Because i failed to get Dota 2 b-keys im stuck with this. But i guess it's not a bad thing at all, my gemini usage improved and when i use it nowadays the only time i don't get an immortal kill streak is when SOMEONE kill steals all my kills at the last moment. The new hero shadowblade has an alternate avatar that looks very animeish with a very awkward voice, but i think it needs a nerf, its third skill is too strong.
o.O
What MMR do you play at? Gemini is just OP and genjuro with him is silly; needs nerf bad (but hey so does Ra). Shadowblade seems like a vastly underpowered hero imo. They tried to make a pseudo-morphling and failed. He doesn't excel at anything and is a lack-luster hero (doesn't have the burst, doesn't have the dps and doesn't have the ability to carry late game well enough). All he has going for him is his farming ability (which itself is hindered by how high his spells cost to cast) and his ability to tank. Right now as he is, he fits badly in the HON metagame and doesn't work well with many lineups.
I play seriously at 1700++ but i usually stay at 1500++ for casual matches. My gemini build is stats build. I make sure my wolves are at high HP because the dps in general is already strong, 120 each is still 240 and thats with only ultimate orb. The recommended build nulfire blade and other stuff makes him a strong carry but it doesn't make use of his ultimate. I don't see it getting nerfed soon, as strong as gemini is he's not easy to use. People usually get stuck whether they want to go split build or the single wolf double attack build.
As for shadow blade, trust me when I say, he's OP. If you manage to make sheep stick for it, it's over. The third skill that mimics nortom silencer's blade of wisdom is just too OP. If the enemies use BKB you can switch to Genjuro build which is an easy transition. You can also switch to a tank's build since his first skill adds so much strength that if you manage to use it before getting punched by DW your life won't even get cut to half.

Those two are one of my most common enemies and i hate them so much. Nomad for his critical early harass, scout for being invisible for most of the game.
Yup, I like nomad for rule over almost every hero in early game and for the late game he is a carry. Scout can put their ward in everywhere and can go invisible with movement speed over 400++ too make him almost can never be ganked.
Yup, just secure a blood chalice for him and you can harass to your heart's content.
