Today I want to talk about the new visage. Recent changes made to him are great and make him an excellent carry. For his skill and item build, one can refer to Beast_Pete's guide on the Dota-Allstars Forum (http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=105614). Now let us see how he is against late game heroes Spectre, Bristleback, Centaur Warchief etc.

Visage v. Bristleback:

Teams usually take Bristleback due to his insane late game attack speed and his passive Bristleback which gives him physical and magical damage reduction. Now if a well built Bristleback is against a well built Visage, following things must be observed:

1. Focus-Firing Visage by Bristleback and his teammates means that more healing to Visage's teammates.
2. Damage output of Visage is already great because of soul assumption, Revenants and grave chill(provides him attack speed and reduces opponent's attack speed).
3. This means that it will be very hard to kill Visage as attacking him means boosting his teammates HP. Same is the case with Bristleback, he is also equally hard to kill but he has no such thing like Gravekeeper's Cloak which heals his teammates. Thus on this point Visage has an edge over Bristleback.
4. Without a doubt, Visage is a better farmer than Bristleback.

I think its clear that why I think Visage is an equally good option as bristleback. Visage in many cases is more useful to his teammates than Bristleback. If he is babysitted like Spectre and Bristleback, he will definitely farm a lot faster than them(BB and Spectre).

Visage v. Spectre:
Visage basically has Reverse Dispersion. It will be a tough decision to take when it comes to Spectre v. Visage. Haunt is something that makes Spectre so unique. She can fight with other enemies at the same time when is fighting with Visage. Moreover Spectre is basically a chase down killer. That makes her a better finisher. But we must look into the fact that its harder to kill Visage than to kill Spectre. Also Grave Chill will nullify her chasedown ability if casted at the right time(Self-explanatory).Thus, we observe that Spectre is more offensive than Visage but Spectre's dispersion and dagger will be nullified by Gravekeeper's Cloak and Grave Chill(if used rightyl). In the end we must not forget that Visage is a better farmer than Spectre.

Visage v. Centaur:
Both Visage and Centaur have excellent farming and jungling abilities. Visage takes lead in terms of higher attack speed because of Grave Chill. Centaur is one of the hardest to kill heroes. Centaur has a stun which makes him an excellent ganker. Visage has no such disable. In this case Visage can win only if he farms faster than Centaur which is possible because of the Revenants. If Centaur farms first, then I think there is very bleak hope for Visage's team.

Thus we see that Visage has very good carry potential. I hope that Professional teams look into this fact and start using Visage when the new map (6.52 or 50b) is made official.

Why 1v1? In clan games you play 5v5... Not swearing on internet? It's against my religion.

Another problem is that visage has no disables or escape mechanism and that his imba damage only help when he killed some creeps before joining a team fight. Furthermore he cannot stay long in team fights where no creeps are ( f.e. if the teams fight before rosh or in the jungle. Not swearing on internet? It's against my religion.
