Give the patch a few months or weeks at least for everything to stabilize. Teams need to come up with counter for necrobook, not not expect the nerf from IF and Valve.

The thing is Icefrog kinda made it so there isn't a counter. Can't Midas them, can't dominate them, you can enchant them but that doesn't do much good when there are still 9, you can purge them but if they come early enough the feedback is bad enough you'll be forced back to fountain.

One possible counter is building heart and let the bearer kill the melee summon so the explosion damage won't be so devastating in comparison to his abundant HP. Don't forget the item itself gives quite ineffiecient stats for the cost and if you build multiple necro books your team will be seriously lacking in damage department. Not to mention the item doesn't provide any disable and defesive ability thus making the team extremely vulnerable to a good initiation ensued by a appropriate combo from the other team.

You can farm multiple Necrobooks at the same time, so why not? Right now you have more passive gold than before so the timing doesn't sound so impossble anymore, and it was possible even when you earned less gold. Furthermore, Necrobook 1 doesn't really justify the cost of it so you can capitalize the timing before they upgrade their necrobooks and win some teamfights, further whatever advantage you can squeeze out prior to the death push.
