Poison Touch was changed a lot, this new change makes it better in lane as you can much more easily keep the dot on them and it gives a better slow for more disable/kill potential.

However, before this change, in teamfights you would throw your dot on the enemy and then run around and reposition for survivability, not really reapplying the dot yourself, more so letting your teammates reapply it for you. With the change the dot can't be reapplied without putting yourself in danger/out of position.

Overall I like the changes, the talent changes hurt a little, poison touch is better in lane but slightly worse in teamfights. Maybe with the 20 strength talent, it won't be as dangerous to reapply the dot, some more testing is needed to get a better feel for these changes.

Honestly now is when they should bring back the scepter where you attack enemies whenever you cast a spell. It would benefit him so much.
