Overall, i thought you played this well. There were a few things at the end of the game, but they didn't matter, like you dieing at ~51:30. You could have popped your manta and walked away. Personally, i would have gone ganking more, but I think you made the right choice trying to win the farm battle verses the FV.
*goes to wiki*
*realises that Overgrowth can be be removed by Purge (not just going Magic Immune)*
*facepalm ._.! *
Heart isnt that good of an item on luna, if you'd rather have HP then lifesteal then get skadi, skadi is pretty much the agility carry heart apart from a few exeptions like naga and PL.
Would of preferred MoM over HoD. Makes clearing neutral camps and pushing lanes a lot easier. Only fear would be dealing with Nyx.
Problem with clearing Neutral Camps, is that half my Team was also clearing them 8{3
As for Pushing Lanes, I needed to send my Manta Style Illusions to do that, as I'd be easy fodder if I went myself. There were a few times where I was left to hammer away at a Tower by myself, but I was doing enough Damage without the Attack Speed Boost, and had no problem running away from incoming aggression either. Rat Doto is harder than it looks 8{(
Items are ok I think, but if you took 4-2-2 skill build instead of 4-0-4 you would have much more farm and could end game faster. Generally you want to max your Q and put 2 points in E, then when you lvl up put next 2 points in glaives so that you can easily clear camps in woods and lane.
I've been meaning to try a 4-2-3 build, but it just never feels like the "right" game for it, I considered it in this game, but with a Nyx Assassin and a Treant Protector constantly picking off my Supports from the horn (they tried it with me, didn't work 8{D ), I couldn't afford to Push the Lane even a little this game, since moving away from the Tower meant certain death early on. T-T
Because why not? And I had to post it so now I can show it to Ringo.
And if you want me to give some constructive feedback, your item build was fine and you were playing with good teammates. Maybe, if Nyx had a Blink Dagger, things might've gone different in the mid game, but overall they relied exclusively on a Chronosphere (without counting Overgrowth as you can escape from it with both BKB and Manta) to win fights while you had three different teamfight ultimates and two super farmed carries. A Blink on either Nyx Assassin or Lion was needed in my opinion.
To DzikaPanda: I admit, I'm not a good Huskar player, but I feel like I was much more aware than Ogre and Puck who claimed to be playing with an idiot. By the way, as said before they had even more than 1000 hours of playtime, and this goes to show that experience is nothing if you don't have good friends to play with (or watch competitive games).
And about competitive games, did you see what happened to Team Zephyr? But let's not go off-topic. :D
Early game sometimes you where a it to passive/frightened. I really think you should have got an earlier Aquila rather that a helm because the extra mana regen would have let you spam more.
Otherwise I really liked your item progression besides satanic which you only used once while you where just walking....:S
as said by tim Skadi would have been better, I forgot about skadi lol.
You had some really stupid deaths though.
Summed up things to improve on:
-Be more agressive
-Greater Awareness (I saw you go to camps that I could clearly see morph clearing for example, these things add up)
-Item progression needs to be more adaptable to your needs
-why did your team have like no detection when pushing lanes...? all you guys had was roshan and rune wards practically
Overall I think you played it very well, room for improvement as always. but: 'kid you did good" (bad references)
btw if thats 2100, that fine skill level is much higher there
