Well you deserve that, just think logically, you're a smart person, I know you.

What is Axe for? Tanking, and dealing damage while he gets hit. Which is good, as he can force people to hit him. What way can he force people to hit him? Berserker's Call, his best ability. No matter what stuff you put on him, his DPS will be pretty terrible.

What is the conclusion from this? He's a guy who needs health, health, and some more health. Also, some armor can't hurt but his armor scaling is fine(not to mention he gets shitton of armor from using BC). What else does he need? He needs to effectively catch every opposing hero to force 'em pounding him, returning damage but MOST IMPORTANTLY, giving other team members ample time to focus their shit on whatever opponent has to be burnt down.

What does treads give him? IAS, negligible. HP, not negligible, but not cost-effective either. Get something else if you want HP. -> but you don't need HP first. You need dagger. ASAP. Even if you die (due to not having enough hp to tank 3-5 heroes), it still wins the fight for your team. Repeat a few times, and you won the game.

Being able to think this through is fundamental to improving. Testie is not only good for having excellent mechanical skills - he knows the insides and outs of every hero (mostly due to mass gaming, but he's a quick learner).
Complete the cycle!

Amazingly enough I know all that. There is a reason I don't get dagger first, neither on Axe or on Bradwarden. Two reasons actually, one is TL-dota specific. First one is I just know my mechanics are not there with my knowledge of heroes. I studied them all and learned what they need, but I just CAN'T USE them effectively yet. I might get the dagger on Magnus or ES or Tiny or whatever, I just can't execute the combo right and at the right time so it will still fail regardless. Second is lag. I get 250 ms at best to Mr testicles (Devaz is usually better, but he's never around anymore), so I screw up half of my Berserkers stuns or w/e because of that. I'll learn to adjust, it's just that I know that unless I have some more survivability and speed (can't get BoT quite soon enough) first, I'll just die more and end up doing less than maybe catching up to somebody in a team fight and pulling off the BC on them.

I know my limits, I act accordingly. I'll learn to use that shit later, just not right away.

...you can't blink and shift call because you'll just blink from where you are toward the location, and if youre already in range you dont need to queue it, just spam E D:

so if youre not in range, shift queue move to a location near your target, shift blink, shift call

I liked Shinbi's question regarding dagger.
It's cute.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Yeah it how you should also eat tree to keep moving instead of eating a tree then spaming the direction you want to go shift eat a tree then right click to where you want to go.

It's also good when your are TP TP to the tower and shift right click where you want to go and you will move right after you tp.
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

shift blink shift call. If there's delay, it'll still come out the moment he blinks which is the entire point.

His blink might be misplaced, which is obvious since its the start of the combo, if he's got delay, blinking then non-shift calling gives his opponents time to stun or walk away. Mashing e and d doesn't solve your problem if your commands are being registered a second late. No one's going to telegraph a blink call from 2-3 seconds away, its always a reaction to a clump of opponents during pushes. During ganks, your opponent only has 1 way to run, so delay is normally irrelevant.

dont' use it 100% of time, but during telegraphed combos, like tiny avatoss with delay, it can be a lifesaver.
