Double-Check:
Lycan (Lane)
Lycan (Jungle) -- Itemization may be in an incorrect order; outdated with how he is played now. Improve Extension Item choices.

Night Stalker -- I don't understand his item build which is geared towards Urn, Drums, Aghs or Vlad's. Consider Hand of Midas?

Earth Spirit (Lane)
Earth Spirit (Middle) -- Very likely outdated itemization.

Sven -- Revise entire build

Whats the point of having 1st lvl of Crippling Fear lvl7 rather than maxing nuke by lvl7? I would rather see value point in Crippling Fear lvl2 or lvl4 or as late as lvl8. For items Blademail seems odd, i dont like it on night stalker. There is also no Drums in guide Night Stalker even tho u just mentioned it? I dont think u should try to get early aghs as mid NS, it feels like u are wasting core position farm for something that doesnt increase ur teams damage output at all.

For Sven i would remove Aghs and HH since u are expecting Sven to be the hard carry, not the utility hero. I would also have Blink as a core rather than situational. Heart is debatable but i think Satanic makes more sense (obviously replace mom with it as a last item)

If u really want to have something in ur situational items (because i just removed Blink HH and Aghs from there XD) u could have SnY and maybe AC there.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

nowadays on Sven I would say hotd blink s&y is core, MoM and armlet are situational, extension should be AC, big crit, abyssal/mkb and satanic

AC sux on sven compared to moonshard
u have a "20 armor to my whole team" button. Even when warcry is down, ur own armor situation with hotd+sny isn't that bad really.
BKB's pretty core at some point.

It depends because there's really 2 ways of playing Sven and it depends on what the teamcomps look like.

There's the "I can blink and blow up everyone and they can't do anything about it" way which is better if your team has ways to help you set up and if the enemy doesn't have a whole lot of stuff to lock you down (e.g. no BKB-piercing disables). For this Moon Shard is good and you tend to prioritize damage items higher in general (earlier Blink, later BKB, earlier Crit, etc.).

Then there's the "I can't do shit by myself against their team but if I'm unkillable my team can win the game" way, which isn't as good but sometimes is necessary when the enemy team has heroes that kind of just fuck you if you try to play the other way (BKB-piercing disables, evasive heroes that buy Skadi, etc.), and you have other heroes on your team that can benefit from your frontlining ability (e.g. a backline mid carry like SF or Ember). AC's better here because pure offensive stat items won't do shit for you till you pass the point where you're unkillable anyway and defensive stats + team buffs is actually what you want here.

Playing Sven in games where you have to play the latter way is awkward in general, but given the high prevalence of heroes that will just fuck you over (e.g. Bane and Wyvern being popular supports), your choice is often either play the 2nd way or don't pick Sven at all.

Yes, Night Stalker needs a rework and potentially an offlane guide.

I would rather have blink as Extension or situational. I don't feel Core is needed at the lower levels. But Sven guide has been outdated for at least a year

Blink on Sven is core if you're going the offensive blow-people-up route, and situational otherwise. If survivability-heavy items are not a priority (Heart, AC, etc.) then there's very few items that actually outperform Blink. Your overall fight mobility is so poor that every little advantage you can eke out matters.

Again, there's two very distinct ways to approach Sven that are good for different games, and they don't really mix well.

I've always wanted to update Sven to a more stable build; away from Mask of Madness, I just haven't actually tried it yet.

MoM is fine, just not really that great after the nerfs. Sven really relied quite heavily on the MS boost.

I would like to think it isn't the "standard" way per se any more.
