Shotgun is so fun though. I'm consistently the only one putting out significant damage and it's usually against a team of 4 carries so I feel like Eblade is actually the best pickup most of the time. I'm usually building Ring of Aquila into treads into linken's and eblade, it varies which I get first but I'm usually getting both, then manta then whatever (games usually don't go past 350 or so CS). I feel like Heart isn't something I really need since I have str morph which gives me ~4.4k HP with manta eblade linken's RoA and treads and waveform usually comes back up in time to get out of a disastrous fight if I started with shotgunning someone (which, since there's usually not too many supports at my level of play, is usually done on a right-clicking carry to take them out of the fight).
Also, [MENTION=3175]IllegallySane[/MENTION]; just push people out of lane. You take like half their health with a right-click at level 1. Treant kinda sucks in pubs where people don't know how to use Nature's Guise or Living Armor.
That's a really good comp they had though. Drags out teamfights amazingly well and Omni can repel on Witch Doctor for free BKB. Lacks a proper carry though (it seems).
You build linkens before eblade? If you are, thats why you are losing with this hero, eblade looses its effectiveness after 30 min, if you cannot get eblade before 20 min dont bother going for it. Also try to buy straight up wraith band at level one, pick morph for the extra 3 str/dex, morph yourself down to 400-450 hp and hf with 75 lasthit dmg at LEVEL ONE. Theres no way to miss lasthits in this situation if you are mid, theres only a few heroes who can beat this, like batrider (but he beats everyone).
I know linkens seems like the perfect item for morph, but I totally disagree. The easiest way to kill a morph is usually through silence (since you can still activate morph while you are stunned), not many heroes have a single target silence or build orchid, it might be useful for hex but I normally do this:
- Straight up wraith band and tango at lvl 1
- Finish ring of aquila
- Treads
- Eblade
- Skadi/manta
I buy magic wand depending on the enemy team, if theres a bat rider you buy it before finishing treads. Picking your ultimate at lvl 6 is very situational, the only effective use of it is escaping at this point, chasing would cost you too much mana, but if you are laning with someone else and you need to go heal, buy yourself a tp, copy the ally and tp back. You spend 100 mana doing this and you can teleport back to your image when you got full hp again, free healing for 135 gold.
