I thought it was the centaur permastun chen that didn't work
What makes it so fun is that he's good, he knows the hero he's playing with, so somehow he makes it work. (Except for the Dagon
If you are playing CM as even a 3rd position, let alone a carry, that you are putting farm on a hero that dies incredibly easily and therefore wastes the farm. Any other carry with the amount of farm you have will run through you in a second which means that all your farm is pointless and your team is screwed if you are the supposed carry. Its pointless. Why not just play a normal carry? One that doesn't rely on a channelling spell that can easily be shut down as well as needs good positioning to do anything? CM functions worse as carry than any of the others played as such so why bother playing her as such?
Also, she farms slow. If you think you are a carry and are 3 slotted at 40 mins you are in for a rude awakening when the enemy carry comes at you with 5 and you are dead before you can even ult or dead about a second after you cast it. Your team will be creating space for you to farm and you will do so incredibly slowly. Again, why not just pick a proper carry who will do more with the farm as well as get it faster?
That you have won 11 of 14 games means nothing. I won my first 10 with OD and since then I'm sitting below 60%. That's the way normal distributions work and you haven't played nearly enough games with CM for normal distribution to kick in and reduce chance. You could lose your next 4 in a row in which case you've won 11 out of 18 which is hardly convincing and will only get closer to 50% the more games you play.
Sorry, but it's people doing things like this that ruin a lot of games for others. You need to change this from a carry guide to a core/utility guide and emphasize the fact that you need a hard hitter as a proper carry, not CM, and that yoour main goal should be creating space for that carry to farm by ganking. Your item build represents this already so you wouldn't even have to change that. She should not be played anywhere higher up than a 3rd position.
Tbh, however, I don't like this guide, because I think it isn't at all a guide on how to carry with CM. Your first paragraph makes me don't even want to read the rest, because already it presents an unsucceful CM, whether in #5 or in #1 (and I don't think people bothered to actually read you past the point of the title + builds). Everything here makes me think you have little experience with the hero, but tried to write about it because you were succeful in a few low level games. Whereas I think if you want to help people with a guide, you should at least have some more experience with the hero, and wait to see why your understanding develops as you level up.
I will try to be succint:
"If you are facing a bounty hunter or riki by some wards before engaging on the enemy, because they could stop your Ult and you could end up dead." = lol there you are dead against the
Some things that would change this: if you jungled in your first levels and ganked, thus getting more XP and farm and being less susceptible to a simple gank in lane; if you didn't stupidly used your ulti on a one on one versus a hero with a disable; if instead of getting
I will not comment after this first paragraph, no need. But your builds have the same problems:
Skill Build = You only take Frosbite at level 4, which makes you vulnerable to any attempt on your life until then (even if you sit passively by your tower as you suggest). You only have three points in
Item build =
Also, if you're a core, why not a
The BKB is also essential. Of course
I'm sorry if I was too harsh on my criticisms, but as someone who knows this hero well I think you could really do a good work on a carry guide if you have a bit more experience first, so you don't let some obvious errors pass.
For a true carry maiden, see Jim Doto:

He's making this for fun, but he is indeed a very skilled CM, and he made the right choices, from lane to items. Learn with him and try more options, so you can find your own carry CM.
First thing, without even reading, is that BKB should be core, so that her ult can't get disrupted.
