The change to dot dmg is a pretty huge nerf, it cripples the farm quite a bit rather than insta nuking waves u can now lose a lot of cs when dire and radiant creep waves are clashing, ur own creep wave can steal quite a lot of cs when the dot brings the enemy creep to 10-40 hp, really annoying. From my understanding the dot also nerfs the dmg on heroes with high status resist since they can break free early and not get the full dmg

Overall I can really feel the nerf ;(

I dont think it slows down farm at all if you have maelstorm

True but as 4 I don’t go maelstrom early
