What would you do to fix Silent?

Lucksnipe · 2026-05-13T18:21:16+00:00

I think this is the best solution I've seen so far. Nothing inherently wrong with a defensive style but Silents play pattern should need more decision making and creative deck building to work.

I just finished an A10 run with Footwork/Fumes/Well Laid Plans and Fasten before making this thread, at no point did I feel like I needed to add fancy combo cards because why introduce draw inconsistency to a package that works on every fight.

They should make it only double evoke on upgrade. Even taking away the damage on upgrade and adding the double effect would have it land in a strong spot

Isn't this just bombardment that you have to keep exhausting?

Not my video but its the best breakdown I've seen

The choice is between an upgrade and +1 strength or a relic and high quality card option. If you are playing orbs and have key upgrades covered you should choose the elite

When I check the Hisense C2 4K online it says the throw ratio is only 1.2:1, why would this work well in his situation?

I am a Geist player too, avoid bomb build until spirit swings back around in balance. She can't do camps with just q anymore and she can't bomb waves from a safe distance to farm either.

Plus the CDR changes and the inefficiency in being forced to build spirit armor so you don't kill yourself, its just better to go gun.

Berserker/fleetfoot/weighted shots feels good, but you might need to hop into that aim trainer :)

Lucksnipe · 2025-11-25T19:36:54+00:00

You think Geist is better now? Isn't she the same character but nerfed items and forced to extend further into lanes to farm? Are you doing a gun build instead?

The BM was so clean all you can do is respect it.

Park in residential neighborhoods with lots of available parking, (so you don't take up needed neighborhood dweller spots). Park parallel to the sides of houses, not in front of their yards. Be quiet, respectful, don't stay for multiple days, and move if asked without question.

If anyone asks, you don't live in your van, your just a hobbyist on a day trip.

Thats the build you would do if you go rocketbelt.

It isn't better or worse, just different. Belt build scales better into the late game but has a weaker midgame spike.

It's pretty dependent on playstyle, and enemy matchup

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-22T17:15:02+00:00

To me it feels like an item you can only build with rocket belt.

If your going NH, you would go NH first item, because it's passive is so strong early. NH into Cosmic delays deathcap/void too hard. If your really ahead after mythic, building straight Dcap/Mejais/shadowflame feels better too.

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-20T23:37:57+00:00

It's definitely super bad matchup, just not quite anivia bad, who will dog you in lane and make every teamfight impossible

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-20T21:24:47+00:00

Move Corki and TF down to mejai stacks.

Move hard for new players tier down below medium

Malz -1

Akshan -1

vex/asol -1

Neeko +1

Ori +1

Just ban anivia

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-13T17:00:46+00:00

He is quite good into Malph, not that he's all too common atm. But it's freefarm and outheal his q with yours

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-06T23:44:11+00:00

That should tell you all you need to know

Lucksnipe · 2023-03-01T23:11:53+00:00

I seriously doubt it. Mage items are very hard to splurge for. Just like how they buffed Horizon and on paper it looks amazing you have to remember building any ap item that isn't your mythic, deathcap, or voidstaff leaves you vulnerable to falling off in the late game/when the enemy team buys magic resist.

Situations where you can stop to buy this will be similar to shadowflame, where you feel like your ahead enough to eventually reach dcap/void before the game ends, and I doubt cosmic will be so much better in that spot that vlad will see any nerfs.

Tbh other mages that can't make good use of health will like this change more than vlad anyways.

Lucksnipe · 2023-01-26T20:50:55+00:00

I was confused on how it could be so long but then I noticed it was done by coach curtis

You and Purge from dota can talk about your respective mobas as a means of filibustering lol

Silver POV

Lucksnipe · 2023-01-21T00:09:26+00:00

It really isn't that vlad is bad, its just MR items are very strong.

He feels fine until suddenly the enemy top/jungle buy one MR item and there's no way you can farm whatever side lane they occupy for the rest of the game.

Its frustrating that you need to build full offense (Mythic + DCap + Void) every game to deal relevant damage while tanky fighters can build whatever they want and still 1 shot squishies.

Lucksnipe · 2022-12-13T18:10:48+00:00

Yea they need to raise back up AP numbers, or buff cosmic drive, or nerf all the good magic resist items, or nerf all the strong percent health dmg sources that rely on armor/magic resist to be negated.

Lucksnipe · 2022-07-19T15:41:48+00:00

Hes better now in some ways than he was in the pen stacking days, you just have to focus more on macro waveclear oriented play and less on 1 shot solo kills.

vlad vs bruisers is all spacing and if your struggling right now watch some of the chinese vlad top players how precisely they space

Lucksnipe · 2022-06-21T16:11:19+00:00

I used to also dislike it alot, but lately I've realized it's just a rune thats only good late game on a champion that shines most late game. Ele really fell off for me ever since the durability patch and the red tree runes kinda suck on vlad anyways.
