Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Tidehunter?
Let alone defeat him. And I'm not talking about Heavens's Halberd, Blink Dagger and Refresher Orb Tidehunter.
I'm not talking about Heart Battlefury Mjolnir Tidehunter either.
Hell, I'm not even talking about Abysall Butterfly Dagon Aether Lense Tidehunter with the 20% Spell amp and Bloodrage (with Venga Aura ability and being capable of using both Refresher and Aegis Refresher), equipped with his Shadowblade, a perfect initiation, control of the Mana regen and 50+Health Regen, with Lycan's Howl implanted in him so he has yuge HP boost immortality and can perform anchor smash releasing Gush while being an expert in close range combat and ganking.
I’m also not talking about Aghs Silver Edge Blinkboots Assault Cuirass Heart BKB Tidehunter with the Tether Overcharge (which is capable of Buffing attackspeed, tankiness, hp regen and mana regen), his two original Diffusal Blades (which grant him Agility, speed, essence, intelligence, damage, manaburn, Dispell,and Slow) and a third Necrobook on his forehead, capable of using Melee Warrior, Archer Warrior, 5 Skeletons, 2 Alpha Wolves and even Black Dragon, equipped with his Fireball(capable of using Black King Bar) and a Shuriken because he is a master in melee combat and ganking, a perfect initiation (that can use Yasha n'Sasha ), control of both the fish and the anchor, with Lycan's Howl and face implanted on his chest, his four IO Spirits Clones guarding him and nine Nimbus clouds floating behind him AFTER he absorbed Moonshard from the First Shopkeeper, entered Bloodrage Mode, cast Ravage on everybody and used Silver edge so he can use the Chakra magic while they are under heavy disable.
I'm talking about Broodrage of the three Moonshards Abysal Blade Shadow Blade Legendary Power Treads Tidehunter with the Etherial Blade , Bounty Hunter Shuriken, Mystic Snake, and Assault Cuirass, equipped with his Black King Bar while casting Triple Ravage Topped with Dagon as his weapon, controlling the Gold and Experience Rune, having become the sea hunter after having absorbed Kunkka as well as a Chen's Gods Hand, able to tap into haste rune bottle, wearing the Blademail Armor, with Lycan's Howl implanted in him and having eaten Aghanim's Synth while possessing Double damage powers and having mastered Blink Initiaton.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to play Silencer.
The abilities are extremely demanding, and without a solid grasp of Dota 2 mechanics most of the plays will go over a typical player’s head.
There’s also Nortrom’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his voice lines - his personal philosophy draws heavily from telling people to STFU, for instance.
The Silencer mains understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this hero, to realise that pressing R doesn't just win the team fight - it says something deep about LIFE.
As a consequence people who dislike Silencer (stupid mid mains) truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Nortrom’s existential catchphrase “SILENCE!,” which itself is a cryptic reference to his spells.
I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the sight of minus 2 intelligence unfolds itself on their PC monitor. Silence, fool! My edge grows sharper. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a special silencer build. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 Intelligence points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
