                              Lotus orb only has an active ability, requiring players to time it effectively in synergy with their friendly target. The effect is really good and the additional armour, hp and mana regen it gives you is great to have also. However most players, especially those who play mostly by themselves or don't really know how to use it (like myself) won't want to pick it up over a Shiva's or AC. If they added a passive effect while also reducing some other factors (for balance) then it might become more popular. It is still a really good pick up in a lot of cases in my opinion

                                After reading the title I expected to see Hood of Defiance being praised.

                                    I was hoping this article would review Lotus Orb as well. It's such an amazing item on paper, but I don't know which heroes can utilise the most out of it, and if I should buy it as a support to use it on my cores.

                                      Nice thing about Lotus Orb is it dispels a lot of things when activated. You can't active a LS on yourself, and in many cases BKB would be a core item over Lotus Orb anyways.
                                      If you are playing a hero who would benefit from the mana regen (ie. Invoker or Storm Spirit), I would go for the Orb over BKB first, especially if you have to deal with a Silencer.

                                        I mainly use lotus orb after the fight started and my teammate or myself get some debuffs like silence or hex. Echo shell is just a bonus effect compared to its dispel.

                                        HAI DOMO!

                                          Nice Dragon Knight set up there.

                                                        I think Valve needs to take a guide like this for early game items, and put it in the Dota 2 Game. Make it required for players to read it and be able to accurately answer questions about those items, and why it useful to get them instead of a 24 minute battlefury with 0 items / sustain / damage.

                                                            I thought there was a "z" in "itemization"....weird

                                                              British english uses an "s" in a lot of words which are spelled with a "z" in american english.
