He is boss here, you should pray to him for mercy.

On topic:
Maybe you are best meepo player here since i'm not playing on ebnet. Anyway..
Meepo without dagger is sad, why? Simply, you can walk into some retards and rape them but good players with 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001% skill will just rape you in that time. You have to initiate somehow and just walkin into them is meh. Also, if you wait them to initiate on you, it means you're pretty much dead. (yeah walking like noob into them works in games like this one which you posted since there is exactly 0 meepo counters).
About item build:
Skadi> HoT (almost same HP on clones+ other stats+ amazing slow, hot gives only str+ regen on main meepo, just useless item on him)
Manta > HoT anytime
Hex > everything
So standard 6 sloted meepo should be (dagger, bot, skadi, skadi, scepter, hex)
for more split push, swap one skadi with manta. (its good gank item also, since you can send illusion in woods to scout and poof on it with real meepo)
for more offensive, swap one skadi with eblade.
Also, team should build vlads, ac and other auras.

enjoy.

rampage at the end... wow.
You really like embarrassing yourself, don't you begin ?

6 deaths with meepo vs absolutely no threat to meepo's life in any of those enemy heroes. Wow.

No dagger (clicking something else too hard right ?), goes for heart even though more than half of that item doesn't go to illusions (regen or pure hp increase), I have to say, without a single doubt this is one of the worst meepos I've ever seen, and I saw a lot.

2x skadi on 6 slotted meepos is silly, you're better off getting a refresher for 2x hex in most cases, or even a bkb (yeah yeah it only affects the main meepo, but it's nice to be able to move around almost every time regardless of enemy focus with atleast one meepo while the others are stunned/kept in place, because you can poof them to it after the lil stuns are over), linken is interesting too because it does pass some stats and if you have half a brain you can use it on some random meepo which gets focused and it can be much better than a second skadi if you block some big spell.

Forcestaff also offers many more possibilities than a second skadi, even eul incase you're hatefocused. (don't get damaged for 0.5 sec, then use eul, then blink out, then poof all others out incase of trouble, you shouldn't be in any trouble if you know how to play but you can bait with it quite nicely)

Also if you have retarded allies which refuse to go a cuirass, you can get it yourself instead of the second skadi, since it's very nice to have that attackspeed/armor aura/armor reduction aura near you permanently, regardless of any clueless allied ants.


Also, again, playing meepo is one of the most disgusting things to do, since meepo is the easiest hero in dota.

Thats why I said "standard". You can always swap skadi with ac (for example) but usually im playing whit friends so there is no problem about ac, vlads, pipe. They'll make it for me XD
Also, you can go 3x manta or 3x hex or 3x eblade or whatever.

Even if they make it, it's unrealistic to say they will always be near you, maybe the one carrying the cuirass would like to bait for example, maybe he will die, and then you won't have it near you, so it's fine if you do it instead, then your ally can afford something else which still helps you, like a force and jango for example since they cost almost the same as cuirass, and those are 2 items, not 1, which means it's better that way.


Like I already said around a hundred thousand million billion trillion times, meepo is too good, so basically almost everything works if you play it out correctly.

What I ment is, 2x skadi isn't "standard", an EUL for example is far "more standard" than a second skadi, to either disable an additional important enemy hero while you kill someone or buy time for your team to get closer or save a teammate or save yourself, eul does more than an extra skadi in most situations, which means it is more close to being "standard" since it applies better in most situations, not all, but most, and that's why it's a better candidate to be considered "standard" instead of an extra skadi.

Manta is also far "more standard" than an extra skadi, you can poof to them, but you can also just use it in fights and sometimes your enemies will kill an illusion instead of one of the real meepos, which is a lot of time wasted which pretty much always results in a won fight. You can also dodge some spells with it, use it as a bait, it also gives some stats, it also gives some movespeed to the real meepo, etc.

So again, my point is eul or manta are far more "standard" than a second skadi, because they allow you to do far more than just tank a little more and do a little more dps.

Spoiler for Hiden:
Of course it is quite irrelevant what is standard and what is not, since you should never just go for standard builds blindly anyway.

You should always think what works best in your situation, regardless of what's standard and what's not.
