Having a veno with a quick ultimate lvl 1 2 and 3 is rediculously strong, most people underrate his ultimate because normally he is so lowlevel but if he's on an appropiate level or even higher than his targets it's insane. (Especially because its guaranteed 3+)
New(?) Drow build from M5's Nexus: 1 point in arrows, 1 in silence, rest into stats into max aura first. A bit of utility, sacrificing damage until level 7, seems like an interesting alternative to aura-stats.

Ideally you will want your 2nd position mid more then often either way instead of a 3rd. An 8min meka level 7 Venomancer does have its merits though.
Only because the 3-1-1 dominated DotA 2 metagame pretty much automatically implies your off-laner getting lower farm/farm priority than your solo mid.
This is not always going to be the case in a 2-1-2 game (as many pubs are).

The only way to get an estimate of your mmr is to go to the watch tab and filter the games by your name and by the skill bracket. You can only tell if you are normal/high/very high. I read some where (not sure) that high is top 30% and very high is top 5% but I don't even think this was a reliable source.
As I said I'm not a big fan of veno mid but he is quite strong with early levels. I remember getting soloed by a quick level 11 venomancer with a blink dagger and a gale/ulti combo and thinking many other solo mids couldn't have pulled that off.
I believe people used Veno as a longlane or easylane solo TI1 frequently. Which probably contributed to his 20% (It was ridiculously low) winrate. For HoN players it's incredibly normal to see a solo long lane Veno. Granted the HoN version of Veno was way different but the reasons for soloing them are the same (diving into a wall of plague wards isn't fun for anyone).

Had the feeling something like that was the case, hence the question mark. ^^ Why did it die out?

Have anyone tried jungle doombringer after patch? Tried it today, worked semi okish, only had centaur/ursa spawns for 10 min, but ended up with about 40-50 ck at the 10 min mark and a gank. Pros / cons ? I think if you get armor or troll warlord to eat, you will have an easier time. And how do people like to build him? I tried out bfury - for regen / dmg, into A/C. Then with the boar crit / att. dmg buff, i ended up hitting quite ok and had ok surviability also.

Not enough games to say, but i've been having much more close games since the patch, almost never stomps, dunno why. Maybe people think ganks are more rewarding than they actually are and are losing way too much farm, today a game was a permagankfest from the other team that always roamed in group but in the end they didn't get enough gold and got steamrolled even with ~10 kill advantage.
I've always found it funny how SEA girls hate Dota because it takes away their boyfriends, which I've even heard from some who went to my College in London. I didn't know it was 15 million views and lets make a cheesy song bad, but it's pretty bad apparently.

problem with his ult is that its slow dmg. in most situations the fight is decided shortly after he gets a okish ult off. the remaining dmg is often just useful for keeping them low so they go reg instead of pushing.

I'm Pinoy and I always find Filipino pop culture (soap operas, game shows, music, etc.) embarrassingly bad, but this is amazing LOL.

I devoured what I could depending on the camps for the first 10 min, when I got an alpha wolf my farming speed increased. I had Radiance+Phase Boots+Vanguard+Magic Wand completed in 30min. Eventually I got an Assault Cuirass and we won the game. The gpm was sick, I could even go for a Midas and that would make everything sicker.
