Hero Discussion: Silencer

I think you needed an attack speed item before though... maybe instead of both Staff and Blink you get a casual Hyperstone or something?

i personally love sliver edge midas on pos 1 silencer. i usually go midas into shadowblade then i finihs silver and go scythe then AC. i find the a/s increase is just enough for early /mid game and with glaives that first hit does stupid damage. the only way core silencer works is if you are able to get him stacks on a regular basis, i like to quantify it like this

4 mins = 1 stack.

heres a pos 2 silencer game that we ran in captains.

Force Staff is great at the mid game.. but at late game i needed blink to followup my team's initiation.

You're right though, i think i could've put an AS item somewhere. Also i was actually considering between OC and Moon Shard in the end. Maybe replace Scythe of Vyse, but it does wonders there. I guess i could sell Force Staff or Rod of Atos in the end.

I had enough damage but it took me a while to kill.

I think one mobility item is enough, maybe AC instead of blink?

Better sell Force Staff i think. You have no idea how i ndd Blink Dagger here. Or maybe i just dont position myself right.

Anyways, where's your game?

Coming, be patient...

Hmm very interesting, that noone mentiones an Orchid. With orchid you have a guaranteed 9 sec silence and a full duration nuke. ALso Imo picking silencer always comes out of the need to silence ppl. for example very mobile cores like am, qop or storm. So that additional silence from Orchid is very strong. So I wouldnt buy a midas on him because he needs early ganks, before everyone has a bkb or linkens. rather rush boots orchid, then do some coordinated ganks to get all you enemys down to 1 int and win the game

Orchid really isnt good on silencer, it sounds like an onvious choice, but hebdoesnt have the mobility needed to use it, and it leaves hij squishy and immobile.
Also hex is plain better, and silencer pretty much always gets it semi early.

Excuse Me, It Was My First Core Item

still, he cant use it that effective since he is slow and squishy, id probably even rather rush hex.
