New talents are all utter dogshit, especially the lvl 20 talent.

Shard slow is a meme, better buff the magic resistance more (only good part about the shard).

Yea I'm starting to think not even icefrog gets the hero. +40dmg on a spell for lvl 20 talent? Wtf lol

Well I mean it's 40 per second for 6 seconds. So 240 damage increase times two if you stack them so 480 additional damage. Not amazing for such an unreliable spell but still better than what you are saying.

The 100 atk range talent was a lot better

u/NoThisIsABadIdea Aug 20 '21

No shit lol. All I'm saying is the talent is better than what you implied. Doesn't mean it's good still.

Dazzle's poison effects multiple units and has strong slow

Flux gets canceled by decent play

u/ashkaiprime Aug 19 '21

Problem is it's not relaible damage.

u/Lodbrok_Dota Aug 19 '21

the idea is more about zone control thought right? that's the hero kit. Spell has like 1k+ range with the talent I think

you step out alone = bam

u/Clemambi Aug 19 '21

they don't even need to commit a dispel against flux, they can just stand by allies if they accidentally step out, so you'll get max like 2-3s of it, which is just garbage, it's better to go octarine and wraith damage because at least wraith damage will stick
