according to my experience....a lots of players din't likes to buy chick , but for me....i nearly always going to buy a chick ...

for a 5v5 -ar game , when starting got 7xx gold...the 1st item i buy is chick

the advantages of buy chick
1st : seldom go back to base
2nd : low hp/mana no nid back base and just use chick send potion/laser come
3rd : faster then opponent get a boot
4th : if you noticed u will die , just use chick buy some items (like example , b4 u die u got 1.3k gold... after u die may b the gold will bcome xxx gold only , y don u straight buy some item b4 losing $ on died ?)
5th : "u guys add it"

ps. i can confirmed if i got chick , i won't easily back 2 base

Errr.....normally i wont buy lo... Coz after i have bot it... I left 300++ gold oni.. 1 circlet and mantle already finish up all my gold... No gold for potion and etc.....

do u all wan a crow then?

Crow is too much ler... Chick already 300 ++. Crow have to add another 1k...

i think it all depends on the game and situation , for me i'll get boots first and probably a cirlet , then farm , then get ring of regen , or health, then dont go back base

crow is the dumbest item IMO.
500+225+200=925 for a transport or scout?

How the hell you want it to scout with 150hp?

I will buy chicken if my hero is the kind that able to stay in a lane forever..(Someone like Dragon Knight, Lich etc)

crow got mana it can activate dagon ya knw?

Serious??

lol now maybe its worth the money lol

Lol, who wants to give Dagon or Guinsoo to the crow.

1 chop = Happy Meal for your opponent. Fried Crow Wing + Dagon Toy for him

Perhaps buying a heart will helps.....

agree

it depend on wat hero u have picked...if lifestealer or skeleton king..i think i will buy lo..no need to go back to base..

my early items are ring, two branch and one courier chicken..(mostly for all the heroes i use)

I think can... but not worth lor cos the flying courier is too expensive

I saw in an apem game, the hero bought radiance dagon and aegis for thr crow. The crow follow him wherever he goes to battle. Cool man!

If i m in that game, im gonna buy a lothal and bs the crow. Bs 3 times, radiance and dagon is mine..... Die 3 times also worth.....

Haha. Neway i played in 1game just now, killing ur crow will give ur 300gold! You dun have to farm neutral creeps anymore, just hunt for crow!

not so easy to hunt lar , the crow can run so fast. I dun think there is much ppl buying it cos it's too expensive, not worth.

Kidding only mah. Haha.

str does not increase hp of crow or anything else besides hero

so u would only gain like what 300 hp bonus? might as well buy 5 vitality booster

Yes, chick is the 2nd thing i get. 1st is a shoe

even if i buy chicken, most of the time i wont use the chicken. so, currently i prefer to get a few more flask instead. if u can use the chick effectively, it indeed a good tool. too bad i hardly able to use the chick effectively

Got once i use faceless void, after i killed spectre, i saw his chicken is nearby. So i chased his chicken all over the place and the chicken ran into the wood (top lane), playing hide and seek with me. It's like a slaughterer chasing a chicken in kampung. Haha. Finally I have to use timewalk to kill his chicken and get all the items.

Wat items oh inside? early, mid, or late game?

Boot of speed, blade of alacrity, boot of elvenskin and 1 sapphire water, it was early game.

wah! total 2050 gold ...Farming is very hard in the early game... pity him.. Did the fella leave the game after u stole his items?

Advice:
It's recommended tat once u have got enugh money, quickly buy the item and use the courier to bring out, don't ever keep all the items in your courier and bring out in case got killed...

lol, nice one. too bad u didn get more expensive item like butterfly. u can laugh while killing ur enemy if u got one FREE

Lmao... If i play wif frens... thats the 1st time i buy....

not me, it's mangoman who killed ppl's courier.

No, he didnt leave but he was very pissed off. Tht time actually happened aft i killed him only his chicken arrive, not enuf time to tp his chicken back. Hehe.



I saw in 1 game, SA was hiding in the secret shop there and waiting for some1 to drop item. His dream finally came true when bs drop his butterfly to buy item in the shop. SA straightaway stole tht item and BS was like, "what the f***?!!! Where is my butterfly?".
Moral of the story: next time if SA is around, make sure bring ur ward 2gether when shopping in secret shop.

that crow really nice to use,can put wards and scout everywhere

crow good item
hav 400mp can active dagon
n run very fast
sometimes late game dagon can giv to the crow

i dun really buy crow... i buy teleport scrolls alot though

learn from my 3 corridor days ^^

i buy both chic and teleport scroll.

ibuy chick, but doesnt move it to the battlefeild. i leave it at the fountain and take the items when i am back. unless almost finish, then use scroll...==

Then wat for in buying the chic, jus leave it at the fountain?
When u go back also can buy wat...

so when he get the amount of money that he needs , straight buy using chick

die means wont lose the item lor , in case running back 2 base that time die or something

Haha. Play safe eh. U must be an insurance agent.
