his range form skill is pretty stupid
the + damage he gets ( like vindis orb ) is not an orb and works when denying creep
and vindicator is 100x better
shadow blade has no AOE farming skill, his attack animation sucks, he has no stun or silence, he can't initiate well, his DPS the first 30 minutes is crap
maliken and dampeer have similar skill sets blink -> aoe nuke -> ult , but they stun and do more magic damage
shadowblades farmin style and team fight effectiveness is like sand wraith, he sucks until he gets steam boots, hotbl mock, where instead of mock, shadowblade goes harkons, since both these heroes have no AOE nuke spell, it takes forever to farm with them, at least sand wraith gets assist gold
This hero is a beast with 6 items, but so is every other hard carry, and those hard carries are more useful on the first 40 minutes
