If u have the farm and ur team needs it it's still definitely good. I'd have it situational really.

BM has a lot of different viable item progressions depending on how much farm ur assigned and what ur goal for the hero is. I still think necrobook is among the best as it pushes obscenely well with his aura plus opens up solo-kill possibilities vs roared targets.

As a remind, these heroes still need ratings and feedback, I unfortunately need to be more of a pest about it because they are difficult to attract attention:

Kunkka (Middle) Build
Weaver (Lane) Build
Dragon Knight (Middle) Build
Skywrath Mage (Lane) Build
Tusk (Middle) Build
Naga Siren (Middle) Build
Elder Titan (Lane) Build
Ursa (Lane) Build
Nyx Assassin (Lane) Build
Axe (Jungle) Build
Ember Spirit (Middle) Build
Lifestealer (Lane) Build
Shadow Shaman (Middle) Build
Earth Spirit (Middle) Build


  • Growth of Subscribers still manages to stay at 2 million growth since August 3rd.
  • Growth Rate Percentage hits all-time low at 5.63% -- Lowest since the guide project back in 2013.

  • 11.16% of last month's unique players [9,445,614] are subscribed to the Lifestealer (Jungle) Guide
  • Patch 6.82 creates massive waves of new subscriptions for a variety of heroes due to many other popular guides suddenly no longer working (example: suggesting juxtapose at level 4 when it cannot be selected [since it is an ultimate now])

  • Top 16 guides are approx. 500k subscribers or higher each (up to 1 million in a guide)
  • Top 39 guides are approx. 400k subscribers or higher each
  • Top 65 guides are approx. 300k subscribers or higher each
  • Top 99 guides are approx. 200k subscribers or higher each
  • Top 112 guides are approx. 100k subscribers or higher each


Next checkpoint: Oct. 18th, will be our last stats check before our annual round-up! We've been collecting statistics since Oct. 30th, 2013 and we will now see what a year of following growth will look like with some neat graphs and shit (as soon as I figure it out)

Thank you.

I'm mainly looking for feedback on Sniper and Leshrac builds as I am the most unsure about those.

Sniper is prolly best going
w/e/q/q/q/r/q/e/e/e/r

if ur mid u want a bottle.

lesh is realllllly flexible and game dependent. I think ult is a value point until 4/4/4/1 though.

Stun maxing makes it easier to hit stuns and is your highest "up front" damage.
Edict maxing is primarily for pushing, but is very powerful for that
Lightning maxing is good for farming and is your highest theoretical DPS in fights.

What skill you prioritize is completely dependent on the game. In a high-skill scenario I think stun stays at level 1 for a long time if you have setup, but for guide-readers I think stun maxing is the most reliable build.

Yeah IMO the simplest, most brain-dead can't fail cookie cutter build for lesh would be q/e/q/e/q/r/q/e/e/w/w/w/w/stats/r/r/
Items are basically urn into euls into luxury (force, atos, hex, shivas, blink, heart, whatever).

I'd say E-max Leah is more "brain-dead" than Q-max but otherwise that's right.

When I used to play carry Leshrac, I maxed E for harassment + bottle made infinite Lightnings, then max Edict for the easy tower before moving onto the next tower.

Never got a point in Q, so the build is pretty bad but I got a lot of success out of it.

I'll fix Sniper now

Regarding Pugna starting items, clarities are impractical on most mid heroes because you can't step away from the lane long enough for them to be practical.

Either you start a bottle rush start like 3 branch + tango (rare because Pugna is a strong laner and there's only a small handful of laners you'd need to be that pussy against) or you want the salve so you can play aggressive with your pre-bottle regen (and if you're not finding it useful you're probably not playing your pre-bottle lanes aggressively enough). Clarities in your starting items rarely make sense for a mid hero.

You only need 1-2 points in Edict to bust towers and delaying Split Earth loses a lot of burst damage.

Sniper mid proofreading:
Mask of Madness is great for whether you're ahead of behind


A great item for Sniper as he wants to tear down foes before even approaching him.

This should say "before they even approach him", right?

(Manta Style) This item works great for sniper


(Butterfly) Given Snipers low life, Evasion is not a bad idea given Snipers

This description is totally garbled. Also, the description should mention its use as a MoM-like escape item.

Maelstrom and Mjollnir let's you never needing further attack speed again and offering further forms of farming and dishing out effects including your passive: Headshot.


Shrapnel can be used on towers or to illuminate areas, if unsure if an area, try using shrapnel to see if it is safe. Additionally, it can be used to slow down opponents if can be maxed first if you want to harass them out of mid.


Headshots damage is great

The Pugna guide is a Lane version however. Would this rule still apply?

I'll fix Leshrac in a sec, maybe delay R in this regard. I'm not quite sure yet.
In the lane version, he has an early point in R.

If you're playing a sidelane farming Pugna you start with a RoP because you're going to get a Basi (Basi is really important for breaking sidelane towers), and starting health regen becomes even more important. If you're playing a support Pugna I'm not helping you write a support Pugna guide because that's now how the hero should ever be played, lol.

Mid Lesh can take all 4 skills because he gets earlier mana items and has Bottle. A sidelane support Lesh needs to be conservative with his skill choices because mana is way more limited and you can't feasibly use all 4 spells until you get a chance to get more mana for yourself (possibly even taking Stats over skill points if necessary). This is why traditionally, support Lesh has tended to focus on 2 skills first and waiting on getting ult and the 3rd skill
