I think there's a certain mis-attribution going on because I don't think BKB has anything to do with why these heroes are/aren't strong (at least in the case of the one's he cited). Let's not forget that all of these heroes were strong before even with BKB the way it is. Earthshaker was first round ban/pick status for a LONG time in DotA 1, and is only bad in DotA 2 because of the differences in how he plays between the two games. Venomancer was good in DotA 2 (he was picked all the time leading up to and at TI2), and got totally crushed by nerfs in 6.76 (mana cost and damage on rank 1 Venomous Gale got destroyed). | ||

He had a big blog post about it, simillar to his Roshan blog. He talks about the shift from magical damage to physical damage, hence those heroes are rarely picked; he basicly blames the BKB for it. I personally feel like BKB isn't the cause of this, but it adds another reason to not pick those heroes. | ||

Could you give insight about some items or strategies that would need small tweeking to become really powerfull and how theoreticallly that could happen? Like say u drop one of the orb in skadi ( so u drop the price by 2k), makes storm rushing skadi actually viable???? | ||

BKB too strong -> Magic casters are weak. BKB too weak -> Magic casters too strong. I think BKB is fine as it is now. It used to have 9 seconds duration forever and can be sold. | ||
