I was the Zeus. A couple notes: as you can see the game was bad from the start they had a 20k advantage but we turtled and brought that back. Eventually we lost to the likes of Luna and Bounty Hunter and their farm at that point.

I was just wondering what I could've done better. What items could I have bought to better our chances? What decisions should I have made? Why did I have 0 Tower Damage?(cuz I suck and I'm Zeus)

PS: Is Bloodstone good on Slark? I was raging at him because he chose Bloodstone and Vlad's over Skadi and Basher/Abyssal and I just want to know if that was justified. Plus, does anyone else see Sniper's farm? Wh-how-I don't even know, I can't fathom how a Sniper could have that little farm that late in the game. Plus the only Shadow Blade that should've been purchased was Slark's. That was just me venting about my team but I am really asking for criticism on my play. Sorry for the wall of text.

20k XP Advantage to be clear, I don't know how to see gold advantage in Dotabuff

Eww, those builds man, wtf. And yeah, Bloodstone is NOT an item for Slark.

I'm kinda wondering why you brought in 25k gold, but only had like 15k's worth of stuff? I'd want to see a Veil of Discord and a sheepstick/orchid on you too. Maybe even a Shiva's, Refresher or other stuff.

Basically there's a limited amount you can do as Zeus once those kind of cores get their BKB's, you were reliant on your cores at that point. Obv enemy team had a big gold advantage (30k), and their builds were better. Two Butterflys on the enemy team, and no MKBs on yours makes me sad :(

Welcome to DOTAfire!

To be honest, this game I would've gone Bloodstone rush.

You could then proceed with Force Staff, Aghanim's Scepter, Scythe of Vyse and the likes.

Only reason not to get Veil of Discord (You could still consider it) is the lack of Magic damag eon your team besides yourself.

Veil of Discord is much better than aghs. Gives you the same damage output and survivability for less gold.

Static Field is his only scaling skill, combined with Veil late game it's massively more effective than anything else in his arsenal.
