We all have atleast one, and I shell tell you mine.
Pudge aghs. Oh my god. Lated game 6th item luxury? Sure! But a part of me dies every time someone rushes it before even finishing their boots, and they haven't even ganked once yet, or gotten a kill, so they have no strength to go with it! It especially hurts when I play the hero and I get asked WHERE MY AGHS IS. Before even finishing my blink dagger or force staff!
Aghs rush on Invoker is pretty bad yeah, but I think as 2nd or 3rd item it can be a situational pickup. I do it when I know I can't rely on my team at all to win so I can wombo combo the enemy team down during midgame.
"95% of my damage may be magical (and therefore can't lifesteal) but this lets me sustain in the jungle (where I'll farm creeps really slowly instead of snowballing like I'm supposed to). After all, it's not like I have an amazing heal or anything".
In fact, any hero who hasn't got enough damage to actually make lifesteal viable yet.
Tbh I think almost almost all items over 5k are not worth rushing (possible exceptions being the ole sheepstick and radiance) as your hero almost certainly won't have the other stats/damage/as etc to actually make good use of them yet.
Other bad ones are strong scaling / physical damage protection stuff like Butterfly, Heaven's Halberd etc as they're just not that beneficial early on when the opposition don't have big right clicks.
Bloodstone rush on Tinker.
It's so garbage tier! Bloodstone Tinker is already controversial enough (why not get a more useful item like Linkens or BKB instead of buying a mana regen item on a hero who doesn't even need mana regen), but Bloodstone as a first item...GG useless Tinker.
Sheepstick is a good item. Why not get that instead? It kind of helps having, you know, game impact.
