I usually go one ss then blink then scream+stats all the way.

Usually I go

EoS
Butter
MKB
BoT

and then other DPS items or linkens.

I never get SS first & early - and my sentiments are justified because most of the good QoP players (I'm thinking Merlini) also do not get any levels of SS first. SS requires the full 4 levels of it to be really useful - level 1 only has 20% slow - yet Scream by any rate is more useful early. This SS skill can be gotten when the QoP is ready to gank, usually after the completion of the major item.

The same with blink - only 1 level is not sufficient, you can blink 700 range only if you target spot-on, otherwise the distance you can achieve is usually 700 x 80% = 560 distance. 560 is not far, it's like Lich attacking from his range, many heroes can catch up especially if they have a stun or a slow on you beforehand. 4 levels is required for it to be useful.

So logically, the best skill build early would be 4 levels of SoP + 4 levels of Blink + 1 level of Sonic Wave. SS can be gotten 4 levels if you have a powerful level 4 item, say Guinsoo. Until then, concentrate more on attribute bonuses.

This is what I use and it is also what I observe most QoPs use nowadays. Tactics must change according to the map changes - one cannot be stuck in history forever and keep insisting on old skill builds when they have been rendered irrelevant by the Frog's wanton nerfs.

Linkins is IMBA

ensures you always get away from a long chase

Guinsoo

will make your enemies feel the full damage of your spells

shivas

Overall ur game is not bad
note:
- u r lucky enough to get relic by farming since early. But most of the time it may be not that easy
- better to get persev early and upgrade to bloodstone / linken and radiance next to it. Since QoP is really lack of mana.
- getting at least a single boot is a must.
- max out ss is also a must, at least after 1 lv of blink nd 4 lv of SoP, and of course the ulti.
- did u know? Ss lv 4 gives damage as much damage as SoP lv 4? Even more!
SS lv4 = 100 + 5*50 = 350 dmg (within 15 sec)
SoP lv 4 = 300 dmg at once.
Why prefer SS ?
Unit slowed by SS lv4 cud b hit multiple times by u and ur friend and thus give SS more benefits.
However for an instant kill, u do need SoP lol.
And i notice, u max out stat mid game to cover the lack of hp and mana.
That s why, u need to buy at least persev so that cud be upgraded later since also need to max out SS instead of stat, and without proper item, u dont have enough mana nd hp.
