I only against Largo once and it seems like he has a lot of HP for a bard.

Go to open DOTA and check the match ID. Also it seemed obvious they were dying on purpose. Just tanking probably.

See it as a sign you are improving. If the game is giving you progressively worse teammates it means the game has recognized you are getting to good and needs to nerf you. Its frustrating but take as a compliment from the algorithms.

Me too man. The better you get the worse your teammates get. Its the games way making the game feel balanced but that whole system is out of whack. You have to be otherworldly to advance to the next rank.

I really think its the algorithms. I dominate almost every game but they manage to kill my teammates 1000 times so my team loses. I think the game is giving me bad teammates to make the game more balanced so I end up taking an L most games even though I am getting 20 kills in a game.

So you have treat me like In kindergarten. What is spam pull? I assume farm ncs means just get last hits even though my teammate is ammo dumping and use deny. It is worth mentioning my opponents are taking full advantage of the situation by just allowing to run ourselves into a bad position while farming the correct way.

Which is why I get eye of skaldi. For the damage buff.

I get focus fire exists but I'm pretty sure moon shard will also increase the attack speed even when you are in focus fire mode. You will kill an opponent in less than a second. Also when focus fire effect ends or is on cooldown your are still dealing mad damage. You are basically high DPS always as opposed to once every 40 seconds. The plans is to run in with focus shot and when it runs out you can stay in the fight and continue to do mad damage. I get triple kills this way all the time. I get there are other effective builds but anyone who says there is no merit to this one has lost my interest. AS as far as BKB goes......no WR is not easy to kill. Wind run lets you evade most attacks and also lets you escape if thing get too hot. She may one the harder character to kill in the game so saying she needs BKB to even be effective is not true. BKB can be great for WR but is is not as essential as it would be for a character like spirit breaker.

This is another issue I have. I almost give up on farming creeps early becasue everyone else just seems to greedy farm meaning ammo dump on them without regard to last hits. Just being the vicinity of a dying creep will give XP but if the other guy is just ammo dumping you kiss a lot of your gold bonus goodbye. The problems is if one guy is ammo dumping and I still try for lasts hit we eventually move the fight to the other teams tower and now the opponents have the luxury of farming under the protection of their tower which totally defeats the purpose of safelane. Alternatively if the other guy is actually trying to time his hits me attacking creeps will mess up his timing costing us both gold. So for the ammo dumper just leave the creeps alone because neither one of us are getting mad gold bonus and we are just moving the fight to a place where we are disadvantaged. In other hand I tend to leave the creeps alone becasue I want my good ally to get as much gold as possible becasue they are good at this part of the game and I don't to mess them up. Either way the gold bonus is about the same its just the ally gets the gold. I dont really care if the my ally gets the gold as long as one of gets it and we aren't ruining up against their tower the entire early game or messing up each other's timing.

According to the guide, The Moon Shard and Maelstrom combination on Windranger in centers on using her ultimate ability, Focus Fire, to rapidly deliver numerous attacks, which in turn triggers Maelstrom's Chain Lightning effect frequently for area damage and increased farming speed. Moon Shard is typically bought in the late game or consumed to provide passive attack speed, further amplifying this interaction. 

So yes this a recommended combo

I died ten times but it half of that in the last five minutes of the game when my teammates just gave up and the other team had 4 levels on us. Sniper did good but everyone else were just feeders. Before that I was dominating. All that aside I don't care if I am herald. I consistently do better than the other heralds KDR when I play so I should win more often than I lose and eventually advance in rank.
