General DiscussionOK so how do I SF

NotLikeThis

Treads > Mek > BKB > SNY > go whatever u want
Treads > Shadow Blade > Dominator/BKB > Sny > Whatever you want

The kappa pappa build why I play sf:

Euls > Blink > BkB > Octarine Core > Refresher > BoT

Just go the normal human being build
Pt > mek if its not late > sny > bkb > butterfly/eye/ac/satanic/BoT
Sometimes blink is good too

Treads - Wand - Mek - BKB - Butterfly - Skadi - (sell wand) Satanic - BoT

With Butterfly, compel their carry to go with MKB as MKB wouldnt be on his/her item prioritization as other item may had benefitted him/her more. Once he/she starts to build it, make Satanic.

Last 4 games, I played on his account.

You can build him that way in low 2k or 1k, it'll do wonders.

I was messing around and I went full retard for all 4 games, but that's pretty much how you want to build SF in your bracket.

You want to get SB/Travel asap, and just after that balance between farming/helping/tping into fights..

SNy, bkb, Skadi, madness, dominator, daedalus, mkb.. it all depends.. if you snowball and if you can get early on sny with sb/travel(pre 20 min), go for it. Almost always, since they farm slow and you'll be unkillable.

If game goes even, maybe BKB if you need it after travel/SB.. midas is also quite nice in this bracket, since it just gives you more lvls/money, and even more power to rekt them.

SF is actually so good in this bracket.

... but you're sub 3K.

I'm more like sub 4k, but my MMR is irelevant here, I'm legit Shadow Fiend and I've been playing him in both: 1k, 2k, 3k and 4k mmr.

So before you pull out some irelevant shit out of your ass, try not to sound like an idiot.

imagine if treads/phase cud be disassembled for travels. would the money savings break the game for most carries, esp those who love split pushing? Or wud it be irrelevant

Well if I could dissaseble PT/Phase for travels, that'd be nice, ofc, but I doubt it'll be that much of a deal since SF is farming very fast, even in 6.86, and it'll save him few bucks, but that's it.

Like, you either keep treads/phase as much as you can, or you get travels asap, if you have different game plan.
