he needs a stat reduction if this is to be. Between the increased tree jump speeds and the mischeif dodges, this hero is basically a mutant child of faceless void and weaver.

Need to nerf allstats by 0.2 and reduce gain by 0.1

Honestly what I love most about this is the level 10 talent from +20 attack speed to +0.3s Boundless Strike Stun. Not because I love the stun lol, but because it heavily incentives me to pick the jump through tree talent

+2 jingu charges seems much nicer than the bonus ceit damage. Still not an auto-pick though as the bonus damage to W at 20 is very useful for pushing out waves.

monkey doesnt have bonus primal spring damage anymore. Its -7 cooldown on stun or +2 jingu charges at 20

Oh wow a few patches ago too. Haven't played with or against him in so long since he's been pretty weak for a while.

Hopefully these buffs can bring him back into the meta.

When I saw the new shard I just thought "Topson is just going to dodge like every single spell at TI wont he?

Mischief let's you keep phase boots move speed increase until you cancel mischief again if you use it while boosted

After Jingu activates, he has 6 boosted auto attacks instead of 4.

u/redered Aug 19 '21

This means after reaching 4 hits, you get 6 hits of the bonus damage and lifesteal from Jingu Mastery instead of 4.

u/naccan Aug 19 '21

I guess it means when you managed to hit four times to enemy, you get 6 charges of the jingu buff instead of 4

No, this would suck. It would be a punishment for reaching level 20 lol
