So I had this really good game today, which I was wondering if anybody could/would be bothered to watch. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1535392133. I think I did okay, I followed the slahsers way build, to a point. I got aghs daedalus but then went off on my own way. I know it's probably hard to pick out stuff from a sorta stomp, but is there anything I can do to improve? I'm sure there is.

Thanks,
Bunkansee

Late Desolator? just nop
Slasher way is outdated this paatch(it worked for6.83), you do not farm creeps, you farm heroes
this game you needed hard a linkin sphere or lotus orb because of lina, she is a hard counter
soooooooooo you need your Blink Dagger for gank purposes ASAP, then aghanim scepter and magical defense item as this is Wind´s weakness
me? i have moar 200 games of wind just in dota 2 :)

I watched a part of this matched, "live". Hahahaha.
You did pretty well carrying those scrubs (just kidding, ChiChi). Your items were okay, the only "bad" option there is Desolator, which doesn't fit Windranger's Focus Fire at all - it is good if you need to push hard, but you were balling out of control, so no need of extra pushing power. With her, your best options are proc items - Maelstrom (giving you AoE presence), Monkey King Bar, Daedalus and even a Skull Basher is 100% legit on her - you have max attack speed with a 10% Bash (the same % value as Troll Warlord). Scythe of Vyse, Shiva's Guard and Eye of Skadi are also legit options for her.

So, if I understand this correctly, Desolator is a good item only for a pushing kind-of Windranger, and if you get it early?

After seeing Bunkan's Wind I'm tempted to visit the hero again following his tips :) I was definitely the scrub saved by his deathly arrows.

Btw, OldKainen, my bf is also Brazilian ahah I'm Portuguese myself. If you want to, we would glady play with you some time (my name in the game now is Katniss Everdeen, and he is Tirolone, before Ariranho lol, and we're friends of Bunkan already)

exactly, btw did bunkan get Orchid Malevolence? (dotabuff is blocked in my gf's computer for reasons), if not, then get it its very good paired with her Focus Fire

Edit: also you can get Medallion of Courage :P (turn it to Solar Crest later)

Thanks, IgnoranceIsBliss. Bunkan didn't. By the end he had Aghs, Deso, Daedalus, MKB and BoT. I'm not sure on the order of purchase, I was too busy with my dying all the time to see it properly :D


I usually did buy Orchid Malevolence on my games, specially because I struggled for mana, but I found the results very frustrating, and I read some guides that said it was very situational. I'm not sure now when you should get it, besides those games where you have some very annoying mage like Storm Spirit. And if you do, at what point in your build?

I get it when you cant kill a certain hero and he is getting rich because you can't kill him, examples are enemies like Storm Spirit, Anti-Mage, Bounty Hunter and spell reliant heroes such as Timbersaw, Leshrac, or those heroes who have big spells that can turn the game around such as Omniknight, Tidehunter, Enigma etc. plus that 30% damage amplification is really sweet.

So from what I gathered here, deso is a no go? And I usually get blink dagger, but I decided to go for like the most risky full dps build cuz I was killing people left right and center. Thanks for the help people.

If you want to go full DPS... Maestrom gives more DPS than Deso.

Usually, if I'm stomping, I go:

Fazes >> Maelstrom >> Blink >> BKB/Linkens? >> Agh's >> MKB >> Sell Maelstrom for Abyssal

Or if I'm getting crushed:

Fazes >> Vlad's >> Force >> Atos >> Maestrom >> Agh's
