NeverMore (Shadow Fiend) Guide

[iDasone]

As a keen DotA player for over three years, I have played countless games, pub or IH (inhouse) and it is rather sad that I must now say goodbye to DotA. Now that I’m officially retired from the game, I can finally draw from my experiences and write a more-or-less ‘complete’ guide on Nevermore, my favourite (and to some extent the best) hero of all time. This guide, I believe, will help everyone, from beginners who want to know more about this game to experienced players who are already playing clan wars. This guide will be split into 3 parts (well, actually 4), because it is quite long, but hopefully you’ll get through...but before I start, here's something for those of you who have never seen Nevermore at his finest...or those of you who still think that a 50 minute free-farm Medusa is actually what DotA really is!

Various Tips:

 

    * Take the Mid Solo.

    * For the early game, it's about 75% Farm and 25% Gank.

    * Runewhore as much as you can.

    * Farm a lot for the first 30 minutes, then focus on pushing. Never over farm.

    * Start pushing once you have BKB and preferably Dagger/Lothars on top of Boots of Travel.

    * Dealing massive amounts of AoE damage in teamfights is what you do.

    * Last but not least...Practice Makes Perfect.

Why not on Level 3 Necromancery?

You said it's 75% farm 25% gangs for early game

Necromancery = farm

Shadowraze = gangs

(?)

Shadowraze can be used in farming too.

Also,If you last-hit creeps well and you are experienced doing it you should take Necromastery (Lv2) at level 4 hero,otherwise take it at 4.

 

Secom,why did you copied the introduction of the writer as it is a biographical thingie and it does not have anything to do with you.

/facepalm

considering the first part of your sentence correct.

But if your teamates are not good,your farm does not count in the end.
