Seeing Kunkka owning (26-(motherfuNking ZERO!)0-10) having only Phase Boots, Magic Wand and Bottle really got me thinking I'd like to stress the importance of 'guide-writers' focusing on two things:
1) MORE teamplay/gameplay strategy and interaction with friendly heroes' skills ( Lion + Kunkka = gg, for instance (we just saw it this Sunday)! Similarly Ursa with Shadow Shaman...).
2) Having a special (sometimes called a fall-down) ITEM BUILD of cheap items that can easily be bought when you're (almost) feeding, or switching your hero item build to a more UTILITY one - so what you're playing Juggernaut?!? If you're feeding and nobody buys Mekansm, get it, you're also a healer starting your first point in Healing Ward, anyway! Does your team has a lot a magic spammers and you need a good overall item (HP/s, some STATS and a bit of armor) as there is already a Mekansm or two on your team? GET A Veil of Discord instead!
and a bonus,
3) Tell people how to play with those cheap fall-down items in order to squeeze the most out of them; I know when to activate Armlet of Mordiggian (not that AoM is cheap, but hey, bare with me) and that any AoM build in a game against Ancient Apparition is prone to getting you killed round the clock - never seen it in a guide, by the way, probably I should start with myself and put it in my Chaos Knight guide! ^^ In my defence, I added a year ago an AoM+lifesteal tinkering that I recently saw in a Sven guide, though... Was that yours, Peppo? :PPPPP
4) STOP LISTING HALF OF THE ITEMS under EXTENSIONS, SITUATIONAL, and LATEGAME! There are about 100 items in the whole game and it's really annoying seeing 50 of them in a guide... Do some 'research', compare most used items for your hero and draw a conclusion which one is better or come with a new idea; I KNOW I should (usually) go for STR items if I'm a STR hero, d'oh, you don't have to list ALL STR items in your STR hero guide!
5) also specify your guide is recommended for playing against a specific category of enemy heroes, as going Manta Style Chaos Knight (for instance!) against heavy AOE casters does close to nothing on your game impact...
omg, I just guide-flamed! ^^
Should I do a guide about making guides, too? :-O
I also promised I'll make one about hero countering. Need more time... Faceless Void, care to lend me a bubble or two of yours? ^^
Bottom line, great skills, absolutely made an impact on me and please next time 'commend' my 1-4-something feeding with the most hard-to-kill hero in the entire game: Wraith King! ^^
The deathmatch unfortunately sent my 2008 laptop to the 'dark' side (after cookies! xD)... X_X Sorry about that, I warned you beforehand! :P

It was Krwiozerca's wards that won that game quite honestly.
