Author's notes

Proactive gank-initiation Paige. Zorp (dash warp jump) at people and lock them down with Cold Front into Captivate (into Bookwyrm + Scourge + shooting). Surely isn't the best Paige build, but if you're below Eternus and you want to play Paige like Slardar from Dota 2, this works pretty well.
