Because armlet toggle puts you at such low health for a second, it looks really dramatic whether or not there's any real danger. Seeing a hero on 1 health under a grave always looks exciting, even if you know objectively that he's actually got 250 effective health.

Even so, VG's draft was better than I initially thought. Swap is so good when your opposition have no damage vs. BKB. Who should they have picked instead of tiny? Slardar wouldn't have done shit in the lane and would have never recovered because he can't farm. Nightstalker maybe could have worked, but would have encountered the same problems as Slardar. Clock is perfect. Unless I'm stupid and it was banned? Clock works i guess, until he's tracked all game and nobody is afraid of him. It's easy to shit on the tiny pick, but he was doing a lot of work in that game. He had quite a bit of farm and was absolutely pulling his weight despite being in an impossible lane to start. He did next to nothing of importance aside from help Venge get to a good start by being useless in lane. If you saw "next to nothing of importance" then you aren't a very sophisticated dota viewer. Sorry. Tell us all the important things he did.
Doing as much damage as SF while providing all kinds of utility via lotus orb / force staff, items he would have never even dreamed of buying as a clockwork in that particular game.

He paused right before the vacuum went off. Probably thought he had killed Huskar with the last attack.

Literally just called me an "unsophisticated viewer" whilst saying Clock would never dream of buying Force.
OK then.

I'm sure clock would have gotten a force, and 12 deaths to his name. Probably near dead last in net worth as well.
And I called you an unsophisticated viewer because your comment was a laughable observation of the game that took place.

You play Silencer as a core, of course. ^_^

Anyway, here is what OG needed for an offlaner: someone who wasn't going to constantly die in lane - didn't need to risk himself because it's fine to be mostly starved, even in levels. Further, someone who is good at initiation despite not having an item, and also good at counter-initiation, and also good at scouting. Because they did not have this, Venge could rely on kills and Bounty to keep her up in networth (key weakness of VG draft), and also OG had no vision for the constant swaps. Further, because of the importance and lack of proper ways of dealing with the Swaps and other disables, SF had to build tanky - which meant he wasn't doing damage. Tiny doing damage is not actually a particularly good thing - OG already had damaging hereos, they needed an offlaner to allow their cores to build for that and unleash it, not spread out who was doing damage.
There you go, that's an extremely brief semi-drunk analysis. No doubt yours is much deeper, but given that you've literally said there's no way a Clock would dream of building a Force I'm not too fussed.

They were a game up in the upper bracket of a double elimination tournament. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst timing in the world to find out whether or not they can handle OG's dazzle/huskar combo or BDN's meepo. Lesson learnt. They can potentially do it, but they need to respect the huskar's tankiness in the mid-game a bit more.

I agree. That's probably a different game with Silencer as the 1.

Tusk is a pretty broken here and would have been nice but he was not available so. . .

Beastmaster could've fit your criteria, but support rotations would have been necessary to get a decent Blink/Necro timing.
