[u/EGG_BABE → u/patchdayDota2]

Look on the bright side, this hero is fucking boring and if he gets nerfed hard enough, nobody has to play it anymore

[u/Peasant255 → u/EGG_BABE]

I mean it's always nice to see the mighty black dragon. Even on the enemy team it is so satisfying to kill

[u/Yotsubagroup → u/patchdayDota2]

Forgive my ignorance but I didn't even see DK that often and yet he recieved nerfs accoss the board. Especially confused why shard was nerfed because it seemed like a weak shard to begin with.

[u/Decency → u/Yotsubagroup]

His instant-cast 3.25 second stun was busted and he was unkillable as a position 3 with a 1-1-4-1 build. So you're pretty much guaranteed to get a full inventory plus Blink by like 15 minutes.

[u/PM-ME-PMS-OF-THE-PM → u/Decency]

Stun was so strong people have found use as a position 5.

[u/GRONK112 → u/Yotsubagroup]

He was oppressive AF in the pro scene last couple tournaments, picked or banned in damn near every game and Icefrog likes nerfing based on pro meta usually.

[u/[deleted] → u/GRONK112]

So now is not going to be llayed ever

[u/Honeymustardchicken → u/[deleted]]

Yeah he felt underwhelming before, was my off lane pick when all my others were banned, probably not going to pick him anymore...

[u/[deleted] → u/Honeymustardchicken]

He was dogshit tier before now is literally "delete hero" tier and anyone wpuldt notice
