There are a lot of people that are just late, since DotA is very volatile. Simple example, people still hype over old heroes that have been nerfed to oblivion a long time ago, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Yeah, in most games people get one or two of the early stat items (bracer/band/null) and a return scroll, INT users tend to get BoT as their 4th item (although I prefer phase for the extra def). The reason to leave boots for later is simple, you'll be at the same lane for quite a while and boots give MS, which you won't be needing at first.
I still get boots to turn to treads on heavy melees because I just can't stand "normal" attack speed, but then again that's the reason I mainly use agility heroes |

usually I start with cheap items.. just 5 ironwood and 6 tango of essification (we call it tango of satisfaction) then we stay strong in the lane. If we don't get pawned in the lane, we can manage to buy some dmg items and treads.
well it depends in your companion.. I usually play with my friends whom I trust in the game. We usually start ganking if we already reach lvl 6 above.. |
