New Drow Ranger

So I have been noticing a lot more Drow Ranger in pubs lately being ganking machines.

First, what is the new item list for DR? I have noticed a lot of Mask of Madness and of course Shadowblade, but are there any other items I should know about?

Second, how does one counter this new DR? Most the games I have been in we have only been able to counter her by just getting out fed by the other members, but she remains a huge threat still. DR was still able to take out 4/5 of the team while attacking the ancient and I want to try and prevent this.

Generally don't let her get fed, disable her and than kill her quickly. This may cause her to get shadow blade as her first major item, as result start getting dust of appearance, resulting basically wasted 3k in gold. If she decides to pop mask of madness throw a disable and you have an extra squishy hero.

Once you get move onto the mid phase put wards in the enemy jungle to gain vision of anyone trying to farm in it. This would allow you to gank her every time she attempts to farm.

Now,with the appearance of Tusk,you can hunt her down in the early level.If you want some more challenge,I recommend Pudge.Usually high burst counters her ***,and containing her early.

You cant counter Dat ***

Shadow blade => Sange => Yasha => Maelstrom => crystalys => Mjollnir => daedalus.
Can go for monkey king bar if you have alot of evasion on enemy's or for butterly if you have autoattackers there. Thats how i like the order to purchase, if i get the farm for it...

Countering Drow is as simple as having a gap closer. Drow is paper and her ultimate will switch off when you are close by, oh and of course the usual disables.

Drow has so much damage potential I do like S&Y on her, despite dislike the item on most heros. The nice combination of HP/Mobility/Stats/Slow seems to fit her well. Of course Maelstrom is a great first/second big item as well as it provides a great increase in farm rate and valuable attack speed (plus turns into Mjollner).

Shadow Blade is gimmicky, sure it can pick apart bad players but do you really need Shadow Blade for that? Anyone semi-competent will be running dust/gem/sentries the moment they see you with it.

Clockwerk. The solution to all squishy problems.

Once you get move onto the mid phase put wards in the enemy jungle to gain vision of anyone trying to farm in it. This would allow you to gank her every time she attempts to farm.

In brief.

* DR above all must be alot of positioning skills. When I play, I try to avoid Shadow Blade doing a good positioning, and if I really need a escape, so I make it.

* When you have an enemy DR, just DO NOT let her do her stuff and pass unseeable. You will get a ton of dmg. If possible too, close the distant with a better positioning or a blink dagger.

In the newest patch, a Skeleton King wall it's just gorgeous. Also a mordigan for fun games lol.
