember, because he could win it easily, now I'm not sure who he beats mid (if anyone). And then if you run him in a tri he has no lane presence, which in this era of tri vs tri you pretty much need. | ||

Her spells cost 15 mana and 50 mana. A medaillon of courage provides over kill mana regeneration. Agree though that other carries are better at things you expect from a carry. | ||
