Dota 2 - Treant Protector Build Guide

BIO
Far to the west, in the mountains beyond the Vale of Augury, lie the remains of an ancient power, a fount of eldritch energy nestled deep in the high woods. It is said that the things that grow here, grow strangely. To the forces of nature this is a sacred place, made to stay hidden and unknown. Many are the traps and dangers of this land--all-consuming grasses and crossbred fauna and poisonous flowers--but none are so fierce as the mighty Treant Protectors. These ageless, titanic beings, charged with keeping the peace in this dangerous land, ensure that none within encroach without reason, and none without poach their secrets. For time untold they tended to their holy ground, uninterrupted, only dimly aware of the changing world beyond. Yet inevitably the wider world grew aware of this untamed land, and with each passing winter the outsiders grew bolder. Soon they arrived with tools to cut and with flames to burn, and often the Treants would ponder: who are these fragile, industrious creatures? What now had become of the wild, green world? There came and went an age of questions and of doubts, a thousand summers of long traditions set to scrutiny, while more and more the outsiders died and fed their earth. When all that bloomed had finally finished their say, curiosity had overcome caution. It was decided: a lone Protector would be sent into the wider world, and instructed to wander until the glaciers arose once more, to observe the changing land and its creatures, and to discover what unknown dangers could threaten their sacred ground.

Why take Nature's Guise and Living Armor in level 1 & 2? These 2 skills provide defensive mechanism to defend yourself and allies in the beginning of a match. Very useful to avoid firstblood.
(But if you and your friends decided to get firstblood on level 1, you can take Leech Seed to slow down the enemy.)

Why Leech Seed maxed first? This is your main nuke. you need this for slowing down enemy heroes.
A nuke is more powerful in early game when everyone still have a low HP.

Why maxing Living Armor before Nature's Guise? A level 1 Natures Guise is enough for early game to give survivability to escape in dangerous situations..

STRATEGY
Early Game
If you are the main supportive role then buying courier and wards is your priority. Ward is so important for the team to check the runes and also to keep you aware of enemy's gank attempt.

What you need to do on early game is helping your friends. That's because you are considered a supportive role. A supportive hero needs to protect their carry.
You can do it by giving a living armor in every dangerous situation. You also need to tank the damages if your carry is being targetted by the enemy. You may use invisibility to keep your friends alive.
You can use living armor to save your towers too

You may lasthits  if only your friend is not a carry.

Mid Game
In mid game, what you need to do is participate in every gank activities and teamfight activities. You have Leech seed to slow down enemies and can kill him together with your friends.

Because you have Overgrowth, you are a decent initiator. You need to at least catch 2 heroes with this skill. You can use your Nature's Guise to sneak into the middle of enemy's crowds and then cast Overgrowth there, and let your friends kill all the enemies. Remember to use Leech Seed to anyone whose run away from your team.

Remember to always replace the wards. Your team will always needs the vision of certain area. Roshan area is the most important place to be spotted. You can place another wards on enemy's jungle.

Late Game
On late game. The teamfight will be very intense. Beware! if your team lose a single teamfight it may cost you the game.
You should already reached high level here so you have an all high level skill and also an already high sats, HP and damage. And so does ebverybody in the map. And also with the high level, that means a long respawn time. That means that every move is becoming more important and decisive. So keep focus and also don;'t panic at every sitaution. Always think clearly and use all you have.

Here you should make a wise decision to choose btween 2 options:
1. To save money for buyback
2. To buy your next item
How to choose between those two? you may see how important is your next item. You can see it by: If you don't buy that item immediately, your team's can't compete with the enemy's power so buy it immediately, but if the item is not that important, you should save for buyback.

In late game, your main part is to initiate a teamfight. You are being a true teamfight initiator here. Your main skill here is: Overgrowth. If you can catch 3-5 heroes with Overgrowth, your team will be have an easy victory because your team can easily kill enemies who are being Overgrowthed.
You can use Blink Dagger or you can use your invisibility skill Nature's Guise to initiate a teamfight.
Always remember to use the Leech seed for enemy hero who escapes.

And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or
2. Your team can push enemy base and destrouy their buildings. Choose wisely!
