BF- The golden Axe (sam's trade-mark)
150% mana regen
6hp health per sec
65 dmg
a 40% cleave (for melee, if I c any sniper buy this thing, then u are wrong to be even here)

Problems here, is really bf worth buying for all melee hero?
Or even to most melee hero, is bf really a good first item?
THe advantages of BF
65dmg for 4375, less than 100$ for a dmg point is quite worth it...
cleave- COntrary to the dota description, it should be (the user become a powerful farming machine...)
hp regen (6hp regen is actually quite crappy now....vanguard 5hp, heart 1% of max hp, hood 8hp)
mana regen (150% mana regen should be more than enough to spam skill to kill, but str hero need spam skill for wat wo)
Disadvantages
-In a one on one situation, the only advantage u have is extra 65 dmg, 6hp regen, mana regen...for 4375 $, u didn't increase ur hp, ur atk spd. MKB, Deso, Buriza could actually gain an more edge (crit, ministun, -armor reduction)
-Fighting against a team of gankers (e.g.-zeus, NA, etc, I doubt you could farm much with bf)
So, I had a list that heros that should buy bf...
MUST buy
PA- (crit 400% synergize with bf can be very PAINFUL, and also PA nid battlefury to farm his next few item)
Skeleton King- (Another hero tht should buy bf, bf works well with his vampiric aura and his 300% crit. Same reason as above)
Rogue Knight and Magna- (simple, bf splash and also their skill splash damage can be painful)
Any hero that has a potential to be a carry should buy bf. They are usually heros that hav no contribution in a team fight (except by stunning spell) and not a good ganker early game.
MUST NOT BUY
Dragon Knight- Yaya, I see tons of example people buy bf for this guy and godlike etc etc. But, the reason he godlike is becuz of the stun, froze breath and etc. He did not nid bf to become god. His ulti is a range splash. His first skill is an area fire. Dk can farm pretty well without a BF Instead of bf, you should buy radiance if he wants to tank, or hyperstone if he wants to become dps
If u wan stack two bf, you will wonder later, should i cast ulti on dk...cuz ur 2bf splash is useless when u are a range dragon...
Sand King- Why not woh? I bf plus 3rd skill can kill lots of creep very fast...but, sk 3rd skill alone is a good farming machine...U burrowstrike hit creep for two times u can kill the whole wave. Why bother BF. Especially on recent nerf Sand King is a hero wiv crappy hp and crappy armor, he can still easily raped to death even there's a bf. U buy 2 bf? Lion first skill atk atk voodoo atk atk ulti, and u r done...
For farmers sk, it's better u buy some tanking item-assault or heart, then wiv a mkb or sth if u wan be team killer. For PROS sk, buy dagger or bkb to rape enemy wiv ur allies.
Spiritbreaker- WTF!!! U r a ganker, why buying a farming item. S@y is ur item, u can rape people with juz that item. or if u wan ministun, mkb. WHY BF!!! U get money by killing hero, not by farming...Leave the farming to other carry heros la...
Stealth Assasin- By the time this riki get a bf and a butterfly, your team will either win, with ur assist and kill rate ZERO, or ur team lose, and they blame that sial farming riki for doing nothing...
RIki is a tafu hero. He needs s@y and offering to slightly increase his hp and survivalbility. I know you can invi, but there is always ward to counter. Buy a yasha or diffusal, and gank with ur teammate la.
Others hero in consideration
-Bounty Hunter- he's actually quite useless with cleave, cuz he's a ganker. But he need the mana regen desperately to gank, and also some dmg with him crit will actually quite nice...
-Phantom lancer- Same thing as above, he need mana to spam his first skill...
So, next time, think twice before u want to stack BFs on tiny, naga (someone really thinks of buying bf to naga...), and earthshaker...Know ur hero team potential, then only u decide to buy bf or not and if u nerubian assasin still want to be a dps, fine.........
