So all the games I tried Ring of Basilius, Power Treads and Drum of Endurance - with starting items of Ring of Protection, Gauntlets of Strength, Tango and Healing Salve - this seemed to work for me very well - early stats really helped in lane and even the drum charges combined with Doppelwalk for chasing got a couple of kills for the extra early game burst of speed

Against 2 Ranged Heroes, you didn't pick up a Stout Shield?

In the end I managed to get some farm and some items but their 2 carries were too fat - though I managed to get a load of kills but not enough to save the team - a fun loss though (it might have been different if our Lion did not pick up the dropped Divine Rapier and try to give it to me - which if i had seen quick enough i would of shouted "LEAVE IT !!!" )!

Poor Kunkka, if only he'd been around to grab it ._.

Hi Xyrus - not quite sure about your reference to the 2 ranged heros - I dont recall facing 2 ranged heros in any of the recent games but I do agree that I need to consider a Stout Shield in-lane to help survive the harassment.

And as for poor Kunkka - if you saw his early game and how many times he died to Ember Spirit (as well as a number of the others) you would not have trusted him with the Divine Rapier

I was referring to this one...but I sense you had a fearsome Offlane Anti-Mage to deal with instead of Troll + Silencer.

Can't argue with that X{D

I was facing Anti-Mage and Dazzle in lane and I had an incredibly passive unhelpful Centaur Warrunner - the laning phase was a wriet off basically eventually swapping for the offlane which i got a bit of farm, moved into mid for a bit but in the end jungled a bit and bounced about until I got the core items and could be more effective.
