Have to agree with amigosu that this guide is a little short and lacking a lot of detail. There are a ton of other guides with similar item and stat builds that do a much better job than tell you to "full dive" and "get that juicy first blood".
I can't believe this guide has 81% of approval.
1- There's no skill explanation or discussion about skill order.
2- There's no discussion on the item build, other items that you can buy like Bottle for example.
3- It is poorly written.
4- It has just one build.
5- All you say in your text is go for first blood, do last hits and try to own.
6- Viper is good mid solo hero, but he can perform well soloing the sides lane if you team are jungling or have a tri-lane, and he can share a lane to.
7- No discussion when is a good idea to get viper when it is not.
8- Most dota players know what to do when they are owning, but just a few have a backup plan to rise after a bad start.
This is such an awesome build !!! I just randomed him in a AP match and got "stuck" on mid because nobody else wanted it and just followed this guide's build. Didn't even have time to properly read it until after the game. Viper owns ! And I am a n00b, I didn't even dominate my lane or anything like that. Granted the other team was way too n00bish (Ursa laning with only vlads the whole game ?) but still this was the first game in my life I've ever played viper. Pic for proof not for bragging.
Thank you so much !! I would love for you to expand a bit more on how to play him in a side lane or how to aproach teamfights but overall is a great guide for a beginner like myself.
Viper is simply too OP in the mid lane. Uber harass with DoT, blocks salves for like 2 secs. And if the guy is an idiot, he will pop the salve during the DoT. AND u have an amazing 40% slow orb effect which doesnt pull creep aggro. My build is somewhat similar but I get poison atk at lvl 3 then max it. Anyways, gd guide!! +1
