    Anyone have any opinions about sending her mid?

    My last 3 games I played her mid (one was on my smurf):
    a) http://dotabuff.com/matches/458076812
    b) http://dotabuff.com/matches/459376907
    c) http://dotabuff.com/matches/456634596

    I go the usual bottle rush into treads, wand, shadow blade. I gank the moment I hit 6 by buying smokes.

    Invoker was not a problem and neither was the Pudge. The Kunkka I pretty much evened out with, I lost the first 5 minutes of lane cs to him though.

    Any advice, insight or opinions?

    who am i

      prolly switch blink/SB in some games but thats about it pretty solid

          Against timber or ranged mid (Ex: viper, OD, silencer) you might not do much.

            @Yfay Do you really think armlet is worth it? I tried it awhile back and found it very underwhelming. I find going straight BKB or Deso to be more rewarding. Although if I plan on going a lifesteal build, SnY gives some nice stats and ms...

            @6_din_49 Yes, I was thinking about some heroes that could give problems. But think about it this way. Viper beats most heroes anyway. All I would do in that case would be gain exp and try to get boots + bottle, then smoke gank constantly. Or ask your supports to roam and shut him down. I actually think she can break even with OD since she doesn't really need her mana that much, the same as a Kunkka. Although timber will rip her apart :D

              of course was just stating the mainstream choice, you can build w/e you want haha

                With LC you need gold and xp. If you can get only xp mid, I'd say let someone less farm dependent mid because you also have the jungle option.

                  LC rapes timber hard in 1v1 lane.

                    Haven't lost a mid Commander so far (touch wood).

                    PS: She is BRILLIANT against QoP, she can debuff her dagger o.O

                      situational.

                      Amazing, mediocre, or terrible based on the opponent's mid

                      I come from the dark

                        rapes pretty much any melee hero through rightclicking
