Picking Drow Ranger into a Night Stalker means accepting a huge timer on your game. Once the first night hits, your life becomes incredibly difficult. Night Stalker's superior vision and speed let him find and run at you from angles you can't see coming. His Crippling Fear silences you, preventing a defensive Gust, and his whole purpose is to get on top of heroes who can't man-fight. Drow Ranger needs space to work, but Night Stalker's job is to close that space instantly, leaving you with few options to kite or escape his constant pressure. He can repeatedly hunt you down, starving you of farm and making it almost impossible to position safely in fights.
