Three attempts to record a Venomancer win. Three losses. Poison, control, saves, doubles and item decisions were too good to throw away. This is real pub Dota, with team contributions and my own mistakes left in.

I upgraded Urn to Spirit Vessel to cut Necrophos’s healing. When Spirit Breaker charged me, I used Eul’s on myself and our Void finished Necro.
Drow and I took out Tiny first, then Sniper. I backed off after the double kill rather than chasing without a safe way out.
A double kill at their base did not end the game. My buyback was on cooldown when I died; once it returned, I bought back, died again and our Ancient fell.

Final inventory in the third match: the five items above and one Observer/Sentry slot. Aghanim’s Shard was a separate purchase.
I would buy BKB when I need a more reliable window for my own attacks and abilities in a fight. I activate it before the dangerous effects start chaining.
I would cast Lotus before an expected targeted spell and use its dispel as needed. Agreeing on the initiation timing with an ally is especially important.
I would cast Glimmer on whoever needs to survive magic focus fire right now: an ally or myself. Invisibility helps them lose targeting, while the barrier handles part of the magic damage.
I would upgrade boots to Greaves when the team needs health and mana during a group move, and I need a suitable dispel on myself.
I would use Eul for a brief self-save, to remove a dispellable effect or to set up a hit on an enemy after they land.
I would buy Shard for a specific new or upgraded hero ability. First, I read how it changes my plan for fights.
