The additional movespeed coupled with your ult gives him a crazy sudden initiation | ||

In DotA 1, if you could Cyclone yourself before Void Ult, the Cyclone wouldn't time out until the Void ult ended, effectively saving yourself for the duration. EDIT: hmm, it seems like everything that used to pause buff durations no longer does so. Should have expected as much since I knew that Disruption/Astral don't do it anymore, but I figured they might have made exceptions for Void ult. Seems like a net nerf to Void since your bashes no longer get "saved" for the end of Void ult. | ||

Because if so the 'void's bashes now do 2x damage while in chronosphere' was a completely useless change in Dota 1. its just mean that while you get bonus damage, the target will be stunned at the end of the chrono regardless if you bashed or not at the end of it | ||

I'd say this makes Ghost Scepter on Nyx extraordinarily strong against certain heroes, and a must-buy in many games. It essentially negates the downside of Ghost Scepter (enemies do more spell damage to you) and instead turns it into a damage amplification on the reflected damage. Thats the idea I was pretty much going off of. Blink in, stun, Ghost scepter/carapace on. You're pretty much guaranteed a safe initiation, and an even better one should they cast a spell on you. | ||

Ghost Scepter, as I stated. 500 damage amplified by 40% because you would have taken 700 damage with Ghost Scepter active, but you instead reflect it back at KotL. | ||

Never thought i'd see the day where ghost scepter was core as a teamfight item. Edit: I still think blink before Ghost, though. | ||

Dagon is never recommended there as was said so don't be a looney bin and make your teammates rage. http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/e/ee/Nyx_kill_17.mp3 rofl. And ya all NA needs to do is utilizing every one of his ulti, dagon is a plus. Feel so weird when i saw the first ban NA in G league lately, is like i went back in time. | ||

 . Nyx voice actor definitely gets my vote for top 3 of the best voice acting. Perhaps #1 for me.*edit* Wow nice job. I knew he did for other heroe(s), just didn't know which one(s). | ||
