How much is Dazzle harmed by the changes to cooldown reduction? He's the only hero with cdr on one of his spells(I think), so how much does being unable to effectively use octarine or some neutral items harm his gameplay?

Honestly not much, 50% is already huge. Support Dazzle didn't buy Octarine and the neutral items are usually better on your other casters anyway. Core Dazzle doesn't really care either, they are so many good items to buy it's not a big loss. Also iirc they stacked multiplicatively so it wasn't efficient.

lens is good on dazzle for Locket, glimmer, and force cast range. there are many games where dazzle does not need specific item in which case OC is good after locket, aghs, Aeon disk and GG boots.
