If you play ARDM and build dagon everytime.

Please don't. It never works.

Ok. As a non-ARDM player, I now know what doesn't work... so can you tell me what does?

Building few stat items in the beginning like drums/aquila and once you're starting to get confident that you can survive maybe go s&y/veil or bkb if you want to survive. Then late game go hero specific.

Mostly stat items because they transition best from hero to hero. Also in ARDM you get almost all of your gold back from items.

Oh yeah and Aghs can be fun since it's a great stat item and most have an Aghs upgrade nowadays.

Here's my dotabuff if you're actually interested. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/58183700

TIL you get back 85% of the gold spent on items. Thanks for the tips!

It very rarely is the one that wins the game even though sometimes being on the winning side. Safe to say it pretty much never works.
