Plus that new ult sounds redonkulous. Tried centaur in dota1 today. He is truly a centaur WARCHIEF now, he was merely a centaur before the change rofl. Protip: Necrobook is viable on centaur now :D | ||

I know that, I was hoping that the other heroes, which are not AM, get an overhaul as well. Because AM is a **** hero you know. Nobody likes him. Not even the people, who play him regularly. But this "warrunner" ... come on Valve! A simple "Centaur warrior" would've not even sound that odd. | ||

Also, in pubs you'll often find an empty lane or jungle and you can easily farm with wards (just make sure to not plant your wards in the spawn box), so even if you're in 5th position you can easily get a mek and a forcestaff if you're a little map aware. I really like him a lot better than CM (and if you manage to get an agha you really do a LOT of damage) | ||

I just read Centaur wiki, and I remembered the return ability as just Returning Base Damage: 16/18/20/22 For me return was just that, and it was nice already to clear creepwaves for instance. And I see now he got 50% of his str added? I guess I missed it in the patchnotes, or perhaps it was like that for a long time and was changed after I stopped following dota, but this is insane :o That will return easily 75 damage, and on a farmed Centaur could be about 125, this is insane. | ||

The +str damage part is fairly old. So you probably just missed it. #E: Thought it was just one year. seems to be more. | ||

It used to do 12.5/25/37.5/50 before the str bonus, the base amount was lowered to make up for the change. It used to be 10 + an increasing % of your str, up to 50%, and it still got buffed.

Seems like he needs farm since he hurts himself and wants his huge str gain, so can't see him as solo offlane or support - am I wrong? Tranq -->blink --> pipe --> heart? yeah something like that, tranq or phase to blink/jango, not sure how his new ultimate feels though | ||

Gotta save those Return skill points, then level them all up at once when it's too late for him to get away. | ||
