A while back (a bit before TI4 I think) I started playing a lot of Necrophos. I think he might have even been Necrolyte back then! Anyway, I always played pretty well with him and today he holds the highest winrate out of my top 10 most played heroes. I've been playing more of him lately since he's gotten so much attention as an "OP hero" and decided to check out how top Necrophos players are building him. Turns out it's pretty much exactly how I have been as well. Adding to that, I always find myself explaining to teammates how to build him more efficiently and giving tips.
So my question is, should I make a guide? I'm always very hesitant to make and publish guides (I have three or four made that I haven't released..) because I'm afraid I'll leave something major out, or that I'm not experienced enough with the hero. But with this one I feel like I pretty much have him grasped. He's bound to be played a lot more considering his winrate is so good right now, and that means new players are going to be reading guides. So should I?
Just a tip in case you do : don't forget Blink Dagger and Refresher Orb, people often forget about how important these items are on necro, they're core items if you ask me. Also Black King Bar situationally, he really needs BKB in some games.
If you play at all differently than described in other guides, then there's no reason not to make a guide on Necrophos. If you mess up, which you can't really mess up big time if your competent with the hero, you can still edit it and since it's your first guide people will probably understand.
Thanks Hamster, those three are definitely included lol. Blink is love, blink is life.
And Ninecent, I don't play Necro in any revolutionary way, I just think I can make a good comprehensive guide for the hero. Others I've read have left major stuff out.
