I had an opponent last night where he went straight boots and tangos starting items. He got level 1 Upheaval and just do Upheaval things to harass us in the offlane as it is so difficult to stun him when he hides in the trees. Is this considered a bad practice as it shoves the wave or can you just Upheaval the enemy heroes so that they coudn't reach for last hits?

Is it ok to spam tangos when playing offlane? Or should you rush ring of health and then to vanguard and other ROH build ups? Also do you first item faeri fire?
What are the conditions in which you:

1. Make Bracers
2. Make Magic wand and munch tangos and health pots
3. Just Rush Phaseboots or treads
4. ROH items

For defensive measures mostly, when you are just getting poked and cant do lane.

Any SB offlane enjoyers here? Can you share some tips of how to itemize and how to lane with this hero? What are the starting items? Does he only need to survive the laning stage and get some levels or does he have a kill potential in lane? Also, how do you farm with this hero early because he is a like a bash luck bot in the starting minutes?

What does he mean that late game condition doesn't really mean anything vs a team that has a massive gold advantage?
