Description
Always Be Sliding.
Abuse your mobility, slows, and petrify to really annoy the enemy team. Dive towers, go crazy.
Your high damage allows you to solo objectives and drag enemies away from coordinated teamfights.

Emergency defense for mid-game stuns & interrupts, sucks in late game.

More movespeed = more annoyed enemies who can't chase you.

Better lifesteal to enable some out-trades

Cheap, great for burning towers

Counters mass bullet armor, best scaling for damage once you have a nice chunk of fire-rate & wep.damage
Counter-Draft Items
Get bullet/spirit armor if one particular damage kills you more

Remove single-use disarms, slows, lingering damage (Bebop, Mo&Krill, Infernus)
3000
If you attract too much attention and notice your team can kill with your space.
6000
Brings down annoying flyers if no one else can
6000
The only answer to entering their backline when they have too many disables.
1250
If singled out constantly by a lone wolf, lets you out-contest them (Haze, Fathom)

A soft-escape to roots / being thrown in-air
