Dota 2 - Juggernaut Build Guide

BIO
No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks--a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion.
'The fruits of discipline; with practice comes strength.'
INTRODUCTION
Juggernaut is a samurai, he slays enemie with lightning speed.
Although his Stats gain is not so good, he have all abilities that makes him one of the strongest hero in the game. He can be a pusher with his wards that heals lots of HP for allies and creeps who is pushing, he also have the Blade Fury to destroy the crowds in seconds. He can be an invincible carry with his ultimate that makes him cant be attacked while doing his sword Slash. Although his attack speed is not the highest in DotA, he has critical attack to deal tons of damage
ROLE
Melee - Carry - Pusher
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Blade Fury
Causes a bladestorm of destructive force around Juggernaut, rendering him immune to magic and dealing damage to nearby enemy units. Lasts 5 seconds.
Yurnero's renowned katana techniques are feared by warriors and sorcerors alike.
Swirl self and damaging enemies who touch you. Nice DPS skill on early game, very good if there is a friend who can disable the enemy while you do the damage to him. Nice ability to get the firstblood, if the enemy is stunned, just swirl on him and he will likely to be killed by you.
2. Healing Ward
Summons a Healing Ward that heals all nearby allied units, based on their max hit points. The Healing Ward can move at 300 movement speed after being summoned. Lasts 25 seconds.
Of the rituals learned at the Isle of Masks, tending wounds with a bit of voodoo magic has proven to be quite useful.
Very good ability for pushing and for surviving in a teamfight. The regeneration is so fast and you can survive in every battle with this skill. The weakness is the ward can be destroyed and healing will stop. You can make the wards to follow you by right clicking the ward (choose the ward) and then left click on you.
3. Blade Dance
Gives Juggernaut a chance to deal double damage on each attack.
The last remnant of his heritage's commitment to bladework, Yurnero ensures that the style is remembered.
Makes you a decent DPS-er on late game. You will have a very high right click damage with this critical attack. 35% of chance is considering a high chance. With your high attack speed on late game, almost all of your attacks will be a critical atack.
4. Omnislash
Juggernaut leaps towards the target enemy unit with a damaging attack, and then slashes other nearby enemy units, dealing between 175-250 damage per slash. The fewer units available to attack, the more damage those units will take; if a unit is alone, it will take all of the damage. Juggernaut becomes invulnerable while Omnislashing and mini-stuns the first target. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
'The fruits of discipline; with practice comes strength.'
-You get 200 vision while omnishashing.
-This skill can't be blocked by evasion
-If you have high attack speed, you can attack while omnislashing, as well as gives buff
-You can use items while omnislashing
This is your best skill. You can attack the enemy, but they cannot attack you. A perfect attack. But there is a weakness, you can't attack enemy whose:
1. In a ghost form ( use Ghost Scepter, Ethereal Blade, or Pugna's Decrepify)
2. Become invisible
3. Going into fog of war
The less the enemy the better, 1 target is the best. Because if there is just 1 enemy, he will receive all the slashes.

Mid Game
You have 3 options, you and your team decide: gank, push, or farm, you are capable of doing it all.
1. If you choose to gank, use your ultimate and Blade Fury to kill.
You will get advantage of golds and exp if the ganks successful, but you will lose golds, exp, and time if you fail. So if you choose to gank, choose the easiest enemy possible. (Example: Crystal Maiden, Exalor, etc)

It will also gives the map control for your team. (Enemy will lose sight from that tower, and enemy will lose teleport chance by teleport scroll to that tower)
3. If you choose just to farm, then make sure 4 of your teammates is strong enough to handle 4 vs 5 teamfight. And also always bring TP scroll for escaping.
Late Game

After Shashing, and then right click everyone, or use Blade Fury to avoid some magic damage. The key is on your Omnislash, if you do it correctly, Your chance of victory becomes big.
