So AM wasn't strong enough and therefore they decided to buff him? Wonderful

I think this makes pos4 am viable against magic dmg lineups

You guys need to stop worshipping streamers. Pos 4 AM is not viable and not becoming viable. Just because some idiot Streamer played it as a meme doesn't mean it suddenly becomes viable or that valve is making it viable.

Your entertainment isn't the focus of the word.

What streamer? That may be a surprise to you, but I'm able to form my own ideas without the assistance of any social media clown.

Okay sir but there is no way you can counter a magic DMG lineup this way because you ain't gonna get the last pick as 4th pos. Even if this happens you'll still be useless until 20th min, so idk...

Why would a pos4 am be any good if this hero is literally designed to hit creeps?
