Dota 2 - The best items for Queen of Pain

Introduction

Queen of Pain is one of the biggest lane dominators in Dota 2. Even though the hero is not that popular nowadays, many people love to play it just so they can assure lane dominance. However, after the laning stage is over, QoP can become really useless unless she gets the right items. Apart from the situations where you will just snowball out of control, you need to make a good decision in terms of what items to get if you want to be successful. So, let's take a look at some of the best items that you can get for Queen of Pain.

Eul's Scepter of Divinity

This is a utility item that many people go for because it's cheap and it gives QoP a few seconds, after which she can use her Blink. However, it doesn't do any damage, which is why you need to think about whether or not you really need it.

Orchid Malevolence 

This is a classic item for every Queen of Pain player because it gives a lot of damage and mana regen. What's more, Orchid also has an active silence, which means that QoP can kill many heroes alone, which will allow her to snowball later on. However, in order for this item to be effective, you have to get it as soon as possible.

Scythe of Vyse

This is one of the best all-round items for every intelligence heroes and QoP is no exception here. Although it's pretty expensive, Scythe of Vyse is well worth it because it brings tremendous value to the game.

Shiva's Guard

One of the biggest issues that QoP has to deal with is the fact that she is really squishy. In order to cope with this issue, the hero can often purchase a Shiva's Guard, which is an item that gives her a lot of armor. This will allow her to soak up some physical damage, although it probably won't be enough to keep her alive against some deadly physical damage carries.

Black King Bar

A well-timed BKB can make all the difference in the world, so definitely put this on your bucket list, especially when you have to play against certain heroes. However, you won't get any intelligence or that much damage off it, so keep that in mind.
