plus, midas has been really weak for a while now, unless you see an enormous benefit from hitting level 16 ASAP. the issue, lately, is that if you use that midas to build a big lead while the rest of your team is simply average, you're actually a liability because not only are you super-leveled compared to the enemy..but you're highest on networth by far and away. you're basically a walking sack of gold and xp.

so you'll see heroes like wraith king greatly benefit from midas so that he can hit level 16 for the CD on reincarnation. since he has reincarnation up so frequently, it becomes difficult to kill him and fork over that massive lead so easily. some ppl see slark this way too where pact + ulti makes it difficult to kill you and reap the massive bounty. alternatively, you'll see supports like ancient apparition get it because his ult needs to be maxed out asap to have maximum impact.

most ppl prefer shadowblade as soon as possible, but in the instance where shadowblade and solo pick offs are not going to get you anywhere, midas + blink is how I've seen him built by people like comeh. however, he noted that he only did that in an organized environment because he could reliably get his team to initiate with him after the blink pounce.

and the people using your guide are not comeh and are not in an organized team environment where everyone is on the same page. IMO midas is definitely situational on slark.

For mirana support I recommend going arcane -> mek -> blink -> greaves instead of getting euls

In general Midas is stronger than ever since you get 250% experience from the ranged creep. You dont need to leave the lane to get the benefit of killing larger creeps.
