Blink is super good on WK. Honestly I think WK is a good hero, but he really needs a movement speed buff. He's too damn slow.

Blink is super good on WK. Honestly I think WK is a good hero, but he really needs a movement speed buff. He's too damn slow.
I feel like PL needs some way to sustain himself, and there isn't anything that works that great these days. It used to be Tranquils but that doesn't work anymore. Unless you constantly ship salves out to you you can't farm jungle until way later than I would like. Comfortably anyway. If he was given a buff to his skillset that gave him sustain I think he would actually be a somewhat decent carry again. But adding a self heal onto any of skills would seem awkward so I don't know where I'd put it.
I hope this is sarcasm, because then the "best teams" would be flushing close to $300,000 down the toilet to save their "nice tricks" that could be completely invalidated once 6.81 hits (assuming it hits before TI, which it really should...).
The vlads is both for split push and sustain. Since tranquils isn't really viable on PL anymore, PL needs a way to sustain his laning, jungling, and to keep up his mana. Vlads is a solid answer to all three.

Define "core" items in the context of this coversation. Vlads on PL is really good in under 15 or so minutes.

That's a big IF. If he's not, he's falling behind, as I said. It's never a good plan to forget to farm in between looking for kills because of those kills don't come, you quickly make yourself useless.
eBlade Pudge might be a bit much for someone just learning how to Pudge effectively. But undoubtedly worth watching to see how and when he chooses his victims and when he chooses to farm. In this case, almost 100cs in <30 minutes on a Pudge who probably did his fair share of roaming. That's how it should look.
Oh for sure. But he's not gonna be farming all game, so if it goes past 40 mins I'd say 15 stacks at least isn't unreasonable.
I'll never forget the time a Bounty Hunter took safe lane (AND JUNGLE) farm to get the OP ownage that is Battlefury while the Anti-Mage on the team was forced to offlane. Anti-Mage had more kills < 10 minutes of game time. (IIRC Bounty had NO kills in this period of the game.)

The roaming is really efficient (4 kills between 6:00 and 8:00, one bottom, one mid, two tops). I appreciate the use of smoke of deceit and the rune control. The replay is worth a watch.
Strategy-wise, you do your best but you keep secret your newest tricks.
Ok Milk, Anbokr etc, how's this. Give PL an extra 5 hp regen for every point of Phantom Edge.
I have no idea what numbers are appropriate so that may be wildly OP or do nothing at all, but the principle of more regen with points in ult is the main thing. Would this allow him to go straight for his diffusal giving him better early/mid game?

Maybe something like that could be traded for his magic resistance.

Off with his head!
Get in line i said SK was broken ages ago.
How I play Sand King: boots, 2 branches and a clarity at level 1, go get first blood on the offlane hero (works surprisingly often). Go gank mid, skill Sandstorm to level 2. Go stack the hard camp and when there's a suitable number of stacks use Sandstorm to farm it. Then repeat. Always manage to get Arcanes and Blink Dagger quickly using this.

Would it be overpowered for Undying's Scepter to give his zombies whatever attack modifiers he has? His Scepter upgrade is pointless right now, but I was thinking of how cool Skadi Zombies would be. Or Desolator lol.
It sounds stupid broken, but Undying is awful at farming, and is a support, so the chances of him getting more than 1 major modifier before scepter, or even a scepter at all is fairly low.

Silence causes fewer issues then talking about it and having to go back on what you've said in the past.
Do I get anything?
He's pretty terrible at both last hitting and knowing when to go in. Playing heroes that basically just have to right click to victory seems like a noob staple in Dota tho.
I disagree. communication is always better, in like every situation. As long as they're honest it shouldn't be a bad thing
I don't watch the show, which one am I? I that Rob? John?
Because we know they're working on the next update implicitly, and because of Valve's reputation for delivering stuff late. They got themselves into such a pickle with Half-Life 2 that it's no wonder they're pensive about communicating stuff when they don't know it will be ready. Plus, it has a much higher impact if they reveal everything at once out of nowhere.

Rob and John aren't characters in Game of Thrones.

Is Game of Thrones the life story of Boromir before the Fellowship???
