Morphling/Guide

General

 * Early on, go mid or have a support keep you safe in the safe lane while you farm.
 * Focus on farming up items. Only go for kills if you know you can get it.

Abilities

 * Use this to escape from ganks early game. If going for kills, use this after using if you have that leveled.
 * Assuming you have the regen and the mana pool, you can use waveform to speed up farming while going for those big items.
 * When wanting to maximize the damage, shift to full damage. If needing to escape, use it after you shift to mostly strength.
 * This is your primary damage spell after you finish
 * You do not need to go full agility or strength. Only 50% agility over strength is needed, and vice versa
 * Know when to switch between agility and strength. During the laning stage, put more into agility but keep enough in strength so if you get ganked you'll have enough HP to survive. When farming creeps, feel free to put more into agility, and when escaping fights put more into strength.
 * Agility will increase damage, attack speed, and armor which increases EHP vs physical opponents. Strength, but more HP increases your EHP vs spells.
 * When lower strength, you also lose 20 for your current HP Pool each time the strength lowers. This cannot deny yourself.
 * Use this on carries who build a lot of stat items to increase the effectiveness of them.
 * Alternatively use this on squishy supports and try to bait heroes into attacking it so you can in and get an easy kill. Make sure the area around it is safe first.
 * If using it on carries, enable control for them so they can control the illusion themselves to help with whatever they're doing.

Starting Items:

 * should always be picked up to give you sustain. If heading mid consider asking the supports to pool you tangoes.
 * give cost efficient stats and can be placed to increase the healing from your Tangoes.
 * improves Morphling's rather low starting armor.
 * should be considered if going mid rather than safe lane.

Early Game:

 * should be rushed if mid.
 * should be gotten at some point to improve your stats and regen.
 * are necessary on Morphling to improve his slow 285 base movement speed.

Core Items:

 * lets you stat switch on demand and gives you more attack speed.
 * lets you block one strong magical attack and gives you the stats and regen you need to use your abilities constantly to farm and fight.
 * is what makes Morphling so strong. With it, he can nuke down foes extremely quickly as well as make it so other enemies can't auto attack you for the duration of it.

Situational Items:

 * makes you tanky even if you shift all of your points into agility, and gives you a slow that, combined with your fast attack speed from all agility, will make it so no one can get away from you.
 * gives you additional protection vs auto attacks and increases the damage your +  combo can do.
 * lets you purge debuffs and gives you strong illusions because of all of your agility.
 * is what you get if you feel as though you still need additional strength and armor. The life steal doesn't heal you through your abilities, but with the amount of damage your auto attacks do that almost doesn't matter.
 * is just a safe item to get if doesn't quite give you the protection from spells you need. That being said, don't replace Linkens with Black King Bar.
