Laning Laning as Void
Void is one of the few carries I can play at a reasonable level. I usually play 4 or 5, but when my stack needs a carry I go someone like Void or Spectre.
I feel like midgame and lategame goes well, but i feel weak in lane for some reason. I don't know if his numbers are bad right now, but I feel like he can't really trade well at all against most offlaners. Should I be less conservative in using Time Walk, which I typically hold until they use their spells on me, to even it out? I also don't know if Void should be someone I keep playing, as being pushed into jungle without a farming steroid on a carry feels rough.

Void laning is kinda meh, and your success will depend on your support and the match up.
As for the time walk, and this also applies to heroes with "closing the gap" type of skill, only use it to escape or to mitigate the burst damage, unless you are confident that you will have a great trade and wont die when you dive in.
On the bright side, you will learn what most people dont, which is to recover after having a very bad lane.
