Well, since spiked carapace reflects 100% and you never recieve any of the damage, i don't think they synergize as well as you'd imagine. But i haven't tested it.
I'd imagine you'd reflect the first instance of damage with carapace and none with blademail.

late game nightstalker with just treads bkb (optional urn) aghanims and maybe armlet does so much more. ns does great with less items compared to other semicarries

Yeah, I actually had phase, vanguard, aghanims, and BKB. Probably should have skipped the vanguard, but its ok. I went mid against a Invoker and just nuke spammed him, and controlled runes with my bottle. After getting a few items up from farming mid, and killing invoker, I just ganked constantly during the night time. It was so easy, lol. I went 7-1(maybe 8-1) in the first 10-15 minutes just tping back and forth from top to bot. He seems like a massive pub stomper, but maybe I just had a lucky first game.

NS is a hero that you can't really kill at night on your own without major support from 1 or more heroes during early game. So in pubs, where there is no coordination for the most part, it's easy kills.

Also, NS is meant to get dominated in lane and get minimal farm against most heroes mid. If you're actually able to CS well you're most likely going to wreck everyone when the first night comes.

AC, AC, AC.

AC is so crucial lategame. Particularly if you're playing 2nd position for a harder carry, it adds so much not to just your damage, but theirs too.

There's lots of good viable items on NS late game. Heart, and basher is really good because of his incredible attack speed. AC is good but better on other heroes imo if they can get it. You can also even go vlads I guess if your team needs it. Personally, I don't like aghs.

How can you not like good stats coupled with 1800 clear vision. Lmfao.
Also NS is a perfect AC holder, he's hard to take down and his place is in the middle of the fight.

NS doesn't scale well into the late-game though.

Play your best

There rarely are better AC holders though. It doesn't make sense on the majority of 3rd position or lower heroes (don't use the autoattack stats and costs too much gold for them to afford), and by and by and large agility carries can't spare a slot for it over more important items. Only in the case where you'd have a Strength 1st position might they be more sensible AC carriers, but even then there might be other priority items for them, whereas NS is much more flexible with his item choice after he gets BKB.

Not a primary carry, but he scales pretty well, you can still own most of the 3/5 or even 2nd pos (qop/ta) at even/slightly lower farm.

Wow... I can't even count how many I've seen people bash Russians in the general thread. One time someone calls out someone for being American and gets banned?

The stats aren't that great for cost tbh and you don't need all stats. The clear vision is nice, but not always useful.

This reddit thread is hilarious. Its reasons like this why I hate the reddit system, the first few big comments get upvoted and stay at the top so everyone sees that opinion as wrong or right as it may be. All subsequent discussion if it disagrees with the top posts just gets downvoted to all hell.

Dendi even posted giving his side of the story and the first most upvoted comment was some guy straight up insulting the wisp as if Dendi has complete control over his friends.

From reading the thread it seems like OP is bad at the game, cried a lot during the game and dendi's friends got fed up and trolled him. So OP decided to continue crying over at reddit and snowball a hate thread against notable players in pubs. gg.
