Razor how to starve the lightning ?

Half of you didn't even read what Smuggles said.



No. Unstable Current is just going to rape you inside out.

i played against my mate who has a 4.5k mmr as razor and razor is his like ..."Signature" hero.

i tried skywrath and unless i used smoke at night his slow just wrecked me since he could just run away. plus if he ever went on me with no stuns any attack i used slowed me more then him.

next 2 games i went bane.

bit better but still even with both core builds (nightmare-brainsap) (enfeeble-brainsap)

only enfeeble seemed to help the most with one point in night mare. still lost though because he became so tanky.

i then tried someone who i didnt think would work but ....

Pheonix

icarus dive gets you out of it while slowing him if he is close and since you cant be slowed in dive his slow only affects you for a second or two.

fire spirits harass him out of lane more then anything he can do since it stops his L/S and does significant damage.

sun beam is pure damage so the more tank he builds the more damage he takes. plus with my ulti he doesnt have the a/s to deal with it and even though he is 2k mmr above me .... he got wrecked and since i dont rely on right clicks his static link couldnt work.

basically i zoned him out survived what he could do and killed him twice.

Heavy slows are generally the best way to counter Razor, or in general abilities that prevent movement.
Venomancer, Drow Ranger, Bloodseeker, Meepo, Naga Siren, Bane, etc. Anything that can lock him in place not only makes Static Link useless (Razor needs to chase around with his link, and a Razor without link damage is nothing), but it also removes Razor's only escape, high movement speed.
Eye of Skadi on a ranged hero is awesome against him, a pity you can only afford one in the late game though.

If I had to pick a solo mid against him I'd take Drow Ranger. The slow breaks link easily without triggering unstable current, and you can just kite him around.
Queen of Pain is really good too, she can dodge both Static Link AND Plasma Field by just blinking away.

Earth Spirit deserves a mention also because he screws up link completely. Just Geomagnetic Grip any ally who gets linked.

Force Staffing teammates out of link always worked for me. Screw up the link, you screw up Razor.
