I'm guessing one is going to be a stormy weather, like thunder/lightning, just by the image for that goal having that.
And so far the only two immortals I got that weren't one of the basic ones was the Nightstalker set, and now golden gyro immortals. No Zeus bolt for me (at least until next paycheck)

I wanted to buy a compendium but just didnt seem worth it this year.
Pizzashark the fairy.
Not like clinkz is OP or anything but he predicted Deso/Soulring/Medalion so good. 2:0 EG vs C9.
Duh. Add Vlad's in there somewhere, on a pro team you could just have a support get it for you.
Orchid hasn't been ideal for Clinkz ever since Deso started playing nice with Searing Arrows. If you want an item for mana regen, just get a casual voidstone or something and turn it into sheeper later, since sheeper is about 1000% more dangerous than orchid and has a lot more versatility for late game. Orchid gives way too much mana, far more than Clinkz will ever need (same with sheeper though, really), and Soul Burn is hit twice by resists - first physical while they're taking damage, then magic resist when the buff pops. It can also be removed by a ton of items (cheatstick and manta style etc) and Glimmer Cape makes it basically stop existing.
Clinkz is best played safelane or somewhere where he can get a ton of farm. He's super super squishy and piss easy to zone out at lvl 1 offlane with just a sentry or even dust and should only ever be sent to offlane if he'll be able to harass the carry with extremely OP Searing Arrow spam (duo lanes, solo safelaner, etc.) Otherwise send him somewhere where he'll get farm, and have him operate with the team. Searing Arrows work on towers and combined with some IAS it makes t1 towers a cinch. Once you have your Deso you can transition into focusing on picking people off (and then taking rosh/towers/etc after they're dead), because your damage output will be fucking stupid.
I wouldn't get Medallion on Clinkz - better items to spend your gold on, and it's something a support can get for you anyway (and support probably benefits more from Solar Crest upgrade since Clinkz will get Bfly eventually.) I'd most likely get aquila because the stats for the gold is pretty insane. Medallion was core in the old HotD build, but the ridiculous 600 gold buff to Deso makes HotD completely crazy to go for, and Vlad's got buffed to give ranged lifesteal anyway.
Picking Clinkz and then not using his fucking absurd DPS to eat towers, Roshan, etc with your team is just dumb. If you have good disables and control on your team, Clinkz can be a devastating element in teamfights. I'm pretty sure he has the highest raw single-target DPS in the game out of any hero, or is very close to it.
Also, Death Pact is OP as fuck and keeps getting buffed because icefraudbalans.
Can't git gud at dota plz send halp.
Orchid is good item for Bone, it makes her strafe burst even more deadly, and makes sure that assholes like profit or AM or QoP or X Spirit stays put and dies

Orchid is countered by cheatstick or Manta Style, or BKB.
Just watched Dotapit finals. C9 being C9, doing well and then choking in the grand finals. EE really shouldn't be captain, he tilts too easily and it's costing his team games, he made so many awful pub-tier mistakes in game 2, clearly tilting after the bad loss in game 1.
Also great example of QoP and Tusk being OP as fuck and OD needing buffs. OD got nerfed too hard back when he was popular, and hasn't gotten much of any attention since then. Probably underpowered right now.
What cheatstick are you talking about? Shipstick? Manta? BKB? If you force everyone on enemy team to go for these items first - you already won. The point of getting Orchid on Bone is that enemy can't escape your gank (via blinks and shit), not that it helps you to deal tons of damage. If there is no reason to have silence (because there is no one to catch like that) then there is no point in building silence item obviously, because Orchid is not the best damage item in first place

It's why I'm glad to see Fear realized how bad Orchid is and went for real items. Then again, he's one of the few pros who realized how insane Helm of the Dominator was on Clinkz and regularly used it, too. HotD is still very good on him, but Deso's insane over-buff combined with Vlad's now affecting ranged makes it less effective than a Deso build these days.
