So my friend just went phase boots on weaver..... and then went linken's first.
Needless to say, he lost that game.

There's nothing wrong with Linken's first on Weaver though?

I was playing weaver once and my lane partner told me to get Phase boots. I did and the early damage bonus actually helped get first blood, but the active ability was completely useless.
[QUOTE=dual elites;40424203]There's nothing wrong with Linken's first on Weaver though?[/QUOTE]
I usually go linkens first since I'm too much of a pussy to go straight radiance...
Real men don't need any boots on weaver though
[QUOTE=dual elites;40424203]There's nothing wrong with Linken's first on Weaver though?[/QUOTE]
I personally don't like it because it doesn't give him any damage and he gets ignored if he doesn't deal any.
IMO you'r better off going desolater into w/e, I almost never go Linken's unless I'm vs a bane or something.

The vast majority of your damage early on comes from Shukuchi rather than your right clicks. Linken's offers a ton more survivability to you since being stunned or silenced is an absolute death sentence for you. I do like desolator but only as a second item (or third after a naked Vit Booster) since the armour decrease is a %-based damage increase. You're a carry anyway so you may as well get the item that lets you farm more safely than a desolator which doesn't do much.
It's not a "buy every game" thing - obviously you don't get it if they have few targeted disables/nukes - but it's hardly a bad choice.
Phase boots is kind of a dumb pick though.

It doesn't give you much damage, but it does give you enough mana regen to spam shukuchi, lots of stats to tank up a bit, and the passive makes you even harder to kill.
Oh my god, last 4 games in a row the enemy team has five manned mid and in this one there was Nyx, Pudge and Life stealer. The pudge was going off about how he was "pro" and he had bought as many expensive items as he could.

I don't get why people pick pudge when they want to be "pro" he is the single most played hero in the entire game right now.
tbh i dont like radiance in general, all that buildup for damage and nothing else, and half its value is lost if you don't get it first thing.
i'd find it comparable to battlefury; it's a farming item. unless you have the wombo combo aoe lockdown teamfight potential, you're an easy target in teamfights. difference being that battlefury at least gives you some ability to stay in lane/jungle to farm and actually scales with the user.
alchemist, treant, and maybe bristleback are the only heroes i'd consider it worthwhile on
I hate when a carry farms all game while his team gets wrecked then comes out and wins it single handedly then brags about it like its something special.
It's like, bro that's what you are supposed to do, do you want a fucking medal for doing your job.

I treat Radiance on Weaver like I do on Necrolyte: only get it if you are literally freefarming or get a shitload of kills early, like <15 minutes, else go for another build.
I hate people so much, I am so tierd of five manning and pudge pros. Its seriously ruining the game for me.

Because his success is 100% based off your reliance on a pure skillshot ability. People watch high level Pudge play and go holy shit I can do that, then proceed to miss every hook, hook creeps, or hook allies. Monkey see, monkey do. Same goes for Invoker, but it's alot more prevalent with Pudge players

I get that but pudge is not really that incredibly hard of a hero to play, he has one ability that is difficult but can be learned in a short amount of time, not mastered of course. If people really want to play a hard hero, try playing Chen or Visage seriously, they are some of the hardest in the entire game to play well.

even then i'd rather have more mana/regen to spam shikuchi and death pulse

Chen and Visage can get easy kills, as they both have really great nuke spells and micro isn't difficult its just intimidating. Pudge is a harder hero, everything falls on positioning and landing skillshots, much like WR and Jakiro. It sounds like you are in the low bracket and a Pudge can have an easy time snowballing. A high skill game Pudge is one of the hardest to play when you have wards everywhere and people are constantly attackmoving between attacks.

I disagree entirely, I don't think skillshots are more difficult than good micro. Also no, I am in a fairly high skill bracket, atleast the upper middle, I am playing with a friend at a lower bracket though so it could be because of that. The problem was not that pudge snow balled on his own, he 5 manned to victory.
Micro isn't difficult. I used to be intimated by heroes like Chen and Meepo until I randomed them nonstop. They aren't difficult compared to landing shackleshots, pudge hooks, and rattletrap hooks.

I'm pretty sure Pudge isn't harder than chen, dude.
micro is harder than skillshots
but a pudge that cant hook is much more useless than a chen with poor micro
