This is not true, its based on when you started queuing. First to q gets a higher slot. In the highest/lowest MMR, this tends to be the person with the highest/lowest MMR because the search algorithm waits longer to try and find closer matches. In the middle MMR's, there isn't much difference. | ||

Then it depends on how game goes, but scepter after huge upgrade for Pandas and cd reduction is ridiculously good. Force staff, bkb, euls, ghost scepter, shivas, heart of tarrasque, even cuirass or some damage items like mkb are good. If you sure in your power you can go even farming Panda on #1 position, get pt/armlet/dagger and be like Slardar with way more fun. You rarely care a lot about ranges as Panda. Probably some dudes like Drow or Bone Fletcher can be annoying but you always can get point in W and RNG karma to succeed. Does the skill build change much between Mid and Lanes? | ||

Of course, this depends a lot on the game and the lanes in question. | ||

And max clap and passive in a sidelane. Duo offlane brew + shadow demon is superlegit 2v2 situation when they have a useless jungler like LC. I think drums are pretty bad on brew and not worth the money. Mid go Phase + Bottle + Wand -> Blink -> Agh -> Shiva/AC/Abyssal mix. Also imo better to let someone else buy vlads. Even though Brew is a really good aura hero those items are generally slot inefficient in his case I think. Most gems will be given to him so Phase + bottle + wand + TP scroll + blink + gem + aghs is already 7 slots. So you are already starting to replace items by this phase of the game. Better let someone else get vlads/drums. Side go Arcanes Magic wand/stick -> blink -> agh -> Shiva/AC/Abyssal mix. A bit more reasonable to go vlads here, but I would still avoid it unless you have a bad game. | ||

Also think vlads on him is like vlads on meepo. It's ok, not bad but not good either. You rather get someone else to get it. I actually think shivas is the best item for panda after blink. I just don't like going straight for it after blink cause you're still squishy without any hp increasing items. Blink -> something that makes him not die in a stun after he blinks in -> shivas. | ||

There are a few exceptions that are mostly bottle-crow mid matchups or heroes that have no way to handle Flame Guard, but on the whole, his laning is quite weak unless the opponent lets you stay in lane comfortably till level 7+.

There are a lot of 1v1s Razor loses, and certainly not just those 2. LD, Broodmother, Shadow Demon, etc. | ||

How long does it take to get out of low priority? Is it time based or do I have to play a certain number of unranked games before I'm out of it | ||
