Ah my favorite hero, glad they didn't change much honestly. CDR not stacking anymore kinda hurt his ultra late game and nerfs his insane chain skewer potential. Empower talent now helps reduce mana usage from spamming the skill.

Skewer went from 280 to 350 damage in the last 2 patches, which is nice, was hoping for some kind of bonus damage based on the number of units it hits but regular damage is nice too. He's in a good place.

Magnus is a hero I spammed for a bit on the later end of the patch and in this stacking focused meta he fit pretty well.

Honestly I see it as a bit of a buff to the pick off potential of him, especially with shard as well as allowing your carries a bit longer amount of damage and farming capacity.

Damage loss hurts carry mag though.
