So his attack speed goes through the roof as a fight progresses? But does that not mean he will be a poor initiator but good to dive in part way through a fight?

He was never really a good initiator 
Means anytime you have a teamfight and all the enemy team get low on health, he can run around faster than sonic and kill everyone.
He is a pretty poor hero still, his ult is countered early game with a TP still.
He will be scary late game if he gets farm though purely because of his race car'ness.
More worried about Axe and his zero cooldown Culling blade if he gets a kill, that will suck in close teamfights.
Not if he rushes a force staff
There seems to be a lot of love for Dazzle on here so I thought I'd just leave this here

That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. There's clearly some things I'm missing from my Dazzle game.
Best game of dota2 ever.
Played nyx on single draft but we lost a player about 30secs in. Won k/d 65/16 me and timbersaw(think that's the name) got over 20 kills each
we would have won but the sniper and shadow daemon players struggled a bit and they had the extra man so we struggled.
We only just lost we had their ancient to 50% when ours died. Loved I and Nyx is sick!

Force staff doesn't cancel TPs.
I think he meant more because a BS with a Forcestaff can force you to take damage from the ultimate as the damage is done by movement
Yeah but it doesn't do that much damage. You can just TP when he runs at you and you'll be fine unless you are super low.
Its only like that at lower level. Once you get into higher level matches they are pretty useless since they don't have much utility.
For example the only one out of those 3 that gets played in competitive is Viper and that isn't very often.
You simply don't allow them to get into that position. If you've let them farm up to that point then yeah it's GG and for good reason.
Pretty much this, if you see someone like drow getting freefarm in a lane, just use a tp with someone else to go up there and contest it, early game drow, sniper and viper are very squishy and a bit of harass can send them running.
Late game vs those heroes is a nightmare if they have farm,, but items like a heavens halberd / ghost scepter can help your survivability enormously.
I quite like Zeus, he's a decent pubstomp hero. You can really screw over your team by stealing kills with his ult if you're greedy and scoreboard obsessed though.
I've played a fair few games where a Zeus has really snowballed from mid and got 20-30 kills, then late game Zeus's team get stomped because their carries have been starved.
