Hey guys, some quick questions.

I'm only a 1500 PSRish player, my KD is currently <1 even though I ended up over 1.6 during the beta, just because I either went Swift or Soulstealer 90% of my games. I only started learning pyromancer at the end of beta, and I'm currently learning other semicarries.

I was laning against a few melee heroes the other day, and I made some mistakes in my skill order with Soulstealer (I only skilled hands and soulsteal until 9, but I did soulsteal first, as usual)

This was against dev/deadwood. I think these two heroes, I have a harder time last hitting with my normal attack, so I think getting souls earlier in the laning phase should be a secondary concern over keeping them away and staying safe (kinda obvious, now that I think about it, but I'm usually confident enough against most ranged heroes to focus almost solely on getting my soul count high, since I feel I can play agressively against similar PSR players and not worry about dying)

Against deadwood, are there any tactics that can be employed to avoid the grasp+ulti string that just totally owns me in two blows? My little brother thought that maybe if I used power supply, and kept a close eye on the counter, I would know when DW uses grasp (+1 charge), then I know to move out of the way. Still a bit of a guessing game, depending on how he places it, but at least I can actually predict what is about to happen with greater reliability than guessing based on his positioning. The less viable counter I considered is void talisman, but at 1500, it's only really good on SS for that purpose (fighting DW) and the laning phase doesn't necessarily last that much longer than levels 6-9.

Is my thinking remotely reasonable? What kinds of things should I be considering when playing SS mid vs melee?

just rush hp then blink. start out with 2x agi boots 2x gg branch 2x regen items (2x tango or 1x tango 1x hp pot). Rush bottle -> Str treads -> power supply (if you need it for burst regen if they go on you). Then after that go +10 str axe if you really need hp before you get blink then finish up bkb and go an armor item vs deadwood (assault cuirass is a decent choice if you can farm it really fast). But otherwise once you get high levels deadwood loses his strength as most of his moves are phys damage.

In lane, just try to keep harassing them if they go up to wave, try to get cs when you can and i suggest skilling hands over souls since you need the nukes more for cs. If you can get it by 5, you should just clear the wave in 2 waves, that way the opposing lane cannot go on you since they will have no creeps. Be careful getting runes/try to get a lane ward if you think you really need it.

This seems to be the case vs Deadwood, but against dev, I think I'd still have a problem just because if I get dragged in, there's not much I can do. (Though, that means I only need to worry about dodging.) So is the main tool for fighting dev mid a ward on his ramp?

you just keep the lane back at your own ramp by hitting your own creeps and watch out for any animation or sound they make. if you do your job right you are level 5 before them and you can just nuke them out of the lane once and have enough gold advantage to afford a bolstering armband+bottle before they hit level 6, at which point they cant kill you with "just" their 2-skill-combo anymore anyway.

edit: answering the tldr part extra.

harass the shit out of them and they will cry all game long.

against a good devourer you need a ward in mid lane to see him. Level 2 he can kill you with any decent hook near his tower and once he is 3 if you get hooked you will almost always die if he isnt already <half life and you have alot of souls. You need to be a good dodger to live vs devourer since ss has no hp early.

I give advice based on everyone playing their heroes correctly. Not to be blunt, but i dont play 1500 pubs, and most of the advice is still good advice overall for laning anyway.

ps. Pokebunny, you guys go rocked =P

It's not like it was to bad players.
If it makes you feel any better Alv and I are undefeated in 3v5's.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.
