A few notes about skills
Blood Rage:
At level 1 it silences the target and deals 20 damage per second for 6 seconds while increasing the target's damage by 20%. At level 4, it does the same thing for 9 second, except it increases the target's damage by 80%. If you want to use this skill to silence enemy heroes, you MUST keep it at level 1. You never, EVER, want to increase an enemy's damage by 80%. It's a waste of skill points and it's a death sentence for you.
Blood Bath:
Absolutely the best skill in the whole game. If you know how to last hit, you are pretty much an immortal during the laning phase. Also this skill makes farming ancients a breeze. Max this first.
Thirst:
Self-explanatory. Pretty damn useful.
Rupture:
Deals enormous amount of initial damage while dealing damage based on how much the enemy moves. Some people buy force staff to abuse the damage out of this skill. But they don't understand the true purpose of this skill. It's supposed to make the enemy sit still for you to attack. Combined with lvl 1 bloodrage, i'll explain how you can gank pretty much any hero when he's alone.
How to gank and own
Take mid if your allies let you. Last hit and with Blood Bath, you will be able to endure all sorts of harass. Your archenemy to lane with is whoever that can out last-hit you. Sniper can deny like a boss because of his shooting animation. But most of the time you'll be able to have an easy farming time (if u have BLood Bath) until lvl 6.
At level 6, you should have Bloodrage lvl 1 and Rupture lvl 1. But DO NOT gank until you have 2 wraith bands. Most of the time i get 2 wraith bands just before i turn lvl 6, but if your last hit game is not as good as mine, wait until you have 2 wraith bands. When u have 2 wraith bands, you may gank.
Before initiating the gank, make sure that the enemy hero is alone, and far away from the tower (preferably at the middle of the river if you're laning mid). Then cast bloodrage and rupture. I still don't know if you should cast bloodrage or rupture first, just make sure you cast both on the enemy immediately. Afterwards, you have about 5 seconds to normal attack until the enemy is dead. The enemy cannot cast spell and cannot move, and Rupture already dealt him some initial damage, while bloodrage deals 20 damage per second for 6 seconds, and with 2 wraith bands giving you a fighting edge, most of the time you will win this 1 on 1 battle before blood rage ends, or just a bit after it. This will at least guarantee some easy farming time.
Repeat this process as many times as u can. Make sure the enemy is alone. There is nothing they can do when they are silenced and any movement they make will deal them damage. Eventually the enemy will learn and start going in groups. Hopefully by this time you already have some good items in your pocket. And by good items, i mean items that deal meaningful damage in late game, not a force staff which deals ****ty damage for a large price.
Don't forget to constantly farm.
