Drow Ranger with Vlads instead of HoD in General Discussion
Ayaneru   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Currently on a 12 win streak (1 is abandon but we still won. Fuckin black out) with my drow using vlad instead of domi. I was 4-5 before that streak.

    If it works, it's not stupid.

    Your thoughts bout the vlad build drow ranger?

        Just a question... No offense...
        U could go for maybe something better with aquila-domi/MoM (yes costs more but grants 15% lifesteal) y go vlads, u need an orb?? Putting frost arrows to autocast?? Deso?? (Vlad lifesteal is only 10% for ranged) Also i thought there are Utility heroes to carry vlads...

          But why vlads?

            So you don't have to orb walk?

            Not Supp-ort

              So u have a wasted slot and can't upgrade to satanic gj

                it really isnt good u can get wolf/ogre/dark troll/hill priest with hotd and those are way better since u are a stationary pushing hero its essentially a free aura around ur hero

                analytical analizer

                  if it works better for you then im sure its because you arent using ur hotd units properly

                    That might be nice, bcause u can get the lifesteal and drow 1st skill effect. Correct me if im wrong, i think drow ranger 1st skill is attack modify and its not stack with other attack modifier, right?
                    Just my 0.5 cents.

                      Yes... But Lifesteal is used on drow also for creep hitting.. And hitting creeps does not force u to use Frost Arrows...
                      Also in fights u dont cast frost arrows constantly... U cast once every 2-2.5 seconds... About 4-5 Auto attacks

                        Dominator is just too good on her, and it's great mid game, and even better late game due to Satanic.

                        Vlads seems like a fun item on her, just not a very good one sadly.

                          Lifesteal alternate is MoM at best...
                          Also why is this Kiro VHS....

                              But i will definitely build helm of dominator and get that wolf. I dont know how am i vhs i did try this game bfore and stop because i dont like it around 1 year ago when my friend force me to play. Now im back from dota 1. After learning how to buy item with right click.

                                Ohhhh that makes sense

                                  I remember a jugg taunting my Vladimir Build but in the end, we defeated them lol.

                                  Yeah I know HoD is better mainly because:
                                  *get wolf aura.
                                  *stack ancients
                                  *upgradable to Satanic

                                  But vlad early game is a huge help early game for your team. The aura it provide is very helpful.

                                  Satanic for drow is strong but usually its the last item you'll buy. I usually dont consider since buyback late game is more important unless you're prepared to tank some damage which is ineffective since the +60 agi from ulti dont work if enemy hero is around you. Still it help.

                                  I know how to use cold arrow even with HoD with the 'one cold arrow per 2-3 attacks' technique.

                                  Thats why I'm sharing this Vladimirs build for drow because I'm winning coz of this. Its weird coz unorthodox right.

                                  This is usually my buy pattern

                                  When we are ahead (despite having a feeder titan), I usually rush SB before vlads to gank some heroes
