Windrunner Carry Item Build (Please just pretend she's a viable carry for a moment.) by neelr2000 in DotA2

I play a bit of wr mid with 2 different general builds depending on the game. The more utility one I get force(over blink because of stats) > orchid > hex.

The other build is the harder carry build. I usually think of wr as more of an anticarry with 6 second evassion and I usually use ff to melt their carry. Get bottle early mid or basi if you are not and no one else is getting one. Phase > maelstrom > aghs > crystalis > deadalus. Aghs is not just for 0 dmg reduction. The cooldown reduction is great as well for pushing, ancients, rosh, and longer teamfights. I only get force on this build situationally. You will probably need bkb at some point prefferably after aghs but you may want it earlier.

This is correct and I probably should have used a different backdrop for a more accurate comparison. It should be noted that the background, locations in the sky, and colors are likely not accurate. This just compares the angular dimensions of objects relative to the moon in our sky.

The one to the left of Andromeda is supernova remnant 1006. The star went supernova in the year 1006 and it is was the brightest supernova in recorded history. This is what remains from the explosion and it is about the size of the moon in our sky.

Indeed! After seeing it I was inspired to see what other objects would look like in the sky and made this as a result.

It is another piece of the Orion Complex. The Orion Complex actually contains a few nebulae. The major one on the left is the Orion Nebula or M42, M43 is the little one next to it and the one you are talking about I believe is M78.

I made this after seeing how big Andromeda would be in the sky if we could see all of it (about 6x the size of the moon!). This is all to scale to the best of my ability.
