Why maxed Thunder Clap first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, and killing on early mid game.

Why maxed Drunken Haze before Drunken Brawler? You need the Drunken Haze more than the Drunkern Brawler because it will give a miss chance to a hero and it will be so good to cast on enemy's carry right before the teamfight, it will reduce enemy's power by a lot.
