Yeah I think we melted their face. 
3 good games tonight. The one above was stupid easy. The first 5 stack we played SD and I took Faceless I thought it would be close as they mostly had us ranged and Bios/almost were playing heroes they weren't used too but after a mid point wobble we dominated and I enjoyed nailing them with a good faceless ult!
Last game I wasn't the only one being negative, almost joined me in thinking we were in bother as really they out picked us but we just lanes better. Myself and Bruce (another ocuker who has joined our games, welcome mate!!) as Venge and Faceless got a couple of early kills vs a solo disruptor. After 6 almost dominated mid as BS and Westy/Musty ran a good lane too as Sky/LC. We just dominated all team fights in the end, had a mint score as Venge (which I completely forget) but with Deso and armour reduction was getting double/triple kills all the time and with almost lolling all over anything that moved and a couple of brilliant Chronos we won easy in the end.
Good nights gaming chaps, I'll try getting on tomorrow as after that I have Monday/Tuesday and Thursday away.

Thoughts on what I should have build into the late game on Void.
Was vs a Clockwerk, darkseer, lina, troll and timbersaw.
We got smashed early game but I pulled it back on Void, my farm was decent, Midas just after 7 mins. Landing good Chronospheres appeared to make the difference for us and we started pulling back. So Mid/Late mid game I had.
Aggs, MoM, Mjollnir, Power treads, BKB, Daedalus.
Went Aggs because my ultimate was turning the tide, so I wanted the lower cool down and extended time.
BKB was because clockwerk appeared to be the only hero that was causing problems. He would wait until chrono is down and then hook shot/cogs me in and then turn blade mail on, so I literally had to just stand there and take it.
I guess I could have chose an item instead of bkb if my supports would buy force staffs?

I'd say you were right to get BKB, they have a lot of magic. If you had the spare cash i'd say drop the MoM and go MKB for the Troll. In that lineup I'd have thought the clockwerk would have been the least of your troubles
You 100% needed a BKB in this game.
Void is a pretty bad carry actually if your team doesnt have other heroes to dump damage into your chrono, so that may have been the problem.
Void can only solo carry if you are pretty far ahead as a team anyway.
1st time I have played a game like this. I wanted to find a game that I could play with my Son, and found this a very challenging game, with a steep learning curve. Of course both of us went gung ho, and kindly got our rear ends handed to us! I have decided to concentrate on the support role, and have been using the Crystal Maiden. Would any of you more experienced guy's/gal's have any suggestions for a newbie? Would a support role be more benefit for us as a good starting point?
I don't want to start playing with guy's and get caned for messing up their team, also don't want my Son to be abused either. What would be ideal for a training purpose, where we can get game time without being like fish out of the water? Any help greatly appreciated.
