The necrophos guide linked in your post actually leads to the medusa guide, and the sven guide in the top 5 list links to the leshrac guide (the sven guide in the notable growth section is fine)

Fixed, thanks! I will do a small summary round-up after I fix the front page.

I found it strange as well. Even Sven was a marginal growth when compared to others.

Shadow Shaman Lane, wouldn't it be better to max Hex before Shackles? Its pretty rare to be able to get 5second shackles off. Hex is more reliable.

i agree i often max hex over shackles but it can be good to max shackles especially if you have good synergy with someone else for example ursa/jugger/troll etc.

That warrants getting 2-3 ranks of Shackles, not maxing it. By the time you're level 9-10, most fights don't play out where you can channel Shackles that long regardless, and most of those synergies only come into play while you're still laning.

The prime motivation behind the extra 1-2 ranks of Shackles is that its mana cost scales less aggressively than Hex at rank 2. The higher ranks don't have this benefit, and by the time you are level 9-10, you will have Arcane Boots. Particularly since Blink costs no mana, the mana concern is less of a big deal at that point, so you usually want to start boosting Hex at/before then. You might be 4-1-2 or 4-1-3 then max Hex, but it's somewhat rare that you'd get to 4-1-4.

you should add a laning weaver build, since weaver mid isn't exactly common

(if you go through with that i would change the skill build from maxing swarm 2nd and geminate 3rd to maxing geminate 2nd and swarm 3rd)

There is no mid guide for kunkka which is the most common position for kunkka the guide for him is "lane". The existing guide has a weird skillbuild, x-mark gets skilled late and a lot of people don't max x-mark as 2 levels will set up an easy torrent combo and 3 set up an easy boat combo. There is very little benefit for the last point, there are some cute tricks such as x-mark yourself and tp to fountain to heal up and refill your bottle and stuff like that but for an average player that isn't used to kunkkas timings less levels are better.

instead of maxing torrent at 8 and 9 getting 2 points in x-mark seems more normal (some even play 1221), and later you maybe want to consider maxing stats instead of getting more x-mark.

How does the mid build differ and what about the items? I've noticed no one really goes SB any more

kunkka is one of the few heros that can still get a shadowblade as the impact hit dmg is really good on him. I think you can't crit with the impact damage but it works on tidebringer if i remember correctly.
In mid you usually get something along the lines of bottle, phase, drums, (if shadowblade its around here), magic wand, crit, after that you get more crits or bkb or divine rapier, eventually heart if you die too fast.

There is also support kunkka, i think chuan played it in ti 4. As support kunkka you don't get any points in tidebringer, you level x, torrent and boat. http://www.datdota.com/skill_build_details.php?id=769290012&slot=9

Ever since the patch that stopped shadowblade backstab damage from critting in addition to all the other nerfs, shadowblade has been rather lackluster on kunkka. Blink is generally a better item now for the utility and the ability to x-mark yourself and be able to cleave the enemy team without giving them reaction time. Also, while newer players probably don't want to max x-mark, since the timings get thrown off, it's not particularly difficult to hold off on the boat for 1 second after casting x, while the additional range and 2 seconds of allied mark is really quite valuable.
