Today's review from Andrew Natoli, a DOTA guru from NSW and a regular at all the major DOTA tournaments.
Andrew Natoli:
One of the best overall heroes I think, especially in the early portions of the game is the Venomancer. If you can handle this hero in the right way and with some elite skill you most likely you will get the first blood! Most times.
Ok, first up - Get the boots of speed - V.Important. If you're actually playing 5 v 5, get the boots first and foremost always.
Get a couple of null talismans then you're set.
Skill Wise:
Learn the Poison Sting first, then build Shadow Strike. Do not learn the Plague Ward ok, it sucks.
Poison sting will give you a little edge over your enemies because then your attacks will have extra damage/sec.
What you do is shadow strike the enemy first, then chase him with your powerful attacks while he is slowed, make sure you do this while you're away from the enemy tower or you'll be screwed up badly.
While attacking the creeps, position yourself on the side of the map, so that your enemy can't get close enough to earn the experience. Shadow strike and they will quickly flee, if they don't, kill them quickly.
Once you've earned just enough money buy the power treads, then go for crystalis. Depending on who you're up against, a perseverance is also very useful for Veno. If you've made a good number of kills, most likely all your enemies will be targeting you in a confrontation first.
A dagger of escape will always save you in these situations, very handy. It's also a very sneaky way to cast the poison nova.
Use it to attack from behind into an ongoing battle and blink right where the enemies are then press V to cast the spell. Don't move or else the spell will be broken quickly. With all the more money get the buriza.
Now you're a real killer. remember if anyone casts the freezing field, exorcism, epicenter or chain frost just blink yourself out of the area to be safe. if you still have a lot of money buy a soul booster to increase life and mana.

There are two builds of venomancer and that is a killer and a farmer(pusher). The farmer venomancer uses plague wards because in the new version the cooldown is fast and mana cost is low. You can leave the wards in creep camps or push your way to the first tower in early game. So IMO, plague ward really don't suck that bad. It's how the player use it. Dota is like a game of chess, there is no perfect move because your movement depends on your enemies move.
