I can hear you, Plz STFU!



Story
Quote:
Hailing from the magical community of Quel'Thalas, Nortrom is one of the strongest Elven warriors defending the integrity of the lands. Mastering the ancient art of glaive-throwing, and combining it with the volatile nature of the Blood Elves' arcane magic, he is able to disrupt the magical energies in his enemies. By binding his magical powers to his glaive, he is able to cause damage beyond devastation, gaining intelligence from every kill. Concentrating all his energies, he can cause chaos within his enemies' magical pools, making them unable to cast spells. He is determined to fend off the Scourge and their demon magic until he has breathed his last.
I think this is kinda useless .



Introduction
Quote:
The Silencer is among the minority of intelligence heroes who rely on their physical attack to take down enemy heroes. Although Curse of the Silent deals surprisingly good damage to unprepared opponents, the Silencer's real power lies in his Glaives of Wisdom. With powerful intelligence items, the Silencer is capable of easily out-damaging many strength and agility heroes who focus on their physical attacks. Since he needs powerful items to be effective, the Silencer is best utilized by players who enjoy killing a lot of creeps and getting as much gold as possible. Both of his silencing abilities are very useful in combat, especially against enemy spellcasters who like to cast a lot of spells in quick succession. Last Word is an offensive aura which silences enemies after they cast a spell. This will completely ruin the deadly combos of a lot of dangerous spellcasters, making the Silencer an excellent counter to this type of enemy. Global Silence is perhaps his most powerful spell when used at the proper moment. If cast at the beginning of a large battle, this spell can mean the difference between an easy victory and a crushing defeat.

Role
Team Fight! Nortrom is one of the best Team support and which can Handle the battle with just 1 spell, "Ultimate".
Support He also can be support to save heroes, help them kill, and that is the mostly used for Nortrom, as he's weak early game if not used well.
Dps/Carry With Glaives of Wisdom, More INT coming later, More Dmg late game, More Attack speed, More kills, more GG chance.
Ganker Lol ? Need Explaination ?
After All, we'll discuss this later on, Each of that.


Pros and Cons.

  • One of the best Team Support and Gankers

  • Great DPS Abilities

  • Can handle any 'non-tank' hero, really fast!

  • Good AGI and INT gain, for an INT hero

  • Not less than 600 Range

  • Nice Attack Animation

  • Kinda easy to use

  • Good Base Dmg.





When and When not To Pick

Your team is having good tanks to defend you.
Your team needs a good disabler.
Your team faces alot of casters disablers.
Opponent team depends on skills to defeat you.
They're fragile, You're Late Game Team, GG!.




Silence Stuff
For Details about Those stuff, Check this out : Silencer - DotA Hero Details

Curse of the Silent

Keeps decreasing HP/MP till the enemy casts spell or dies, This is one of the best skills to counter casters or low mana pool heroes, for example.. Tinker or SK --> 'Sand king Or Skeleton King'.
If you're facing Di-Heroes, Use it when they're Together to get more benefit, but first check their mana's and see if they would have a chance to cast skills or not. If yes, Throw it, go back, let them use skills, harass them back with Glaives of Wisdom! Tha'd be a good Lane Controlling.


Glaives of Wisdom

Nice attack Animation, Nice Orb Effect, Nice Harass Skill, Nice Epic Skill Late game, as your INT grows, as this epic skills goes stronger, later you'll be auto casting it.
Dmg Type is Pure, means it is reduced by Armor, not my magical resistance or Immunity.


Last Word

This skill has a good AOE '900', Which means you're a Spell-Combo Eater.
You're good vs Sand King Actually, if you view him, he won't be able to stun + Ulti, or vice versa, like ulti + stun, also as Vengeful Spirit, Stun and Ulti is no more combo. Guess what!, Days of Skill Synergies are over!
But for bad luck, when he's silenced, this is disabled
And best thing about it, when an enemy hero die within 950 range, you'll steal 1 INT from him/her.
Also if Enemy casted channeling spell, this skill will also work.


Global Silence AKA Global STFU!

Nice pic, Huh?... Pretty useful Ultimate, Team Fight Battle Side Changer !
Didn't get it ? Ok..
Let's say you're Nortrom, Mortred, Magnus, Magina and Vengeful Spirit.
Vs Tide, Lion, Rhasta, Abandon, and slark... Use ulti --> BOOM GG!
I think you get it now!
It works on Invis Units and Magic Immune too!



Skill Synergies
+
I explained above how to use it, at Curse of silent explanation.
Use CotS for harass, forcing to cast spell, in either ways, your enemy will be losing Mana, with your Glaives, he'll also be losing HP
.

+
Use CotS first, to make him lose hp, because at lvl 4, it reaches 8 sec, and your ultimate will reach 5 sec, means you're 3 sec to trick your enemies and make him not to cast spells.
Imagine it, you use CotS in team fight, and then ultimate, they'll be getting dmg from your team, silenced, and getting dmg from CotS, Pretty GG!

++
Same as above, but you need to wait them to cast weak spells, then rock and roll! Need correct timing!


Skill Build
Ok, here we reached the first important point, and IMO I go two different builds, depends on the picks and how the game goes on.

1.Glaives of Wisdom
2.Stats
3.Stats
4.Glaives of Wisdom
5.Glaives of Wisdom
6.Global Silence
7.Glaives of Wisdom Maxed
8.Last Word
9.Last Word
10.Last Word
11.Global Silence
12.Last Word Maxed
13.Stats
14.Stats
15.Stats
16.Global Silence
17.Curse of the Silence
18.Curse of the Silence
19.Curse of the Silence
20.Curse of the Silence Maxed
21-25.Stats


Explanation : You need stats, Means you'll have more INT, more powerful Glaives, more AGI, faster Glaives, and more STR, little more Survivability.
Though, you take Last word on lvl 8 and max it out, to enhance it with Ultimate, and Max Ultimate whenever possible.
Take Curse later for the Synergies.
