My probem with the OP is that he advises subpar builds as completely viable. I have no problem with screwing around and for instance getting a battlefury on ogre magi and whacking people.

Shadow Blade + Desolator/ Scythe of Vyse is way better. The Nyx Assassin of the new meta.

the only thing is f.e.a.r. ... certain builds your advocating aren't viable in games and not because they don't work for you, i think the nail here, if we were to hit it on the head, (and why there has been a bit of a backlash) is that by advocating these builds new players might read them and think thats how to play those characters, thus ruining games for people that are expecting a treant to support or a veno to support and then when they dont the game is ruined.

the root of the argument isnt that your wrong per say more that your not right...

and when it really gets down to it... its "fear" ...

im now afraid after reading your builds that ill get into a game and ill see a veno and i wont be able to count on them to support

im now afraid that i cant rely on my vengeful to do her job.

this not just ruins my games but by advocating your builds you potentially are ruining new games for new players.

now im all for experimenting sheeeiiit i love a troll build as much as the next and sometimes i find a new idea works wonders but within the heroes set roles, by trying to play them outside those roles you create voids in a teams line up.

so to recap and give a bit of understanding to what i said...


yes those builds may work but please dont advocate them as the best build and certainly don't write a guide for them....

i dont want to play a game and see a nyx with a deadalus

its like seeing your parents have sex .... its just plain wrong

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES
