I start wriaths/bot on viper if I'm solo-mid-ing. Then butter if all goes well, or mkb if things are a bit twitchy.

Basically, sort-of like tinker, the bot means ganking all around with ulti/slow and some friends to help. Treads/Vanguard/S&Y are all items that a decent player would never get on viper. When lvl5 hits you're one of the most dangerous heroes in the game, and treads is really not that great since you already have frenzy.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

yes but you dont get frenzy at level 5? it doesnt seem worth it yet, stats or armor seem like a better choice at the early level, mostly because you use all of your mana at 5 orb walking, or at 6 ult/orb walking.

Poison - stats - poison - stats - poison - ult -> who cares -> run around the map, go 15-0, give team advantage and complete map control -> afk -> if they lose, it's their fault.

Hmn, why is sniper never used at higher level play? Is he too fragile? He's probably the best farmer in the game, between headshot for last hits and scatter shot for multiple last hits.

Sniper is a pretty worthless hero, he loses almost every solo lane, certainly every dual lane, and has almost no team oriented abilities.

Don't you think you guys should have won that game a lot faster/easier? You had a dominating early game advantage against a mid game team. I watched the first 40 minutes, and it was getting really sloppy by just about everyone but joker.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Scatter shot is *the* single most worthless skill you can possibly imagine. Don't ever, ever learn it, or think of using it. If by accident you learn this skill, alt Q Q before you can manage to by accident use it too.

No, but you will have frenzy in time so you don't need to opt for treads instead of bot. Bot wins. And also, the armor is better than stats because it gives 5% magic reduction per level, and that's just as useful as the slow/dmg.

But it does do damage to buildings too, so it can be used to last-hit towers. I never play with it but I've seen good players do it. Also, rpf, the only way sniper is useful in team fights is if he hides in the bushes and unloads on the opposing team without them realizing it, which is pretty rare and really hard to do for the sniper. But if that's the case, and he manages to deal damage without being bothered then it's good. Of course that only works if you don't add attk animation items like desolator, life steal, skadi, etc.


...and battle hunger is sometimes useful if you have a hero like bone fletcher or gondar on your lane in low levels as a last-hit-nuke-sort-of thing.

Besides, I bet I can think of a more useless spell, something off one of the 3 elements of the panda perhaps.

The one reason i dont like frenzy low levels (or even mid levels, sometimes even at all) is that one disable and you just opened yourself up for huge amounts of damage intake. unless you are against an all int team (which is lol in its own right, and you probably wont see at high level games often), you will be facing some sort of damage dealer that uses his auto attack to deal his damage. So 1 hex/shackle/stun/whatever with frenzy on, is pretty much you getting raped if you don't have a huge advantage in items.

Well "tt" then you're playing against even bigger noobs than yourself, no offense. Seriously, drop the attitude "it worked for me so it's good". It didn't work for you because it's good, it worked for you 'cause you played noobs that don't know how to fight Viper.

I think someone came up with a great analogy in this or the other topic about "I got BASHERZZZZ with Tiny once and I OMGWTFBBQRAPED everyone, therefore Basherzzzz on Tiny -> teh 1337 itam build loel". This is just the same attitude, the same thing, and it's just wrong like that. Vanguard...christ. No wonder there are so many bad DotAers out there Some guys just never want to learn.
Complete the cycle!
