Casual My first Rhasta game ever, comments appreciated

Ok, I'll start off by saying I'm not claiming to be a pro as I've only started playing on bnet recently (only pubs up to now). My only concern here is that I need to know how to improve my playstyle. This replay is of the second time I ever picked Rhasta and seeing how I love his playstyle, It'd be nice to know what to do better.

Things I already know I need to work on :

-Last hitting/denying
-Playing less aggressively

Seeing how this was a pub game, it didn't matter much if I took more kills than necessary. Also, what I'd like to know is what concerns my playstyle, not how much this char or that one sucked.

I can say one thing without watching the replay:
Drop the -EM. Non -em pubs already discourage picking support, and picking pure support in -em is the same as saying that sniper is the best hero in-game.

Agreed man, its impossible to play good support in -EM, the AGI carries just rape everything. Haven't watched the replay, but seriously re-consider not playing EM games. THEN you can play a good rhasta.

Ok, I watched your replay and u have a lot of space for improvement, and if u want to improve stop playing -em, u should also think of using Rhasta ulty on just killing someone because in -em u kill towers prety fast with just ulty, maybe geting boots little earlier, ... etc. For the one who just started u play nice, and i am sure u will improve, just dont forget to have fun :-)

You are quite good for that level of play to be honest.
Beside the obvious points you already know, you should pay much more attention to your position. In lane, for exemple, when your last creep die and the waves is coming to attack your tower, you make huge movements until you are far behind the tower, while you could actually have landed the last hit on that red hp creep, or used Shackle on that hero going under the tower.
Or at the end, at like 24 min, Bara used his ultimate on you, and instead of staying near your teamates and your wards, which you already casted, you ran away, ending up alone with him. If Bara would have been a little more farmed, you would have been crushed.

There was some little problems with your items too.
On your first trip back to fountain, you should have got Boots.
Agha isn't important enough to neglect boots, especially considering Rhasta has very slow innate movement speed and need to get up close to cast Shackle, for exemple.
Vanguard was also a very bad idea. It is only for tank heroes, such as Centaur or Axe, and loses alot of effectiveness later in the game. If you really want to take it, it should be one of your first big item, if not the first, especially in EM.
