Hi guys Cloud here
 
Valve changed ranked modes today, careful if you gonna up your mmr 
 
"* For the next few days, only Random Draft and Captain’s Mode will be available in Ranked Matchmaking."
 
I think they will change ranked mode with all draft or something different.
Rip All pick ;-;

Tell us about yourself and why you want to join Lotus Clan:
Been solo queuing dota for a while, played a game with a couple of your clan.  Fever invited me to mumble and we got chatting.  Played some more games with others (Skaila, Dr Obvious, Caterpillar, etc), and had fun – nice bunch of people.  Was asked to apply, happy to make it as formal as people want.
 
I work full time in IT, have 2 young kids so gaming limited to after their bedtime (unless I can sneak it in) – if you see me in the day, don’t tell my boss I’m busy teleshirking strategising at home

I decided to show some love to my Tide build as I tend to need to farm mid to late game and I would rather be done with that a lot earlier, so I've come up with a more farm friendly build which might mean some items are delayed by a few minutes but I should be done farming sooner and my items should come quite quickly together. Thought I'd share for feedback and so I can make tweaks and track changes.
Note: support gimmes and mandatory items are not included as I buy them anyway throughout whenever they are available. My build is focused purely on essentials. I'll always carry a tp, tango, wards
