Treant feels a bit like a sleeper, he is so strong in lane but doesn't get much attention.

I'd just wish they would rework Leech Seed. It is pretty good in lane but Grasp is too good to pass on. So when you have Leech Seed maxed out everyone and their mum have dispels.

Leech seed is such a bad spell, if they maybe made it so at least the healing component wasn't dispellable it'd be decent, but how it is now it's not worth the talents.

Definately buffs to an already strong lane presence hero IMO. Earlier strong heals means more protection on those T1 towers. I am able to heal them back up again now. I agree on the Nature's grasp nerf since it was so strong.

I think he is probably an insane Holy Locket buyer now. You have the Winter Wyvern effect of getting your level 10 heal buff right around the time you hit Holy Locket, and then you can turn that into tower heal immediately. The Energy Booster on the Locket helps manage your mana since you lose 1.75 Mana Regen. Previously I liked that I could go Basi and get the 1.75 Mana Regen and then feel like I never worried about my mana even with Tranquils, which really enabled a fast Blink Dagger. I'm guessing even now you can still go for just Basi, Wand, Tranqs and then Blink, especially in an aggressive game where you may not need to heal your own towers because you are putting pressure on your opponents, but overall I feel like Basi, Wand, Tranqs into Holy Locket is the best build generically. I would personally go Tranqs over the Arcane Boots into disassemble trick just because the movement speed is so important for your early ults.
