Nothing beats the joy of being able to play mid lane tusk sometimes....being able because rarely is that lane option available.

dagon kunkka has been working for me except it places such a heavy mental burden on my team, somehow them going 1-6 in 10 minutes is related to me getting a 14 minute dagon. they get so wrapped over me going early dagon they play really badly cuz they think its gg.
theres some 4.5/4.6k player who spams tusks mid and has a 60+% wr over a large sample pool.
i used to run sf safelane and it raped but pubs don't like you doing it and its a battle between som1 lastpicking another carry and killing the lane
mid drow with treads aquilla drums orchid dagger build against storm
carry sf with treads aquilla madness sb skady daedelus
support/carry/offlane mirana with treads drums madness maelstrom bkb
Support slark its extremly good really in few lineups
theres something i theocrafted that i want to try soon , medusa offlane , lion mid
I played a guy once who built faceless void with boots, mom, three daedulus'. It helped that they were stomping so he rushed daedulus and by that time they had rax. He didn't need bkb or mkb or anything to counter us, could freely go more daedulus. I kinda wonder sometimes if that isn't that awful of an idea though on other heroes too:
Sniper - phase boots, mom, daedulus x3?
Troll - phase boots, dominator, daedulus x3?
Jug - same?
Sniper with 2-3 maelstroms seems cool too.
Tiny with shadowblade is fun although not as good as blink or just skipping them for aghs/ac.
Middle Veno is pretty funny. Push enemy outtalane with wards and get a quick Aquila SB and jsut go ham. Then get aghs and veil and their whole team will melt. After that if ur snowballing get Butterfly and Satanic and if not just get Shivas and Sheep/Whatever
fast rapier on sniper who plays with omni on his team always following him, surprisingly viable if early game is good enough
radiance riki
Also Dagon Maiden. If your snowballing getting Blink dagon is so amusing. The rage from unsuspecting PAs, Snipers, Etc when they decide teh Maiden is an easy kill when suddenly W+Q+DAGON and ulti when needed is amazing.

Rush PT and Orb of Venom roaming Void.
I've seen this twice in pubs when the last pick guy randomed Void and decided to do that instead of repicking...somehow it worked in both cases.

You can control 7 creeps at once with lifestealer
Hop inside of one, and if it is dominated it wont die when infest is popped the 2nd time,
You can have 7 centaur stuns, 7 nets & 28 skeletons, 7 war claps from hell bears. The list is virtually endless with the amount of combinations of 7 jungle unit abilities and auras. It is awesome for mega push
Timbersaw with eb
Since every man and his pony now plays jug,slark,troll....
the synergy with your double chakrams makes for easy CUTka too!
phoenix w refresher and agha. ofc weak in this meta vs agi carries - but amusing.
also yolo silencer mom build.
^curiosity skilled the cat
with eblade u pay additional 3300 for not very-needed slowing spell; even atos gives you more
notice that none of your spells excluding whirling death without cutting trees has magical damage and therefore eblade doesnt increase the dmg u deal
notice the sentence before which says jug slark troll meta . the ghost scepter function early on is a nice pick up too
Its not the best item choice but since we are on the topic of funky yet viable builds.
^curiosity skilled the cat
what i mean is that ghost is not funky and very viable, while eblade is funky but not viable :)
Y, omni with mom and mjolnir and crit is nice. Works and is fun.
Rod of atos and phase is good with that.
^^ well if you go ghost scepter and are 6 slotted you might as well upgrade it. it would likely be the last item you should finish, but its still fine to have.
^I don't even....
wut???
if you didn't just get all of those from the other teams fountain then props to you.

Like the dagon kunkka one. Midlane shaker/tusk and etc.
It doesn't have to be op or strong but it has to be on the level of 'it works' so no mom crystal maiden.
