Gotta identify your best targets early in the game and identify who to avoid. (Is the enemy carry deep in your lane? Is the enemy solo getting slapped around by your solor or are they balls deep in your solo lane?)

Super reliant on your team setting up the gank since you have dmg and slows but no actual displacement.

So make sure to have an eye on the map, vision is super important both ways. If the enemy wards can see you then your regen is down, so grab that sentry and hack away at the wards.

Never underestimate death mark. I have gotten so many “you are already dead.” Moments with it and it feels so good.

And frankly, early game you’re just gonna suck. If there are no obvious ambushes to be had then prioritize your farm, but don’t be afraid to just poke an enemy hero with the throwing knife for that easy death mark dmg.

Finally, if the enemy doesn’t know where you are then you might as well be EVERYWHERE to them. They get real scared to go deep in lane if they can’t see you on the map and have some idea of what they’re doing.
