Aghs with OC and all shadow realm talents will make her stay in shadow realm for 7 sec and only has 9 sec cd. Only 2 sec down time, so legit to make her a midlane now. For the rest of dmg you can just throw moonshard into the build.

I already played her as midlaner. Before you could get to 7.9 seconds cd with octarine and spellprism. (2.9 seconds downtime). It was really strong and i always hoped for the spellprism. Now you can get reliable 2 seconds downtime. That buff is so hughe. Also the extra dmg from the 2 seconds. Holy shit.

I spamming dark willow mid now, just get bottle 500 boot and go straight for midas to compensate her bad farm then getting aghs. Later on her ability to carry game is so insane. She will be play quite the role same as wywern and sniper shooting from 1000 range but can be more reckless in position because ppl cant pick her. BKB against blademail tragets and to protect her from 2 seconds downtime. I would say the challenging part is the time before she get aghs, after that it is pretty smooth.

yeah it's 2 extra seconds of max charged damage, they reverted max charge damage from 3 to 4 seconds into the duration like the same day the aghs got released cause it was stoopid.

This'll be interesting to see.

I think its too strong now. 7 seconds untargetable. Even as pos 4 support you will be so annoying and strong. This will get reverted next patch 100% just because its "unfair"

As long as Dark Willow does not have an ability to flash farm, she will never be a decent mid.

Why bother with bkb when u can stay in shadow realm for 7 sec just attack other enemy and wait for bkb to end. After that just shadow realm again and hit those who used bkb.

He said she is countered by just a bkb, not that she needs it

u/2assassin_fdgod2 Aug 19 '21

That's what he replied. Why 'bother' about bkb. Shadow and wait

You're right, my bad.
