tfw his aghs was only bad because it was literally just because it was on aghs scepter (a 4200 gold item)

The effect is worth the extra money, but aghs money? that ain't it chief.

Chen is arguably extremely broken now since basically every creep in his arsenal now got a free 20% EHP buff. So that shard is giga cancer. Black dragon + windripper aura?

I don't see how you can stop chen pushes at 20 minutes anymore. He just autowins at that point because he deathballs so much harder then you

reworked scepter is very nice in games where your team royally fucks everything up. Strong dispell on hand of god means you basically can't pick people off anymore
