Silver Soul worth its price of 2700?

Silver Soul was tested in various of my item builds, mainly with Brine (as he wants to be really fast). Don't get me wrong, Its not bad, but imagine for only 600 minerals more you get a Phantom Menace which adds 27.44% Movement Speed instead of 15% (nearly double the amount)!

 

I often compare Silver Soul with Mosserg Taser:

Mossberg Taser

:MossbergTaser:

Recipe Cost: 825

Total Cost: 2100

Required Items: SapphireMox.pngNullifier.png

 

+300 Energy

+20% Spell Resist

 

[Active] Silence target enemy for 5 seconds. 30 second cooldown.

--------------------------------------------------

Silver Soul

Recipe Cost: 1425

Total Cost: 2700

Required Items: SapphireMox.pngNullifier.png

 

+350 Energy

+20% Spell Resist

 

[unique] Each time you use an ability, you and nearby allies in a 10-unit radius gain +15% Movement Speed for 6 seconds.

--------------------------------------------------

 

Both have Energy and 20% Spell Resist, both have equally good support for your team. But Taser only costs 2100, while SS with 2700 nearly reaches next item level in terms of money.

 

So I think Silver Soul should only cost 2200 minerals or the Movement Speed should be buffed to ~20%!

Keep in mind that the mosberg taser only affect one person while silver soul can effectivly help your allies chase/escape. The buff is not meant only for one person - it is granted for your allies and you should keep that in mind when it comes to judging the item price.

 

Anyway Taser > Silver Soul ALWAYS

 

because ALWAYS a Silence will be more useful than a MS buff, even for chase or scape, keep your enemy silenced is much better.

I would love to see the price decreased to 2200-2500; it would make it more viable on heroes that aren't Brine and Egon.

 

And for them, it would make it a more staple item [which it kinda is already]

 

@Divine:

Really? Gintama is useful on Vergil? Huhhh. I... guess; since Vergil relies on spamming not-cheap spells so the energy will help and it will make him more mobile... eh, I guess it does work.

How would you compare a team-oriented item to a singled targeted item?

 

It works on Hero that has trouble catching up enemy and hero with a small energy pool to begin with.

 

It is also a superior support item; however, sadly, not many players actually build to support their team. It also has to do with the tier 2 item being too easily obtained.

To not be slowed as Leo you should take Parallax Generator! Because that 15% MS you get from Silver Soul is nearly nothing if you get slowed by a FoE and/or a Nitrogen Retrofit:

Leo has 3MS and +10% Aura, Foe -35%, Nitrogen -25%, SS +15%

3 * 1.1 * 0.65 * 0.75 * 1.15 = 1.85 Movement Speed.

The Movement Speed Silver Soul provides here is 0.25, thats in average the difference between most Base Movement Speeds of diverse heroes...
