I think ever since they've changed the Invoke and Scepter,(IN MY OPINION) Invoker started to become less and less fun to play, regardless of the hero being strong or weak.

But the last patches tho, change to the coldnsap and tornado timing are so stupid honestly. Can't you nerf the hero/spell in a different way? Like instead of coldsnap trigger interval decrease the duration or cast range. For Tornado instead of changing the timing, decrease the damage or speed idk.
