EPTbutterfly and ac both increase attack speed and ehp and probably is gotten by most core carries as a 5th or 6th item. however ac is often gotten on much ealier on secondary carry heroes when they already have a damage dealer. examples of this would be a dk who went mid and has a freefarm carry on his team.

Just curious, but how do you feel about AC on a 1 position Tiny? | ||

Though tbh, Agha->AC probably makes more sense if you started with Arcanes->Blink whereas, Yasha->Manta makes more sense with Treads/Phase->Janggo, due to the fact that Blink reduces your need for the Yasha/Manta MS. | ||

You know, i've been doing exactly that on my tiny games without thinking why am i doing it that way, then you explained it with such clarity that I am astounded. However I must still say that AC is always good regardless of which build order, simply because of the attack speed. As a tiny you dont care much about damage item, but you want the attack speed. | ||

I dont really see the downside to this, since they have to last hit under the tower. | ||

People say auto attacking is bad but sometimes you can autoattack the enemy wave so your wave pushes forward and dies under their tower and then the next wave meets at the same spot as before. I dont really see the downside to this, since they have to last hit under the tower. You want to avoid pushing your creeps to their tower too early as it is pretty much free exp and farm for them. You want to keep the wave closer to your tower as that keeps the enemy more exposed to ganks as well as making it harder for them to actually deny you your farm. http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Creep_control_techniques#Equilibrium | ||

The last hitting under tower is an advantage in some cases because it is easier (unless both creep waves are meeting under a tower) | ||

sometimes you actually do want to push the wave into their tower so it pushes back (especially in mid) but it's kind of rare | ||

It varies a lot from matchup to matchup, but in general, matchups in which a level advantage allows you to snowball very hard (often due to having a chance to kill the enemy hero with your level advantage), especially against ranged heroes, favor denying. Why do you put an emphasis on denying being of additional importance against ranged heroes? I mean, I had thought a deny gave equally less xp to an enemy hero whether they are melee or ranged. Is that not the case? edit: I see, didn't realize that. | ||

The amount of experience enemy heroes get for a denied unit is determined by the following: Each melee enemy hero in 1200 range of the killed unit gets 36/n experience, and each ranged enemy hero gets 18/n experience, where n is the total number of enemy heroes within 1200 range. | ||
