Hero Strategy
Make use of Spark Wraiths to secure creep last hits, especially ranged creep.
If an opponent splits away from creeps or his ally, you can Flux him and follow up with right-clicks and Spark Wraiths.
Use Spark Wraiths to scout the opponents and protect yourself while farming.
Make sure not to feed Tempest Double to opponents as it gives away a lot of gold and experience.
Use Tempest Double as frequently as possible to split push the sidelanes and damage buildings.
Avoid being part of the teamfights from the very start until you get first major item that will tank you up.
Whenever opponents teleport back on a hero or two to address your split push, look to fight the remaining opponents, smoke up or take Roshan.
