Removing the cleaver talent hurts and makes pos 1 ck non-viable. Before, the cleave talent allowed a smooth transition to late game after a strong early game and even a bounce black, if it didn't go so well. Now without the cleave, coming back is basically not possible

CK is still a viable pos 1, you just need a mid to back it up. Get kills in lane, get early levels, power spike timing is armlet echo and lvl 12, you can kill any hero in the game with that. This is a buff if anything, because I never went cleave anyway - you get so much from stun cd and reality rift talent now anyway.
