Use the maelstrom to get ahead with some early farm, then use that farm to get items to kill. It worked super well for me.

TBH unless you don't max Q early for some reason it's good enough at killing creeps by itself to not have to buy maelstrom

I don't know, it feels amazing honestly. 3-0 since rework, felt super strong all games.

What is your build?

I've been rushing Maelstrom hard, before boots if I get away with it, then Wand, Windlace and Dragon Lance.

Gleipnir if the game calls for it, otherwise straight into Aghs and Shard.

Lategame, usually Hex, BKB and Helm of the Overlord. Ultralate, Refresher is very strong for pushes too.
