Love it! I might actually plan on playing Lone Druid again just because of this guide lmao

Anyways, it's good to see that you didn't suggest Aghanim's Scepter in any of your builds. I strongly believe it's such a **** item on him since if you wanted a true splitpusher then you should have picked something else like Nature's Prophet or something. The tips and tricks section was really nice too, didn't know a lot of them (probably because I'm not a LD spammer).

Thanks! I almost never buy aghs because in general it's an unnecessary 4.2k gold investment compared to more impactful items and technically limits your fighting ability because you don't have the ability to use battle cry as odds are you won't be near your bear during the fight/push.

But at the same time I do think it's definitely good in the right situation. Specifically if you realize that you just cannot take fights without losing and are forced to keep the lanes pushed in order to buy time for your team to get items and prevent the enemy team from taking more towers or potentially going highground. But even then there are games where I do exactly that by just running the bear around and cutting waves by dragging creeps with radiance burn, which works just as well except without the ability to hit towers. At that point the purchase really depends on what you feel the enemy team would let you get away with before being forced to respond.

Similarly, it's totally fine as a luxury item and you just want to ensure that your bear is constantly on the map even in the event that the druid gets caught out and dies.

But I rarely find myself in that situation and games don't go long enough to where I start getting luxury items so in general I just don't buy it.
