[QUOTE=ChrisDom;38055802]A shadow shaman who didn't take shackles until after level 6 because "he would have been a sitting duck"[/QUOTE]
You could make a good argument for not leveling shackles at all.
Sure, it's a long disable, but it's p. much a really shitty version of Fiend's Grip. Early game, using it in a 1v1 scenario accomplishes nothing, and using it in a team fight is just asking to be focused down. Hex and Ether Shock are both amazing skills.
I generally go for E/W/Q/Q/Q/R/Q or E/W/Q/W/W/R/W, but you could make a case for skipping Shackles.
[QUOTE=Rarara;38075326]How is Skeleton King in ANY way an early/mid carry?[/QUOTE]
i was the puck in that game, and i understand what you mean, but having an Armlet/treads/Skull basher finished at 25 mins, having a teamfight next to you and not helping your team?
thats a dick move.
tired of people telling me to level up witchdoctor's heal past level 1 early on
I need mana too, you know.
For example:
Guy dies because huskar jumps him.
I don't have heal as im level 5 and we didn't have a harass heavy lane
"OH MY GOD I COULD HAVE LIVED IF YOU HAD HEAL"
Yea, my 5hp a second would save you. Anywhere past level 1 early on just eats up your mana, maledict/stun are way better.

funny, because people tell me not to level it period and say how useless it is. but when that 1 or 2 levels in it kept them alive they dont say jack back.
1 level is the most efficient in terms of hp per mana point so until you have a nice big mana pool there's no point
A silencer got mad that our team was dominating his, so he called Lycan (me) baby's first hero. I love to smell the rage in the morning.

Well, that heal can change the tide of fights, specially early, but I'm not sure if it would have helped in that situation.
Someone in captains kept yelling GG when we picked Juggernaut because me and my friend like fun. The two who kept whining ended up Lesh and Naga.
Lesh said we didn't have any initiators (I was DARK SEER >:( ).
Well it all turned out ok, we ended up doing 80% of the work and they fucked up and died 3x as much as we did. Naga kept ulting when I, jugg or Lesh did. It was really, really sad.

it can, but its horrible to have more than 1 point before level 10
There was a three man stack on the enemy team, one of them says "terrible teammates GG", then they all leave, the two guys who stayed until the end were russians and did way better than them
After the game I check the profiles of the people who left to see if they were a stack, and they have some advice animal macros with stuff like "team is russians, gg" "russians in team, win anyways"
Oh the irony
doombringer who used ult on full HP tiny instead of the outworld destroyer who was kicking our asses, or antimage
he only got the speed aura, and never anything else(even tho we told him many times, EAT A WOLF)
he built a fucking scepter when that's the last thing we needed
[QUOTE=Suttles;38081223]it can, but its horrible to have more than 1 point before level 10[/QUOTE]
I usually spend a point on it at lvl 2, just in case we get harrassed/ganked, it does wonders.
I think I might've just popped a blood vessel. The other team has a luna that's basically raping ass and she just got away from a teamfight with like 10hp, but she's tracked by bountyhunter so I can see exactly where she's going. I click to Zeus to see how much mana he has, and unfortunately he is a little under what he needs. She's in the base, almost to the fountain, and Zeus will have enough mana before she walks into it, so I tell him to ult as soon as he has mana.
The second he gets 450 mana, he fucking force staffs.
My neighbors could probably hear how loud I was screaming through the microphone.
This kunkka, his shadow blade expires and he stands near the radiant secret shop, and four people have vision over him, three of them are next to him and gank him

Had a teammate Axe with a blink chasing a low HP Rikki who was debuffed by my Slardar ult
Axe has just enough mana to use culling blade before the ult wears off to get in range, rikki is outrunning him, rikki runs into a TA trap and gets slowed, the situation is "run up to him and ult, DO NOT FUCKING BLINK TO HIM K?"
Axe uses Blink staff anyway. Stands there like a fucking moron because now he can't ult, can't use anything else because he got smokescreened (predictable blinks) and rikki simply vanishes. That was the day I lost a perfectly good monitor and window.

I had an Axe on my Team that built a butterfly as his first item while maxing counter helix. In the same game I had a bounty hunter that put no points into his track when the enemy team had 2 heroes with shadow blades and Riki.

How.. what.. even if there are no stealth heroes, Track is one of the best ultis in the game.. Kind of. How can gondar be so dumb?
Anyway to contribute to the thread; Bloodstone Sniper.
I don't even- .. 5000 gold spent into something that MINIMALLY benefits fucking Sniper.

to be fair
with a ton of mana you can sit back and spam your assassinate
And with a ton of damage and attack speed you can sit back and auto-attack.
I mean, as a sniper if you can't do anything but spam your ult from the safety of your base, I think it's a loss at that point.
[editline]20th October 2012[/editline]
There is really no justification in getting Bloodstone as Sniper.
PA saying we had no REAL carry
Nature's prophet who said he was a carry and complained about no disables
Invoker who didn't level extort until the 45 minute mark.
