That is true, but not entirely true.Īs I have stated, once you reach level 5 where you have 3 levels of Shadowraze, you are able to hide in jungles if your lane is pressured by counterpicks such as Viper. At this point, people will be saying, that’s only possible when you win your lane. Go for that advantage and run at sidelanes, where arguably everyone will have much lower farm and levels compared to you. In high-level games, solo kills rarely happen when both sides are even in terms of gold, XP and matchup. Your primary objective in laning will be to outfarm and outlevel your opponent, while solo-killing him is secondary. What’s even better for Shadow Fiend? Reaching level 5 where we will have 3 levels of Shadowraze, which will allow us to start jungling. After getting souls a few minutes in, you would be able to last hit using normal attack easily and are able to pressure the enemy by denying his creep causing him to be lower level than you in the laning. And we will buy more mangoes after clearing the first wave before queuing into your next item such as Bottle / Wraith Bands.īut do remember that, once you reach level 2 after the first wave, you would be slowly gathering souls and increasing your damage. To overcome that issue, our starting item will consist of two mangoes (Some would prefer three). Most of you would be thinking, once I used most of my mana to get last hits, wouldn’t I be pressured by the enemy? The answer is yes. Also this hero can help alot in Rank callibration Even if he loses the laning phase against unfavourable matchups or games where he consistently gets ganked by enemy supports. where specific matchups can easily burst him to death or any support rotation might send him flying, but his ability to clear the jungle creeps once he reaches level 7 (maximizing skill Shadowraze) allows him to catch up. Although most people consider Shadow Fiend one of the squishiest heroes in the early game. Not only did his raze received an important buff (debuff stacks) a long time ago, his Shadowraze’s manacost was recently buffed. Shadow Fiend is one of the strongest heroes in laning if you understand the hero well. His primary downside is that he is squishy and has no natural escape mechanism. Shadow Fiend is decent in the sense that he is versatile, clears waves quickly, can jungle, can gank with runes, can play both physical and magical damage builds etc. While not necessarily comparable to meta winners like Broodmother, Clinkz and arguably Templar Assassin. Shadow Fiend is in an okay place right now.
