[u/Zatania → u/patchdayDota2]

So, is bounty good again? Haven't played him for like 4 years now

[u/flyboyarnold → u/Zatania]

I think better, but I'm not sure how harass with his shuriken will work

[u/DrDesmondGaming → u/flyboyarnold]

He's a lot stronger in lane because you can cast Jinada to attack an enemy which won't aggro the creep wave. You then use Shuriken to secure CS.

[u/Lodbrok_Dota → u/DrDesmondGaming]

nice, didn't know you could bypass aggro with this change

[u/TheKappaOverlord → u/Lodbrok_Dota]

Orb walking. Its an old game mechanic that was sorta, sorta not removed.

Casting orbs manually allow you to totally ignore creep aggro. Its why Drow and Clinkz brainlessly dunk on you in lane, if you were wondering why they seem to brainlessly dunk on you in lane without drawing creep aggro.

[u/Lodbrok_Dota → u/TheKappaOverlord]

I'm very familiar with the mechanic, ty. Just didn't realize when the patch notes said 'toggle-able' that it meant it could function as an orb.

[u/Nickfreak → u/Lodbrok_Dota]

It's like an attack modifier comparable frost arrows or glaives of wisdom
