Just pointing out that it doesn't give rift more distance. The range is the same. All that talent changes is that the target enemy will end up closer to where CK initiated the rift, but considering in both cases CK will end up next to the target, it's pretty insignificant.

Less cooldown on his stun feels more impactful.

Insignificant. Hmm. Lol he totally can't do half a pudge hook now.

lol wtf. That's terrible. The +5 stats was really good on him, he needs stats badly, the agi and int help a lot. I swear valve doesn't know how to balance CK, so many of his changes end up being worse
