You get get 0.25 sec extra stun and a minimal ammount of extra damage per point. Wth. Why not do it like any other logical skill and have it be 1.75/2.25/2.75/3.25 Or perhaps 2.25/damage boost/2.75/3.25 I get that its an important skill it just feels wrong. I ain't icefrog, but here's my view: At level 1-3 you need that long stun as DK. As level 11-25, if it scaled (no pun) more than .25 sec/point then it would be too strong. Make sense? Also, dragon tail is enhanced by you ult anyway, with increased range given, so it doesn't need to be scaled as much through ability points. | ||

Heroes are certain ways purely for diversity and for the designer's vision. Dragon Knight is the only hero that has a long stun along with an aoe nuke. Drawback: mediocre rightclick damage and the stun is melee range. For example there was a time when vengeful spirit's missile had 1.75 seconds stun on every level. But the great designer didn't like only 1 skillpoint in magic missile being viable, so he scaled the stun duration back a little. | ||

On a more serious note, one point wonder skills aren't exactly rare in dota, dragon's tail is just a very extreme example of it. | ||

Dendi never talked about how to play a 5th position hero. He played Lina with Fiery Soul and did well. I assume that's the original reference. | ||

Yeah... but the ability still sucks for what lina is used for, 4th or 5th position support nuker. It should be obvious that attack speed buffs scale very well when you are farming items. | ||

It's not exactly an example of a top level match, but he never told anyone how to play support. I don't think crms's comment was completelly serious. | ||

It was an obviously clownly game from Navi in AWC groups stage (Xboct played SD), and Dendi as Lina did really well against Ferrari's IIRC Naix partly because of a Fiery Soul. I think he got FB in a two man gank from iG or something. It's not exactly an example of a top level match, but he never told anyone how to play support. I don't think crms's comment was completelly serious. Neither was mine. | ||
