General DiscussionWhen is Shadow Fiend a good pick?

They have a weak support duo that can't gank well, their mid is a weak laner, you need a high burst damage carry that also farms fast and you have Omniknight on your team.

so you pick him once every 100 years?

Or every game in a pub because you know, who cares?

Add me, I can give you some tips about SF if you want.

3.4k MMR at this moment, been on a losing streak recently.

Just to mention, since I'm a little above 3.4k. :)

I love ppl who pick sf, cyz he is deamon and my tiny head has deamons killed gem XD ezy mid ezy deamons

1v1 mid vs tiny?

I bet I'd be able to win you 10/10 times.

every single time ur radiant

not reallt recommending to pick against qop, viper and good ta

other than ez game ez life

tony is hard 2 play mid, YNIT. i can't do it. ;w;

^
It's not hard if you know how to play it.

the low armor makes it difficult to farm when zoned by a ranged hero

When the other team have no stuns.

radiant + no jungler + bad roaming supps/strong offlaner/aggressive trilane + mid who isnt ta/strong at level 1-2

Trick question, he is always a good pick.

Pick SF fuck the consequences, learn to live with the consequences, become better sf player, itemize properly, fuck opponents.
No seriously, the itemization is what separates the players. The typical pubber will rush freaking BKB shadow blade and blink, (great items, but not always good). There are so many good builds on him, there's the EUL Blink one, which is great against jugg and void, the greedy ass midas + bots into yasha build, that allows u to have over 9000 gpm (only do it if you know you won't get punished), the fuck you im a man build with mask of madness straight into daedalus.
Manta is underrated on him, one of his weaknesses is getting controlled which is why he needs bkb, but if you can manta dodge, it's a lot better since u'll have dmg + all the cool things that manta gives u.
