When your are in 1v1 lane, facing an excellent farmer/denier, who is being too aggressive and careless with his/her hitpoints, then you may want to focus on killing that hero. Doom's best points to kill an enemy hero are at levels 5,6,8 and 9 in a 1v1. This is considering you level at the same rate-if a gap forms, the rules change. Your ability to kill him will grow as both your levels do. At level 5 you are relying on lvl 2 LvLD! At level 6 you are relying on lvl 1 LvLD! +Doom. At levels 8 and 9 you can have strong lvl 3-4 LvLD and Doom to earn fairly easy kills. In 1v1, a kill often means an entire level gained, and that grants great momentum for Doom, as he benefits a lot more from preying on lower leveled characters. You will gain some more gold, decrease his gold, and more importantly decrease his exp and gain your own. While he was in your lane, he was harassing and hindering you from farming. while he is dead, you are free to farm easily with your high base damage last hitting. This will get you more gold than occasional devour. When he comes back, you should be able to kill him again or keep him from safely farming. Eventually he will call his buddies over to help, or leave your lane. Watch the minimap, and farm your heart out while it looks safe. Then go hunt when you have Doom again. You will have huge level gap from solo lane of onslaught, and can kill many heroes easily with your 1-2 spell combo. I max Scorched Earth before stats, because my item selection allows me to utilize and maintain it regularly by the time I am lvl 10-14

Its a gr8 guide, but it fails when the enemy hero is Skeleton King. U know that Doom cannot kill Skel king bcoz of his reincarnation. For all other heros ur strategy works gr8, but pls explain how to kill Skel king as he is one of the most dangerous opponents 1 on 1 with reincarnation, critical strike, Vampiric aura and the stun every 8 seconds.

maybe you can use aegis and diffusal blade. its important to use diffusal blade so that while attacking you burn his mana. so he can't use reincarnation. this will limit his skill.
