Personally if I were Viper against Razor, I think I could win handily.
#VIPER DOTA 1 PLUS#
Plus I think he has a slightly further attack range. Viper ought to be winning in harass, due to all 4 of his abilities.But I think Viper has a much better chance of doing a solo kill on Razor. Both heroes have decently high kill potential with a support gank.If Viper did not win heavily in last hits and denies, it'd be sad.Viper does have his Poison Attack slow, but so long as Razor gets a bit of a head start toward rune he'd get it. Razor could probably rune control better, in theory, because he can clear the wave just before rune spawn via Plasma Field, plus he has more movement speed.I personally like Bottle for both heroes. Viper could just go Tango + Wraith Band, whereas Razor probably needs Tango + Salve, and then either branches or Slippers of Agility. I think Razor would absolutely need to go Static Link first in order to contest last hits, although Viper going Nethertoxin first makes it a bit more trivial.On the other hand, if Viper blocks better and is closer to his own tower, razor is going to have a really hard time stealing enough damage to stop viper from dominating the early portions of the lane, snowballing into total lane shut down. Razor will show up with boots to the lane, and if Razor blocks his creeps to his tower at level 1, viper is going to miss about 2 waves of last hits from having no damage (can't come to enemy side of river since he'll lose ALL his damage) So what it comes down to is how close viper is to his tower. But if Viper gets his way early, it's hard for any hero to get back into the lane. Viper needs to be as aggressive as possible making easy trades thanks to his skillset, however he is utterly terrible at controlling middle lane for rune control. Viper is a hero with a time limit to be effective in the laning stage. Razor has better lane control from 5 onwards for getting runes, and long ranged harass. I think this matchup is won and lost at the creep block. I can't imagine as long as the skill is somewhat even that Viper wins it unless the Razor is extraordinarily passive (or he gets some floaters at mid). Razor crushes heroes that can't cs via spells, Viper needs to win his lane to have a good time in game. I think this is a bout as much of a mismatch as there is in a midlane. Razor would be aggressor, Viper on the backfoot.They'd both see success in a rotation but Viper is far easier to gank due to his move speed.Razor wins cs easy so long as he is aggressive with links.Wraiths aren't ideal in this matchup, both heroes need the move speed. Viper should get early boots, either in expectation that Razor does, or just to have the move speed if he doesn't.
I really think this is extremely difficult for melee or slow ranged heroes to deal with Razor in a solo matchup, and Viper is especially bad at it.
#VIPER DOTA 1 SKIN#
Viper probably doesn't get corrosive skin as it's usefulness against Razor is questionable, and Razor can really do whatever build so long as he has at least 2 levels in link by level 4. This greatly mitigates Viper's harass damage (for very little mana) and makes Vipers cs impossible. Razor goes boots + tangos, and links Viper every time it's off cooldown. I think it would take a lot more for Viper to win this as a: he's not a great candidate for bottle crowing, b: he can't clear a wave quickly, and c: he has no move speed. Razor easily, so long as he's not an idiot and has a tp scroll for when Viper is 6.
