Viper

Viper the Netherdrake is a Ranged Carry Hero who can also function as an excellent Ganker and Babysitter due to his slowing auto-attacks and his low cooldown Ultimate. Although ganking is often made easier with Viper's presence, it's often times that sheer item power could reveal Viper's true carry potential. Farming with Viper is relatively easy. However, active participation in ganking is very important before the ganking power wears out (when enemy heroes become more aware / careful as well as their items become better). Orb-walking with Poison Attack also makes Viper very potent in hero harassing and pushing. In the hand of a pro player, Viper can be very deadly.

Viper is one of the few easier heroes to use, encouraging beginners to practice more complex processes and developing game sense. He is recommended for new to intermediate players.
