2) It isn't meppo it is meepo.
Rushing Bottle on Phoenix is really ******ed. Buying Salve or Tango is a cheaper solution to fix the problem.
I challenge you 1v1 to show you how this works. You can choose any hero you want. The first one to die lose or we count the last hits after 6 minutes mark.
So you are going to survive all harass with just a set of tango's and a healing salve?
There is really no reason not to get a bottle, it is just 650 gold.
His spirits cost mana and health and your mana pool is pretty low.
Sure, we can 1 v 1 if you want, but whatever the result i still think you are wrong.
Bottle restores 135 HP in 3 seconds. Ring of Health heals 15 HP in that time, good luck coming back from a gank or 1 queen of pain dagger.
It makes even less sense on phoenix since he uses HEALTH to cast spells.
Seriously, try this item build against a good player or even me (a semi good player.) and look how hard you will be stomped.
Please don't recommend this item build to people. Beginners read this guide.

I'm pretty sure you haven't played Dota that much, but still, try to get used to rush a Bottle (after starting with something like a Tango and three Iron Branches) in the mid lane since it makes so much difference. If you let the other mid get all the runes you'll also be very disadvantaged.
Only QOP and Viper can zone me out and limit me on last hitting before level 3. Buying a tango before the Ring of Heath should fix the problem. I would be willing to demonstrate it on you 1v1 if you allow me to post the replay in this guide to prove my point. I did test some 1v1 on this hero before I post this guide.
In other hand I never said not to control the rune. Taking it without the bottle should be fine. Sorry but rushing bottle on Phoenix is ******ed. I would rather buy cheap Salve or Tango to fix the problem for you only need HP regeneration. Using your spell before level 3 wont do you any good. For you're taking more damage from HP% of your own spell than damaging the opponent.
Also, the first build is called anti-magic build for a reason.

Not convince with bottle. It doesn't reward Phoenix that much compare on how much gold spend on it early game. You can take the rune without bottle it is the same thing on early game.

vanguard is ******** on ranged heroes. mechansm is awesome on phoenix.the bottle is not only for health+mana regen,but also to get those runes which gives your team the upper hand.

You can't take away the fact +6 regeneration is a big deal on phoenix. Vanguard is like a selfish Mechansm that doesn't cost mana but has a greater HP regeneration with the same gold cost. But indeed Mechansm is a better choice for team's sake!
Suggesting the triple branch + tango start with Bottle rush and getting a mek after that.
Mechanism is a great item choice too. It is definitely superior on team fights, same heath increase but a little bit lower on HP regeneration. Ill definitely update some changes! Thanks a lot you made me realize that mechanism is a greater choice.
I don’t really see the point of rushing bottles. For you it gives low health regeneration. You can spam your skills and you won’t need mana regeneration until +6 minute mark.
