Any idea why is Lina Middle so low on the list given that pros have recently run Lina mid showing it off to be a 'thing'?

Copy-editing for Lina middle:
Lina is a strong spellcaster that takes down opponents fast through her Laguna Blade and Dragon Slave, her AOE stun, Light Strike Array, is
(comma splice)
thanks to the core items that chases foes
(number disagreement)
the likelihood of Chain Lightning occuring are quite high, allowing you to farm fast and tear down teams in fights impressively quickly.

Much newer guides, that's essentially it. Older guides cloud the rankings

I'll be in Madrid from tomorrow to Monday evening; responses will be slow (a day per response)

Good, a new patch on the 26th

w.r.t Nyx mid guide, if you are going to say "don't get this item if you can't build it by 20 minutes" for Dagon you should provide a Situational alternative.

I'm ready for patch 6.84; there is really nothing I really want to change right now to be honest.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of work in a few days Torte :p

I'm glad to see you are a staff member (can you change the title to 70 instead of 60)
I'm a bit busy this weekend with the launch of issue 3 soon; but I'm prepping some format posts so I can immediately start drafting changes needed to be made.
I will be leaving for Tallahassee on the 7th; so this is an ideal time for a patch change for me.

Not necessarily because you still can't Wall+Vac a meaningful number of heroes with rank 1 Wall.
Rank 1 Wall is better, but the reason you delayed wall wasn't because rank 1 was bad, it was because Wall isn't really that good until Vacuum is high enough rank.

It's not really core. Your Bear actually needs to do enough damage for attacking out of range to be worth it and you dying first is like a complete nonfactor early-midgame with the sheer amount of free stats from True Form/Synergy. It's extension at earliest, really because you're already going to have 1-2 major items by the time you'd consider it, and a lot of the time by the time you'd want it is when the Bear's problem is that it dies too fast more than anything else.

Octarine Core is a must have on pretty much any spell based carry.
OD, Pugna, DP, Necro, Enchant, Silencer, Leshrac, Lina, QoP, Earth Spirit, Silencer, Timbersaw, Phoenix, Zeus, and core Sky/Earthshaker at least. If it interacts with Ward damage then also core on Witch Doctor and Rhasta.
Situational on anyone with a big ultimate that already buys refresher. Not sure if Refresher is better though.

I wouldn't call it "must-have" more than "will probably get by 6 items".
A lot of those heroes want to be ending the game before they could feasibly get the item to begin with. Even then it's questionable on some of them (e.g. Core shaker typically develops a physical damage lategame rather than a spell-focused lategame).

Not feeling very good, just woke up from broken sleep; I'll see what I can do.
