Yea, treant is pretty... problematic. He's just very meh at the moment.
Also on the topic of morph, linkens sphere is a farming item that most of the time really doesn't fit the style of dota most people play nowadays. If you're heading for an e-blade that needs to be your first real item. If you're not, i'd advice building something like treads into drums, yasha and then diffusal if the purge is needed(Like if you're against a warlock, an omni, a skeleton king, ghost scepters etc.) and if not get your manta and then build appropriate items. E-blade is obviously good if you got a god laning phase and there are enemy heroes you can pop.
Also the ulti is fully skippeable, you don't have to touch it at level 6, you can leave it till you can get level 2 ult and even then you'll mostly just be using it to get back to base or back into lane, it's when it becomes level 3 that it needs to be used to follow your own team whilst you split-push and solo kill people.
And if you're against a hero where Heaven's halberd would be amazing(New HH against anti-mage is great for example) you can turn your yasha into an SnY temporarily. Because the yasha on its own is amazing for morphling and you don't need to rush a manta, but you can just build a HH afterwards. Removes the option of going butterfly though, but it's still worth considering if you're not planning to extend the game past 40~ minutes.
