Guys don't hate, Arcane Meka Shiva doom is legit. He's like an alternative Enchantress, especially if you eat Troll, net->kill into skele for pushes. Farming Doom is just an afk machine that don't offer a lot after going out the jungle. I suppose you could try playing him sort like a Bat, get an early blink and then gank ppl and kill them with blink doom. I don't think that would be good because you can't actually stop ppl from escaping.
The real problem of the hero imho is that his solo laning sucks ass and he do nothing in trilanes. He'd need a decent starting int buff so he can gank a little more effectively from the jungle instead of being constantly at 0 mana from devour spam.
If you want to go for a str carry and get to play him alternatively, get Skeleton King.
He is amazing as a support in trilanes early on as nothing can survives 2 secs stun + 2 sec slow + 20% pure hp drain (this is especially good against Cow or Naga with very high hp early on), and then he can easily transition farming the jungle with the aura. He can't, however, stun twice at level2, not even if you get 4 branches, and that is a problem.
I like stun-mortal-stun-stats-stun-ult-stun-aura-max crit-max aura. Stats at 4, and wand early on usually let you stun twice, use mortal once, and then resurrect if you got at least 7 charges on it (not hard) at level 6-7.
I think Fear will pick him soon for EG.
sb añd ñaga have high armor and ms, which leads to high ehp, not base hp at low levels.
