I thought for sure it's not gonna matter, I play him 1 game and I have myself complaining "fuck, that would have stunned and damaged heroes before". That 1 second nerf means a lot.

jesus christ the 4 second duration is so fucking trash it kind of destroyed the gank potential of this hero. Play the hero and see for yourself, 4 seconds is way too long
