Thank you, all the games were pretty easy for us, but the most exhausting was the game against Revenge in the grand finals, as we were really sleepy (Finals started at 0:15 AM Moscow time) Thank you, all the games were pretty easy for us, but the most exhausting was the game against Revenge in the grand finals, as we were really sleepy (Finals started at 0:15 AM Moscow time)

Silencer is an excellent hero, he's suitable in any role that your heart desires, on any lane. His second skill lets you harass enemies without aggroing creeps, that is useful when you're in a trilane vs trilane, and you're up against melee or small radius ranged heroes.



3rd skill, - is a strong nuke+disable that works really well against 90% of the heroes. Also he has an excellent ultimate that is useful at all stages of the game, especially during those early game fights.

Because this hero isn't always a viable pick against opponent's draft, and even if he can be a good counter-pick, he is often simply forgotten, or maybe it's because people are lacking experience with the hero.

Silencer is a good pick when it comes to mid-game pushing, and with heroes that have some sort of initiation, heroes such as Storm Spirit + Lifestealer, Clockwerk, Nightstalker, Wisp+1 and many other heroes. After one of those heroes initiate you'd cast your ultimate, so those heroes will have no troubles kill that one target they're after, after that you can continue the fight 5vs4. Silencer counters almost every hero on all stages of the game, as his Global silence works through black king bar.

I don't like Aghanims on silencer (You can get it, if you feel the need to fill an empty slot), I think it's better to get something better for 4200 gold. Aghanim's is a bad item choice because curse of the silent does not do a lot of damage, and one extra second does not affect the battle as much, I personally prefer getting hex instead.

1st skill is very good when your opponents don't have many spells to dispel curse of the silent, or if their spells cost a lot of mana (That works only during laning stage of the game). But I usually max out 1st skill when my game isn't going well, and I won't be able to dish out a lot physical damage. 1st skill is very good when your opponents don't have many spells to dispel curse of the silent, or if their spells cost a lot of mana (That works only during laning stage of the game).

It depends on what trilane I'm up against, but I usually prefer this skill build: It depends on what trilane I'm up against, but I usually prefer this skill build:



If I need to kill someone while they're still level one I level up my 3rd skill, but my 1st skill is being maxed by me if something isn't going as planned. For example, our trilane is doing terrible, and we decided to play defensively 2x3 (third support begins to pull neutrals, while others are hugging the tower) If I need to kill someone while they're still level one I level up my 3rd skill, but my 1st skill is being maxed by me if something isn't going as planned.

If your opponents are really awful and died to you a lot of times, thus gave you a lot of intelligence. If your opponents are really awful and died to you a lot of times, thus gave you a lot of intelligence.



Solo mid silencer; He is not being picked as a solo mid hero as often, because professional teams love to pick mid lane heroes that are hard to gank (or that have some sort of escape) or are generally 'fat', plus we all know that mid lane is the easiest lane to gank, and since silencer is so easy to gank picking him as a solo mid hero is not always a good idea.



Carry silencer; He is not being picked as a carry, because there's no guarantee that silencer will be able to carry as good as Naix or Luna.



Support silencer; I'm playing support silencer because this support is not bounded to a certain lane, and he does not need to dish out a lot of physical damage. All he needs is experience, like every other support out there. Therefore silencer is a very neutral support and most definitely can be used anytime, anywhere.

Silencer without power treads ain't a silencer. I prefer the following item build: Power treads, wards (obs/sentry), magic wand, mekanism (if it's needed)/bracer -> drums (if they are needed), force staff, if the game transitions to late game: Shiva, Hex, Assault cuirass, Heaven's halberd, Necrobook, Orchid, Sange and Yasha Silencer without power treads ain't a silencer.

Pick Silencer more often, he counters that annoying Earth Spirit. Pick Silencer more often, he counters that annoying Earth Spirit.
