Dota 2 - Faceless Void Build Guide

BIO
Darkterror the Faceless Void is a visitor from Claszureme, a realm outside of time. It remains a mystery why this being from another dimension believes the struggle for the Nemesis Stones is worth entering our physical plane, but apparently an upset in the balance of power in this world has repercussions in adjacent dimensions. Time means nothing to Darkterror, except as a way to thwart his foes and aid his allies. His long-view of the cosmos has given him a remote, disconnected quality, although in battle he is quite capable of making it personal.

INTRODUCTION

He have a game-breaking ultimate that will lock-down everything in the AoE (including allies and towers) so he can move freely and attacking in his ultimate. He also a decent carry with his damage and a long jump. Be careful in early game, and farming patiently, and conquer in late game.

PROS	CONS
Game breaking ultimate. Lock-down everything.	Slow attack speed on early game

Use your damage and attack speed as efficient as possible, focus on a single target and change target if he already dead.

Dota 2 - Ogre Magi Build Guide

BIO
The ordinary ogre is the creature for whom the phrase 'As dumb as a bag of rock hammers' was coined. In his natural state, an ogre is supremely incapable of doing or deciding anything. Clothed in dirt, he sometimes finds himself accidentally draped in animal skins after eating lanekill. Not an especially social creature, he is most often found affectionately consorting with the boulders or tree-stumps he has mistaken for kin (a factor that may explain the ogre's low rate of reproduction). However, once every generation or so, the ogre race is blessed with the birth of a two-headed Ogre Magi, who is immediately given the traditional name of Aggron Stonebreak, the name of the first and perhaps only wise ogre in their line's history. With two heads, Ogre Magi finds it possible to function at a level most other creatures manage with one. And while the Ogre Magi will win no debates (even with itself), it is graced with a divine quality known as Dumb Luck--a propensity for serendipitous strokes of fortune which have allowed the ogre race to flourish in spite of enemies, harsh weather, and an inability to feed itself. It's as if the Goddess of Luck, filled with pity for the sadly inept species, has taken Ogre Magi under her wing. And who could blame her? Poor things.

INTRODUCTION
Ogre Magi is a nuker-support hero that known for his ability to multicast his skills. He can doubled the effect of his skills and make his ordinary skill to be a powerful skill .He uses his 2 main nukes skill: Fireblast and Ignite, and spam those two skills through the game. He is a decent single targetted stun that can shut down enemies and he mainly use this skill to gank or in teamfights. He also have a skill to increase an attack speed and movespeed of allied heroes.

With an Aghanim Scepter you will be able to cast this skill, this makes you have two same skill, you will have 2 Fireblast but this Unrefined Fireblast have a high manacost. But don't worry, on mid-late game, you should already have the mana you need to do your 2 Fireblast together. Cast this after 1 second of first fireblast duration to make your stun longer. Or cast this to 2 different targets and stun 2 out of 5 opponents.
This skill also have a chance of Multicast, and that will be so painful for opponent.

Why maxed Fireblast first? This is your main skill for the game, you can use this to:
1. Harass enemies and try to get firstblood
2. Ganks enemies
3. Disable 1 target in a teamfight.

Why maxed Ignite before Bloodlust? This is your nuke. You should combine this skill with Fireblast and use that 2 skill together with harmony, Fireblast first and then Ignite second. This is your combo to ganks.
Also Ignites is a nuke and should be maxed on early-mid game. And bloodlust will boost attack speed which is will be needed at late game.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you can be the wards buyer and animal courier buyer, it depends on your team, the team wants you to buy those or not. You are considered a support, this is one of your job. On early game, you can support your team using your two main skill, Fireblast and Ignite, with those two skills, you can harass opponents and reduce their HP to make them inconvenience on early game. Fireblast have good chance to make your team gets Firstblood, after your enemy is stunned, you need your friends to helps you to knock enemy's down.

Mid Game
On mid game, I assume that you already achieved level 6 and already has Multicast. Multicast will makes you a more powerful nuker. It will have a chance to multicast your skill. It have a chance to deal 2-4 times fireblast damage. With that high damage, you can makes enemy on half HP in 1 sec, and with that the enemy is likely to be killed. Multicast also increase ignite radius that will make the Ignite to be an AoE skill that can burns lots of enemies.
Here, in this stage of the game, you should roaming around the map. You should finding enemies to gank. Choose the easier enemy first, coordinate the gank with your friends, tell him that you want to gank X, and focus fire on X you can ignore other enemy, and just kill X, and after X get killed by your team, you can chase the next target. Focus is the key of successful ganks. Be focus with 1 hero and be the OWNING ones.
In this stage of the game, you should also consider to buy Aghanim and makes you get your next Fireblast so you will have 2 Fireblast.

Late Game
On late game, your part is the same, your part is to support your team with all your skills. You have Fireblast to stun enemy, or even better with 2 Fireblasts if you buy Aghanim Scepter. Also you have Ignite to deal damage per second to enemies.
Remember to prepare your team with additional attack speed using Bloodlust. Cast bloodlust to your carries before the teamfight. He shoul have his attack speed increased for the good of the team.
In a teamfight, you already have Aghanim, better to cast your 2 Fireblasts on diferent targets, it will stuns 2 out of 5 enemies. It will reduce lots of opponents power.
You should also consider buying supportive items like Sheepstick, it will makes you a better support, you will have 3 disables.
