that needs a nsfw tag
i mean come on!
Just played a game where everyone on the opposing team had between 150 and 350 wins and they were a full 5 stack (with matching names to boot) versus our team who's wins ranged from 7-69.
Matchmaking system hard at work there.
kudos to OH LONG JOHNSON.
I have a friend who swears on Shadow Blade with heroes like Viiper and Drow. I personally feel like SB is pretty subpar. I often here mention about a tanky build Viper.
What sort of items would be preferred for that on him?
Why am I so good at this game?
Some dude was talking mad mess about my skillz, and then I destroyed the entire enemy team.
Am at the point now where even in the games I lose I at least still have a positive K/D ratio.
....tank items.
Vanguard, Hood, Butterfly, Manta Style, Assault Cuirass, Shiva's Guard, Heart of Torrasque, BKB are all items that work well on Viper. He naturally deals his damage the longer the fight extends with his 2 passives, so the longer he can stick around with his annoying as fuck ultimate and Orb, the better.
Shadow Blade on Viper? I'm no expert, but I'd say no on that.
Why is shadow blade so bad? It's not that expensive and gives a nice escape tool for heroes that don't have any.
It's a nice escape tool if the enemy team isn't smart enough to buy dust.
Spending 3k on an item that get's countered by something that costs 180 gold is not effective usage of gold.Why is shadow blade so bad? It's not that expensive and gives a nice escape tool for heroes that don't have any.

shadow blade is a terrible item in general
Any heroes that requires them (sniper, drow) are terrible heroes.
So, it's good in 90% of pub matches, where people don't even want to spend money on oberver wards, let alone smoke, dust, sentry wards or gems?
That isn't the point I was making, since in my experience most games will have dust/sentries if someone buys a shadow blade.So, it's good in 90% of pub matches, where people don't even want to spend money on oberver wards, let alone smoke, dust, sentry wards or gems?
Right.
Hm..think we will be seeing more Tinker bans, best anti pusher in the game, fuck his role as pusher. Pick late game carry + Tinker. Would work wonders with a ES instead of this Tide that EG are using.
Hm..
ES, Tinker + 3 carry's win game. New pub meta-game in the workings?
Looks like a sanjay item, or drunk swag, either of those is my guess.

and people who get it on viper and nevermore are just doing it wrong. ( Blink >>> Shadowblade, not for viper ofc just get tanky items)
I can understand Battlefury on Windrunner, but Sniper?
