I feel like 4sticks/8tangos/1circlet is a better starting build for morphling, either that or something with a mango (which is super good value on morph because 1hp regen per second is way better on heroes with low HP).

Well thats a design choice i wasnt familiar with, good to know.

Then obviously Refresher belongs to Extension items, not that im huge fan of it anyways like i said.

Also Situational is a bit misleading atleast for me, doesnt it mean "sometimes good, sometimes not" rather than "between these if u struggle".

I dont have a better word for it tho and im not against using the word, just little something i realized.

Or its just me and my mind turning something obvious to something completely inaccurate.

Initially, hero skill builds were accounted for how difficult a hero was played, thus their skill build would be leveled in a way that was easier to understand or execute for the hero (Storm Spirit, Meepo, Invoker). That’s been changed to how a hero is just traditionally played instead of the best entryway to play a hero. The balance between deciding what new subscribers wanted and what purposes the hero build were for made this an especially difficult decision.

Different tabs of an item build have different purposes and order:
• Early Game and Core Items are placed in sequential order of purchase.

• Situational Items are items intended to be bought before, during or after the Core Items
sequence.

• Situational and Extension Items are ordered by cost and not by priority due to too much
difference in opinion and fluctuation in how fluctuating matches end up being. Users are to
read Extension Items as choices depending on what’s needed.

• The Luxury Items tab seldom appears in a guide, only when a hero is especially diverse
late-game and there is a dual-stage priority in the items suggested.

‘Safety items’ are always promoted (Stout Shield [for melee heroes], Black King Bar and Magic Wand). This is due to the common issue of players often skipping smaller items to go for their Core. It’s important to instill good practices when choosing which items to purchase.

Are you interested in people looking over all and comment on them? Or, well, in my case I guess I'd only look over the heroes im familiar with and feel I have a strong and solid opinion on.

I dont wanna get into nitpicking (sometimes just about every item could be situational on some heroes...) and I also realize that the guides are made for primarily for new players so getting into the finer details of a hero is probably out of place too. But im sure I could provide some insight to some heroes here and there.
