Hey guys tell me what you think about SF, and tell me how you think it will carry the game,The item you like to buy. And lastly disadvantage of this hero. For me, Sf is one of the best carry hero that i like, i always start the game with some basic item and aim for Boots of travel(BOT) for my first item. As i think its important for you to be engage in farming all the time as you're an important role for the game.BOT allow you to teleport(tp) any time to be able to farm, and also with fast movement speed (ms) It allow you to have easier time ganking your enemy. So the item i buy for SF is BOT,BKB(BlackKingBar),MantaStyle,Buriza,Satanic(orb) For my orb it will depend on the situation. Here are some other orb item that i will buy: EOS(eye of skadi) Diffusal Blade(DB) stygian Desolator(Deso) The disadvantage of this hero that i think that it has low base health point.Its too 'paper' during the early game.So thats all i want to say.Whats yours guys :)

SF is really easy to play. He is a DPS hero that has a powerful AoE for his ultimate which makes him deadly in both team fights or 1on1 fights. The 1st thing you would like to determine is your role to the team. You can either be an initiator with your ulti, a DPS carry or a combination of both. Favorite item choices are Lothars or Blink Daggers (for initiating), BKB (for team fights) and DPS items.

my opinion nevermore of shadow fiend is one hero that is difficult to use. especially used by newbie. but if you can play the hero is going to be hero that scary in the early or end of the game.

This is one of the hardest hero to use. However, if you were able to manipulate it, this can be one of the best hero you can use. This is good for creeps and fast farmer. It deals with massive damage as well.

Yeah Shadow Fiend is a very nice dota hero. It harasses enemy on early game. In that way he could get all the kills and gain many golds to build many items. It is also good in farming.

shadow fiend is one of the heroes with the most potential in the game. He is excellent at every stage of the game, early mid and late. And if he falters in the early game his strong mid game allows him to catch up to the rest of the heroes very fast. Definitely one of the strongest heroes in the game and Yaphets only proves that.
