Adagio No problem, fresh bird meat

Koshka Avoid the two assasins, mostly whem they're together, in the early game. After that tear them to shreds.
3
Petal Unless they're a strong kiting crystal build with a little backup, you got yourself some fresh rabit.
3
Ringo Kiters suck but mostly you'll be fine. Make sure to close the gap and keep it closed with shiversteel.
3
Taka Like i said with the other assasin, don't try to attack both at once until mid-late game.
4
Glaive You're the alpha male, don't worry about the other guys. So far he's easy.
4
Joule Don't be blind (too late) and you'll be fine.
4
SAW You should be fine.
5
Catherine Can be a pain in the butt if she has a crustal build and high armor, make sure to avoid early on and with friends later on.
5
Krul Of course he would be up there on the list, treat him like catherine, avoid 1v1 confrontations until later on.

Catherine Avoid a strong spread out team targeting you, unless you're reasonable powerful and competent of your abilities and willing to risk your life for a kill or two, don't do it. Hesitation or a simple lack of power will make your aoe's worth nothing if they can't kill.

Ok so this build works best when you're a few levels above everyone else, allowing you to start killing 2 1/2 heroes at once mid game. Start farming in the forest first off and stack your weapon speed boosters. As long as your opponent isn't a tank you should be fine by level 3 to defeat someone. I only buy 2-3 potions at the beginning for close calls early on. Run around everywhere killing monsters as you upgrade at the center shop. Usually i'll buy the light armor or oakheart, then upgrade two of the speed weapons to tier 2, then buy (upgrade) oakheart to tier 2-3, then of course the 3rd speed weapon boost thingy. Depending on the enemies you have problems with, and the amount of income you get, and all the variences of your playing style, you can upgrade from then on as you please, maybe starting with getting the tier 1 speed boots.
I rarely go in lane unless i'm level four+ and i need to finish someone off, or when it's late game when i can block and demolish turrents with a buddy. Your aoe's become very handy, use twisted stroke and bloodsong whenever you like, but save an afterburn for the runaway guy. I usally find myself bloodstroking then twisted strokeing two nearby heroes in quick sucession, one is usually a melee so i go for him first, auto slicing and keeping my finger above the shiversteel, afterwards i afterburn after the ranged guy and use (if not already activated) shiversteel and mow him down. This build goes along happily with bloodstroke stacks. If my team is winning i'll focus on only upgrading the weapons to speed up the progress. It's pretty funny watching him mow down minions and heroes alike with constant critical slashes.
Sorry this is a jumble of mess, i hope it helps.
One last thing, maxamize your time in the jungle, if you're brought low on health, you can still clear your side of the forest so do that before you teleport back. Every little bit of a golden edge counts.
