      Skip Midas

      meteor hammer

        go 2x null or null+wand, buy a ward for urself for 4 minute night if you dont have one, buy raindrop

        if u get dove and u cold snap+ss under tower they should die 100%. if they gank u without dust u can just qqw

        Desolate

          basilus is nice vs right click mid and if enemie doesnt use magics alot so Null and basilus are ok

          Lesbolas

            Its the harder time whit invoker.
            U have pressure of farming and to win the lane whit a shit hero in the first stages.
            Invoker is so much item dependend and also exp.
            Get early cheap items for help yourself. Get vision for prevent ganks.
            Get mana Regen so u can farm some camps fast while u mid.
            Best items are raindrop basilius into eagle null (1-2) stick (if worth) phase boots urn of shadow.
            My build is: null tango ( start) > regens> haste glove > raindrop> eaglering >boots> void stone > phase boots>core items

            Desolate

              ^ phase bpots invoker

              u crazy???srsly pls trash people dont make any idea about this game

              Lesbolas

                Why?
                They are cheap and give a good boost to damage and movement speed.
                Something that invo really need in early mid.
                After u can sell and get travel.

                blinko

                  U know u lost when your invoker mid gets phase boots

                  meteor hammer

                    ?????!!!!!!!

                    Xignum

                      or you skip that 840 gold and get a midas instead

                      cartel

                        The fuck is eagle ring

                        meteor hammer

                          u see hes 2k but he doesnt have 35% winrate so hes much more believable

                          Lesbolas

                            So im wrong ok...
                            But what are your suggestions?

                            In mine suggestion midas wasnt on the list.
                            Its a build if u have problems on early game.
                            If you have free farm mid obv u rush midas.

                                Invoker buying midas is like antimage buying BF

                                    If you even think of getting anything other than said item because you're behind it's either you're garbage or the hero is garbage for that specific game

                                      Im sorry but midas is not a must have.
                                      Aghanim is.
                                      Aganim is the game changing item.
                                      If u are getting reckt mid and you and your team are far behind the enemy u have to go straight aga or you are gonna loose the game.
                                      Just yesterday watched a pro invoker whitout midas.

                                                            I always Invoke Cookie whenever my lane is fucked. Fuck Alacrity, Sunstrike, Cold Snap. Cookie for the win.

                                                            dunce

                                                              Keep your lane as back as possible
                                                              If enemy is still good at harassing, you could even get lvl 3 quas at lvl 5 so u cant be harassed out of the lane. When they are trading hits with you, they should be trading with you, forge spirit and creeps.
                                                              Usually against melee heroes you go alacrity, forges against ranged.

                                                                        Mind

                                                                          midas is good for invoker because simply he need lots of XP - not GOLD - midas is 2k gold and its gonna pay in 11 min
                                                                          so if you skip that you have less 30 AS (Which is nice for him ) and you are 11 min ahead in terms of gold at least
                                                                          you will use midas like 20 min if you buy 10 min midas normaly so you have 3k more gold (1k for actually selling midas )
                                                                          well thats worth it
                                                                          i used to save fast aghz and it worked
                                                                          you dont have to buy midas every time but it will work most of times
                                                                          Bots and Blink dagger will give you more XP too depends on game maybe you can skipmidas for early bots or early blinkdagger or force staff
                                                                          you should read future
                                                                          vs riki its an option to even save midas gold for early force staff
                                                                          you gonna have less gold in the late game but you will die less (or much less )
                                                                          vs early team fights you can buy bots fast ( i mean like in min 10 you have bots 2xnull talismal and wand ) thats huge for early game
                                                                          but thats happen when your cs is more than 60 in first ten min and you die two or less and you kill one or more
                                                                          everything less than that is losing early game
                                                                          if you cant cs 60 and deny at least 10 in 10 minutes item and strats is not your problem

                                                                                  Oldman

                                                                                    Xignum

                                                                                      PotAtobrother

                                                                                        Mind

                                                                                          problem is invoker needs BOTS
                                                                                          if he phaseboot he cant bots so in +25 min play he is limited farming or splited so much from his team
                                                                                          eather lose teamfights or getganked
                                                                                          unless he manage his tp scroll timing
                                                                                          mostly people will spend all their gold while their losing the lane
                                                                                          thats why when i see phase boot on enemy i will be happy
                                                                                          and phase boots = delay midas timing = delay aghz timing right ?
                                                                                          and whene you limited that much gold you will not buy bots
                                                                                          i also dont buy phase boots in QW style
                                                                                          sure its good about 7 - 10 min but you will enter the phase you need bots
                                                                                          Also thriple wex gives you movement speed base on your base movement speed
                                                                                          phaseboot not gives you flat MS
