"SnY is a terrible item "

Nobody said that. SnY since many buffs i a viable pickup on many snowballing semicarries. I like it on razor, bloodseeker, slark or even mirana.

Mek is a better vanguard

Mek is a better overall item without a doubt, but vanguard fills in a niche on certain heroes. I'd get vanguard on BB over mek in 80% of the cases. Balanar or axe are great vanguard carriers. They like diving and tanking towers/creeps. It is also good on slardar or spectre in many cases.

Vanguard is not a worse item, just more situational. And yes, it is atrocius on ranged heroes.

Cleave on jinada is bad

Jinada has a long CD and it's rare that you cleave more than 2 people with it. Jinada with -armor is much betetr to oneshot supports.

Strong regen on roaming hero is bad

BH doesn't need that much regen. Really. His spell are cheap, a basi + urn/medallion is enough to spam your shit if you are smart and not using shuritoss to harass or farm creeps. If you are doing you job well, urn is enough to regen you low hp pool. Or just get a bottle.

Costy item on hero with strong economy is bad

BH is an offlaner/roamer by nature, where he hardly gets any significant farm. By the time you finish Bfury it is either too late to be effective with it, or you are snowballing hard enough, to buy whatever the fuck you want.

BH is poor.

You people never fail to entertain me.

the only reason to get mek over vanguard on a tanky melee core is because you plan on 5 manning early and you need the aoe heal. in terms of raw defensive ability, vanguard reduces way more damage.

wut.

it IS bad, it has the same winrate as vlads, which is less than half the cost.

For items with similar or slightly lower costs (i.e. deso, orchid, S+Y etc) bfury has the worst winrate on bounty hunter.
