Nice guide! I can see your dedication on writing this. I'm not a good player, but I know what he needs the most from the game is a good pre- laning stage, getting more insight on that is nice.

Btw, You should add Tinker Wards as a weakness of his.

Oh and probably add clockwork as one of the most powerful counter to him. It's like every kind of his abilities is designed to counter .

Oh and perhaps add description to to counter heroes like and carrier.

Thanks for reading this guide... Yes I would add the wards sometime.. :) so be ready for that.. Yes yes is one of the best counters to him but for me the best counter is still because can be a remedy for but against a , you can be forced to buy items like , a casual (yes he deals magic damage but he requires to attack you to deal that damage) or for worse scenarios, even a .

For any carriers, I recommend using this trick : , then while rearming shift-queue your ;-)

Ah yes, never though of that. I'm not a mid player, so I don't really play , neither does my mid friend for that matter. (He's a hardcore or player). So I almost never see the counter for Tinker is SS.

Thanks for that Radiance tip though. I forgot that tick damage is every 1 second.

The counters for are heroes that can catch him easily in the treeline and can lock him down like , and .

This is a good guide! I like it :)

But I do have a question: What factors do I need to consider when choosing between aghs and dagon?

First of all, thanks for reading the guide!! :)

Let me represent my opinion by this ---> > Dagon, yes this might sound strange but for me I can play games with aghs and without dagon but not vice versa... aghs is just so good now especially with that 25 talents so there's no reason to skip aghs... I only go for Dagon if we are stomping so hard that I want to finish the game as fast as possible so we can start a new one and reduce the possibility of comebacks to almost zero or if our team needs more burst coming from my kit...

Kinda sounds biased and crazy but I like aghs a lot more than dagon...

Hope you find this answer helpful... and if you got another question just comment here and I'll reply ASAP.

Thanks man! Personally, I go boots of travel, soul ring and blink, then level one dagon into bloodstone and second soul ring, into dagon 5 into E-blade and scythe. My reasoning is that with a dagon, I can get quick pick-offs easier, allowing for more bloodstone charges, allowing me and my (weak and puny) allies to just steamroll, but I suppose that Aghanim's scepter is the better choice because of the talents and counterpushing. Thank you :)
