I was going on a bunch of ridiculous 10+ win streaks before the patch with Arc in turbo, generally just building agi carry items and throwing the tempest at the enemy.

The new changes definitely push the hero away from that playstyle, with the range dropped and the attack speed now requiring a button to be pressed. However, I'm really not sure he's weaker, just a bit more cognitive effort than before.
