    It is highly rewarding when it pays off, but sometimes I fail spectacularly when it doesn't. Things like rushing Blink Dagger as first item, chasing an opponent to a visionless area, Blink+BKB+Eul a burst-able opponent as initiation by jumping in between his entire team, razing enemies in lane everytime he comes up for last hit with constant mango-ferrying etc.

    I feel like if this hero is not played sumail style balls deep aggression he falls off too soon, especially with the magic damage build. Don't you think?

      I usually just farm up and occasionally kill with sb and can still do pretty good

        Not necessarily
        This hero farms rlly fast, so you can play passive, especially if the enemy roamers r rlly on your ass

          be aggressive in the lane and once you are lvl 7 you can afford to go jungling and just raze away those creeps in mid lane

            unless u want to lose ur farm, otherwise being a little bit aggressive is fine. But if u have no great push, it doesn't matter if u kill sf 10 times, if he is given space he can always farm up if he's good

            We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
