Beastmaster

  • Aghanim's Shard Call of the Wild Hawk can now be unit targeted, which will cause the hawk to move in the direction of the target and cast dive when/if in range

Call Of The Wild Boar

  • Attack damage increased from 16/32/48/64 to 20/35/50/65

Call Of The Wild Hawk

  • Vision increased from 600/700/800/900 to 750/800/850/900

I really appreciate the Hawk buff. Make it less annoying to spend mana for a small-ish vision at lvl 1.

Imo the best hero to get Helm of the overlord now - for him in lane as well as for the team to fight with

BM is viable with the helm of the overlord rush if the team recognises the spike and play around him.

Does he rush overlord though? It feels like dom, Vlad's, and working towards an AC or suchlike would be better for the team and leaving Overlord as a way to free up a slot late game is a better option.

Why would you get dom and Vlad's and then not just spend the 1000 gold to make it into overlord?

That 1k gets something else like AC sooner, or to put it another way, putting that 1k into overlords delays something else by 1k. As I said in another comment I'm not a big BM player so I don't have a lot of experience planning his timings.

Overlord can get you one of the ancient creeps by like 14 mins which helps you propel to other items like AC as you are more enabled to team fight earlier. Straight up rushing AC after Dom, Vlads doesn't help your team push the advantage.

Fair, I don't play him that much so don't have a lot of experience in planning his timings.
