Why hello there :x My ign is majestiC and SAW is by far my favorite hero. I've been spamming SAW in high elo ranked and tournaments constantly since Spring Season, back when almost if not nobody played him at that stage. Hopefully this guide will help you understand the mechanics and item path of SAW.
Always start with a Book of Euoligies and 2 potions, since since you will have enough sustain and keep pushing the lane.I always start with Roadie Run (A) as my first ability, since people hate SAW so much and the enemy team will most likely gank you lvl 1. After you clear the first wave rotate to the shop to help out your jungler, buy a Weapon Blade if you have vision on the enemy's shop bush. Saw is and will peobably always be the best pushing hero in the game. If you play it right and the enemy laner is foolish enough to try and trade with you early, you can take the turret down as early as 3 minutes. But remember one thing in teamfights, their jungler and roamer will try to Atlas you all the time, so be prepared for that and practice using Reflex Block on Atlas Pauldron as much as possible, it can be gamechanging. After you have finished Sorrowblade and boots definitely grab a reflex block even if they don't have much CC, it's probably the most important defensive item. After that continue building more WP, Bonesaw if they have atleast a little bit of armor. Finish Aegis and then buy another Reflex Block ( now you can stack the active of Reflex block ) which is really helpful to have 2 since you can block the Atlas twice or a single Atlas and a really important CC or ultimate like Koshkas's stun or Ringo's Hellfire Brew. After that buy Breaking Point and then upgrade the second Reflex Block into Cruicible if the game takes that long. Remember to always stay infused after the 14 minute mark.
