Axe [Offlane] - Standard Meta Guide by Der Bestimmer

Introduction

Axe [Offlane] - Standard Meta Build

With the resent changes to Agg Shard, taking Axe out of the game, Axe is back as Offlane Lane Dominator / Initiator (where he belongs IMHO...).
I play around 1k atm and was looking for a reliable Hero in low elo pubs with good impact and good offlane characteristis with well rounded damage, tankiness, CC / Initiation and a decent recovery mechanism. Axe has a solid winrate in lower brackets and although easy to understand still offers enough versatility to master him in various situations and hone one's skill with the hero. So I picked up the Axe...

Since I am just starting out to play axe more, I wanted to make this guide as a kind of follow up to my learning process on the hero. For Build Ideas I mostly look at Dotabuff item statistics, high level player builds and the highest rated ingame builds @Dota 2.

If you want to use my guide ingame, you can subscribe to it here on Steam Workshop:
