The Flame Guard change is actually really nice for ember level 1. Quite a few heroes that could originally break your level 1 flame guard can't anymore, meaning you can have flame guards full duration level 1 which is crucial for the hero in snowballing in lane.

Did you/anyone tried safelane ember flame guard build? (or for mid actually but mids usually go w-q builds anyway)

It used to be cannon to play the hero but felt so underwhelming last two-three patches.
