Ogre Magi stats, abilities and strategy [7.41a]
Uses a touch of luck to amplify his skills
With a chance to multiply the outcome of each spell they cast, a bit of luck is all Ogre Magi needs to burn enemies to cinder, or boost the power of his allies. Of course, luck can be difficult to rely upon...

Strategy
Play in front of your core to make use of your tankiness.
Ignite has a much longer cast range than Fireblast, so cast it first.
Prioritize items that you can Multicast with, such as {scythe-of-vyse}.
Look to Ignite the heroes with {blink-dagger} to keep it canceled continuously.
Look to play in the front and soak up damage alongside your cores if you took the 
strength talent on level 20.
Bloodlust your right click cores prior and during a fight.
With the Learning Curve facet, you have a massive power spike at level 2, which you can use to harass and apply pressure on enemy heroes.
Counter Strategy
Physical damage doesn't do much against Ogre Magi as he has high starting armor. Either ignore him or try to inflict a lot of damage in a short period of time.
Opt for magic resistance items against Ogre Magi
Ogre Magi players tend to go greedy and farm up {hand-of-midas}. Try to mess with their Midas timing - cooldown is 90 seconds
{lotus-orb} is an effective item against Ogre Magi as both of his damaging spells are targetable
Ogre Magi is scary in late game as he's able to Multicast on his items as well. {black-king-bar} is mandatory for cores and even supports should consider buying it
