Eye of Skadi as replacement for Heart of Tarrasque on meele carries?

I am still pretty new to DotA 2, but I found already something interesting to theory craft. Many guides I see recommon Heart of Tarrasque on meele carries because it offers the most defense. Well, the thing I am missing on meele ad's is a way to hold the enemy near you and Sange and Yasha is for that most of the time not enough. So for this, the idea would be to get Eye of Skadi instead. It offers also a pretty big amount of defense, more attack speed, mana and that awsome passive. So my question is, why not many guides actually feature Eye of Skadi?

Eye of Skadi is EXTREMELY expensive for what your getting. You get a lot of other items that serves whatever purpose for a lot cheaper. The perma-slow may seem nice but it's not not all that great when you have to pay almost 5.7k for stats and a slow.

It's an okay replacement for when you're a hero that needs every stat.

CK can get it, Spectre can get it, Nightstalker can get it.

It's just expensive with a bad buildup and the int is wasted on most melee heros.

Well, for example skeleton king can use the mana because of his high mana cost low cooldown hellfire blast, AS is nice aswell and HP, why not? He also has his ulti. And after he stunned somebody he can stay with them with the permaslow.

Sure you can get it, but wouldn't more armor/higher attack speed boost from AC or HP/tankablilty and damage from Heart be better? It could be viable but there are just better items to get instead of Skadi which is the reason why it is bought so little in games. All you get is a slow that may not even be worth it when you can get other items that help more. It is a decent luxury item on Morph but that is because he can use the raw stats incredibly well due to his morph.

It's okay, but some heroes already have a built in orb (Drow Ranger[[), and others prefer [[Desolater or Mjollnir.

However, the main reason it isn't purchased is that it's just too costly.

So, the conclution: It is a situational item, only get it, if enemies everytime run with very low life away from you.

I'd say Skull Basher is better for that.

I think you should get it when you are an int carry, so you can use the HP, Atk speed, and Damage. Also, since melee heroes have Skull Basher for better CC, this is better for ranged than melee. All int carries are ranged anyway.

There are no int carries that don't have an orb already.

Get it if you want chasing power and more stats.

Umm.. yes there are:
