Windranger's Lore

The western forests guard their secrets well. One of these is Lyralei, master archer of the wood, and favored godchild of the wind. Known now as Windrunner, Lyralei's family was killed in a storm on the night of her birth—-their house blown down by the gale, contents scattered to the winds. Only the newborn survived among the debris field of death and destruction. In the quiet after the storm, the wind itself took notice of the lucky infant crying in the grass. The wind pitied the child and so lifted her into the sky and deposited her on a doorstep in a neighboring village. In the years that followed, the wind returned occasionally to the child’s life, watching from a distance while she honed her skills. Now, after many years of training, Windrunner fires her arrows true to their targets. She moves with blinding speed, as if hastened by a wind ever at her back. With a flurry of arrows, she slaughters her enemies, having become, nearly, a force of nature herself.

Uhm, I do not find going against a Drow hard when I am using WR. I think it is just on how you carry her though.

Quoted:

Yeah, Windrunner definitely needs more gold than most to reach the points that Drow Ranger or Sniper and their ilk can reach. This is largely due to her not having any passives, whereas Drow Ranger has Trueshot Aura and her Free Agility ult while Sniper has both Head Shot and Increased Aim.

Though, one game I managed to farm a Scepter as well as a Daedalus... It was awesome. Critcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcritcrit

I do not know any hero that couldn't benefit from a bit of food. Even Pudge :3

semicarry or hard carry, no such thing as hypercarry...
& windrunner is at best a semicarry, nowhere near a hard carry ...

Is it not just called Hard carries? Since I've played for several years and never heard of the term hypercarry :)
