No more: Locked heroes Only small amount of heroes available Limited hero pool About as imaginative as the other one, except this one is actually true | ||

Not maxing Hellfire Blast is a huge mistake as you completely lose your ability to be effective early. I've even played him mid a fair amount (either because i was forced or saw a pudge/melee) and while I'm sure you can't solo against a lot of top tier ranged heroes, a bottle really helps him. I also think his new active crit ability is a little underwhelming. Certainly worth taking an early point for it, but really the best aspect is being able to cast it at a range. Lategame I don't think its worth losing your ability to crit. | ||

Phase + Drum + Armlet (then Sange into SnY or Halberd IMO) makes you an absolute beast midgame, capable of ganking and chasing as far as anyone (especially with ur ult up).

Lategame I don't think its worth losing your ability to crit. Its the fact thats its ranged and always 20% that makes it an amazing early and midgame ganking ability, and you only need one point in crit for the full effect, so you can take it without gimping your other valuable skills. Lategame you should just about never use it unless for survival. | ||

Well, you grab it after Armlet, usually. I think I like the idea of phase on him though. Drums is optional, obviously, but I dont have a problem with it. | ||

Drums definitely optional, but seem to help make up for some of his weaknesses (mostly mana/lost attack speed from no treads). I'm a true pub player in that I often will make a sange after armlet, instead of just saving for the BKB ^^ I think SK's niche though is probably when you don't need Naix's rage (and why you don't see him in the comp scene), because SK with armlet and BKB is probably not much more effective than Lifestealer with just armlet. Ideally, you would get double the effectiveness out of raw hp items as you have two lives, and would be using your HP to initiate/tank for the team (maybe with high DPS supports) and spam that stun. | ||
