I finally finished all my suggested item builds! Hurray!
(TL;DR: New default suggested item builds by me. See them here: http://imgur.com/a/dZpMv#8. Download them here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18652/Gambits%20Suggested%20Item%20Builds%20v2.2.PlusScreenshots.zip) For those who don't know, I redid the default suggested item builds for all the heroes. The purpose is three-fold. First, to be a guide to newer players, so that they end with items that make a difference instead of merely being decent. Second, to provide a convenient list of all relevant items for players of all skill levels for that particular hero, and lastly, to provide alternative builds to more experienced players, who might like to try new ways of playing a familiar hero. I removed some of the sillier items, cleaned up the starting items for all heroes, and concentrated on solid items buids that would work in most game (especially inhouses and medium/high level match making games), and complement that particular heroe's playstyle. I added a lot of the more underrepresented items such as Urn of Shadows and Orb of Venom to the heroes they complement, so that more relevant items are given for each hero, while simultaneously removing items that are almost never viable on that hero. I also added alternative builds to most heroes that, rather than being inferior versions, add different capabilities or possibilities with that hero. In addition to this, I also made a distinction between jungling and lane starting items/builds for all relevant heroes, making it much easier and better for heroes that can both jungle and lane. I've also added different possible builds/starting items where it made sense, for example there are now 2 different starting item builds on Invoker, depending on whether you go Quas or Exort first. I hope all this add up to more flexible, useful and interesting item suggestions, and I would really appreciate any feedback from any of you, so that they can get even better! If any of you (noobs and experienced players alike) have any questions about some of the more untraditional item builds, don't hesitate to ask! You can see screenshots of all the builds online here: http://imgur.com/a/dZpMv#8, or in the zip file, where they are included. To install them, extract the zip file to this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota They will then override the ones supplied by Valve. Download them here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18652/Gambits%20Suggested%20Item%20Builds%20v2.2.PlusScreenshots.zip |

Just installed these for the first time. Awesome work Gambit. I like that you took a screenshot for each hero, its like a alt-tab guide if you don't want to install we should page that out.

Yes! I have been using these lately and am glad I took the jump. There are still a small handful of heroes I have never played so this will surely come in handy.
thanks for all your hard work gambit. |

As a newbie to Dota, I downloaded this straight away. A really big thank you to Gambit for all the work he's put into this - it's *uber* amounts of help when I'm in game and have enough on my plate trying to last hit and not die xD

Yes i noticed this as well, it's been really convenient for me, because there is more direction instead of just "Hey here's 15 items under 'Suggested' you should pick one". |
