I'm not as down on Deadeye's rifle as the community as a whole seems to be, but I have problems with this particular build compared to other +1 builds.
"Stay in stealth and tab until someone is low." "When you have 7 stacks of Malice, it's time to act." Are you kidding me? This is basically just letting the rest of the team carry this build. I'd be furious if someone on my team were just sitting on the side in stealth for an entire team fight, waiting for "their moment." Yes, there's a threat to taking 11-19K Rifle 4 out of nowhere into a fight, but that's a lengthy duration into a team fight when a team was fighting a man down. Any other +1 build would have achieved the same results with significantly less set-up. Just because this build can sometimes survive a bit better due to extra stealth (and I say sometimes, berserker amulet thief with Mercy as the only stunbreak really won't hold up any better in many cases regardless of that extra stealth) doesn't mean it's more useful than the other +1 builds. There's almost no functional difference between a +1 build jumping in and dying and a +1 build jumping in and then taking almost a minute to run away and heal in stealth.
To give credit, Rifle 4 untargeted is a decent replacement for Shortbow 5. It doesn't replicate the vertical movement, but covers distance nicely, meaning D/P found good use as an offset.
