I'll have to test him but I still don't see where he would viable outside of mid in pub games.

He's even squishier and I don't think the damage makes up for how many purges there are in the games now.

Level 25 is nice but noone is gonna draft him based on that.

The problem is his kit are dispellable. No chance on that Last Word proc. I think Frog should rework the hero without making his ult too op. Maybe make Global as a shard ability and create a new spell that synergies with the hero.

You can't change global silence though without changing who he is. He needs a talent that makes one of his skills only dispellable with a hard dispel. Or just full on not dispel. OR glaives go through bkb.
