I am heavy windrunner player. My windrunner match is about 58% of my total match.
Not Pro, that why only 54.3% winrate after 173 match of windrunner played. Totally I only play 296 match.

windrunner got several advantages compare to other heroes.
She is 1 of the hero that can work well in early/mid/late game.
Most of the dota heroes will only good in certain game time. (such as PA good in late game, CM good in early game)
She got long duration of stun that can disable 2 heroes, heavy long range nuke in low cooldown/mana, fast movement speed plus immune to attack dmg and also slow down the movement speed of nearby opponent, fastest attack spd with some reduction of attack dmg.

If compare to other range hero such as drow, drow only got higher dmg, silence, but dun have disable skill, no runaway skill, no nuke skill. That why I prefer windrunner than drow in most of the time.

When I play windrunner, first item I try to get is orchid so I seldom play on mid lane, Orchid sub item all can buy from side lane's shop.
With this item, you have enough mana to keep using powershot.
When laning, try powershot the creep plus opponent to force them get back or stay away. Most of the player will always like to stay behind their creep which I can shot the creep to get gold while also dmg the hero that stay behind it. Only some good player when vs windrunner in laning, they stay beside the creep rather than behind it. That time I will be a bit harder to get both so I mostly will choose to shot the opponent.
If my laning partner got disable skill, most of the time, we can easily kill the opponent without problem. 1 stun 1 powershot should make it less than half hp, I either can windrun to chase and kill it or shackle it.

For boot, I go phase boot rather than tread. I sometime go travel boot if I want to keep farming and predict that the game gonna go for long time.
Phase boot give me dmg which useful for my focus fire, the phase skill also good for me when chasing opponent and not blocked by creep.
Most of the time I need to chase up to powershot those enemy that trying to run away with low hp.

To use powershot, your aiming and prediction must be very accurate. Have to take some time to practice and also observe the opponent movement pattern. When it low hp, it mostly like to stay near left or right, if you can predict it, you can powershot it and mostly will get the kill.

After that I will get crystal which increase her dmg so that when I focus fire most of the time I can win. If opponent got a lot of nuker and disable then get bkb first rather than crystal because windrunner is very weak in handling the incoming magic dmg and disable.

When teamfight, first use your orchid to silence that aoe ulti hero, then try your best to shackle another 2opponents then focus fire on it. If you make it, most of the time opponent team will lose cos only left 3 to fight(while 1 cannot use skill for 5 sec) while other 2 been disable for 3.5 sec. If they attack you, you use windrun to become the best tanker in 5 sec. Then when they start flee, you can use powershot to pick them down.

There are a lot more on windrunner but now I don't have enough time to write out. You can check my match which show that most of the time I only use that set of items. Most of ppl play windrunner as support but I mostly play as attacker.

Added on June 27, 2012, 5:36 pmThe orchid is very important item to windrunner cos windrunner weak in opponent nuke and disable.
With orchid, windrunner can protect herself from getting nuke and disable by that hero and because it also increase 25% of dmg dealing to that hero, it make ur focus fire almost no reduction of dmg at all.
The silence can stop opponent heavy AOE ulti and also can help team to gank those got runaway skill hero such as queen of pain, storm, anti mage. It also good in preventing the brew to use ulti so that we can quickly finish him.

If you vs blood seeker, when he use ulti on you, remember dun run, you on windrunner to make yourself immune to his dmg but dun run, just use teleport scroll to teleport back. Most of the time you will be safe except they got other hero come with blood seeker and it got disable skill.
When vs huskar, also same thing, he ulti on you, you just on windrunner and teleport back. If your dmg is very good, you can even kill him.
So for windrunner, as long as you facing danger, you can on windrunner then teleport back.

I heard someone had request admin to open a sub forum for dota 2 trading, is it open already or not? I can't find it.

bounty hunter can gank moon?
you pop out, she ulti u die right?

This thread already 100++page, it is a good time for admin to put subforum for it.

This 3 days server very strange. The ping is ok (66ms no packet lost) but the animation in game keep missing. (eg. when I powershot, I not even know that whether my shot already shot out or not, this cause that I can't act in consistence tempo) Then sometime whether I had kill that creep or not also dunno cos the animation for gold appear out and sound can missing. I think the SEA server already too its max support.

Then after this luna patch, when we go in customization, the whole thing at there become slow motion. Then yesterday the server show 0 players online.

Wisp is quite powerful support hero. With it on opponent team, it is not easy for our side to go out farm. They can simply teleport to any place at anytime and no signal at all. (Not like furion which at least we can see a group of tree appear out b4 he come). If their team got luna or juggernaut, they can simply teleport them to you when you farm alone, then start chase you out all creep group to ulti on you.

Anyone face this?

My friend kena once.
This cause our team lose a match.

recently server and new patch problem, more and more players keep disconnect and drop. Hope that coming patch will solve it.

Oh no need buy anything also can have 10 pages? 1 pages 64 slots right? so now we have 640 slots?
how about those that had bought something? how many pages do you have?

ok I got 2 chest key, any suggestion on which chest should I open?

got chest that uncommon?
i only got common chest
uncommon is what series?

I not bought the chest key, I trade to get it.

Just now got an good match. Seldom got chance to have such a good fight.
Opponent got good combo which cause our side losing tower in short time.
Most of the time, ppl in losing side will easily give up but all the teammate in this match quite good, each other help and cover in fight. Finally we fight back and win the match.

As you can see 40 min match. Radiant got 38kills and Dire got 50 kills. Total 88 deaths in 40 min, 1 min 2 death. Very very hot match, seldom got long farming time.

game ID 23930011.

luckily our side able to win b4 it dc. If not, waste loh, that match is so good.

Anyone of you face combo that come by axe and dark seer or axe and enchantress?
These 2 together in 1 lane can easily take down the tower plus killing that lane opponent easily.
Any suggestion on countering it?
