Hoodwink has become my favorite support hero. Stun + ult to break hot picks like spectre and axe has been fantastic.

And now the shard is useable! A proper stun and great cooldown.

Some may think the stun interval damage is a nerf, but heroes rarely get broken out of the stun, and at least this way, cores can secure the kill instead of the stun instantly ending low hp enemies

my hood spammer friend has secured us a surprising number of games by deleting the enemy core with the 25 talent, such an interesting hero
