Author's notes

This build prioritizes taking positive damage trades in lane to allow you to dive, and building for massive early/mid game tempo. The midgame section and onward IS NOT L-R!!! you have to be smart and buy what you need when you need it. survival is op on this hero so try to buy unstop, berserker, and diviners by 30 minutes for corruption. Spirit spike is kinda weak I think so I usually just go BRS / slow hex and call it a day now
