My old script about BotS Meepo
So, I got matched with this Meepo smurf,which turned out to be a top 300 player, and honestly I was amazed by this new Meepo build and his active playstyle. Now, you can think whatever you want about smurfing, I am not defending smurfing, I’m here just to showcase you Meepo build that I found really strong in the current patch.
So, he starts with the usual starting items,except that he is not grading any of the items into anything. The first thing he buys, besides the set of tangos, is the Brown Boots. That’s because this guy is rushing the Boots of Travel, which turns out, an insanely strong boots on the Meepo right now.
From my perspective, Meepo has already had for a very long time a very stale playstyle of just afk farming his critical mass. Even in the previous patches this playstyle hasn’t been working well,as there were too many matchups that were punishing meepo for his afk farming. In the current patch, power treads got nerfed, ethereal blade got destroyed for meepo, and stats from talents and skillpoints got also nerfed. ( they were giving double bonuses for clones)
So, the playstyle of quickly farming a critical amount of stats is basically nerfed.
Okay. First of all, Boots of speed. Meepo has a very high base movesepeed, but with Brown boots he will have 375 movespeed; which helps a lot for laning, as you can minimize the harass uptime that enemy will have on you, but also with this movespeed it would be easy for you to stack a lot of camps in the jungle and you will basically be able to farm faster, since your ms will allow to farm some camps in between the creep waves.
So, your main job on the laning, is to farm as fast as you can, to get Boots of Travel quickly. And with boots of travels your gameplay changes drastically. This item not only gives you a lot of farm potential due to its mobility, but it will also allow you to connect with your teammates very early, which the normal meepo build would not allow, and also, if the laning is rough, the ability to teleport both your main meepo and clones will help you to salvage the rough matchups.
So, with Travels, Meepo can be played basically as a normal human being midlane hero, that can not only farm his timings, but, if he needs to, he is able to help his teammates.
So, your gameplay should be just farming as fast and effective as you can, but also watching for possible ganks to connect with your team, as you’re actually really strong at this point.
After the Travels, he usually buys double Dragon Lances. I know, he probably doesn’t even know that the range bonus doesn’t work on the Meepo. But on a serious note, this item got heavily buffed in the previous patches, this item gives an insane amount of stats to Meepo for its cheap cost. So, that's basically a no-brainer as this item will heavily increase your damage output and also your tankiness.
After these items, you can buy whatever you need in the game, but most of the time this player goes for a Skadi, since it gives a great amount of stats and also actually, the slow of this item is quite nice.
Before or after the skadi, he also buys a Blink Dagger for positioning. He doesn’t really need an early game blink, since with the travels meepo moves insanely fast, so by this time by the midgame, it’s pretty reasonable to buy blink,especially considering, that if you upgrade it later to a Swift Blink, this item’s agility will also work on your Meepo clones.
Let’s move to the talents and skillbuild. First of all, he obviously maxes Poofs, with a value point in Ransack on the level 2. After the poof he prioritizes leveling an Earthbind, since by this time he should have travels already. And Travel boot’s movement speed combined with a maxed Earthbind will give you a huge amount of catch for easy kills.
On the level 10 with this build he always chooses Poof Damage,since Poofs are a notable part of your damage output.
Level 15 talent depends on the situation, if you have some kind of evasion against you, then you should level this talent. Another interesting thing that he does, is that if he’s unsure if the enemy’s going to buy an evasion item or not, he skips this talent and skills the stat bonuses. On the level 20 he goes for the Earthbind cooldown, and on the level 25 for the additional meepo clone.
