Man, I really like Windrunner. Yet, I'm pretty terrible. Can I get some tips? Especially in what items I should be buying.

If you are going side lane solo: Buy 2 stacks tangos, ring of protection, 2 branches (will turn into meka), 2 claritys and ask if someone can get you a stack of wards (even though it might be hard to get somone to buy it for you if you don't play with friends). Then you buy basilus, phase boots, meka and force staff. After that you can get items depending on what your team needs, but hex is a safe pick.
 
For support runner
Force staff
Mekansm
Sheep stick
Linken Sphere

For DPS runner

Daedalus
Aghanims Sceptre
Mjollnir
Sheep stick

Cool. Windrunner is my favourite too; thanks for the tips. I really like her quick ability cooldowns.
 
Huge Korok putting EG in the dumpster, which is funny because he played for EG for a time when he played HoN.

First time I've ever seen an Eye of Skadi bought in a high end competitive match as well.
 
for survivability. I saw it in a few guides. not the morbid, but the heart.

If you are Q/E initiation items and a BKB are good. Blink and/or Force Staff are good, especially for setting up ice walls. I guess Heart would be good for survivability. MKB or Deso are good offensive items. Deso plus Forge Spirits will melt armor. Also Treads over Phase Boots.

*takes notes*

yea, in one of my recent games I was amazed at how well the BKB+Deso was helping Invoker survive vs. 3 hard carries 70 minutes into a match. I melted 2 and almost got the 3rd just standing there with my forged spirits and BKB popped. I don't know if I'll want to try a near-pure Exort invoker again soon (tornado+emp seem so much more valuable to the team...and plus, the team just comes to expect that from Invoker and may not function well with a different style of play. But if I do, I'll definitely go with your thoughts. Treads + BKB + Force + Deso + Heart. Seems fairly affordable.
 
lol milkman and you guys like to win ez going with a full team on pub.

I won't mind if I can join too sometimes, just to get some wins after 6/7 losses going solo queue. >_> Final on dota 2.

Damn, had to abandon a game because I completely forgot about something I had scheduled. There goes my 0 abandons record.

At least my team might appreciate it, we were getting owned pretty bad.
 
"Hey guys we won one lets keep going!"

*SECONDS LATER*

Terrible picks, lost focus, lost all the games. I guess we euro GAF tap out at 1am
 
Poor Ursa on the other team was so drunk he forgot to pick up Aegis, and then had a Windows update disconnect him for 5 minutes. He rejoined and was so apologetic - to the point I felt bad for the guy :<

I think Force Staff is core for WR, even if you go DPS. (if no one else on your team is getting one) Apart from that I agree. WR is one of the most fun heroes to play I think.
 
Forever solo MM, forever cry at worthless Natures Prophet get farm for 30 minutes while lane gets raped. I need item build for wind runner, the Dota suggested ones are terrible
