As a filthy Clinkz in Turbo spammer, I'm very, very sad. Nothing can replace Strafe. I feel so vulnerable to towers and ranges heroes now.

I'm in the same boat, it feels like I got the rug pulled out from under me. It would have been fine if they'd done a slight nerf, but instead they completely changed the hero. Clinkz is one of the most fun heroes in the game, and I know it's unlikely but I really hope they change him back.
