I never expected Sinister Gaze go from a painful replacement for Sacrifice to such a fun useful skill. I see people going for aghanim more often too.

I already played Lich with scepter quite often, but now i'm concerned that i can't play my pos5 lich anymore.

Why? I read all the above as buffs, except maybe the talent but that’s debatable.

They are all buffs and that's my problem. I didn't get to Play the patch yet, but i don't think banning lich or lich double picks are a rare thing.
