Why can't I hold all these stuns
Short stream starting soon, will be working on a sketch with AJ and Applebloom, I am trying to underp my handicap at doing expressions.
This time it will be on Livestream, so everyone can have a go on the chat

It's long as fuck, but it looks better if I post it here instead of on Steam.
Things of note (warning: LONG):
* I know it looks tempting, but don't use Q to harass early on. It has no damage whatsoever and you can't really sustain the 30/25 mana cost that the first two levels of it has. Chances are you'll also miss out on a last hit in the process.
* I'd comment on the 3 branches + shield thing, but you probably didn't know that you were going to lane specifically against Kunkka and VS so I won't say much. If I was you and I'd known that I was going to lane against those two then I would personally have gone with 3 branches + Quelling Blade, because VS has very low range and there's not much to block otherwise (Kunkka's Tidebringer passive does true damage to non-primary targets).
* Good thing you upgraded to Poor Man's though. Even if what I said above applied I would've still gotten it.
* You actually got the wand. Good.
* 8:24 - You probably could have gotten away if you hadn't tried to help Alchemist with that last slow.
* 9:30 - Good.
* 10:00 - You were at pretty low health and just standing at the tower. That cost you a bit of farm, even though you slightly made up for it in experience. TPing back and running back in (or vice-versa) would've been better.
* I actually wrote this one later, but I'm not sure where it would fit - you took stats at some early point. I'm not sure if that's the optimal build, but I don't recall that being the case. IMO the decreased cooldown on the blink is too good to pass up.
* Speaking of TPs, make sure you have at least one on you at all times. Buying two from the base and using one, for example, to get to the lane while still having one for later use is optimal as far as I know.
* 11:55 - You lucked out. VS' stun was off cooldown but she had 138 mana out of 140.
* Courier! Use it. A lot.
* Always take a look at the enemy heroes' mana pools and act accordingly. But then you already know this from LoL.
* Farm. You're PA, you desperately need that farm. You got your Ring of Health pretty late.
* 17:10 - So you already know that you can use your blink on friendly targets. Yes, I know it sounds obvious (and borderline rude), but trust me, most are too dumb to do that. Good job.
* I'm not actually sure if getting a Helm of the Dominator before Battlefury would've helped you more here. I would've done it (Helm of Iron Will is great for helping you stay in lane and you can get both that and the lifesteal from the sideshop), but that's me. (Also, HotD upgrades to Satanic, which is, once again, a great buy for you, but hey)
* Nice job focusing on Battlefury before finishing your boots though. That's still good.
* I'm not gonna say anything about the people you played with because, once again, most, if not all, seemed dumb.
* Phase Boots: I'm not sure if I like that. Yes, the damage is good and the phase thing is always useful, but you already have a very low cooldown blink that you can use to move around. Power Treads set on Strength would've helped you out a good deal more (0 damage vs the Phase Boots' 24, but the health is great, and you still get 8 damage whenever you don't actually need the extra health. The attack speed is also a good bonus.)
* You still finished your BF in 27 minutes. Not exceptional, but considering the circumstances it's still decent.
* Moving onto BKB: Good. I don't recall if it breaks Razor's damage-stealing chain, but the item itself is always an all-around great buy, and it works well against their team.
* 32:45 - not related to you, but that Bloodseeker...AHAHAHAHA.
* 36:00 - I didn't actually pay attention to Tiny's cooldowns and mana, so I'm not sure on this, but I think you made a mistake there. Yes, Zeus was very low, but he was too far away and it cost you badly, whereas you probably could've tried something on Tiny.
* Farm the jungle. It doesn't seem like it, but it's still a good source of income.
* I felt like crying when I finally noticed that you had no initiators on the team.
* I didn't pay much attention to your overall usage of the Magic Wand either, but I hope you were letting it get enough stacks before using it. Once in a while I mistakenly use it when it only has 2 or 3 charges, but that's because I'm bad.
* Were you going for Monkey King Bar at the end? Good.
Oh, and Lysah, if you're reading this then don't yell at me too much. Most of what I said is probably bullshit, but I like commenting like this.
I only buy the recommended items unless somebody tells me otherwise, I don't really have any idea what I'm doing. Same with ranking up skills, I just guess.
Regardless, you did well. And I'm relatively surprised that the recommended items section is actually good for a change. I never paid much attention to it.

I'm actually in the mood to play CM for some reason. I haven't played her in a very long time.
You can't really play Witcher 2 without having played Witcher 1, but from what I've heard the Witcher series should be really good. I played a bit of Witcher 2, and I really enjoyed it, but I didn't get any of the story due to not having played Witcher 1, so I gave up.
Also, Alan Wake sucks.
