I've had a few more replies to my Windrunner post so for convenience my responses are all here :)
blehnifty answered: I would hold out on focus fire until your team is pushing towers and you have more mana (i.e. leveling it at 10,11 and 16)
Yeah a lot of people have said the same. Right now I've got it written down to level at 11, 16 and 17, and get some stats in between but if it's a good idea I'll bring it forward a little!
alpha-star answered: Save the ultimate until level 14ish since everything else should be maxed out. For items, Force Staff/Mek are great and also consider Orchid
Ah if nothing else it's good to know I've gotten the items right! Although I do always make sure no-one else wants to get Mek before I start- then again I usually need not worry. As for the Ultimate, I'll maybe see how things play out in game and how soon we start to push. Generally it seems anywhere between 11-16 is good.
nd-yag answered: WR is an excellent example of a perfect Utility hero. She fits into any role other than a 5th perfectly. Don't buy wards- that's a fuckup
I agree with the multi-roles... The last game I played I was told by my friends to give it a go going solo in the offlane... And I did surprisingly well all things considered? I do however still buy wards if I'm playing her as a support role and no-one else is warding.
gingerfart answered: Focus fire at level 10-11+ unless you're able to push really early ---otherwise it's pretty useless like everyone has said. Phase are nice.
Yes! In the past one or two games I've really gotten to love Phase Boots! Same comment as about on Focus Fire though-- I'll play it by ear based on what the team wants/needs.
