So, I tend to play carry heroes with a sucky early game who progressively get stronger. I especially like ones that snowball hard. I was wondering who you thought the best snowballer (basically, the one you think is the best at getting more kills because they just got a kill).
There's heroes that snowball pretty easily, like Huskarl Rove, Templar Ninja, Tumblrsaw, TheJuggernaut*****, Naix Assassin, and Zoos. Being at a disadvantage against them is really a giant pain.
But I think the proper question is who is scariest to allow snowball, and that's where I think pushers with scaling skills, such as K-Awesome Knight, Tiny the Stoned Giant, and Horror Blade dominate. If the game is favorable to them, your chances of winning are really really low and they can smash you pretty quick.
Agreed. A super early Orchid Malevolence allows him to nuke down any foe, and an early BKB makes it so that you can't silence or do **** to him. It's scary, man. I've been both on the giving and the receiving end, and with storm's infinite mobility and huge nukes, enemies can't run from him once he's out of control. This is why he's the ultimate snowballer.
He's not the best but I really like Silencer because when he snowballs he makes the enemy team weaker. He can also transition from early game support to late game carry if he starts snowballing without the need to buy a lot of damage boosting items. Combining intelligence boosting support items like Sheep Stick, Orchid, and Force Staff with a bunch of stolen intelligence means you only need a cheap attack speed booster like Yasha to have DPS on par with a lot of carries, in conjunction with a nearly unlimited mana pool.
I've started games as the ward ***** and without neglecting my support duties have wound up with a base attack of 300 (you don't even need to be the one getting the kills). Admittedly I'm talking about trench where a lot of players only know noob heroes like Sniper, Riki, Drow Ranger, Viper, and Pudge (obviously he takes more skill but he's still in nearly every trench pub), so Silencer's skills will ruin them when they don't realise they need to cast spells or they'll keep taking damage or be disarmed. Which means that I can easily bring down carries with Last Word, followed by Curse of the Silent, combined with my snowballing right click damage (which they never expect to be that high) and any lockdown items I might have - and that's not even including Global Silence.
Favourite thing with Silencer is a freshly dead carry on all chat crying: "I couldn't attack! Report Silencer for hax!"

Cracked me up pretty hard! :D
Also without a doubt storm spirit. Just a silence and bkb and BOOM!
