The issue with linkens and manta is that they're inefficient, low impact, and in the case of linkens, make you take longer to farm up. Get boots aquila MoM or yasha or maelstrom into SNY, Skadi, some dps item (mkb mjollnir daedalus rapier, potentially bfly), bkb if you need it instead of linkens or manta. You don't get manta unless it's late and u need something to siege highground with.
of course, but try explaining your decisions to someone that is far less skilled or able than you. linkens manta gives people a little bit of everything to make it past the mid game ok in the lower brackets
perhaps a little more guidance could be offered (yasha -> linkens -> finish manta, etc), but its my opinion that the build is the most cookie cutter and has the ease of use that a new player needs.

It's standard guides, ppl are supposed to just follow it until they're good at dota

Valve has fixed a large majority of hair-ripping bugs. I am so relieved.
- Textbox/Confirmation Boxes now function
- Beastmaster Skill Portion is fixed
- Nature's Prophet Mistagging has been corrected
- Previous Errors that prevented the server from loading (Hero Portrait + Error #1264396722 is cleaned up

Today is my birthday, so there won't be much testing or updating.
I think overall, most builds are up-to-date. I'll take a look at Medusa again, but she was recently changed when people brought her up so many times and I just had reason to deny changing her.

What does that mean? Percentage of players using the guide?

Why does that WR guide have support junk on it?
I thought the WR guides were just going to be duplicates? If you buy support junk you shouldn't be rushing aghs.

I want to start removing Healing Salve from some builds. They are sometimes really unnecessary and even I skip them. With the offlane being even more passive than before, I think Healing Salve is more detrimental than useful. Especially if it means earlier Early Game items like Wraith Band that really alleviate the difficulty in last-hitting for some heroes.

The offlane's only passive in pro games. In 2k pubs there's no significant difference, and dual lanes are way more common. They're always going to want more regen.

2K to 3K level Offlane is often squeezed in with a roaming core and another Core (I've seen so many PAs. Abaddons and Slarks in offlane, it's blowing my fucking mind).
It is 100% very passive as they just try to survive or focus on their one or two last-hits.
