Alright, its Dildo Baggins with a big fukin announcment.
Not really. I just want to dedicate a thread to user made Hero guides/tips and tricks. Item tips to heroes, skill builds and general dota tips can go in this thread.
I will start out with a small meepo guide from me, I'm by no means pro, or even good. Just a 4k scrub, but here's what I've learned from approximately 200 games of meepo, in various brackets. my most recent being the game where I broke into 4k.
So here goes:
Skillbuild: Net or Poof first is really situational. Net can help secure a first blood at runes with another 2 seconds to beat on a poor dude, but W is good for securing lasthits in a bad lane, or even harass and lasthit against melee opponents.
There is one undisputed point to building meepo, and that is: POOF SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS BE MAXED FIRST. You will have 1 point in Net and Geostrike by the time its maxed, but never more. Poof always maxed first. Then, it personal preference if you want to max Net or Geostrike. I like Maxing geostrike for faster farming and killing, but you might need more Net against mobile opponents or fast ones. Level ult at every chance.
Item builds: First items that are good include:
Starting items: Whatever mix you like best of these: Tango, Shield, Branch, Salve, Ring of Protection. If you're going mid you can get a poor mans shield and make team giff tangoes.
Early game: Treads, Bottle, TP SCROLLS. Tp scroll is important. Getting kills on dumbasses who dive under tower is awesome.
Core items: Aghs, Blink, Boots of Travels, Scythe of Vyse.
Flavor items: Ethereal blade, Etheral blade, Etheral blade, Skadi and Diffusal blade. Did I mention ethereal blade? I love etheral blades.
Avoid these items: Vlads, Heart, Assault Cuirass, Mekanism, any items that don't provide agi or str. Vlads is an item for any of the supports to get, and assault is for your position 2. Mek and Heart is just plain bad.
Playing the Meepoes.
Laning: Meepo is a strong laner from level 3 and on. 4 seconds of small aoe disable and a 160x2 nuke is pretty good. Use the usual stuff like pulling creeps towards you, actively denying to keep the lane in place. Don't poof for lasthits unless you have to. You don't really want to have to sit with both meepoes in lane. Stack jungle camps, go for runes, go gank if you feel its safe enough. DON'T DIE. Dying as meepo slows you down a lot. Don't be risky. Get a fast aghs.
After Aghs:
Farm the entire map After your blink, farm with everyone but the main Meepo, and then you go around looking for ganks. Ganks for days. Days for ganks. You gank and gank and gank. Almost noone can survive your gank if you bring the appropriate items. The typical gank avoiding heroes like Queen of Pain and Anti-Mage die easily to you. But you do have to be careful with the burst damage queen can deal. if you land the net she is usually dead. Do not gank if the one you're ganking is the only one visible on the map. Dying for a kill is not worth it. As Meepo you have a lot of networth and levels, them killing you gives them A LOT OF GOLD AND EXP.
