I mean if you are already willing to give up every bit of dignity, why not pick Leshrac, close your eyes and spam E ? No ganking or farming required!
stack jungle camps, clear them with remnant
feel free to farm in enemy jungle when you have level advantage
don't show up on map too much
carry a tp scroll, it's nice to countergank or gank when they don't see that you tped on some lane
some simple tips using his ultimate,
use quick cast (on ultimate only if u are not quick cast user)
so that u can dodge incoming projectiles easily.
@groov, tried quickcast on several heroes, and though i understand its efficiency i just dont feel comfortable. its a cool tool but i dont like it. Just preference
ALWAYS YOLO. Yeah u need to have balls to ball lightning. Doesnt matter If you dont get kills, at eleast you balled. Ur good.
In my opinion, this is the best video for learning storm

efficiency. don't waste ur mana too much. as i often to play like antimage keep ballin from camps to camps. keep farming outfarm oponent. and ball lightning while tp make it easier.
fucking hate that hero...hope they nerf him next patch, -3 armor and higher % cost on ulti should do the job.
Well storm won me 100 mmr so far. Blitz videos helped alot, especially "put pressure on the map", enemy team was 5 manning mid like 20 min into the game doing absolutely nothing, just clearing waves who were coming in tower
Jump with me on the Storm bandwagon
I suggest getting used to quickcast on the ult and orchid/hex. If you're not confident in quickcasting just focus on stacking jungle after spamming your wave mid bottle crowing and going into jungle to stack/kill big medium camps. If you do that you should get levels ahead and kill the side lanes with runes. I have a decent winrate on storm feel free to ask more questions. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/34756503/matches?hero=storm-spirit
Nah, I tried quickast, just couldn get used to it. Also I am pretty fast at finger moves so casting items isnt really a problem for me.
a good tip is knowing storm's ball lightning cast point and animation > any hero turn rate + cast skill time
For example, a silencer/lina mid has 70% hp and you have 30% hp left with full and they wants to try to cast their skills (last word/laguna blade) on you to nuke you down. The normal storm player might just ball lightning away to safety and regen. But what they dont know is, you could just ball lightning directly at them (and land behind them). Why behind them? well the turn rate of their hero to turn 180 degrees + cast point of whatever spell that they want to cast will never be as fast as you constantly bouncing directly behind them and throwing a hit or remanent every time you do so. just a small tip^
unless the spell has instant cast like orchid/ hex and stuff like that.
Itembuild.
Its easy to fall behind if you build bloodstone, and cant utilize it properly.
Orchid as first item is always good, and will net you kills if you just focus the valueable supports in a fight. Always focus the ones with the nasties disables.
And a general tip, practice mana conservation. Its so easy to see if the enemy storm is good or not, depending on how effeciently he uses his mana. Dont overextend.
@Hunter, yea, ive seen that at Blitz, is usually a free kill on mid if I got ~ 500 mana.
@Archone I disagree with that, depends on timing. Can I get a 13-15 min orchid? Ya sure, its great. If not, bloodstone is better cuz it gives the possibility for comeback
always orchid first in pubs cuz bloodstone gives u 0dmg, if u get fast orchid, u haev bloodstone 5min later, bloodstone first maybe in competetive but NEVER in pubs
in almost only play storm jungle u get easy 100cs 10min orchidbloodstonehex@30min

i really want to learn this hero, cuz i really like the concept, but i suck at him.
Even if i got a good start i usually fall behind. I dont really know when to gank or when to farm. I see players like Sumail often rotating to another lane and grab a kill, but when i do that i mostly lose a lot of farm
