He was also a great limiter back in the days of 4-1, being quite effective against both antimage and spectre, which was a large part of his past popularity
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

SD is overrated in many ways, but he is still the best 1v1 mid hero in the game and a good presence in teamfights. The thing is you put him in mid and whatever he does with it may not impact the game very much (depends on lineups, etc.), but at the same time he may. It takes a bit of effort by him to kill the common mid strength heroes straight up at green health he has to pretty much get good stacks. Other weaknesses are his scaling down, pretty much have to rely on your utility items more and more as the game goes longer and longer, since Poison stacks do less and less, Disruption is in reality not a very good disable, and his 2 other spells are single target long CD spells.

Also if not everybody's even skill level he can shut down games simply because getting your best player get pwned can be dooming.

Navi had a line up that meant one team fight loss mid game and they get a rax and you don't really come back from a rax against Navi.

11-1 no problem

Honestly though, its because Gosu spent the early phase grouped up as 5 everywhere and, while they got kills, they were trading a low amount of kills per minute for towers and tower damage.

That and really Gosu's lineup has no big pushing heroes, against a Prophet Tiny mess

Was definitely super fun to watch lol, when you combine enchant totem with VS's aura and a crystalis, you gotta get that lucky 1500 hit eventually right? haha. Honestly though, I think he could have used arcane boots, he kept running out of mana to use his Ultra or an extra fissure all the time.

So since Shadow Demon is coming out soon, what kind of stuff can his ult dispel? BKB? From what I have heard so far, he is an extremely strong solo mid, continues to be powerful midgame, then drops of late game.

When he first came out, I heard he could dispel bkb, making him this ultimate shadowfiend counter. But he can't, he just slows through bkb.

Some choke spots work, some don't because of pathing differences/slight tree rearrangements.

There's a somewhat old thread about it on dev.dota2, but it doesn't list all the changed spots--just some of them.

oh yeah, i always wanted to ask this

why do you get feast over other skills, say open wounds or rage?

i generally tend to stick to 1 lvl of feast and then get like 3-4 lvls on OW/Rage depending on hero lineup

The slow is the same at all levels of wounds, only cooldown improves making it not all that useful for ganks to level. Rage is easier to justify, but 1 point rage is enough to dodge a stun, which is often all you need to do eay game. Maxing feast means you jungle far faster, rage might potentially make ganks go quicker due to attack speed, but it's a tradeoff that favours the farm, given how hard naix carries.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

what if you want to play jungle naix while occasionally helping out with ganks? i felt the reduced slow reduction amount for each lvl put into open wounds helps out quite a lot in ganks

All you need is the initial slow from Open wounds for jungling, feast just allows you to jungle that much faster.
