Your team comp was shit and you guys lacked initiation without axe blink and them having a gem for riki. You should've farmed blink ASAP and farmed heroes with team, you had good team for pick offs and ganking. Use smoke slot and don't let them farm, but dust/ sents and stop weaver farming.
Might as well have randomed him. I'll keep in mind getting a blink next time
Thanks for the tips :)
There's no reason you should go "hard carry" with brew, as you are most effective with your ult. Build your items around your ult.
Phase
Blink
Agh's
Then auras. Drums/Vlads/AC/Gem/TP/BoTs

adapt build to the situation.
He is not a hardcarry but a utility carry
Brew cannot carry with carry items period. I've tried it tons of times, I watch people try it and fail miserably. The crit/dodge looks really appealing but late game his right click just isn't strong enough compared to other carries. You can carry with him but go drums, vlads, aghs, then maybe heart or AC. His power is in his ult images.
go to lobby > enable cheats> buy aghanim > train initiate by using dagger-aghanim> train the micro with ulti > and play in pub
Even if skill ceiling is high, skill floor is pretty high as well. Tossing rocks at people and clapping them doesn't take a lot of micro skill and is very effective. Air spirit is the tricky one. The Cyclone puts someone out of a fight for a very long time which can actually screw up a teamfight rather than give you an advantage. Dispel is particularly tricky for me, because I'm not always good with knowing which things can be purged and not dispelled or dispelled and not purged, which things Aphotic will remove or won't, which things Vuvuzela will remove or won't... Does someone have a list or a video that helps for this kind of knowledge?
Guys, you should keep in mind that aghs is not a go-to item anymore on panda! It does not provide stats anymore but utility and sometimes this utility is not needed and can be skipped!
For me I mostly buy aghanims when the additional aoe is required or the perma drunken haze is needed(or both) however pandas stay as fragile as they are so aura items are sometimes required to let them not mellt ;)
The pandas don't get any stats? Anyway I don't rush aghs as core, I go phase boots, drums, blink and vlads usually. Aghs is like my 4th item. I don't think micro'ing the pandas is that hard. You can control them all in one group and just tab and cast. It's not as effective as controlling them separately and making them attack different targets when appropriate but it's not hard to cast the rocks and cyclones.

I went hard carry farming mode after I saw Riki was building a dagon, could I have played it out better?
