No branch no fun
Cute.
Midas

If you kill an enemy every 100 seconds alone, its more gold and more xp than midas, and you could easily manage that if instead of farming midas you go kill someone from early, since with that gold and xp you get more items, you get better at easily killing, etc. You don't need midas.
i would have to agree that Dagger is the best damn item .. Without it .. i wouldnt be able to play .. since i pick only Gankers / stunners that need dagger ..
Crix / Es / tiny / viper etc..
All of them can be played without dagger very easily with good game awareness and knowledge, but the overall gameplay is far more BORING and lacks very cute possibilities without dagger.
Best item ever.
^   the cheapest maphack on internet. :)
If you know what each of the enemies heroes is (which I would be surprised if you don't) then you know what each hero has in my mind to do for the game, and if you also look at your heroes and think from the enemies perspective you realise what they definetly should do, like for example kill a certain hero which obviously rapes them if left alone, so they WILL try to kill him (if they don't, even better, he's freefarming), so have a tp and be ready to instantly tp there to help or even better, anticipating this, be there in his lane and stay hidden near the area where he is farming, they will all go there to try to kill him, you come instantly from fog, prevent them from killing him, then kill everyone. If they are all missing, look again at their heroes, what would they want to do in this particular moment, look at the lanes positions, that tells you even more clearly what are their possible locations, look at your heroes positions on the map, which of them are visible to the enemies, etc. Also when you walk by normal wards spot, you should expect that you are seen and act accordingly, also if one of your teammates decides to walk past a normal ward spot, you can anticipate them being seen and the enemies trying to kill him, and again you can stay hidden in that area and prevent them from doing that and kill them, etc.

If you have good game awareness and game knowledge you very rarely need wards. (the only situations in which you do need wards if you have good game awareness and knowledge is when you are VERY behind and they can kill you pretty much at any time they see you, at that point you need wards then to be DEFINETLY sure they are not near or else your only option to be safe is sit in base which implies you're not farming which implies they get much more ahead which implies your chances to win get closer and closer to 0)

The point is, I'd rather have a dagger than full vision of the map, because dagger is very cute and because I don't need to keep my eyes open to know where my enemies can be, I already know, with my eyes closed. ::)

Wards can be handy many ways. For example if you see they are missing and you are their primary target to hunt but with a nice ward you see that all of them missing, but only 1 or 2 heroes coming for you, ping to your allies and counter gank them. Without wards it can be more risky. In my opinion more info is always good. Even with a good map awareness and game knowledge it is useful to have more information and know when they make mistake. If you expect all of them will come for you to gank but see only 1 enemy trying to solokill you, gives advantage.

Btw dagger and eul's are also in the top5 best items on dota for me. :)

Midas

Midas is a hard choise. If you make it for gold, it is very risky. It costs 2050gold and gives you 190 every 100 sec. That means you have to use it 10 times before you get gold profit, so you need around 17 mins after finishing the item, before you reach profit. With a 7-8min midas that means 25 min to actually get profit with it in gold.
If you get it for xp, it is decent with heroes that aren't really able to fight/participate ganks early-mid game.
Then you spam on highest lvl neutrals for the 2.5x xp bonus and get lvlups fast.
Another good thing is the reliable gold that you can't loose with death.
So overall i think midas is only good for lategamers, level depended heroes.

Btw i already realized that it is your favorite :)
I know what I stand for;
I STAND FOR ME!!!

If all of them are missing, and you see only 1 or 2 coming to you because of a ward, that still doesn't tell you the whole story, what if the others are still coming for you but they are just hidden in a path not seen by your ward, or they are smoked ? Then the ward actually fucks you up even more because you assume it's only one or two and you are safe and that turns up not to be the case.

Also, if you are in a position to get ganked, you are doing/have done something wrong, you should be the one making your opponents scared, not the other way around, no matter what type of hero you have.

Dagger, so sexy on meepo.
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame!

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die!
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try!
