He's best at attracting all your opponents' attention so that your carry can do their deadly work. He needs to snowball the game, because his power peak is with his first item. A damage item first maximizes the number of heroes in the game he is a threat to. Ghost Scepter's 4 seconds of "invulnerability" isn't even that much more survivability than an Armlet at that point in the game where your base HP pool isn't that big yet and physical damage isn't that high.

So many instances where you jumped on someone but need that auto-attack invulnerability to get a safe kill. And many of those cases 475 HP, 5 armor, and a lot more damage would have gotten you that kill. Incoming autoattack damage isn't that high early game except in the case of a few heroes (e.g. Ursa or heroes with pure damage orbs). | ||

His power peak is, indeed, when nobody has BKB. But I disagree that he needs to snowball. He just needs to keep on forcing people to pay attention to him. It's not until very late in the game that all cores build BKB and all supports build Ghost Scepter. Until that point, he's always capable of doing insane amounts of damage to SOMEONE. As long as that's the case, the other team needs to put a disproportionate amount of focus on Huskar, or else he'll be able to just plain kill people. Again, your issue is that you assume too high a farm priority on Huskar. Ghost Scepter could very well be his first item 10-15 minutes in. | ||

Put him against the opposite carry and have a carry yourself farming the other side lane, be it offensive or safe. He is not a hard carry type hero and doesn't need to be freefarming to be effective anyways. He can't solo off-lane safely, I don't know what you're trying to say. Yes, he can dual off-lane if you 2-1-2, but in terms of farming effectiveness, that's equal to or better than mid if you have a strong dual off-lane that's accomplishing its job of shutting down the carry. | ||

If you play him as a solo offlane against a defensive trilane to try and harass down the enemy carry you're gonna have a bad time. You won't have the levels for berserker's blood to help at all, you don't have the range to get any last hits, you don't have any mobility/survivability spells. Yeah no. | ||
