DISCLAIMER

A lot of you probably know about the weekly hero discussion, but that often ends up in a meta discussion (whether or not the hero needs buffs, etc) or a meme war than actual tips to play, itemize and build the hero.

This is what I'd like to do. Please discuss any notes I made and possible improvements while also giving tips of your own if you have them.

The roles, skill builds and item builds, as well as a lot of the notes are my opinion on matters and should not be seen as a must do or don't. Also remember that almost every single build or role is situationally possible.

A lot of the tips on heroes were also mentioned in tsunami's amazing hero tips series he did over the last couple of years.

Enchantress

Notes:

• Untouchable is great for tanking rosh with the attack slow it gives him
• Impetus does more damage according to the distance between you and the target once it hits. Force staff yourself away once you threw it out. The introduction of Hurricane pike obviously makes this easier.
• Versus: Get magic damage to get early kills on her
• Friends: Timber, Bristle, other STR heroes (tank and deal damage while she stands on the back line and kills with impetus), Sven, Invoker (great early game impact for when your lanes are weak)
• Counters: LS (rage counters untouchable), Nyx (mana burn + carapace), Doom, high damage nukes, PA (gap close + dagger + gets BKB to counter untouchable), Slark (good gap close), Naga, CK, PL (Enchantress only has single target damage), WR (untouchable does next to nothing against her ult)
• Good versus: Lycan (his speed works against him), Techies (Enchant creeps to trigger mines and scout), Visage (easy to kill familiars from a great distance), Elder Titan (high base MS makes her hard to catch in stomp and ult)
• Mid enchantress is not that bad of an idea, but you need to take creeps from the camps (satyr, harpy) to win your lane and remember to stack the hard camp with them as well.

Role: Offlane, Jungler (, mid)

Item build: Wand, (Midas, Mek, Urn, Drum,) Dragon Lance -> Pike, agh's, (AC, Bloodthorn)

Skill build: lvl 1 enchant, untouchable > attendants > enchant
