1. Was the nerf to veno really so harsh that he's no longer a viable pick for 5th position? Just a few months ago I think I saw him at least a few times, now he's never picked.
2. Why isn't bloodseeker a viable semi carry pro level? I get why he's not a very good ganker solo but he has really good stats and the skills to be both a huge single target dps source as well as a superb laner. But the biggest thing should be that if you lose a skirmish against his team he will easily clean house with the leftovers.
On this note, why isn't huskar played at all competitively? He seems to be a pretty strong DPS carry with amazing ganking potential in the late game. I know pub stomper doesn't have to transfer to solid pick in a pro game but still.

Huskar needs to be at low HP to maximize his DPS = really bad thing in pro games. Also no push, no teamfight spells, slow famr speed
|
Can someone tell me how to play Huskar? I only play him when I random him but I have 100% feed rate with him. I know your just supposed to go urn then armlet basically but I just cant seem to get the hang of the particular style you have to play with him. Does anyone have any simple advice for not feeding with Husk?

Veno's biggest practical use in 6.74 was his ability to slow down big pushes. He doesn't have any hard disables or large burst damage. In 6.75+, the game has shifted away from the push-heavy playstyle of 6.73-6.74 into a more gank/teamfight oriented playstyle, so Veno's usefulness has diminished.

What does he offer as a semicarry? He has 2 abilities that only have usefulness for cleanup power, and the other two aren't outstanding teamfight abilities. Being able to vulture kills like that is useful in pubs, less so in coordinated play.

the secret is to be always low hp
by low hp i mean 60%
u boost ur second and third skill max with ult, and u make a looooot of damage just with threads / urn ^^
imagine when u get armlet...
this hero is particular. When u have a good start it will be ok for you all game long

Go mid against Pudge or another melee. Start with three Gauntlets, one point in arrows. Harass the enemy away and then farm a Morbid Mask. Hit level 6/7 with 1 point in arrows, 1 point in heal, 3/4 in passive, 1 in ult, go to sidelane, get a double kill. Buy boots. Go to other sidelane, get a double kill, finish HoD. Get more kills, finish Treads. Get more kills, get better items (Satanic, Armlet, Heart, etc).

Get aghanims and jump a new target every 4 seconds and pretend to be hurdle racer?
But really, he has low range and not that good armor, and must build bkb or be useless.

Does BKB remove the freezing aura from shiva's?

Why do you put items on the bear for LD and put all your eggs in that basket?

Because it's a pretty damn tanky, fast and angry basket. And it has two lives.
(Lategame it's pretty common to shove some items from the bear to LD, especially when it's on cooldown.)

Bear is faster, has lower BAT and can be resummoned and is very tanky compared to LD early on.

1.) What item should Nyx get if the early game didn't go smoothly, barely farm and underleveled? Should I still go for dagon eventhough it wouldn't be effective since the opponents got higher level and better items? or try to rush for hex?
2.) Nyx core item in competitive play?

Because if the bear dies, you don't die. You can put the items on the bear, stand in a safe spot and let the bear do its work. It works exceptionally well with sieging towers and Radiance. Remember that your bear doesn't need to attack to use the radiance burn, this leads to safe splitpushing.

Arcane boots are core, his mana pool is rather shitty. It depends on whether you played mid or nyx as a support, nyx is more commonly played as a support. In which case Arcane boots Force Staff I would reccomend as a core, don't forget to always get a wand or a stick though.

People prefer supports with hard disables these days, and preferably aoe. And the changes to picks bans usually leaves support unbanned, so people just pick out high tier support.
And gale won't help much against a nightstalker, dark seer, ta with phase, even bh.
He might make a comeback if people keep picking sf mid.

had a great game today with phantom lancer , with a new build , going diffusal -> Heart of Tarrasque -> Armlet of Mordiggian. The damage and tankiness the illusions had with permanently activated armlet was insane. is this viable or am i missing something?

Everything's viable in pubs. Making the Illus super tanky and burn mana is a way to go with PL for sure.

The armlet seems a bit redundant after the heart but if you swapped those two around it could be a build that is really effective in the midgame and also transitions pretty well to late game, I might try it out =D

well , the trick is that you never have to switch the armlet off because Hearts regeneration is greater than armlets drain. i think your too squishy to use it before heart. but try it out. The illusion army all with purple glowing bracers sure looks intimidating ^^

What is the Bear's BAT? Lone Druid has 1.5 in true form and I thought the bear was 1.7.
