Doom looks good now.

I really think you could think about phase boots on spectre and a different skill build on viper.

The skill build on Viper seems like the standard to me. Mekansm could get situational, but it goes all the way down another line for Viper (as a more tanky kind of guy) which would add double the amount of valid items and thus perhaps more confusing.

1) If you're going to only show 1 way of playing Viper in the guide, the tanky Phase->Drum->Heart or Treads->Mek->Agha are better than this weird squishy build you have. They're closer to being standard at this point than Manta+Crit.

2) Your skill build isn't standard, even for this build. Typically one of the two passives is maxed after getting 3 ranks of Poison Attack because after rank 3 of Poison Attack, the orb has 0 CD and the gain of the last rank is lower than the gain from a rank of one of the other 2 skills. Usually this is Corrosive Skin, but for certain builds, it is appropriate to max Nethertoxin.

I'm looking at Viper and I don't quite know which build to go for as well as his situational and such.

Dear Torte:

Pls change omni guide to involve maxing repel before degen aura. Repel is a useful skill, degen aura is a horrible trap.

Sincerely,
Somebody who got flamed when he asked his omni to max repel and use it on him. "Why don't you just go write a top rated guide then" lol.

Published Omniknight.

Will start systematically separating who needs to be changed, who doesn't and what items to include

Chilling touch didn't change in 1v1 lanes.
Bloodstone/bottle/dust didn't change at all (bottle especially is the same since the cost difference is 2 mins of passive gold change so the same cost basically). Dust isn't recommended on any hero is it?
I dunno what your void build was before but it should probably max timewalk now if it didn't before.
Vanguard didn't improve. Pipe is still good on the same heroes just easier to use. Atos is unchanged. Veil is still good on the same heroes it used to be (Zeus, Jakiro, etc) however now it builds much smoother if those heroes get a null talisman in lane. Disruptor might see play as a solo mid so that hero may need changes. Either way u may wish to change his skill descriptions as they got AOE buffs.

I dunno, there's so much to go over. When are you planning on doing all of this?

Pretty much every hero is going to need to change, there's no point in trying to separate things out.

Especially with the new starting gold actually.

Though some really don't (magnus).

It's more of prioritizing for now as I can't dedicate full days to these guides alone anymore.

This weekend and the evenings of the coming week. But it's definitely a huge undertaking and even my most popular guides are nearly worthless (I can fully change them or I can just create new guides and adapt the popular ones)

If you're going to prioritize, I would say play the game and then do guides for the heroes you get to play. Unless you're playing the hero yourself and using your own understanding, you're not going to get consensus for a cookie-cutter guide from anyone for at least a month or two.

Assuming you know which ones of yours are "popular" aka used, I'd focus on them for obvious reasons.

I know what would be ideal, but I also know that there aren't going to be those taking the safe and slow path of analysis and may release their guides that are entirely false and never maintain them. Also, 1 to 2 months from now; I will definitely be busy with work and our projects.

I would rather push out sure-things or near concrete ideas of what should be changed (especially for ability builds) rather than waiting to a time where I cannot dedicate my full time to it.

About 40 to 60 of them (I'd have to recount) range from a couple thousand subscriptions to over 600k.

I'd rather have the guides invalidated by disagreements and a shifting meta (something I can keep up with periodically) than flat-out shunned for being a full balance patch behind and losing all credibility we've earned together with everyone's expertise.
