oh its useless against a proper late game carry, but SF isnt much of a late game carry either and vipers passive > SFs soul damage gain.
Viper isnt too bad in the late game, hes just not the best.
I got caught out on my own near the end of the game and regretted not having a BKB.
lost all 3 raxxes while I was down, they wiped my team aswell, when i came back i walked in to their whole team and got an ultra kill 1v4, then solo pushed a tower against megas while my team faffed around, thats not too bad for a late game viper.
late game carry builds are pretty limited, especially for ranged agi heroes, pretty much the standard butter, crits, heart, mkb etc...
viper is a tough hero to build only in that he needs to have the proper mid game items aswell, you cant just build for late game and hope for the best, hes a strong midgame carry so you should build for that isntead and aim to snowball like I did.
aghanims, S&Y/manta, rely on the damage output from your passive to carry you.
