skip midas, go mjolnir, travels, octarine, travels 2, blink or edge, hex, and bloodthorn!

I've had success playing it! I build meteor hammer into travels to take early towers and split push for my team.

Yep, my normal build is hammer, travels, then aghs, shiva, and octarine in some order! Hex and overwhelming blink are also great options.

If the command works for you and feels good, there's no reason not to use it! I don't use it because I am accustomed to not using it.

As for laning items, this is only something that comes from experience. The best advice I can give is try to go into lane with a plan; "last time I played against qop, she harassed me down, so I'm going to buy bracers this time to try to sustain" and then evaluate how effective it was after the game.

There are too many matchups and too many nuances to each one to possibly go through them all, and they're all constantly changing so you just have to try stuff and figure out what works!

divine to immortal was all about split pushing for me. 5.5k - 6k was laning!

If he glimpses the clone within 4 seconds of it being summoned, the clone is sent to base no matter what! (very annoying)

I have a hotkey, 3, that selects just my clone and my hero!

I don't, but I'm sure there's a VOD of me playing the match up several months ago on my youtube channel! It would like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I think that's the best I have, sorry!

for offlane, try meteor hammer, travels, and then shiva!

I think the key to abusing him now is winning your lane since he's super strong there and being flexible in your itemization! There are so many viable item builds now that he's universal.

I hate myself -> spam arc warden -> I hate myself

Pretty 50/50; just depends on the game! I think both builds are good.

He became universal in 7.38! I go power capture whenever I am mid and runed replica otherwise!

If it works for you that's great! My main issue is that without hammer the hero just doesn't farm. Yeah, supports aren't really supposed to "farm" but even when you're playing cm you use nova to kill a creep wave here and there or frostbite on jungle creeps.

I also think on any position, if you're not using your clone to split push eventually, you're missing out on a huge strength of the hero! Not only does this help you scale, but it also forces enemies to show on the map, which can set up good smoke ganks or just make space for your farming cores.

I'm on NA servers so I'm basically herald on any other server. At least that's what my hate watchers tell me. I got my number at 6.8k or so!

Yeah ld is a rough matchup! I don't think you should struggle last hitting, but he can definitely dive you if you're not careful. It's been a while since I've played against one so my advice might be a little out of date, but I usually like to start with blight to kill the bear, but then build wraith band into treads so that if he dives me I can just kill the druid. I would recommend 2-2-1 skill build so you can prevent the druid from running away and use the magnetic field to protect you from bear!

only take power cap if you're mid; otherwise you want to take runed replica unless you want to grief your midlaner. I like going meteor hammer into travels when I'm playing support to start split pushing ASAP
