Well he's certainly not hugely OP.
But if by "broken" you mean "unfun and needing a rework" then I can see where you're coming from. Personally I don't hate the hero but I can see why others would.

Edit: Having strengths is not the same as being strong. Ember is a slightly too good hero, and incredible in some ways, but he's not that that imbalanced because he also has clear weaknesses. Now, you can argue strengths + weaknesses = bad balance, but that's a different point to claiming he's just straight up too strong. | ||

Nice insight. Are you going to bring up pre-nerf earth spirit's pub win rate too? | ||

Nice insight. Are you going to bring up pre-nerf earth spirit's pub win rate too? Did you miss the part where I brought up BOTH pub play and pro play? We knew that Earth Spirit was far too strong at top level play. We know that Ember is not far too strong at top level play. Pretty clear difference. | ||

I think teams aren't picking correctly against ember, but I think he should be more considered a situational last pick compared to where we are now. But holy shit this hero in pubs is amazing. | ||
