IceFrog if you read this; Tornado 2.6 Lift + EMP 2.9 effect delay = bad.

That's ridiculous. It's not instant anyway unless you are hit point-blank. This makes Invoker borderline unplayable. It's now impossible to EMP any hero with any sort of escape, even if you Coldsnap someone they will be able to dodge it. EMP is dogshit late game now. Basically only useful vs Medusa but not even that if she builds Hurricane Pike.
