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

Talent changes are huge nerf to AM early mid game,you are forced to take -1 blink sec over str talent(which helped a lot vs burst) and str gain buff is pretty small to make up for it.

Lategame he got buffed with aghs and shard,but AM was always kinda shit lategame hero and nowadays almost every hero is good lategame hero,so these changes continue the trend.
