We might see it in niche aura push strat, but I doubt we'll be seeing it for longer than a week or a few games from teams. She has too many fundamental weaknesses IMO. I'd like to here counter arguments though. | ||

BTW his ulti costs 800 mana on a 20 second cooldown (at 16). Thats pretty brutal. Especially since at level 16 his innate mana pool is 1001. OOF. Plus his spammy nuke has a 2 second CD. He feels like he does a lot of damage but doesn't really bring enough to a team. Kinda like a worse zoos although at least he has a silence and an OK slow. All his abilities have nice range at least. | ||

Better laning than Zuues, which is a pretty big deal. I haven't really played with him, but he should be a better solo mid. | ||

If anyone remembers 2009's 1v1 tournament from a couple months back, Skywrath was banned literally every single game of the bracket stage. OD got through several games, as did Bane and Brood, but Skywrath never got let through a single game, IIRC. | ||

(i'm guessing turnspeed slow still 2 stronk, but he can do okay). | ||

Bat can probably kill him at level 2, but he can kill Bat if he gets to level 3 (he can basically kill anyone at level 3 because his burst damage is really stupid--3 Arcane Bolts + Concussive Shot is like 480 magical damage + autoattacks). | ||

Is arcane bolt dodge-able, or is it like necro's death pulse? | ||

He's also in that "almost perma-ban" class of mid heroes in tournament 1v1. Bane, Bat, Brood, Bear, OD, SD, Skywrath--90% of the time 6/7 of these comprise 1v1 tournament bans. | ||

He's pretty damn strong in this format. Especially given the rules and format of 1v1 tournaments, it's not like he has to scale into some huge late game carry. SD is VERY strong 1v1 hero. | ||

The problem with SD mid is that his midgame teamfighting power is basically the exact same as support SD (Disruption, Catcher, Ult--Poison is a weak midgame teamfighting skill because of how it has to get stacked to do damage, but you HAVE to level it for solo lanes), so you have to snowball off your powerful laning and ganks with Ult, otherwise you're a LOT less useful than the other mid hero when it gets to midgame. | ||
