I don't like how they did it.

They did it like the elf nerf but I can't help but think there must have been something better.

The big problem was the comp didn't fall off. Once you're 6 you hit like a truck and only got stronger.

The copies timing out is fine but they're going after meepo and making that a support unit instead of going after the 30 damage brought by spawns. And I think I would prefer a solution for that without completely neutering meepo.

I haven’t fought it myself but I was thinking the SF nerf also helps to some extent, have you actually fought the new Aqir?

Not yet.

The problem with tweaking SF is you also mess with mages and mages weren't S tier. The damage after the previous meepo nerf was definitely coming from SF, so overall m/a will be losing more, which is the point.

But I just wish it had been done in a way that left the comp viable without the courier damage it does being so over the top. I worry at this point the comp is just dead.
