oh right.
what spell would i be attacking you with though?
unstable current only procs on targeted spells. AOE and effects like splash dont proc it.
the best bet to beat it would be enchantress untouchable, voids backtrack and abbadon ulti

mek is such a try hard build though. just because pros do it, doesnt mean we should.
it relies on your team mates doing their part, lol, which, in pub games is a laughable notion.
in a pub game, i would rather see my viper go for a more conventional carry mid role.
But his stats and skills scale so bad into late.

idk mek first on ranged mid used to be really popular but I thought about sb or manta, my team didn't really want to team fight or anything, and dps was more important.
He still has good slows and damage even in late game, which is why he's a semicarry. With 15 kill midgame I should have been ok as a semicarry...

a mek doesnt scale particularly well either, the point of it on viper, is that he can farm it fast, when the heal can effectively heal 30% of most heroes max hp, same as the old meta of OD getting it, befor the nerf to items not proccing the OD passive was introduced.
for around the same cost, you can get a vanguard, that gives you more regen and damage block, with the same effective HP as you would with a mek, but without the mana cost or having to cast it.
less team orientated, but i still see viper as the best 1v1 early-midgame carry in the game.

On ranged shouldn't you almost always build mek over vanguard?
They are basically the same price, both give 250 hp (though mek does in aura), 4 vs 6 regen, but mek has +5 all stats, and 5 armor and it's regen is aura, vanguard has average 16 damage block for ranged.
I don't think vanguard is a good choice over mek for ranged.
It's pretty average and situational on melee characters too, it's only useful to empty slots, otherwise you would be better off without combining and building poorman's, then saving your orb and ring for hood and heart (or whatever else). Even just getting orb is 250hp, which is really the main part. Poorman + orb will be basically the same in a fight and then you can build the orb in to something that scales better.
