If I am playing Lifestealer vs PL should I get Mjollnir or Battlefury to deal with illusions (assuming the game is going to go on long enough for PL to get heart)

How should I play to maximise gold from creep kills? How long should I stay in lane for?

I say get battlefury if PL has a heart. the mjollnir bounce damage scales off at higher levels but battlefury scales better as you get more items. Both are acceptable items but Battelfury just feels better ultra late against a pl. Mjollnir is better mid game though.

How should I play to maximise gold from creep kills? How long should I stay in lane for?


To maximize gold from creep kills just hit every creep. In pubs it is mostly dual lanes so if you are the carry focus on killing creeps and the support can focus on harassment and stacking and pulling camps. Stay in lane as long as you are getting an advantage out of it, or if you need more items before you can fight. For example, you are in lane but you are getting out zoned and are hardly faming under tower. This is a bad time to stay in lane because you are getting nothing out of it. Try to get a rune and gank or when the other guys go gank you can get some farm. Some heroes are useless without farm (am for example) as these heroes I don't have the best answer for so someone else can add on to this. Usually I try to stack and farm the jungle, giving up the tier one makes it safer for you to farm. Pulling the stacks can be hard because they other team can just contest since they were winning anyways.
edit: there are some examples, such as solo suicide lane against 3, where you just try not to die. Don't worry about money unless you are 100% sure that they can't kill you when you go to last hit. The money comes later in team fights and when you catch up. Ideally these heroes don't need a lot of farm to be useful.

I've been watching some streams recently and I see that some people cancel their auto attacks by what looks like right clicking on an enemy. Am I right in this and if so how is it possible to turn on? It doesn't seem to do it when I do

They use S, the stop command, to do it. They right click right after to keep on target, you spam both to time your attack perfectly

What boot is better for pushing towers/rax? Phase or Power? Say I'm playing a splitpushing NP, would it be more ideal to go Phase or Power on agi?

Picking your boots based on how much damage you do to towers isn't the smartest idea because of all the other implications your boots choice has. As a rule of thumb phase are more commonly gotten for laning because the higher damage allows you to get more last hits with the active helping you to be a bit more mobile while treads are more commonly gotten when jungling (tread switching gives you an easier time with your higher mana consumption).

Uh, tbh that is one of the less important factors to consider when comparing Treads vs Phase.

Bit busy else I'd write more, sorry.

phase is gotten for mobility. treads is the typical choice of boots for carries, since it provides attack speed and hp bonus. to answer cycore's question travels would be the best choice, as it allows you to push wherever you want whenever you can. travels is also the best late game boots simply because it saves a slot

What should I be doing as support when my carry leaves the lane and I am under farmed? Do I sit with him where ever he is going or in the jungle?

if your carry leaves lane just start farming it, lol

I'm actually pretty serious about that, getting some farm on a support is pretty important

Yea I know, but it seems like a lot of the time if I feel like I should be helping another lane, but I will try this.

I'm unsure what to do when I go hard carry such as PA and get shut down early by an aggressive dual (such as pudge + sb) combined with ganks from mid.
I assume in this situation you just have to call for ganks constantly so that they don't snowball and deny your levels and farm.
But let's just say you did get shut down and are lvl 8 when their mids and carries are 3 levels ahead of you, what should you do in this situation? They will be pushing towers and with annoying gankers like sb and pudge you're not safe free farming.. and you can't join team fights with such a low level and no items.

What to do?

You cant do anything. Just farm what you can and hope for the best. Players have to realise that sometimes if you have a bad enough start there is no coming back. All you can do is delay the inevitable or hope for a miracle. This is assuming your team is struggling as much as you. If youre the only one with the problem then you have to rely on your teammates to make space for you to farm.
