Shadow Fiend is the most iconic mid hero of our lovely game of Dota 2. It requires pure skill and understanding of the mid lane mechanics to be a good Shadow Fiend player.
And that is why 1v1 s always gets played in a Shadow Fiend duel.Because mid lane is about last hitting,denying and killing.In a Sf 1v1 if you have more last hits and denies you have more souls and more damage.
And you are the superior player period. Picking Shadow Fiend into team compositions that thrives on mid game is the best time to pick him.
Shadow Blade and 
Hurricane Pike are your core items. 
Black King Bar will be required around %80 of the games and if you are in one of the %20 games 
Linken's Sphere will be your friend.
If you are against heavy physical damage lineups 
Butterfly or 
Assault Cuirass are good pickups.
If you need someone to shut up 
Bloodthorn is good. And if you need pure damage 
Daedalus is good to have for those sweet crits.
Your every game items will be your 
Power Treads, Shadow Blade and Hurricane Pike. Others are situational.
