Yea lets just rush an 2100 gold item first, seems like a genius idea.


Cause vlads isn't worth 2k right?


Cause vlads has cheap components, that will actually help you early on, unlike blink. And if you get ganked you are fucked

what do you guys think about buffing the ranged stats on stuff like basher/abyssal and stout/vanguard? obv having the same stats as for melee would be dumb, but right now NOBODY buys them on ranged heroes... maybe 15% stun chance instead of 10%? something like that

Except for that 900 gold morbid mask that doesn't nothing because it blocks your orb so it sits in base and is half the components of vlads. Unless you're farming as ursa there is no reason you have to rush a vlads at all. You can make that same argument for every hero in the game. People still rush radiance, bkb and other items that cost almost the same and have almost as big parts. Ursa in most cases will get that farm, so stop acting like he won't. Its like forgoing blink on bat because he's having trouble in lane.

Would be too broken. There's a reason they aren't good on ranged heroes. If they were they would be bought and be too strong. Ranged heroes should not have the advantages that melee do from items such as basher and vanguard. They are suppose to be more fragile, they are not suppose to be able to stun lock you when you can't even get in range of them. There is a reason people pick bashes on ranged heroes in ability draft so quickly, they are just too good on them.

Shoulda put this in my message above, my bad.

That sort of goes against the express purpose of the items.

The whole function of Stout Shield is to help close the gap in laning strength between ranged and melee because of how fundamentally being ranged is such an enormous advantage in lane. That's WHY Melee stout is so much better.

Also, this discussion on Vlad's vs. Blink is stupid. There are games where the correct play is to farm. There are games where the correct play is to go kill people. The item choice corresponds to these, and it's utterly pointless to argue which is better or worse in a vacuum because without the context of a game, both are acceptable first items.

If stout worked on ranged heros same as melee, viper would be a fucking nightmare in lane

Just bottle crow/take runes and you'll be fine. If you think you are about to die or out of position, try to TP back to base instead of trying to escape by running. The chances of him solo killing you are quite small.
With that said, yes, he is a good laner, but definetly not one of the best imho.

Can't you say the same about OD? Except for the TPing part, just bottle crow and take runes against the guy then it's all good?

Being able to not die is not the same as being able to lane well against something.

Viper is definitely one of the strongest laners. Every one of his skills contributes so much to his laning strength. I don't see how anyone can argue otherwise.
