not sure what you guys have been drinking, but Marci...

Should be always built with Battle Fury. I mean, 99% of the guides go "oh armletzzz sO PrOWAfULLLLLLLL" but I'm dead serious. First item BF = extremely fast farm. So you go BF Armlet BkB and u are a Team-Fight nightmare.... just saying....

If you stack in melee for her, but then that's Sven, right ?

no need to stack anything.... Just go BF, lane normally, know how to exploit her OPness with the jump + dispose combo... You're golden. Sven's much weaker in comparisson, much easier to disable too... With spell-immunity and Ult lvl 3 you can rampage any TF in seconds.

you know if you farm for bf you don't fight ? and if you are farming with ur bf for a armlet, you don't fight too ? :D

And it's not the same price :>

BF hits only close range ?!

you think? Nah, that's not what happens... You can reach BF by lvl 6/7 if you farm well enough, you don't lose your toss nor your ult if you don't have armlet, you also do not miss kills... With only BF you already have fighting power... Plenty actually...

+7.5 Health Regeneration
+2.75 Mana Regeneration
+60 Attack Damage (10 more than Armlet)
Cleave dmg + Quell

old GOLDEN item that has been forgotten many patches ago apparently. It gives her mana regen and HP regen (perseverance) and it has built-in dmg... You don't need Armlet if your intent is to use her ult when fighting, which means you'll be only fighting every minute or so, plenty of down-time to stick to the lane clearing creeps with BF (and pushing consequently).

I was just giving a tip. For those who know how to move in the map, BF does wonders for her.

My latest test was BF > Boots > Armlet > BkB > Travel Boots > Rod > Gleipnir > ???
Last item wasn't needed, but could use either a Crystalis > Daedalus (ridiculous dmg) or Linken's or Satanic. Regardless it's OP as fk...

For neutral items you can use either the melee range ones, or Brigand's or even the tier 1 "life-steal" one.

The only problem is until you get BF Marci actually has no tools to farm at all, right ?
Not sure why you quote me if you don't relate.

You only need 1630 more g for it, after that you farm like a cash-printer. It's a old strat for heroes like Jugg and PA. You trade nutella early-game for a imba mid than late game.
Since she has mobility you can avoid boots for a long while, if needs rise you can take cheap items like wand or regen items. You'll have quelling blade anyway, and her scaling allows for decently ease of farming with few exceptions

Take note of this babble of mine, at some point we'll get some nice famous guys doing it...

i play offlane marci and armlet does serve me better. battlefury only for pos 1, or you're going to throw game. offlane needs tankiness and survival. i've seen many bf mid players who are absolutely useless craps. you're either herald/guardian bracket or troll.

edit: if you get good stun/slow 2nd player. you'll win almost all lanes and get kills early. then snowball the game

That's not true, you assume your team has control and the enemies don't. There are lots of supports like Ogre, Jakiro and cores like WK, CK that can counter the control quite well. Bane also can totally disable her if positioned well even in bkb. Also WW, Enigma, etc.
The only thing you need to understand depending on game is to determine if you are the team that want to initiate or the one counter initiating.

it is possible to do it mid, depends on the other team's mid pick, but ultimately I wouldn't recomend trying to hard-carry with any hero when going mid. Mid requires a lot of stuff and you can't really rely on farm there. BF would also push it too hard too fast, which makes it nearly impossible to farm as a hard carry (you'll inevitably lose a lot of creeps due to the lane advancing past the tower if the other guy knows what he is doing).

With marci you want to either trap enemies early game under your own tower (best lane is the safe lane for that), or to destroy their positioning (good for offlane). On mid you can't do neither, unless the enemy is a fool.

Best advantage of getting BF early is that you can actually farm ancients with her if you leveled side-kick first. So you basically roam between mid and offlane taking on ancients while pushing both lanes incessantly. Why does this work? Because she is S tier when it comes to taking on dangerous positioning.
