The Definition of Hard Carry - A guide to Faceless Void

Well, it seems I brought some arguments about the build over, well, I may add some of the suggestions in the comments, thats the idea, thanks for taking time and caring about making the guide better for readers to have the best experience possible.

Didn't see it at first, but I think he is actually saying go mid Void...hence the Bottle...uh. He'd just get owned by a decent mid.

Void is probably one of the few heroes who could reasonably think about a HoM + BF build....but I really don't like it on anyone. It's incredibly dependent on a strong trilane working, and the opposition giving you a lot of afk free farm time to gain the advantage of it. Any half decent team should already be gunning hard for Void early-mid game, and that build means you have very little to contribute.

He's gone Mask of Madness so the other two are pretty surplus to requirements - guess the Mjollnir is still good, but personally I'd rather get the Maelstrom early instead of Hand of Midas if you're gonna go down that route. Provides a farming speed boost and also gives you a boost to your early-mid game if it does come to a team fight you need to be involved in. Try and talk someone on your team to provide a Vladmir's Offering :)

Yeah it was that combined with the bottle... Also things like when he said good lane partners including pudge and OD that made me think this guide wasn't written by the most experienced player.

Yeah, a bit a colour here and there is nice, but entire paragraphs of it is too much imo. 8(

Also, the Square Brackets lets you scroll over the Skill/Item/etc. in question to revela more information on it, its a highly useful feature.

Time Walk is best Maxed just as you're about to either Jungle, or start joining Teamfights, since the Range and Cooldown aren't needed while Laning if you don't go Out Of Position too much.

Bottle isn't needed on Void, he only has 2 skills and you shouldn't be Spamming either of them, not to mention your Solo Mid will probably want a Bottle, an if not him, then a Solo Offlaner, or even a Jungler can Bottle Crow more effectively.

As for Lifesteal being useful for Lane Sustain, assuming you have 100ish damage around lvl6, if you Last Hit every Creep you'll only get 50 or so HP from the entire wave. A Ring of Health would give you 150HP every Creepwave (every 30 seconds) guaranteed.

You really want a Battlefury as a first Item, if you didn't go Hand of Midas, or a 2nd Item if you did, otherwise it's too late to get it, since you want it before 15:00.

As for Desolator + Mjollnir, it's actually a great combination, especially for an Attack Speed building Hero like Void, who'll get the most out of Armour Reduction and Lightning Procs, but there are better Items for Mid-Game than a Deso on Void imo ( Assault Cuirass, Black King Bar, etc.). I'd leave Desolator till you have your 2nd Hyperstone/ Butterfly.

I think "Middle Hard Carry" should read "Mid-Game Hard Carry". I'm hoping he means he's more active in the Mid-Game than most Voids, but it does make it sound like you want to go Middle Lane 8(

Please say you're not actually advocating void going mid?...

Sorry for the excessive colors :P

I tweaked it so its less confusing.

Overall a fairly good guide, but yeah you've overdone it a bit with the colours :

You can also link items/skills by adding double square brackets [] like this ((Time Lock)) with square brackets makes Time Lock.

On the build etc...not sure you need all those early points in Time Walk, sure you need 1, but extra passives can be potentially more useful. Not really sure why you're getting a Bottle - the Morbid mask will get you lifesteal for sustain for only 300 gold more.

Really not much point in buying a late Battle Fury, it's a farming item and unnecessary if you're going Hand of Midas. Desolator/ Mjollnir hit the same problem with UAM overlap on MOM, you really need to pick one of the three (as noted), but I do like the Black King Bar pickup...there are too many Void's who assume Chrono will disable everyone, then they get stunned and then can't take advantage of their ult.

this guide hurt my eyes
